If you have lived in Northern Colorado for any amount of time you know that we have a lot of great restaurants and bars in the area to choose from. Did you know about these ones?

As featured on Zagat, there a few hidden gems in Fort Collins as far as restaurants that are still rather new, that you may not know about.

Offering wood-fired, thin-crusted pizzas coupled with simply prepared pastas and creative salads.

Address: 1100 S. College Ave., Fort Collins

A cocktail lounge, that is the Old Town subterranean speakeasy.

Address: 1 Old Town Square, Fort Collins

This restaurant is influenced from the same owners of the Rio Grande restaurants. From the starlet bar, a centerpiece aging room showcasing sausages and other meats, and a chef's table that runs parallel to the gigantic exhibition kitchen, it is worth the look to say the least.

Address: 101 S. College Ave., Fort Collins

From the people that brought you Los Tarascos, a staple of Fort Collins for 20-years, they have recently added this upscale establishment. It's part margarita bar and part Mexican food oasis based on the cooking of the Michoacán region.

Address: 901 E. Harmony Road, Fort Collins
