    Old Fashioned & Custom Drink from our bartender
    Dennis X.

    I came here with cousin after Summer Dog Days and really enjoyed it! You have to go down the stairs to get to the bar and it's super dark inside (very speakeasy-vibes). The interior decor is awesome though, lots of tall and cool-looking exotic plants. And the bathroom (very clean btw) is easy to miss but keep an eye on the red carpet and it'll take you there. When we got to the bartender, she let us know that the rotating menu was just about to get swapped out. My cousin ordered one, and then I told her to surprise me. I wanted something with absinthe. Our drinks were absolutely delicious, and although we came during the afternoon, I can totally see it being a popping vibe in the evening.

    Emerald Eye is a cute cocktail bar located in Larimer Square. You take a staircase down to this cool and sleek spot. Its motif is an eye and can be found all over. I ordered a Mangonada and it was delicious. The bartender was nice and vibe was great. Loved the quick drink here for their happy hour.

    We came in between Christmas and New Year's on a Friday night. So the crowd was thin. They had one of the rooms shut off. So it was a small venue on this night. We ended up paying for the little booth photos twice and we didn't fully fit in the frame of the photos so they were probably the worst photos we've taken in a booth, our entire relationship, but funny nonetheless. One of the bartenders was pretty legalistic and wanted to be a little snarky about ordering at the bar where to sit what we could and could not do. Another bartender actually took our order and opened our tab. We sat down and checked out the crowd. The music was great. We enjoyed the vibe. The cocktails were delicious. No complaints There. The door guy was very hospitable. I would go back. I'll probably try it after the holidays.

    Our server was very fun, he did some flipping of bottles and talked about the methods behind the art, and was very steadfast about the issues that he had. I loved the interior, with its jungle feel. My favorite drink was the clarified punch, which our bar tender nicely explained the background of, and the flavor was great. Highly recommend.

    Cute cocktail bar! Came here after dinner on a girls night and it was so cozy and vibey. The bartenders were very friendly and helpful. If you like an espresso martini or a cold brew and want a drink with a similar taste but with a little twist to it, I would definitely recommend the Carajillo. It is very good and will hit all of the tastebuds.

    We were wandering down Larimer street and we were planning to grab a Lyft at the end of the road. Before we ordered it, we saw a red neon sign that read "cocktail lounge". We headed towards it and decided to walk down the stairway with the mint green painted walls. I'm so glad we did. I had the clarified punch and it was one of the best cocktails I've had recently. So delicious. The other cocktail we tried was also good even thought I don't like mescal as much as other spirits, it was still well balanced. My partner said he enjoyed it. Service was attentive and swift. This place had a really chill, tropical vibe with beautiful mood lighting. I very much enjoyed relaxing over a delicious drink in the Emerald Eye lounge and will definitely go back to try other cocktails next time we are in Denver.

    This place was very dark, I could barely find my ID to show the bouncer. The staff seemed nice and helpful when we were looking for a place to sit. For the first round we did a Prosecco and an old fashioned. Prices were on the cheaper side for a cocktail bar ($25 total) and I would say the quality matched. The second round I switched from Prosecco to a mocktail. I appreciated the options they had for that as some places don't have any on the menu. We might go back. I like the location and its proximity to sports venues / restaurants

    A new (to me) fav cocktail bar! Underground and located inside a former prohibition bar, this place is such a good spot for a date or girls night. Great music and drinks. Bartenders were amazing too! I will definitely be back

    We found this place while waiting to eat next door, it is a cute little speakeasy vibe. We were greeted immediately when we walked in with a friendly bartender. The vibe in the bar is really cute and welcoming. Reminds me of a jungle room. We were lucky enough to be here for happy hour. Their drinks were fast and delicious. If you are looking for something chill with a fun cozy vibe and good drinks then this is your place. We will be back.

    Hidden gem! This place is so cool - their drinks are top notch, such a great variety of cocktails. We loved our drinks, so good. Our friends joined us later and they got the mangonadas and that was so good too. Service was great! Ambiance is lovely and I highly recommend.

    Fun, cozy, intimate place to have a cocktail. Friendly bartender/mixologist. Fabulous cocktails... happened upon it while waiting for a table at the brewhouse next store!

    Love their cocktails! They are always crafted to perfection by their expert bartenders. My partner and I had fun tiki drinks. Feels like you are in tropical destination with the greenery and chill music.

    Started our night off here and wished we could have stayed longer! This place has such a cool feel, the dark tiki aesthetic with the jungle vibes is on point. Staff was quick to greet us, attentive and happy to offer suggestions. The cocktails we ordered were amazing - very flavorful and perfect for sipping. Definitely worth checking out!

    Why did I pay $16 for a gin and tonic when the tonic came from a soda gun?? You pay for the decor and the location I guess.

    The ambience in this place is perfect, it's dark and moody and has a 1950's Jungle feel.

Their focus is on unique, hand-crafted cocktails and globally inspired bites. Named for its elevation of 5,430 feet, 54thirty Rooftop Bar in Denver is at a whole new level. After 6pm, entry is restricted to guests 21 and over. The rooftop views are amazing, it is a great spot to relax, especially around sunset. The vibe is lively but still comfortable enough to enjoy a conversation. There is plenty of seating but it was crowded when we arrived but we were able to find some seats close to a fire pit to stay warm. They offer a menu of shareable bites with a global spin. We ordered the chips and guacamole made with avocado and fresh made tortilla chips. We split the braised short rib tacos with avocado, cojita and radish that came with three tacos per order. The steak tacos were very tender and plentiful with toppings. We also tried a variety of cocktails from their bar. Their winter drink menu that highlights warm and spiced cocktails, a curated wine bottle list, and a spectrum of Denver's favorite craft beers. I tried the mezcal hot chocolate that was served with toasted marshmallows on top. Also tried a peach mocktail and asked them to add mezcal. Both cocktails were elevated and hand crafted. Other people in my party tried the Elevated Old Fashioned with Brush creek strait bourbon, angostura amaro, dry curacao, honey. Service was friendly and efficient, and everything came out quickly. It's a great spot for drinks with a view, light bites, or for a fun night on the town.

I still wish they'd bring it back onto the happy hour menu! The staff makes the experience even better. Sam and Joshua are fantastic bartenders - friendly, welcoming, and genuinely great at what they do. They make the bar feel like a place you want to return to again and again. And if you're a whiskey fan, their Whiskey Wednesday events are always a blast. You can learn something new, try something interesting, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. Seven Grand delivers on all fronts: great drinks, great people, and a great location. Highly recommended!
