    Korean nachos (is the best way to describe this thing)!
    Rika M.

    I wouldn't have known this distillery unless Yelp organized an Elite event here. This place is more than a hidden gem; what should I call it? Silicon Valley of whiskey making?? Hopefully you understand what I'm trying to say (lol)!! Due to some last minute cancellations, I was reached out by our wonderful Community Manager, Matt a few days before the event. Thanks, Matt, for kindly extending the invitation to me. I, without hesitation, said yes to it. The city of Centennial has a special place in my heart as it boasts diversity in the restaurant scene. And to know that it has one of a kind distillery was a shocking thing to hear. This place is a true Colorado native; from sourcing to distillation, everything is Colorado made. I'm so proud of this place to say the least. Quick and yet very informative distillery tour by Ryan and Mitch was very educational. I've been to several distilleries through Yelp event in the past but this was by far the best one I've ever been to. After the tour, we gathered at the bar and sampled about six different expressions of the spirits they make. Every single one was exquisitely delicious. I personally liked the coffee one and the wine barrel one. Now I know a place to buy a nice bottle of bourbon whiskey. And it's only 10-15 min from my house!! This place also has a variety of merchandise. I found a beautiful blue flannel on the rack which I couldn't resist to buy (it was $48.) Can't wait to wear it for a nice occasion. Thanks Branch & Barrel for opening up your place for us Yelp Elites. Now we have a task to do: to spread the word about your distillery to the rest of Colorado or the country or the world!! And I must not forget to thank Yelp and Matt for organizing this event. Because of you, we are spoiled as hell!!!

    The ambiance was great. The service was ok, you have to go to the bar yo be served. I didn't like that. We did have a pretzel is was great.

    Awesome! Great drinks, interesting flights, and great team out here. They explained the process and the flavors of everything before us. It's always worth a try when you find smaller, chill places like this that have unique takes on oaky spirits. Love the local from 4 Grain to Miel. The aromas and flavors were packed.

    While waiting for my car to be finished from getting detailed I had arrived early. As this area is strictly industrial luckily this establishment was opened and I was able to have a few drinks while waiting for my car to finish. Also Yelp had an event here a few years ago and I enjoyed it then as well. They have a drink that goes towards charity and it was a bit tart but drinkable.

    Definitely the most hidden gem in Centennial. This is distillery is located maybe half a mile from Arapahoe Road. They have limited hours, but they do have a tap room and they do have hours . I have attached a photo just in case but Yelp has been notified. The distillery isn't assuming business building but once you walk in, it's cozy and cool I got a flight enjoyed every variation, but I especially love the honey bourbon. It was not too sweet. It's definitely not a liquor, but it would make a great old fashion. I didn't got a Mai Tai variation that was both different an amazing. My wife got there, Colorado Rita, and it's one of the better ones out there. Line up the hours and come over. It's gonna be a good time.

    Went to a Yelp event here and had a great time! One of the owners gave us a tour of the place and told us all about their values & distilling process. They've made so much of their process sustainable and use high quality ingredients, such as getting their water from the Arapahoe Aquaphor. The bartending staff was also so kind and knowledgeable-- I had an old fashion, which I can be a little snobby about (being from Wisconsin). This didn't disappoint! They're very creative and try new flavors a lot here-- it's worth the trek from the city!

    So many to choose from!
    Chris P.

    Never would have known this place was here without yelp. A true hidden gem. Highly recommend taking a night out there with the guys or the gals or the spouse. Take a tour and learn how they make their incredible Bourbons and whiskeys. I can almost guarantee, you'll end up making a purchase which is exactly what I did. Great people, great business and even a great little pooch there. Say hi to Moose if you're lucky enough to see him!

    Rachel H.

    Yes. I know it's out of the city. Trust me... it is worth it. The number one ingredient is love. Love for the bourbon and love for the employees. As soon as I walked in, I was met with warm smiles and a doggo! 90% of all ingredients are from Colorado. The water is from an arapahoe well and trucked to the distillery. The corn used is human grade made for eating! Passionate. Is the only word to describe the employees at B&B. Follow them on IG for events! Bottling once a month and a tour of the distillery! Colorado made. Family business.

    The Gold Rush Mitch made for us. Amazing!
    Irene M.

    Mitch, Cassie, and Kimber (the dog) showed us the best time at Branch & Barrel. So much so that we returned a couple of days later with the rest of our traveling party! I'll be the first to admit that I'm not a fan of bourbon, but when my partner asked to add this to our itinerary, I thought I'd be open and give it an honest try. While I still don't think a bourbon neat is for me, I think this is a really special spot and a great stop-off when you're passing through Centennial. Mitch and his drinks are thoughtful, fun, adventurous and there's something on their menu for everyone. I had the Campfire Peach Old Fashioned which was smoky, subtle, and smooth, the PB&J Sour which was complicated, a little sweet, and surprising. I also had a taste (or two or three) of the Ube B Baby and I would highly recommend that for someone who usually orders cocktails and likes them on the sweeter side. Great ube flavor and overall really fun. I also rolled for an old fashioned, because where else could you find something unique like that? They have a stunning list of options and I couldn't resist leaving a drink up to fate! I also cannot forget to mention the Gold Rush Mitch made for my partner. That was genuinely one of the BEST drinks I've ever had. Overall, a fantastic place with fantastic hosts, and a true commitment to staying local; I hope to make it back again someday!

    So many choices only four spots to fill for the the flight.
    Joey T.

    The knowledgeable staff are a wealth of information. They ensure your experience is top notch and welcoming. Their whiskey is truly surprising good, competes with all of the legacy distilleries in Kentucky.

    BYO old fashion - Flagship, peach bitters, brown sugar, mint - Flagship, walnut bitters, maple syrup, cherry
    Elise B.

    We LOVE this distillery and their tasting room. They have a rotating seasonal drink menu and a BYO old fashioned menu. Mitch and Cassie run the bar and it's never a disappointment to see their faces! We can't say enough good things about this place and it's a staple for out-of-town guests as a great representation of all that CO has to offer! If you want something local and want a change from beer, come check them out.

    Tasting flight

    Love this hidden gem. We stopped to purchase bottles for home, and so have only done tastings so far, but will be back to try their drink menu and build our own old fashioned.

Despite the current ratings of less than 4 stars, I somehow was determined that this place would not disappoint. And my hunch was right; it didn't. We did make a reservation ahead of time. Upon arriving, we were asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside to which we said inside (for a mid-October evening, the temperature outside was decent and yet we weren't sure about sitting outside the whole time. We made the right call. Occasionally the cool breeze came in from the side door at the bar (as it was left open; they said once closed it locks so it would inconvenience the people out in the open deck area to leisurely come in) and it felt a bit cold to our liking.) Inside was lively. The beautiful modern-looking lounge was filled with all kinds of chitchat by other guests. Our conversation was sometimes canceled by it where we had to talk into our ears but we certainly didn't mind it. Yes, the ambiance is what you come here for. He got the Juicy Bits IPA and I got the French red blend (Grenache and Cote du Rhone). We browsed the food section in the menu. Some looked interesting but we ended up not ordering anything as even though we ate lightly at the first restaurant we were still quite full from it. Our waiter (young male, I believe his name was Payton) was busting his bottom. When he was at our table taking our order he said he was pretty much the only one who was assisting with the guests in the main indoor area. He occasionally got help from his colleague. It appeared to be an understaffed night. We completely understood. Payton, you were pleasant to us; thank you. We truly enjoyed our drinks. FYI - Juicy Bits IPA is not on tap so even though they poured it into a glass the server couldn't pour everything into it so he brought the can as well (btw, it's a 16oz can.) As much as I enjoyed my bold red wine his IPA stole the spotlight at our table. He is a beer guy and he couldn't help but taking a photo of the can for future purposes/purchase. Juicy Bits is a local craft beer made in Greeley. Quite refreshing beer indeed. Well, we sat in our comfy couch for an extended period of time from 6:30 to 9pm. We both stepped outside to the open deck area for a quick view earlier in our dining experience. And we must say that this is one of the best rooftop restaurants we've been to in the Denver area. We shall be back.

For food we tried the potstickers, duck fat fries, the burratta and prosciutto plate, and the lobster ravioli, over all the food was not great and I wouldn't order them again. Food and drink service was fairly slow. The hot chocolate bar felt cheaper then last year and the items listed on the menu were not all present at the bar.

We were immediately sat on the patio around 5:45 PM. We were greeted and given "welcome bubbles". What a nice touch. After about 5 minutes, we were finally given menus. Other people were sat around us, so we waited to ask for the happy hour menu. We ordered the chef's choice charcuterie, a cocktail, and a glass of wine. The drinks and board were yum, but not quite a wine bar as there were very limited option by the glass. Also, we had to ask for plates and silverware where this is a basic item. While deciding on dinner, we were approached a couple times by the 2 servers in the section. One was friendly, the other, not so much, rather indifferent and made us feel a little uncomfortable and not very welcome. This kind of set the tone for the rest of our night. We ordered the "family share" chateaubriand. We realize this is an expensive cut, but the portion is definitely not a sharing cut, around 4 oz. It is closer to a single entree. When it arrived, the plate was cold, like the meat was lukewarm and the cauliflower was ice cold. Again, we had to ask for silverware and plates for this "family style shareable" plate. We brought the cauliflower temperature up with the server and got new cauliflower after we were done with the rest of the meal. Also, I sat with an empty wine glass and no one stopped to ask if I needed another glass. When the servers did stop by, it was a short interaction and we never even had a chance to ask before they were already walking away. We saw so many people come in and out that they must be doing something right, but for us, our experience was mediocre. If our meal would have been the correct temperature (it was well prepared, just cold) and better execution on the service, we may have had a better experience.
