The Buena Vista

Step into one of Michael Flohr's paintings with us.

Michael created a series of Buena Vista Cafe paintings early in his career. Several hang on the walls all around the restaurant. Make sure to take a look next time you're here!

Michael is a sought-after artist who brilliantly captures the essence of his subject with energetic strokes and a vibrant palette.

Denver followers 📣 Michael will be at Fascination St. Fine Art to show his latest Colorado-inspired original works 🎨 THIS weekend.

Cheers 🍀☕️

About last night. The crowd celebrated Joseph in honor of his 50 years behind the bar at The Buena Vista, but not before he poured them a row of perfect Irish Coffees. That's just the kind of guy Joe is. Congratulations and thanks!
