    **DRINK HERE**We stumbled upon this bar while walking down the street. It had a mysterious but intriguing neon, "cocktails", sign above their basement door. It is located under Larimer Square below street level. Upon walking in we were floored at how cute it was, Its giving Tiki Bar underground, lounge. There were so many cute tucked away places to sit. It had a secret vibe to it. Kind of like a Speakeasy. The bartenders were so nice and cared alot about our satisfaction which you dont get at places like this. The music was seriously ridiculously loud in one section but we had plenty of choices to sit away from the music. The lighting is soo vibey and lounge like with colorful up lighting. You feel like you are inside of a Disney ride. There is a cute little photo booth too. The speciality drink cocktail menu is vast but you can always get whatever drink you want. We didnt order food but they do have late night bites available. The dress is a wide range from totally casual to dressy.

    This place looks fun so we stopped by

    This bar has caught my eye many times as I walked around Laver Street, there's always music bumping, and you can see the neon life leading you downstairs, underground, enticing. I grabbed some dinner next-door and decided to pop in and see what it looks like. The vibe was great, several rooms with the swampy decor and atmosphere, the menu is seasonal, and the cocktails are constantly changing, I can't remember which one I tried, but it was good, I recall it not being exactly what I expected but good. It was a Friday night around eight and was starting to get busy, when I turned around there was 10 people in line at the bar. Seating is plenty full, but since the bar was packed, it was limited, but we were able to rearrange some chairs and make a little space for ourselves. Definitely a good place to stop with friends on the way to something else, maybe not somewhere I'd spend the whole night as the cocktails are a little pricey for that and it starts and noisy, but definitely a smooth vibe

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

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

    I have a weakness for a great whiskey bar. My wallet knows it. My liver knows it. My wife…read moredefinitely knows it. Sometimes I show up hunting for rare pours. Other times I'm just in the mood for a cocktail that reminds me why I don't waste my time at places that think whiskey and cola is "craft." This visit was all about the cocktails, and Seven Grand absolutely delivered. Josh, our bartender, was running the room like a conductor leading an orchestra of happy whiskey drinkers. He asked what we liked, made a couple of recommendations for Old Fashioneds based on our preferences, and absolutely nailed it. Every drink was balanced, flavorful, and dangerously easy to sip. The guy knows his whiskey, knows his cocktails, and somehow still manages to make everyone at the bar feel like they're his only customer. The whiskey selection is enough to make a bourbon nerd lose all sense of financial responsibility, but surprisingly, we escaped without needing to refinance the house. If Josh doesn't own Seven Grand, someone should probably look into fixing that. Until then, I'll keep showing up to "try just one drink"... knowing full well that's a lie I tell myself every single time. Highly recommend. Just don't blame me when two hours mysteriously disappear.

    Loved the selections with 800+ bottles to choose from! Knowledgeable staff and friendly…read moreatmosphere. Great cigar selection too! Definitely will be back.
