    GREAT VIBES AND DRINKS This was my first distillery experience and I don't have anything prior to compare it to but it was so much fun!! The space was so pretty too. Encore to Michael, the owner of the distillery, for showing us some an amazing time. Had a tasting of his vodka and gin, and I was so shocked when I didn't need a chaser! Because their vodka and gin are made of grapes , the aftertaste bitterness isn't there! I highly rec the cocktail class. Learned a lot and the drinks were so goood. Gosh, Michael was so funny and a great host. My group had a blast. I can't wait to visit this distillery in the mountains! Tysm Michael!!

    While in Denver, I wanted to check out some distilleries and visited Archetype Distillery. I didn't really know what to expect but WOW this place is amazing! We just walked into their lounge/bar on a Friday night and sat at the bar. The bartenders (who were also the owners) make some seriously good drinks!! They have a ton of different spirits with different flavors - you can tell them what flavor profiles you like and they can whip up a custom cocktail for you. Really fun experience! The venue is also beautiful and modern. They also do private events, weddings, concerts, etc. The bartenders were super friendly, make really good recommendations and made our visit memorable. Be sure to check them out!

    A group of friends and I went to Archetype Distillery for the distillery tour and tasting. This truly is a Denver hidden gem that does not need to be missed! The tour began, and ended, in the tasting room/bar. Michael, the owner, gave us a history of the building and a background on the business. I always love when you can hear and see the vision of the owner. It really helps you appreciate their proverbial blood, sweat, and tears that went into opening the doors to the public. It took about two years for the renovation of the building to its current state. From the atmosphere to the selection of spirits, Archetype Distillery is a great place to hang out. They even do private events. You get a couple of choices for your tasting, and both are smooth. After the tour, we also ordered the Kitty Galore and I had an Angel's Flight so I could try the beef jerky, habanero, and dill vodkas. Those with a keen eye will notice the ice cubes are actually top hats, which is a theme at Archetype Distillery. (If you want to know why, you'll have to take the tour!) Be sure you check in on Yelp for the BOGO on Thursday and Friday nights!

    Tell the bartenders what you like and they'll make something you've never had before!! Made with beef jerky distillate!

    Great distillery with many different distilled liquer flavors, including their own gin and vodka made from wine grapes! Distillations include many teas like earl grey, jasmine, rooibos, lapsing souchong, and also unique flavors like blue cheese, beef jerky, habanero, and cacao! Great contemporary industrial vibe. No TV's (at the time of this review), but that helps prevent distractions from what this place thrives to be. Wonderful and knowledgeable bartenders (oops, they're the owners!)!!! Tell them what you like and they'll make you something you've never had before!!!

    I love vodka and I love gin - what better place than to come to Archetype Distillery who specializes in both?! Did the $25 tour and tasting + signature cocktail and it was more than I even expected! The vodka and gin are made from grapes grown in Northern California, and the distilling process is extremely intricate and time consuming. BUT it produces one of the most flavorful vodka and gin I've ever had without needing any sort of mixer. The gin has a more botanical taste and aroma, and I absolutely love that even though my dad prefers a more juniper berry flavor. Safe to say he is a gin snob and loved this gin. The Smokey vodka and Smokey gin was so intriguing and had a real smoky flavor - almost like jerky and brisket (don't knock it till you try it). Had the full tour of the distillery which was so incredibly clean and spacious. Perfect event space if you ever needed to rent it out for a party or reception! Finished off with a signature cocktail - I had the gin & tonic and dad had the red rock. Ok but the homemade tonic is INSANELY good. Like, so incredible you all need to book a tour during the week or head down Fri-Sun to have a drink at the bar and lounge. The distillates aren't currently for sale since they are working on bottling and recipes, but if you get the chance to try the earl grey vodka, you will absolutely love it. I wish I could've taken home 10 bottles! All of their distillates are made with the actual ingredient it is infused with (ex: earl grey, habanero, dill, bleu cheese, strawberry, and so many more). If you're looking for a cocktail, tour experience, or a mixture of both - this is the place for you. Cheers!

    There's a room for smaller events with this gorgeous mural. They even have empty bottles of their gin and vodka to pose with!

    My best friend and I went on their tour of the facility with a cocktail making class and had the best time. Ryan gave us an amazing tour with information about the building, the distilling process, and showed us where they make their unique distillates (and more)! The owner, Michael, showed us how to make four different cocktails with a variety of ingredients and suited to our flavor profiles. We were able to buy premade cocktails using their premium distillates to take home with us! Both were incredibly personable and kind people and made the experience so fun! We couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're thinking about going, you absolutely should. The experience and atmosphere is unmatched!

    My husband and I had a fantastic time. Both bartenders explained everything so well and showed us how to make each drink even at home! We will definitely be ordering their alcohol to our home. It's the best gin and vodka I have tasted so very smooth and the flavored alcohol was amazing. Options like Jalapeño, Serrano, Habanero, orange, ginger, dill and so much more please take your time to come to this place

    If you have walked down Broadway over the years you have probably thought to yourself "WHEN will something be done to this dilapidated building?!". An old and scandalous movie theater, with so many tales, could aspire to be something great and a bit out of the ordinary. Today we have Archetype, which has taken this scene of urban despair, and embraced so much of where it started. Stripping away the grime, they have exposed such beauty and history, creating a welcome addition for simple gathering or celebrating momentous occasions. With beautiful brick walls, modern lighting, a rustic balcony overlooking the distillery, they have shaped this perfect piece of old with the new. Wait, did I just get to the point? It IS a Distillery! This abandoned building now produces beautiful gin and vodka, with subtle sweetness and the smoothest finish this side of the Atlantic. Thanks to the owners' distilling forefathers, they have brought to us a perfectly crafted spirit that makes a wonderful cocktail or can be sipped on its' own. They complimented their spirits with some inventive cocktails that include jerky, a mist of lavender, and liquid nitrogen for some theatrical effects! All served by the gregarious Simon, our bartender, who truly was the cherry on top. He posseses the quirkiness of Sherlock Holmes, while crafting drinks you didnt know you wanted. As if reading your mind! Now, I am just a neighbor who has patiently waited for something worthwhile to move in, and I could not be more pleased with what they have created!

    Quaint distillery with a cozy atmosphere. They make their own gin and vodka and can suggest a drink for anyone.

    We were staying down the street from The Four Seasons and wanted to pop in for a drink after dinner…read moreat the Remedy Bar. We walked in and it appeared to be a quiet night, we could see the bar was pretty empty. The hostess asked if we were staying at the hotel and we said no, we were dropping by for cocktails and wished to sit outside. She told us we could sit inside at a couch area by the entrance. One of our friends walked through the bar and noticed the fire pit seating areas were available and asked a server if we could sit there instead. She looked at us and said she would have to ask the hostess if any were available. Clearly they were and they didn't want our group sitting there for some reason. The bar was practically empty so not sure what the issue would be, perhaps it was because we were not hotel guests. After not getting back to us we just sat ourselves outside. Our server was Nivas. Nivas was not overly friendly but she was attentive. We ordered a couple rounds of cocktails. They were pricy but good. The fire pit tables are very nice. If you can sit outside at a fire pit I would recommend doing so.

    Remedy Bar at the Four Seasons in Vail was such a lovely experience. The space itself felt light,…read moreairy, and relaxed. Such a relaxing but chic spot to enjoy a meal after being out in the mountains. Our waitress was not overbearing and gave us enough time between bites to take it all in. She also made sure we got the full experience with the hot chocolate to marvel at its glory! The food was excellent, but the butternut squash soup was truly outstanding. It had a beautiful natural sweetness with a subtle hint of apple that made the flavor feel layered and comforting, and the pepitas added the perfect little crunch. It was one of those dishes you keep thinking about after you leave. We also ordered the hummus, which tasted incredibly fresh and crisp, light, bright, and perfectly refreshing alongside the richer dishes. But the real star of the experience was the hot chocolate. It was absolutely decadent and comforting, easily one of the best cups of hot chocolate I've ever had. Rich, smooth, and the perfect treat in a snowy Vail setting. Overall, Remedy Bar delivers a beautiful atmosphere, delicious food, and a cozy mountain-luxury experience. I would absolutely recommend stopping in if you're visiting Vail.

    Me and my family had an amazing time here after a long day of skiing we decided to get dinner here…read more Wow the food and vibes of the place were IT. Our server "Claudia" was a delight very insightful about the menu and we had an awesome conversation.

    We stopped in at the Red Lion after skiing…read more It was crowded and we were looking for an outside table for six people. Only four of us were there as the other two were across the street at Christy's returning their rental skis. There was a table of 6 but the hostess said she couldn't sit us until the other two arrived. Right then, a guy walks up and asks for that same table. He was by himself and she gave the table with six chairs to him. His full party was clearly not there but she sat him anyway. Why is that allowed? Clearly favoritism. And to be clear, two of his friends showed up and the other three never arrived. So, at that point we told the hostess we were now a table of four and she said we could sit at a table that had 3 chairs. Well okay....we took it. We grabbed the table and asked other tables around us for the extra 3 chairs and everyone was nice enough to give us the extra chairs. Our server, Suzanne was excellent. Very attentive, friendly and immediately brought us our drinks and food. The nachos were tasty. Drinks were good but pricy. I give Suzanne 5 stars, food 3 stars hostess 0 stars. Treat everyone fairly and respectfully. The hostess could use customer service training.
