Illegal Pete's

Illegal Petes
After surviving the tremendous controversy over the name “illegal” in its name, Illegal Pete’s in Fort Collins is soaring into the hearts and stomachs of many. It’s here to stay with the original name intact and in a prime location at 320 Walnut Street. The vast interior and raised alcove help make it our town’s newest music venue and hip hangout. There are two floors of fantastic sunlight dining areas and an enormous rooftop patio that will be inviting all when the weather is warm. The “mission style” Mexican restaurant brings fast- casual to The Fort with bands lining up to play in the substantial space. Once you step inside, you’ll be amazed that this is the former location of the Goodwill. The casual atmosphere, music lineup and simple- tasty food are bringing people back one burrito at a time. Like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter. Check out the complete menu online at illegalpetes.com.
