Dirty Laundry was a fun stop. They've got great craft cocktails, all with fun names and the loaded hot dog we shared was amaze balls. We sat at the bar, of course, and the staff were laid back while also friendly and fast. Trifecta. Definitely need to return for round two! read more

Warning: NO KIDS ALLOWED. These grandparents wanted to take their 10 yr old granddaughter for pretzel bites she wanted. It was about 5:00... not too late, place was empty. Was greeted at door with a "No kids allowed" announcement. I thought he was kidding. Nope. No kids allowed in a place that's in a family friendly area. Won't be back... even without kids read more

Potentially my new favorite neighborhood bar? I went here after dinner for a date night with my partner and every cocktail we had was absolutely amazing. Shout out to Derek who made our cocktails and was overall a great bartender. We loved the vibe inside the bar and loved that it had an extensive list of cocktails, beer, wine and, whiskey. We will definitely be back as we had a fantastic experience. read more

My husband and I stopped in after dinner near by to get a few (ok 7 between us) drinks, there were so many drinks on the menu we had to try! All the drinks were really fresh and fun! Our bartender Alex was awesome! I have to give them a shoutout for excellent service! We came on a Wednesday night a few hrs before closing and it was quite chill, which we enjoyed. It was nice to have the summer air wafting in from the large outdoor bar window as well. Overall we loved it here and will def be going back! My fav drink of all was "shine bright like a diamond" read more

A very cute cocktail bar! I went with a few people and we all got drinks, and everyone really enjoyed their orders. We also got nachos and the pretzel and cheese to share, and the food was great! The beer cheese was one of the best I've ever tried. The nachos were loaded with toppings, and there was plenty of meat and cheese, it was also a huge portion -- all three of us ate our fill. The service was fast and very kind, and we really enjoyed our time! Will be coming back for sure. read more

Great cocktails that are inventive. Vibe is fun. I do wish they had a happy hour and opened earlier - at least on the weekend!

Dirty Laundry is a solid friendly bar that serves great cocktails in an unpretentious atmosphere. They have an incredibly well stocked bar....I mean I love bourbons and they had an all star list plenty of the buffalo trace brands, yatta yatta yatta. Their Ol' Dirty b. fashioned was excellent...it don't hurt that they start with single barrel EC I love this place and will be back. read more

Stopped in last night with the girls to catch up and get a drink. This place is cute with seating inside and out. The bar tender was super friendly and fun! We ordered some drinks, mine was "berry basic bitch" which was yummy, and the gals ordered a Mezcal drink that they said they liked. We also ordered some pretzel bites that were tasty. Glad this place is so close to home, I think it'll be a regular spot for us! read more

Dirty Laundry - Berry Basic Bitch - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Weird place. Really weird. Cocktail bar? Night club? Very dark with some club lighting swirling around with weird 2000s era overplayed alternative crap music playing. Pretty pretentious vibe for having a hot dog on the menu, yet here I am giving it five stars. Why? Because as weird as Dirty Laundry is, it wasn't BAD. I just figure it's not my cup of tea and that's not their problem. It says "VODKA IS FOR VIRGINS" on the drink fridge. What does that even mean? When we went, it was late on a Sunday because we were laying over in Denver and I wanted a cocktail. Thankfully they're open until midnight on Sundays, but there was only one dude working the entire place. ONE dude making fancy-ass cocktails AND making food. He was a nice dude though. Puttin' in the work. Our cocktails were fine. I almost felt bad not caring about bourbon as much as the owner apparently does, but alas. I appreciated my manhattan. The aforementioned hot dog (Chicago Dog) was delicious and we also got buffalo chicken dip, which was $16...? Wasn't really sure what that price was about. It was tasty but there was a smoky element to it that made it also taste like hot dogs. Good, but not great. It's worth a stop just...leave your expectations at the door. No one's asking me, but their food could be way better. With the extent of the cocktail and bourbon/whisky curation...fancier snacks are almost expected. Even though I'm supposed to leave my expectations at the door. read more

Good drinks, fun vibe, good service. My only issue is that it's located far too out of the way for regular enjoyment. I hope the neighborhood it's in keeps it hopping so that those of us that live further away can still drop in on occasion. read more

Dirty Laundry - Sweet signage - A neon sign displays 'DIRTY laundry' on a dark wall, with purple and yellow lighting. Plants are positioned below the sign, and a vending machine is visible on the right. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I went in with a friend they were playing good music, so we were happy it quickly went left once I tried to order drinks from the bar. Only three people were at the bar when my friend and I arrived. I went up to order a drink, and the bartender did not acknowledge me and continued his conversation. It took almost 10 minutes to get drinks when the bar was empty, besides the three other people. Both my friend and I felt unwanted and disrespected. He was sarcastic and snappy. This place seems to have potential, but whoever the male bartender that works Tuesday nights needs an attitude check. I will say they have a pretty interesting drink menu with quite a few different spirits and craft beers. I was excited to find a spot with great music and drinks, but I probably will never be back. read more

Came here the other night and ordered the mezcal drink off the menu and it was fantastic. Ive been here a few times and never been dissatisfied with the drinks or the staff. Fun little corner bar with a very creative cocktail program. read more

Dirty Laundry - a shelf of liquor bottles - Shelves filled with a variety of liquor bottles, including whiskey, vodka, and other spirits, in a bar or lounge environment. - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Let's be honest, there's not a lot of places where you can order a creative cocktail and enjoy a consistent experience in Central Park/Stapleton. There's just not. At least, I haven't found it. We happened upon this spot and have been a few times. The first striking thing is the ambiance. Sure, there are neon lights and TVs airing sports but it's the 80's nostalgia that did it for me. Their menu includes like 18 cocktails on the menu of which 6, yes six, are clarified. I am a cocktail snob and I can't tell you of any bar that does more than one (that's a milk punch) let alone 6. Drinks are $10-$14 which is fair considering the ingredients used. They also have a pretty great selection of spirits behind the bar. Fun shots like the oatmeal cookie (delicious), spiceballs (their riff on fireball), and starburst (think boozy red) exist for $3-$9. My favorite aspect is that I can get a can of Old Style here. I've yet to order any food because I've always eaten before stopping into Dirty Laundry but I feel like it has potential based on the menu. Service isn't quick even if it's fairly empty but I think it's par with any bar. M Bonus - there's ample parking. Though, you should take ride share if you're gonna drink. ;) Moral of the story - stop in. read more

This place has ALL the vibes. It's as if a dive bar and an upscale cocktail bar met. The entire time they were playing the best music and I loved the dimmed environment and lights. Drinks were hands down some of the best we have had. My first drink was the Fits like a Clove, I cannot recommend this enough. This place is a pure hidden gem! Will definitely be back. read more

The cocktails are pretty good. It is a nice place. It looks like they could make hundreds of different cocktails by looking at what all is in behind the bar, but their cocktail menu is pretty small in my opinion. I do like the place and I will go again read more

Stopped in the Dirty Laundry before heading home. It was interesting when we walked in, wasn't sure what to expect. There was indoor and outdoor seating, loud (not obnoxious) music playing, so we sat at the bar and looked over the drinks. Ordered some drinks off the signature cocktail menu, as well as the pretzel, and some popcorn with fresh sliced jalapeños. We have had a lot of drinks at several places since we've been to Denver.... But these were FABULOUS drinks!! The pretzel and popcorn were the perfect snacks... But those drinks were definitely worth the stop! Check out their amazing drink list... So much to choose from... Prepare to stay a while! (and get an uber!) read more

Awesome ambience and attentive service even when it was complete madness around us. The drink list was overwhelming but worth it as the selections ranged with such a wanderlust vibe. it's hard to go wrong though.

Dirty Laundry - Steeped In Dreams - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Our favorite neighborhood bar! I have not a single bad thing to say about Dirty Laundry, and their Gimlet is one of my favorite drinks on the planet. I also love their warm pretzel bits with the cheese that I call "crack". Something about a sweet drink with warm salty pretzels. AM A FAN! Patio is dog friendly for our giant Newfoundland. We have always had great service and are in weekly. They are closed this week (planned - review below is just not true) and we are bummed, as we haven't missed a week here since we moved to the area last March. Looking forward to my Gimlet fix next week. read more

This might be my favorite bar ever, it is at least my favorite in Denver. We were visiting Denver and my buddy challenged me to find a bourbon bar close to the hotel. I found Dirty Laundry. It isn't exactly a bourbon bar but an everything you could want bar. The list of whiskeys was enormous but they had some of everything else under the sun too. I'm an Aquavit fan and that is a rare find in the wild. I usually have to special order it from my local store but here they didn't just have it, they had an aquavit section on the menu! Heaven! Dirty Laundry has a real neighborhood feel that makes me wish I lived nearby. It doesn't seem like a loud hook up spot or party place, it's more of a place you go to hang out with friends. I guess in terms of vibes I would compare it to cheers. Everyone if friendly and it feels a little like being home. If I did live close by I would make myself the Norm of that place. The decore is something else. Whoever put this place together and I had the exact same child hood. there was a Comic Book art piece on the wall (it was DC and I'm Marvel, but I'm not hating. To each their own) and then I spotted the Boba Fett Lego helmet of the shelf and above that the full (and rare) complete Ewok village place set mixed in with the bottles of whiskey. I begged for that thing as a kid and never got it but here some hero had one and is displaying it proudly amongst their epic collection of booze. Then there is more and more cool stuff everywhere you look. I love this place. read more

Great neighborhood bar. Always friendly service and a great bourbon list. Definitely recommend this spot.

This place has the best cocktails I've had in ages at prices that are a legitimate steal. The ambience is dark and low-key, which I love. The cocktails, of which there are many, are thoughtful, inventive, and well-considered, and if there's something you love--or one you didn't get to try--you can take them freshly canned to-go. (Meaning, they make the cocktail fresh when you order, and use a canning machine to send you on your way). In a sea of watery Moscow Mules and oversweet Negronis, what a breath of fresh air to have new, flavorful, and exciting cocktails to choose from. Each cocktail has something special about it. A garnish, an unusual ingredient (or several), a flavor profile you would never have thought of, but that totally works. Peanut butter and rosemary? You have to try it! And the pretzel bites and Chicago dog were delicious and kept us from completely falling off the edge of sobriety. (Fellow patrons may disagree on the latter point.) The service is expert, friendly, and attentive. Basically, this place is a gem. Relaxed and comfortable with cocktails that wouldn't be out of place in the highest-end cocktail lounges with snootier attitudes. (Tip: If you like something a little bitter, try the Gentle Touches. Just a really well-balanced, perfect cocktail that should be a new classic.) Do not miss Dirty Laundry. You'll have a great time. read more

Cool vibe, good music, way overpriced on most drinks. Soggy nachos, you just can't put wet stuff on crispy chips? Prices charged at bar do not match the confusing menu. When at bar for second round (table service for all but our group). We were ignored, period. You lost the extra business from a group of about 25 for all appearances was due to you didn't want to deal with our "kind." read more

Let's be honest, no one comes here for the food. And no one should, because it's gross. It's also not why I came here. I came for the drinks, and they did deliver. But since they had food on the menu and I happened to be in need I figured why not, limited menu, can't be bad. Ordered the pretzel bites and Chicago dog. The pretzel bites may have been the most unappetizing thing I've eaten all year. The cheese sauce was literally milk... and the pretzel was stale AF. I'm embarrassed I ate as much of it as I did, but like I said, I was in need. 3 stars may be too kind - that cheese sauce is criminal... read more

Dirty Laundry - The "cheese sauce" - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My co workers and I picked Dirty Laundry to catch up since the pandemic. Although we came here after work (especially happy hour), they didn't have any happy hour specific specials. Their drinks are categorized by type of alcohol (whiskey, vodka, beer) with so many options that we all needed a second to go through their menu. My Midwest co workers really appreciated the potato chips offered on their food menu, since that brand holds a special place in their heart. I also appreciated that their food options were comfort food (e.g. meat +cheese, buffalo chicken dip). If you ever need a bar to host a large group, Dirty Laundry fits the bill with its huge drink list and comforting bar snacks! read more

This bar is exactly what the neighborhood formerly known as Stapleton needed! It's getting to be the kind of place where everybody knows your name. I've made several new friends here. It's a very friendly place. They have a very nice selection of beers. I like Double IPAs and they have handful of really nice ones to choose from. Parking is easy, and the snacks are tasty. Try the pretzel with cheese dip. The staff is terrific. You'll learn their names - Sean, Aubrey, and Jeff. read more
