Brandon, one of the bartenders tonight, was amazing!! He was kind, courteous and attentive. Drinks and food suggestions were amazing. Our hostess that greeted us at the door as quick and proficient in seating us as well. There may be wait times but well worth it. DO NOT COME IN HERE WITH THE WRONG ATTITUDE. You WILL ruin the ambiance. Thank you. Come correct. read more

The location and vibes are the main attraction here. Enter through the back alley, walk through a maze of maintenance hallways. Get to a secluded underground bar. Its very novel and I enjoyed that a lot. Menu is fine but I wasnt wowed like Ive been at other Denver cocktail bars. Urban cowboy, Gold Star, Lady Jane, would be some examples where drinks have stood out to me. That being said I did have some perfectly serviceable drinks here. And the ambiance and service both make this worth a visit. read more

Such a fun speakeasy experience. We found it tucked in an alley by a dumpster with a doorbell, then went down two flights of stairs and it was exactly what you'd expect. Small, dark, vibey with great bass. Definitely make a reservation ahead of time. We ordered four drinks which came out to $92.27, and they do include an automatic 20% gratuity that they mention when you arrive and are seated. The espresso martinis weren't the best we've had, but we're still glad we checked it out. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. read more

This speakeasy is cool. Reservations recommended. B&gc stands for boys and girls club. We had to go find the door in the alley. We weren't too sure what to do, the gal at the bar walked us to the door. There you'll see the doorbell. Once the door unlocks enter and go down the stairs, down the hallway, until you get to the door. Behind the door is the bar. Very unique path, I felt like a spy. Ambiance is very chill and bright. We ordered craft cocktails and hangout at the booth. The bar is not big, so make a reservation, I can see this place filling up quick. read more

Slightly challenging to find - but well worth the effort. Be sure to text for a reservation ahead of time to secure seating. Definitely speakeasy vibe where you feel like you're somewhere you are not supposed to be - and then end up in a swanky lounge. I often find places like this are best solo or with a +1 where you can sit at the bar and interact with the bartender. Mustafa was tending bar for my visit - he's a master at his craft - and was a pleasure to chat with. The menu was pretty interesting - I'd suggest going with their original specials versus going just with your typical classics. They put in the effort and had some excellent quality cocktails. read more

An upscale speakeasy located in Cherry Creek makes for a fun little evening. Check Resy to see if you can get a table reserved. The number you text given on the website gives you limited/no results. Our server and also our bartender, Ryan, was excellent. He recommended great drinks for us based on our tastes and wants at the moment. I stuck with the Espresso Martini for most of the night- rum based, not vodka, which was a fun twist on the taste. What brought us to B&GC for a second time, was the advertised Gilded or Guilded as it's listed in the menu, Martini. While we did not purchase the $2500 drink/ diamond necklace, we sure did think about it. It was a fun time and I'm glad we tried it for a second time! read more

This was my second time at B&GC and a much better experience. Our bartender was super personable and made great cocktails catered to our taste. The hostess at the front door (past the doorbell in the alley) was also very friendly. After seeing a $2,500 martini with a 1.5 diamond necklace on Instagram, we wanted to revisit. We didn't purchase said item, but we saw the box and glass it came in, and it got a smoky show. Cocktails were well-concocted. The Tree to Talk was a nice blend of jalapeno-infused tequila, cucumber, and thyme, and the classic House Martini Service was excellent. Seating is comfortable, intimate, and a great place to have a conversation. I will say that after trying to get reservations a few times, it is much easier to click on the "reserve a table" button when you first search before clicking on the business website and reserving through Tock because when my friend tried to do it through their site via text, she was unable to get a reservation on the same day when I was able to through Tock. read more

I had such a wonderful experience at B&GC! My friends and I stopped in without a reservation to see if there were any openings on a Saturday night. Although they were fully committed, the hostess Anna took our information and followed up to get us in between other reservations. She really made us feel like a priority- an unreal feeling having never been there before. Also, my friend ended up leaving her sunglasses there and Anna was very responsive, putting them in a secure place for her to pick them up later. I would recommend this place alone for the hospitality, apart from the unreal atmosphere and delicious cocktails. read more

Do you like speakeasies, fancy cocktails, and yummy bites? If so, make an effort to visit B&GC! Reservations are required. You can text a number to make a reservation or reserve on Tock. When you reserve, they will place a refundable charge of $15 per person to your card. I was a little confused and thought it was a deposit that went towards the bill, but it's a temporary charge on your card that is refunded after your visit. They'll send a reminder text the day before your reservation. Once you confirm your reservation, they will text instructions on how to find them. We took an Uber and our driver dropped us off in the completely wrong location, but we eventually found our way. We had a party of three. The hostess was really nice and let my friend and I go in (our third friend was running behind). If your entire party is not with you, make sure they know where to go as cell service may be limited. I had a difficult time texting and calling my friend to let her know where the alley was located. Ryan was our server and he was awesome. He had a fun personality and just made us feel so welcome! He made great recommendations when we were trying to decide on cocktails. Food: We ordered Deviled Eggs and they were so good and savory! It was topped with smoked trout roe and chives. Drinks: I had the Torture Chamber and the Jasmine. Both are gin based cocktails and they were so good and smooth! I preferred the Torture Chamber because of the cucumber and mint. My friends had the Torture Chamber, Corpse Reviver, and Mosquito and they enjoyed their cocktails as well. 20% gratuity is already added and 2.5% culinary charge is added if you order food. The staff definitely earned it! Reservations last 90 minutes. They'll send a text when your reservation is about to end. I've never seen a business do that, but I can appreciate their efforts to keep guests on schedule. The vibe was swanky, but not pretentious. I felt like a VIP and it was one of the highlights of my trip! read more

We came on a weeknight and made last-minute reservations and we were the only ones there! Our bartender was great and we all got different drinks and enjoyed them all. We also got a charcuterie board. Gratuity is included on the bill. The atmosphere is dark and sexy. I'd be interested to go again when it was busier. read more

Cool spot, got to find them, great venue and the cocktails are delicious. Attentive bartenders and staff.

10/10 Experience. It took us a minute to find it, even though instructions were super clear. This was my first speakeasy experience and was perfect. I recommend the dates & bacon and chocolate cheese cake! My fiancé and his friend both noted it was the best old fashion they had ever had. For a small place, it didn't get too loud nor did we feel on top of each other. read more

It was ok, I was very underwhelmed honestly. I was incredibly disappointed to know the $5/shrimp were not cleaned and I had to clean the under belly of the shrimp myself. On the other hand the bacon wrapped dates are phenomenal. That harissa hummus sauce you have is great. Service was good, drinks were underwhelming for the price of each drink. I wish the menu showed you the glass the drinks come in. Other places in cherry creek to have drinks that are better priced n better tasting read more

The Boys & Girls Club, a fancy little speakeasy? Ok! Came here with friends while visiting Denver. $15 per person reservation on Tock. I believe resy is required, then you get assisned a time slot. They give explicit instructions the day of your visit. Located inside the Halocyn Hotel. It was challenging finding the entrance from the street. As it is truly hidden in plain sight on a dark alley, but we did it! We were escorted to the bar down an industrial looking hallway by a hostess. And arrived to a chic tiny bar. We were greeted soon after being seated. I think you get 2 hours for your Resy. Service - was great. I belive our server was Ryan. He was wonderful, jolly, and informative. Gave some solid recommendations. But our receipt says Audry, so maybe we had multi servers? Drinks - First drink I had the Torture Chamber. It was well balanced cocktail. Second drink I had the Corpse Reviver #2. It was delicious. Would order both again if I ever return. Based on the reviews, the food is fantastic. Sad I didn't eat here. Bring your purse, it's pricey. Drinks are good, worth a visit! read more

SUCH a cute cocktail bar. It really has the speakeasy vibe with the exclusive feel, the way to get into the bar (provided after making a reservation), and the art deco decor. Drinks were reasonably priced-- I mean, signature drinks at most cocktail bars are $15-25. We didn't get signature drinks and they were about $14 each. I didn't mind at all since our bartender had absolutely no issue making me the best mojito I've ever had. People said drinks took 25+ minutes, my mojito only took maybe 5? To be fair we went at 6p. Maybe that's a little early. Yes it's a $15/person fee to reserve but it's refunded once you check in. Probably just to keep the lowkey vibe and ensure people actually show for reservations. Their food looked great too, although we didn't get any. Only thing I'm not a fan of is seemingly texting a real person for reservations. Luckily my text was answered pretty quickly but if I were them I'd switch to something automated. Still gonna give 5 stars though bc 1 that didn't affect me and 2 just bc perfectly rated doesn't mean there's nothing to improve on :) Already planning when to go back read more

B&GC, Boys & Girls Club, is a glamor & glitz, clandestine cozy bar nestled in the back of the Halcyon Hotel in the affluent Cherry Creek neighborhood. Make sure to make reservations through Tock before arriving! The entrance is in the back of the Halcyon Hotel where you gain entry by pressing the same gold doorbell as featured on their website. A bit hidden as you'll be guided by the check in attendant in the back room (poor thing!) I highly recommend you ask to sit by the bar to chat with the bartender(s) for recommendation of drinks. I tried their Pandan Express which tastes like a spiked lemonade. I enjoyed their bacon wrapped dates and chocolate cake a lot! Overall the decor and ambiance brings you into an enthralling romantic mood. Highly recommend you check this place out for a date night! read more

I almost didn't want to leave a review for this hidden gem because I don't want it to become too popular for us to get back in. Everything about the experience was unique and special. In fact, it was so special, that my husband and I ended up having 3 drinks each before heading out to our dinner reservations. Woops! The atmosphere, service, and last but certainly not least, the cocktails exceeded all expectations. read more

Went there with a group of friends. Very cool to find this place and make your way down to the bar. Location and atmosphere are amazing.

Absolutely worth checking out while in Denver. read more

Fun speakeasy bar with a secret door and hidden location. The drinks were great, classy atmosphere although I wish people would dress up more. Would be great if the staff had uniforms. Live music would be great as well. Some of the booths had a side chair next to them to fit people, not a fan of that. read more

A great speakeasy with knowledgeable bartenders and balanced cocktails. Make reservations online. Entrance is via the alley in a door marked "private". You'll enter through what seems to be the back corridors of the Halcyon hotel. Stepping inside is a vibrant room that strikes just the right balance between intimate and bustling. The service was fantastic. They indulged me in custom cocktails based on elements that I like from various cocktails. I love Sfumato, and they were able to make a cocktail based on that. I liked it, but didn't love it, so the next cocktail they built on my feedback and made something outstanding. Don't sleep on the cocktails on the menu either, they were also great and unique. The Fajita Effect was one of my faves. We had dinner beforehand, so didn't partake much in the food menu, but it's a decent selection if you're hungry. Definitely work checking out if you're into speakeasies or cocktails. read more

Definitely make reservations before going! Reservation link can be found via their IG (@bandgcdenver) or going here: https://www.exploretock.com/bandgcdenver My husband made reservations two weeks prior for 2 at 8:15PM Thursday. We were ahead of schedule that day and showed up early. They were kind enough to provide us a new reservation time at 7:15PM. The building entrance is in the alleyway so just look for a sign that says "Stair 3" and a golden doorbell. The front staff gave us fun facts about the building as we made our way to the main bar; we were told it used to be a post office building. From their site, it seems this used to be the former Cherry Creek Post Office. Getting to the bar from the main entrance was somewhat convoluted but the staff told us to follow the painted black arrows on the wall to find our way out. The bar was already packed at 7:15PM with medium noise level. This would be a great spot for date night! :) They provided us a QR code to the online menu (https://bandgcdenver.com/menu/). We ordered the Sakura Sour $18 (Toki Japanese Whisky, Pecan Infused Plantation Rum, Italicus, Lemon, Purple Yam, Cherry, Jasmine, Fee Foam) and Say You'lI Be There $19 (High West Double Rye, Allspice, Gingercello, Honey, Absinthe). The latter tasted very similar to a whiskey sour but was not as bitter as I thought it'd be. Bar seating was nice because we got to watch the bartenders make the drinks. You could tell a lot of thought was put into the menu. Highly recommend :) read more

I'm a sucker for a cool, dark bar and this one delivers. My husband and I have been checking speakeasies off our list of must-visits and this one was near the top of it. First off, make a reservation. They do take walk-ins but I've also seen several groups get turned away so better to just make the resi. It's located down an alley and really feels like you're being ushered into a secret lair. The bar is sexy and we're so glad we sat here because we got to see the bartenders at work concocting some amazing cocktails. We've tried a few off the menu (all delicious), but what's even more fun is chatting it up with the bartender and sharing your preferences while they create their own mix tailored to what you like. I love gin and London made an exceptional fruit-forward gin cocktail that was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. My husband, the whiskey guy, kept asking for a sip because he loved it too. They also have beautiful glassware - drinking out of a teacup?? SIGN. ME. UP! We've only tried the arancini off the food menu, but they were super tasty and perfectly crispy. $$$ you're definitely paying for the location as the drinks are a bit pricey, but the quality is excellent so it aligns. I love the ambiance here and it's the perfect place for a night out. Already planning our next visit read more

PS. Reservations do come handy, specially weekends, the place was extremely busy, so the wait can be a long one, but worth it! read more

I was visiting Denver for work and came with a friend on a week day. This is probably my favorite speakeasy to ever visit. It was hidden and tucked away where you had to search for the doorbell. We did not have a reservation and were turned away, but made a reservation for 30mins later and came back and were seated. The inside was pretty, and the menu boasted an awesome array of specialty mixed cocktails with many unique flavor combinations. I loved the darkest sour which had notes of sesame. We sat at the bar and one of the bartender/mixologists was very kind and talked with us some. My friend wanted a drink similar to a bloody mary (not on the menu) and they were eager to please by making a custom drink on the fly that she said was great. If you are visiting denver I highly recommend B&GC! read more

We were taken to this speakeasy by someone in the know...fun figuring out where it was and entering into a magical space. The decor is a nod to art deco, very classic and dim moody lighting. The bartender was outstanding, put on an understated but incredible show. We ordered off the menu for our first round. Loved my artichoke Negroni and the Penicillin was a cut above a usual one. Wow! Second round we let the bartender choose based on our preferences and he did not disappoint. He was magical. read more

B&GC - The vibe... - Speakeasies Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My husband and I came here for an after dinner drink on our anniversary, we only had a tiny bit of trouble finding it. We were sat at the bar and even though it was pretty busy we only waited like 10 minutes for our first drink. I got the Martini service which was very good! My husband tried the Sazerac which he enjoyed. While we were waiting for our first drinks we started to get whiffs every few minutes of something that smelled like a dead rat or mouse which obviously killed our vibe. I had to try the Caprese martini so I ordered that and we were like we got to get out of here, the smell was becoming overwhelming. I guess in hindsight we prob should have bounced right when we smelled the smell, but we had looked forward to coming here for a month, so 2 drinks and we were out. It was kind of disappointing. The drinks however were good. But overall the ambiance and the smell were not good enough to come back. The stars are purely for the drinks. read more

B&GC is my favorite speakeasy in Denver. From the sophisticated-with-a-hint-of-scandal decor, the attentive service, and the absolutely amazing drinks, I loved it all. What an experience! It all began with finding the place itself which was a fun seek. Got seated at the bar and the fun immediately began. I went with Dealer's Choice which is where you tell the bartender what alcohol and profile you like. My base was a Hendrick's Flora Adora, which if you like gin, I highly recommend this. Two bartenders created my drinks and I loved each of their creative interpretations. Their skills are top-notch. The food is also great. I'm a fan of their chocolate chip cookies. The place does get loud but it's lively. Highly recommend B&GC! read more

I'm a sucker for fancy cocktails....throw in a swanky, clandestine, speakeasy vibe and count me in! B&GC is a pretty amazing place in the depths of the Halycon Hotel. It has an Art Deco vibe somewhat akin to the bar in the shinning. Service was wonderful and we were well taken care of. Sitting at the Bar is the best option as you can see all the cocktails being crafted. I thoroughly enjoyed my Butterfly effect as it is both tasty and pretty. My second cocktail , a classic , Penicillin .... was wonderfully crafted and delicious. Snacks were wonderful as well: Great deviled eggs and fries which complemented the cocktails perfectly. The bar is well stocked with plenty of cult Bourbons: Weller ( 12yr, CYOB, Full Proof, and Antique 107) , Michters, Stagg etc. Gins and Vodkas. Great music and ambiance perfect for a date! My Tip to you is text them several times to get a reservation as they are busy working. It took me two days to get a confirmation. You won't be sorry you did! read more

The acoustics are problematic in this small of a space, but a good acoustician could help eliminate the need to shout at the person across from you to be heard. Also, they could enforce a stricter dress code for their "hostesses," who looked more like a couple of teenagers watching their beaus flipping boards at the skate park vs. the gatekeepers of a swanky secret drinking establishment, but what do I know? Other than those two areas of improvement, I had a lovely time with good friends and drank some truly interesting concoctions! The wallpaper in the bathrooms was also VERY interesting ;-) read more

Speakeasy the way they should be: not cheesy but nice with stellar cocktails. If you are lucky enough to get Greg, you will be well taken care of. Highlights: - GREG + dealers choice = Life changing! -- Hub told him what type of drinks he liked and they were polar opposite: more bitter type like an old fashioned/ sazerac or fruity tiki. Was expecting one or the other, but without hesitation Greg said he could give him it all in one drink. And delivered. An old fashioned with tropical fruit infused in somehow. The perfect child creation of his two favorite types of drinks. -- I asked for an old fashioned not so sweet that was more coffee chocolate nutty and it was one of the best I've had.. Walnut and pistachio plus ancho chile chocolate bitters. AMAZING! Made me so happy. - Speakeasy-ness: you need to look for bell to find and go down through unfinished basement like area and stunning reveal when you open the door to the bar. - Atmosphere: classy, loungey, and dark with semicircle booths - Menu: there is a menu where others chose their drinks and enjoyed them--some unique and some traditional. - Easy booking: text them on the number found on the website and got a quick reply Lowlights: - Greg ruined me for life: I will be hard pressed to find a custom cocktail this good anywhere else. - Other bartender on staff I could tell wasn't as amazing since he insisted people choose their one type of drink and they were completely unhappy with what they got back. Catapulted up to one of my top cocktail spots I've been to (and there have been many). read more

Such a fun time coming here! The entrance and being led down the stairs and through a hallway made the experience exciting, and the ambiance and service once we entered the bar was lovely.

This place is a victim of its own success. Once my favorite lounge in Denver is now a shell of its former self. The drinks have gotten terrible and the unkempt crowd brings the authenticity and class down. While that likely sounds pretentious, there is a dress code at upscale establishments for employees and patrons alike because it creates an elegant atmosphere and enhances the experience. I like a dive bar when I go to a dive bar and a lounge when I go to a lounge. I was greatly saddened by the fall of B&GC. Luckily I found room for Milly and spend my time there. read more

A gorgeous speakeasy bar! Honestly, one of the most impressive display of bartending skills I've ever had the privilege to see. We sat at the bar and got an upfront seat to the process. It was a pleasure to watch them build complex drinks with complete ease. Our first round we both ordered off the menu. I had the Where My Rosemary Goes and my friend tried the Pandan Express. Both very good for signature cocktails, but not best of the night. We also ordered the crab dip and the arancini, but by happenstance we also got another of the Croquets from the Hotel's kitchen as well! Amazing luck for us, because there were fantastic. From there we went on to give the bartenders a chance to show off! We both ordered several Bartender's Choice. There's several ways you can go about this and they're very good at leading you through to find the best fit for you. Examples: What's your preferred liquor and do you prefer it spirit forward or floral or fruity? So then ordered "Whiskey or Bourbon, Fruity- Maybe stone fruits" and got a beautiful sour that was made with Suntory, green chartreuse and a combination of bitters. It was excellent! Another example: "If I said I wanted a Paloma, but not just a Paloma?" They made me a fantastic tequila based drink with a Grapefruit liquor and fever-tree club soda. That one was my favorite! All this to say, we will obviously be back! read more

We had reservations and were celebrating our anniversary. A person was waiting before us trying to get a seat since he didn't have a reservation. He was sat with his date before us and when we were taken to our table the hostess found our table was given away to this person. No apologies were made and both the hostess and bar manager glossed over this and sat us at the bar. Nothing was done or mentioned to make this right. We were not impressed by the level of service given how high end this was supposed to be and the deposit for reservations. We made the reservations after my buddy recommended this place. Because of this we ended our evening early and left. read more

Came here on a whim after seeing it nearby! Was fantastic but you have to text first and get a reservation. Full of history and charm. Will show felt drop back again for another drink.

And the place is hidden but if you wander down the alley there is a golden doorbell which helps locate the door. read more
