The service and drinks were top notch. I was intrigued by the variety of ingredients in the drinks that I’m not used to seeing in a cocktail but they were all delicious. Our server Ricky was attentive and on top of everything for our whole visit. I also appreciated that they didn’t let us back until they were ready to seat us and had a guide to our table. I wouldn’t say the food was necessarily anything to write home about. We ordered the ricotta ciabatta and the burger and thought it tasted fine.

The staff was very accommodating as we had a large party and there aren't many large tables. Loved the atmosphere. We tried the scallops, frog legs and bone marrow. Everything was really good, but the drinks were awesome. I had the bartender's choice and they made me a mezcal smoky old fashioned which definitely hit the spot. Our server Ricky was friendly, funny and quick with service. Awesome hangout!

This is someplace I would give 15 stars if I could. Jose (our server) made us feel like best friends. He was not pushy and he explained a lot of things on the menu. The drink menu is extremely different from anywhere I’d spent time. The food was simple and executed fantastically. But the big attraction for me was that it really had a cool speakeasy vibe and I am highly recommending this to anyone and everyone.

We had so much fun here! Such a cool vibe & I loved how they put our group of 6 in a semi private area. It was great & our server was phenomenal. Kenny was so funny, very knowledgeable about the menu, checked on us regularly (our drinks didn’t stay empty for very long), & he really helped make my sister’s birthday special.

Update 7/13/25 - We were able to go and it was a fun experience. I would recommend. I would also go on an empty stomach so I could try more of their food. Original Review 6/3/25 - My reservation was canceled with short notice due to a private event, which was frustrating and disappointing. However, the manager followed up, apologized, and made an effort to make it right. I appreciated the gesture and will give them another chance.

Cute lil vibe. Speakeasy in nature. Despite the mix up where they were seating walk ins before our reservation we had a great time! They make sure to take care of us after their mistake. I also tried it elk! Very interesting and a must try when in Denver !

I’ve been to this bar three times so far, every time with a different seasonal menu. Because they change their menus according to the seasons, I wouldn’t be talking about specific drinks, but my overall impression. We usually get 6-8 different drinks every time we visit. Welcome drink: the welcome drinks are SOO good across the board. It’s also a decent size, not something you can finish with one sip. Bartender’s choice: this is probably my favorite way to drink, since the drinks I’ve asked them to make have surprised me and honestly tasted better than the seasonal ones (not to say the seasonal menu is not good, it’s just that the option to customize a drink according to your likes has more success). Some of the ingredients they use are made by the house. You can also request them to make a drink with a particular base, and the price might range from $18 to above depending on the base. Whisky selections: they have something of every brand from the UK and Ireland. I was surprised that they had a particular Irish scotch that I was looking for. Definitely a place to go if you like whisky. Also they have a bunch of Japanese whisky bottles. Seasonal cocktails: although the drinks change according to the season, many of the drinks themselves don’t really “remind you” of the particular season you’re in. That said, the summer menu was definitely lighter and fresher than the autumn and winter menus. The autumn one of 2024 was interesting, and my favorite one was the one with baijiu and sake (I had to mention this one because it’s one of the more unique and nicely mixed cocktails I’ve had in Colorado.) Service: very friendly and professional. Atmosphere: it’s not actually a hard-to-find speakeasy as the entrance is right on the corner of an intersection. The door to the bar is an actual bookshelf with real books, but the waiting room is not super big. Appointment: we went once without an appointment and the wait was about 45minutes when we were texted, but then we had to wait about 15-20min more after checking in (this was on a weekend night). When we had appointments and arrived on time, the wait was around 5-10min after checking in.

This is a super cool speakeasy!!! From the entrance to the way you leave, very true to the old speakeasies!! Atmosphere is a fun, low light, very well done vibe. Food was fantastic with some great options. Drinks are next level!! This is one place that you better have a reservation, be standing in line 15-20 minutes before they open or it will be a long wait! When we went, it was raining, we got there about 15 minutes before it opened and we were second in line. By the time they opened the door, there were 5 parties standing in the rain waiting…. It’s that good!!
