Ambiance is everything you expect a speakeasy to be. It's dark and intimate. The menu is big with a lot of creative options. Service is extremely friendly!

Bedlam was recommended to us for late night drinks by staff working in one of the restaurants at our hotel. During our short stay in Denver, we went to Bedlam twice. The first time was around 11:30 on a Thursday night. We had a few cocktails along with a cheese and charcuterie plate. The second time was around 12:30 on a Saturday night when we came in for a night cap. The first time we came in, it wasn't too busy, and we were encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The bar was full so we chose a small table. Our server gave us menus, though specials were written on a chalkboard above the bar. We each tired a couple of cocktails and had a shot called the Master Shot. We also chose the make-your-own charcuterie board. Our favorite drink was the Woo Girl, which allowed us to choose our spirit of choice. I chose gin and my friend chose tequila. When we returned a couple of nights later, we knew already we were going to order the Woo Girl cocktail. It was packed on a Saturday night, but there was a small table in back where they seated us. This bar is more for spending time with the friends you come with, rather than mingling, as staff seats you at a table. It doesn't seem like they offer standing room or just squeezing in, though maybe we just didn't experience that. That said, all in all, I really enjoyed Bedlam and recommend it to anyone going to Denver.

It's discreetly marked on the street too, so not a place tourists will just walk by and pop into. The drinks were all so unique and craft, i had the "don't text your ex" and it was delicious!! I wanted to try an espresso martini from their extensive list but didn't have the chance - definitely a reason to come back. They have a good number of servers making their way around so we didn't have to wait long to order more food or ask for the check. We also had the deviled eggs as a little hold over for dinner - so yummy!! Prices are fair too, Definitely will be back.

The entire experience was elevated by the amazing service from Kristi, who was attentive, friendly, and truly made our night special. The bar boasts a super fun goth vibe that's perfect for getting into the Halloween spirit, or just taking a well-deserved break from binging True Blood. While the aesthetic is a bit cleaner than the grungier charm of their previous location (as we've heard), it's still highly stylized with fun signage and great photo ops everywhere you look. Most importantly, the drinks were delicious. They clearly know how to mix a cocktail here. We highly encourage the "666 Shots"--they are fantastic and a perfect fit for the bar's theme! If you're looking for a fun night out with fantastic service and a dark, moody atmosphere, The Devil's Drink is the place. We'll be back soon!

It can be hard not to make espresso martinis bitter, she used Mr. Black liquor in it and it was awesome. This place gives me bookstore speakeasy vibes.

That kind of girl power is hard to find so I felt safe - but you could also tell that for a Wednesday night this place has a community and people know each other. Def check it out!

We were greeted by a welcoming hostess with a great personality who explained the difference between their two bars and helped ensure we were in the right spot. From there, we were seated with Sam. She was happy to give us her recommendations for not just the drinks at the Welton room, but for brunch and other great spots in the area. I mentioned that I had dined at an amazing burger spot in town years earlier but couldn't remember the name, and she went to talk with the rest of the staff and was able to get the information for me! We ordered the Tiramisu Espresso Martini, the Carajillo, the clarified White Russian, the Island Egg Nog, and the B.A.N.A.N.A. Each one knocked it out of the park! We were blown away but the perfect balance of every drink. We were only there for pre dinner drinks but we could smell the food arriving at the neighboring tables and were very tempted to canceling our diner reservation. Overall blew our expectations away and we cannot wait to return!

My husband told them it was my birthday before we arrived so they made me an ube martini. Purple and fantastic! I ordered the tiramisu, my husband got a classic espresso and my best friend got the Dubai chocolate. All of them were beautiful! I think my favorite was the Dubai chocolate. We also ordered appetizers of the burrata and the sweet potato croquette. Burrata is always fantastic! The croquettes were good. They were doing Star Wars themed drinks for May the 4th so Star Wars was playing in a screen (that you could barely see due to the sun). They both got the red velvet espresso martini topped with whipped coffee. It was cute but very sugary. Service was fantastic! The staff was so nice!! Maybe I'm just not used to inflation yet but the prices for everything just felt so expensive!!

Milly's is a cozy little bar that has been noted in Westword's 100 Bars in the past couple of years. I love a place with fantastic decor. I walk out of there wanting to go buy furniture and attempt the same style in my own home. It's very cute, quaint, and comfy. For the pop-up, the theme was Apres-Ski, which is trending heavily right now. The holiday design and decor was perfect for Milly. While they had a holiday drinks menu donned with mulled wine, buttered rums, and egg nog, which is what I ordered, the regular menu Milly offers was also available. This menu consists of several "throwback" cocktails from previous decades. You can't go wrong with a gimlet. Milly's is always busy but the servers are fantastic and are very knowledgeable about all their drinks and are happy to help with drink recommendations based on your preferences. If you're in the area, definitely get a reservation and head here for a drink or two. Milly will take great care of you!

If you're going to heavily advertise a pop-up that only accommodates around 20 people at a time, it makes sense to offer some sort of reservation or time limit system.
