    Came across this hidden gem by accident and what a special treat it was. Something about this place just feels so cool and relaxed and is the perfect place for a nightcap. All the drinks we had were great, I chose a Negroni which is my go to. The best part is they offer Underberg shots, which we'd never had before, but is a German digestif. If you're looking for a bar in downtown Denver, look no further, this is your sign to stop in.

    Cute, cute, cute. Fun little bar near to Larimer Square. Decor is eclectic and hilarious. Drinks are stylish, fun, and reasonably priced for high end spirits. Our server was so nice and very knowledgeable about the menu and spirits in general. I opted for "The Woo Girl" which included "booze" as the ingredients. Bathroom design and decor are both top notch as well! Great find and great listing on The Westword's 100 new and noteworthy bars in Denver!

    I'm obsessed with this cocktail bar! My friend and I found Bedlam after having dinner at A5 Steakhouse just around the corner. We grabbed seats along the wall, which was beautifully designed and decorated. Their Sazerac (Cub's Sazzy) is unique and one of the best I've had. Would love to come back to try more cocktails on their menu and sit at their main bar. Perfect for a date night or nightcap after dinner downtown.

    Cool spot with vintage vibes and a good place to socialize. Good pricing on Cocktails and they have an interesting selection and can also make something that you like. Friendly staff who keep you entertained.

    If the City of Denver can boast about some unique bar which gives you the 1920's Paris era ambiance where time stands still, then you should look no further. This space used to be Deep Roots Winery & Bistro which I utilized once in the past. I didn't know what had happened to them as my memory with them fell into oblivion. Apparently, it closed back in 2020 and the space had stood empty for years before the owner started to renovate the place and turned into a beautiful bar with all sorts of vintage stuff displayed throughout. Named after the first asylum for the mentally ill in England is a story that appears to have a deep meaning behind it, the bar's logo design is so intriguing and goes so well with the overall atmosphere of the bar. This place may be advertised as a bar with "European comfort food". The prices for the drinks and foods are extremely reasonable for the location (on Wazee) and the elevated atmosphere. This place, not like other places that have "closed days", is open 7 days a week from 4:30pm to 2am. People in Denver can rely on this place no matter what day of the week when they feel like a good bar food and a quick drink after work at 5pm or late into the night when you simply don't feel like going home because you just want to immerse yourself in some nostalgia. For me and my adult daughter, it was an early Christmas family dinner on a Tuesday night. I got a glass of Izadi Rioja Reserva and she got a glass of N/A Aperol Spritz. And to go with our drinks, we got us the Smoke Trout & Onion Dip and Baked Brie. On a wooden board, they gave us plenty of crackers and pieces of bread to savor the two dishes. Did we have any complaints to talk bad about any of the stuff we ordered? Absolutely not. No matter what your drink is, these two dishes will go well with it. A few things I would like to mention about this place: 1) This is not a place where you will expect to eat a lot of "filling" foods. After all, this is a cocktail bar with elevated bar foods. As far as we remember correctly, the menu for the food is quite small. Maybe you can eat lightly before you go here. But the drink options are plenty; it will not disappoint you. 2) Open bar seating only. I did call them ahead of time and made a (ghost) reservation but you might waste your effort by doing so. Just walk in and see if you can grab a table or a few bar seats. 3) This is more like a little suggestion to the bar staff/owner. The kind of music that was being played in the background was a bit of a mismatch to the overall ambiance. Like I said, this place is like stepping into 1920's Paris era (to me, that is how I describe it.) In my opinion, if they play the kind of music or songs used in the "Midnight In Paris" soundtrack, it would elevate the whole place to the next level (in short, some old jazz music would be great.) Well, ever since our last night's dining experience, I've told at least one of my good friends about this cocktail bar. Word of mouth is sometimes the best way to spread the good news; the good news about this place will most likely spread. As much as I want to keep this place secret as this is my "little gem" or "little jam", I simply couldn't hold back my excitement to be expressed on Yelp. So go check this place out.

    Excellent new cocktail bar in LoDo! A friend suggested this place and I was like "huh, what is that?" I had never heard of Bedlam until walking in. Once we made it inside I remembered this took over the former Deep Roots Winery space. The bar has a beautiful exposed brick wall, a carefully curated menu, and an overall aesthetically pleasing atmosphere. Definitely more of a cozy date spot, though us three dudes bellied up to the bar. I like places that serve craft cocktails, but don't judge you if you're in the mood for a shot and a beer. The bartenders here aren't pretentious at all. I ordered an Old Fashioned and it was tasty and well balanced. Little sweet, little bitter just how it should be. Let the whiskey shine! Glad to see this space back in action. A truly gorgeous bar that any bar rat should check out. Perfect for a quick cocktail!

    Bedlam made Westword's Top 100 List under New and Noteworthy, and it is well-deserved. This narrow, well-decorated space reminds me of many NYC bars/restaurants. Service was fast and friendly. There are fun, upscale bites (Lays and caviar, who would have thought?) with excellent cocktails. I tried the La Bandita which went down a little too easily which to me, shows the expertise in the blend of ingredients (tequila, lime, Amari, and orange blossom water). A nice place to have a conversation with a friend and to just look at all the eclectic yet well-curated decor on the walls and around the area. A carved wooden sign hanging from wrought iron leads you to this lovely bar on Wazee Street.

    Beautiful aesthetic

    Amazing bar, Shawn is an absolute sweetheart and Moss as well. It was my best friends birthday and they both went out of their way to serve us and make the night special. Thank you guys!!

    Visited this spot for our third drink of the night. The drinks sounded delicious, but my heart was asking for an espresso martini. The bartender was gracious enough to make a delicious one for me. Loved the energy and vibe of this spot.

Shout to the team for having our table ready when we got there even though it was very busy that day. We started off with the Fall Salad and I think it was one of my favorite things we ordered. I had no idea beets can be that delicious! After that, everything else came out: roasted carrots, barramundi, and wagyu flank steak. They also put in an order or pommes frites (French fries) on accident and decided to give it to us on the house. Thanks! The roasted carrots were really good and sweet. You could tell they were quality carrots. The barramundi was another one of my favorites. I'm a fan of fish and they did an excellent job of cooking the barramundi with a great sauce(?) that tasted great with it. I found the wagyu steak flank overcooked and really salty which was disappointing given the price. The pommes frites were cooked well but also extremely salty. Overall, I would recommend Sunday Vinyl if you are trying to take someone to a place that is unique and don't mind paying a bit extra. It is a bit loud in there (we had to raise our voices a bit to hold a conversation) but it is also a vinyl place so you would expect them to show off their music.

The smoked burrata was delicious, especially with all the toppings it came with. The sea bass completely surprised me, in the best way. Sweet, spicy, savory, crunchy, with so many different textures and flavors happening at once. The lamb skewers were another favorite. The meat was thinly sliced and secured on the skewer, which made every bite incredibly tender. They were just bomb overall! The drinks were also very well put together and complemented the food perfectly. The server was outstanding. Definitely a place I'm eager to come back to and try more dishes from the menu!

And from that point on, from first taste, I knew my experience would be exceptional. The service was attentive without being overly attentive, and the chef's were so kind, answering every one of my weird questions about what they were preparing or ingredients that I noticed. I ordered the smoked burrata to start. The balance between the candied pistachio, artichoke pesto, and wagyu cecina really created a well balanced and unexpected dish. The burrata was creamy and the salty and sweet components balanced the aged sherry gastrique and made for an incredible intro to a beautiful performance by the chefs. Next was another small dish, which I wish I remembered the description for (I need to bring a little notebook with me), but it was a perfect segue into the next course, the ibérico presa. Wow. Just wow. White asparagus has got to be one of my favorite vegetables next to artichokes, when done exceptionally well, as they most definitely were. The piquillo peppers and pickled shallots complemented the pork, which was so soft, perfectly. I definitely died and went to heaven at this point in the meal. This is probably when I should've stopped eating because after this point, still pure delight, but my poor stomach was soooooo full. Next was another small bite to lead into my next course, also incredible. Wish I could describe it. My next course was the European sea bass. Now, sea bass is my favorite fish of all time. The perfectly crisp skin, the red onion jam, the spicy sweet balance was perfection. I loved every bite. The olive oil potatoes were a perfect complement. And at this point, I was bursting at the seems... but I still ordered dessert, because you only live once and food is one of the great joys of life. For dessert, I had the crema. The honeycomb on top, the cherries, all leading to a perfect finish. A time was had. Thanks El Five

Loved the perfectly chewy ropes of bucatini tangled with crumbled blue cheese, Castelvetrano olives -- and vodka sauce? This should've been a weird disaster, but wound up being our table's favorite dish. Every dish is a commitment to the genuinely unexpected. There was something delightfully more than just salt, pepper and fry behind the eggroll-sized mozarella sticks. Then there was the fig gelato, flanked by warm pear -- and oh my gosh, the apple tart! We had to go back and reread the menu to realize that the caramel really was spicy! This kitchen really finds the funky note in a dish and leans into it. Come ready to share. Every item comes in a "single" and a "mingle" size, which was great for our table of four. We would order 1-2 mingle-sized items, pass them around, and argue about who gets the last forkful. The rough edge is perhaps the service, but this spot is new and finding its rhythm. We found the handoff between counter and floor to be clunky, since it felt like pressure to order in order to be seated, not to order drinks and wait for a table. Maybe this works in a larger space. Maybe they just need to smooth out the flow. Either way, the people are sweet, and the food delicious.

    We came here for a nice dinner night out after hearing great things about the restaurants and I was…read moresomewhat disappointed. Coming into it, I know Boombots has an eclectic restaurant with a fusion pasta menu, and I was fully on board with trying some weird, funky pasta. The restaurant was nicely laid out and decorated, and the vibes are great. The drinks are delicious and they have one of my favorite non-alcoholic cocktails (What the Hellyante). However, the mains come and the wheels fell apart. We got the congee risotto, the bucatini primavera, and the gyros cavatelli. Let's start with the positive. The bucatini primavera was tasty. The pasta was well cooked and everything ate very well together, albeit a little dry. Overall, a good dish. The congee risotto was also not bad. It was definitely one of the dish I was looking forward as someone who followed their Instagram, but the execution was off. The rice was well cooked but it ate just a tad bland. The 63 degree egg was just a tad over and unfortunately, the told was on the cold side. That said, it was tasty nonetheless. My least favorite part was the amount of toasted seeds on top. There was simply too much and it knocked the balance of the dish towards overly crunchy, which is not necessarily what you expect in a risotto or a congee dish. Finally, the gyros cavatelli was just not it. In my opinion, the dish just didn't work for me. It's a dish with za'atar pasta, gyros, cherry tomatoes, pickled red onions, crispy chickpeas, dill, nad tzakiki. The warm tzakiki sauce along with the picked red onions and cherry tomatoes ensure the dish eats on the sour side. For me as well, the warm tzakiki was off putting in smell and taste. The pasta was also undercooked and grainy. It wasn't al dente, just undercooked. And with everything, the gyros is kind of lost. Overall, just a really odd dish in terms of conception and execution, and one that I didn't enjoy. Overall, I will be generous and give 3/5. I think service was pretty good, the drinks were delicious, and the price was acceptable. Other dishes, such as the lumache and the salads, looks pretty good as well. But based on what I got today, I cannot recommend the dishes we got at Boombots.

The green sauce was vibrant and fresh and really a balanced the rest of the dish. The tuna empanada like thing was also good. Love the blue corn shell. The sauce had ants in it though which kind of freaked me out, but it did taste good. Although I knew this was a tuna dish, I didn't know what to expect. Kind of wish the tuna was maybe seared or was something different, but I did like the dish. The short ribs were so tender and delicious. The tortillas were fresh and wonderful as well. The tres leches dessert was also really tasty and had the perfect ratio of cake to milk without it all falling apart from being too wet. In terms of drinks, the corn sour and beet spritz were absolutely amazing. The Negroni was good as well but I think I prefer a classic Italian one. Service was good although sometimes I felt like our server was watching us too closely and I felt weird. In addition on two separate occasions, the cooks that brought the food out touched the food on our plates to make it look nicer. I want to trust that they are clean, but in this day and age of new food poisonings happening all the time, and the fact that they had to open the door since we were outside, I just felt kind of gross about it. Nevertheless the food was absolutely delicious and honestly was worth the price for sure. The food here was much better than some top restaurants in nyc for a fraction of the price. Waited 45 minutes as walk in on Friday night around 8 pm and was definitely worth it.

Plus it's a local shop, and I'm all about supporting local, particularly during this time. I pulled up Cask and Craft's website and was super happy to see the list of precautions they are taking to keep their customers safe. Some of these precautions include only 2 people in the shop at a time, use provided hand sanitizer when you enter, and even curbside pick up/delivery. Since I was sitting in front of the store, I figured I'd just go in, get what I needed, and quickly head home. I was greeted and asked to use the hand sanitizer upon entering - yes, thank you. I then explained from a distance that I was looking for a dark beer, preferably a stout. I was escorted to the back of the store and shown the fridge with all the dark beer. WOW! big selection. I had the choice of 6 packs, 4 packs, or mix and match. This was perfect for me because I needed 5 beers. I ended up selecting Jackie O's Java the Stout. When I brought up my 5 pack, the owner told me it was a great beer (one of his favorite dark beers) and that it was a solid choice. He was not wrong. This beer is awesome, and paired so well with my peanut butter cookie pairing. So good. I will definitely be back to Cask and Craft. Their shop is filled with all different types of wine, liquor, and beer. It's organized so nicely, and the shop itself has this comforting vibe when you walk in.
