Mile High Spirits has my heart. Not only are the cocktails literally out of this world, but the service-forward hospitality will leave a lasting impact on anyone that walks in that establishment, far after you've left. I've tried a variety of drinks here, but my favorite has got to be the Just My Luck - a fruity and light cocktail made with the Denver Dry Gin. A close second is the "Nut a day keeps the doctor away," which is made with their (delicious) almond tequila. The distillery alone is very impressive, before adding in the immaculate vibes of the space and people who fill it. Everyone who works there is happy to talk to guests about the whiskey distilling process, their go-to cocktails, and the story behind this bar. Note: They have transitioned away from the party scene MHS used to be. No more silent disco, but same spirits - just elevated. I highly reccomend checking out what they've done with the space and how they have encapsulated the amazing spirits into hand crafted cocktails that will blow your mind. read more

Mile High Spirits was home base for the Relay for Rescue (Scavenger Hunt Fundraiser). Even though the venue is big (accommodating for groups), expect it to get loud and BUSY. After checking in, we had time to spare, so we tried to get a bevvie. When it is this busy, it is best to go to the outdoor patio and order from the bar there. The patio is pretty spacious, with comfortable seating areas, complete with fireside cabanas, shaded patio tables (great for summer events) and cornhole (natch!) As MHS is a distillery with tasting room, the only food one will find is the random food truck or two parked at the front entrance. Restrooms are decent (open area that is accessible) but cleanliness is an afterthought here (possibly because it was busy). There is a pool table on site but I did not see any darts or Jenga games. read more

This was my first time at this awesome spot after telling my friends for way too long that I'd finally come--and I'm so glad I did! The laid-back ambiance and great music set the perfect mood, and the drinks are super unique and seriously tasty. We also received a personal tour of the distillery in which it was enjoyable. It also happened to be Annie's last shift, so I'm really glad I came out tonight to experience it while she was still here. I'm sure this won't be my last visit--can't wait to come back! read more

I'm not usually a big cocktail drinker, but the Pirates Booty made by Zach is a dessert in a drink. Truly amazing experience at this great distillery and craft cocktail lounge accompanied by a friendly, passionate staff that has amazing customer service. From the exceptional above and beyond service, the comfortable laid back vibe to the unique and scrumptious drinks, this place has stolen my heart I've been back every weekend since the first time I came to get my fix of the Pirate's Booty and even try some samples on the house of their spirits, showing their generous and engaged hospitality. I even liked the Afternoon Tea when I tried a sip of someone else's, which is served with delicious blueberry scones. read more

We came here because we won tickets to a cocktail making class here and also a bottle of wine and tour of the distillery! Kai did such a phenomenal job and we wanted to give him a huge shout out. The class was so fun and informative. He made it really special for us and our two friends and it was a very special outting for us celebrating! We also got to celebrate the season and just enjoy our time out together. Mike High Spirits is fun and vibrant and always has great music and often like today they had live music! The drinks were perfect and unique and we always come here for a good time whether it's a prize we won or just walking by and visiting on a whim or a planned visit. It's always a delight and I highly recommend not just coming here but planning a tour as well! Please check out my Instagram if you follow along for a full thank you video with more info :) read more

We hosted a whiskey tasting for our board with Mile High Spirits and it was an incredible experience. One of the owners Wyn was our tour guide and did an excellent job - he explained a lot of the science behind making alcohol and answered a ton of questions from the whiskey aficionados in our group. They were very accommodating with letting us cater in food and bring in a live musician. Isaiah was our bartender and our crowd kept him busy making old fashions and specialty cocktails all night. The venue is very urban chic and authentic distillery with a great setup of low and high top tables, and decor. Our group was wowed by the overall experience! We will definitely be back for drinks and look forward to hosting an event with them in the future! read more

Mile High Spirits was a great place for Crystal and I and our two friends to go into for a break from the heat and have a place to hang out together. They have games and fun art to look at and lots of good music from either a dj or live band. They have a hilarious vending machine you need to check out that we bought a couple things from. There are tons of photo ops for you and your friends. The drinks were pretty good deals and had some fun cocktail options. The people were incredibly friendly fun but professional. We definitely look forward to coming back here again soon! Ps this is an age 21 plus place. read more

It's always a fun time at Mile High Spirits. Yesterday was the first day I went when it wasn't a weekend and it looked so different. They have bingo every Thursday from 7-10pm with a DJ and it was popin! They are currently doing a outside pop up bar for the season on the weekends with fun drinks like spiced hot coco, appletinis, pop rocks shots, hot toddies and more! I recommend going if you are wanting to do something fun for the weekend! They do have a cover on the weekends after a certain time but it's worth it! read more

This place is an absolute legend! My buddy hosted a whiskey event and I did not know what we was in for. Our tour guide was absolutely amazing sharing the knowledge and history about alcohol. The live music was so enjoyable, even if your not a whiskey drinker, you can play chemist and make up your own concoction! A Disney Land for adults read more

This distillery has the best cocktail program! Love the local infused liquors, and the creative ingredients and the fun menu. $8 specialty cocktails during happy hour from 4-7 and they are all a double pour. So...after a hearty late lunch we came in to try Mile High. The friendly bartender gave a little spiel and later invited us to peek behind the scenes at the tanks. I really liked the Jack Sparrow, a coconut pineapple rum drink but it was much like many tropical drinks. But I wanted to try to Almond infused tequila in a drink without the espresso, so the bartender made me a spritzer where it was almond forward. Delicious! Husband had a TSL (tequila, strawberry, lemonade) margarita style drink, with one of their white tequilas. It was super tasty, if not very unique. No pictures of drinks or bar, but I would totally recommend! read more

We were doing rounds of distilleries in Denver and had this place actually towards the bottom of our list but wanted to check it out anyway. We were greeted by a group of loud and obnoxious people doing a biking tour but we got our flight and headed outside to try our drinks in peace. We got two flights, one of mostly gin, ad the other with tequila and whisky. The place looks a bit sporty and seems to be a converted warehouse so it's quite spacious and open. There's a turfed area with covered seating areas and fireplaces; and a stage for probably a dj. Sporty inside, tiki bar vibes outside. We were very pleasantly surprised by all of the liquors we tasted and actually ended up buying numerous bottles of gin to take back from our trip. Really underestimated this place and what they had to offer, and disappointed we can't find them in TX. Would like to go back and try some of their cocktails (and get another couple bottles :) ) read more

This is an amazing bar with great staff, very friendly and knowledgeable about the whiskeys they distill. They have a very large bar with lots of games and a huge back patio area with bags and covered seating area. If you haven't checked this out and you love whiskey in Denver this needs to be on your to do list. read more

We did not expect to like this place as much as we did. Don't let the tiki bar facade fool you, this place knows spirits. The gin stood out to us the most, but their whiskies were scrumptious as well. We were so impressed by the gin, we had to buy two bottles of each, and the tequila was so unique, we had to get a bottle for a margarita loving friend. The outdoor space is chill and comfortable. I recommend doing a tasting during the day because this place gets lively at night, but if the party life is what you're looking for, you can spend the evening sipping and dancing on their patio. read more

We went to mile high spirits to celebrate my friend's birthday. It was our first time here and we were not sure what to expect. The staff was rude and incompetent. It was such an awkward experience when ordering at the bar. They forgot our order twice over the course of our time there. We felt very judged and uncomfortable. We will never be going back. Would give negative stars if possible. read more

I loved this place but I also love alcohol so I guess I am extremely biased. We had 3 bourbons. We had the Fireside Single Barrel, Fireside Barrel share and a wheated bourbon. My favorite was the barrel share one. It had a complex flavor to it. I wanted a bottle but they were sold out. My friend thought the single barrel was the best, but they were also out of bottles. I ended up purchasing the wheated bourbon which wasn't bad for $55 dollars. The thing I loved the most about this place was our self proclaimed professional alcoholic server. He was super friendly, and helpful in explaining everything to us. We sat outside in a heated tent and the tables were socially distanced very well. - I would probably say this was one of the highlights of my Denver trip. read more

This local urban distillery remains one of my favorites in Denver. From the high-quality spirits to the incredible craft cocktails, it's always a great time. The knowledgeable staff will help guide you to your new favorite drink, and the indoor and outdoor spaces are open, comfortable, and welcoming. And they always have something happening. Charity events, silent discos, and tours dominate their calendar, so be sure to check out their website. read more

Not friendly to tourist. Quite disappointed. We here for the GABF event and walking around checking out anything and everything related to the art of brewing & distilling. We walked in and no welcome or service or greeting on how service works. Nothing. We felt dumb just standing around so we left as there are many other places to check out. Do NOT recommend. read more

Great place in downtown Denver. Got the recommendation from a friend and happy I stopped by to check it out. They make their own special alcohols which makes the bar very unique! Came on a Saturday night. DJ doesn't come on till 10pm and doesn't get busy till 11pm. Came here for a night of dancing and felt like Mile High Spirits provides it. Very good size dance floor! Nice little outdoor area to cool off or chat with friends. read more

LET ME JUST GIVE YOU 2 WARNINGS: #1- the drinks are REALLY strong #2- i'm a lightweight currently drinking at high elevation. This place is neat in that they infuse their own spirits in all sorts of flavor combinations. Chocolate donut bourbon, caramel vodka, and cinnamon rum are just a few examples. My partner got the BlackBerry mist which was bourbon infused with blackberries. He described it as "sweet and fruit forward, smooth." I had the caramel float which was caramel infused vodka with rootbeer; it sounds just like it was except delicious and strong. I would like to focus on the flight we got of 3 spirits with 3/4 ounce pours. The aged rum had strong notes of vanilla. The peach whiskey had a strong fruit flavor, particularly on the nose. The chocolate donut bourbon was sweet and smooth, almost like a liqueur (or an actual donut). When I tried these, I expected to make a face of disgust but it never came because the flavors of all were so smooth even a baby could drink (DISCLAIMER: giving alcohol to your children is not funny and could result in your children being removed from your care. Please don't do it). Also, i'm writing this while still at this place and I may be feeling the results of their product. Happy Saturday! read more

We came here as a part of a drinking tour of Denver. Since we were a little bit tired of breweries, we set our sights on this place since all the included the words distillery, bourbon, and a cool lounge area. They also have a free tour here which we had to leave my phone number and the tour guide gracefully accommodated us even for being late. The tour is quick and easy. Nothing too adventurous for the modest drinker. You'll see the process of how alcohol is created and stored. But of course the best is the fun to drink the cocktails at the bar. (Which takes a little bit of time because it was a bit crowded on the weekends) When we were here, there was no band playing but a stage was set at the far corner. They have spirits here for sale which we liked. The Fireside peach was a winner for most of us and the cocktails were good, but nothing out of the ordinary. Fun place to come with friends, but do expect a wait. read more

A-OK place for going out in Denver. It was definitely crowded on a Saturday night, shoulder to shoulder, despite how spacious the place is. It's certainly popular among all the cool kids. We visited Mile High Spirits around midnight and stayed 'til it closed, around 2AM. The first section where you enter Mile High Spirits is where the DJ was and everyone dancing. The bar is on the side of the room. The adjacent room is a patio area that was pretty chill, with lawn games and an outdoor bar area. This area was mostly used when people needed to get some fresh air and to take a break from dancing. The crowd was mostly chill. It was a mix of younger and older peeps and some hella dressed up and some in more casual apparel. It felt less douchey here than the other places we visited. Staff was also friendly. For going out in Denver this was a fine spot. read more

Well if you are planning a tour, be careful they start early (not at designated time) and you get left behind. When we inquired, and mentioned we had been waiting, we were told we could catch the next tour, but the staff member was not exactly sure of the time (45-50 minutes later). We asked for a refund and the staff member was surprised we had actually paid. What the heck so you don't have to pay?!? We received our refund. Don't book online. Would not suggest- the wife. read more

Don't come here asking for a shot of Jameson, or any other name brand liquor for that matter, because Mile High Spirits proudly makes all their own whiskey and vodka. Mile High Spirits is located right across the street from Great Divide Brewing Company, so this is a prime bar hopping area people. I already knew what I was going to order because the Yelp reviews and locals applauded this drink: A Cucumber Moscow Mule for the tune of $6. The bartender confirmed that this cocktail was the most popular item on the menu. It was refreshing and smooth, and pushed me into tipsy land. Unfortunately for me, the copper mug my drink was meant to be served in was unavailable and my drink was served in a regular 'ol glass cup. Besides this hiccup, everything was awesome at Mile High Spirits. The cute bartender was on point and even let us sample some blueberry vodka and a spicy pickle vodka. I loved how spacious this distillery was. I could literally run around like a crazy person if I wanted to. The vibe felt trendy and most patrons were in their 20s or 30s. There was a really cool outdoor area with two corn hole set-ups. Most people were actually hanging out in this grassy area enjoying the sun. My group of 3 all enjoyed their cocktails and thought Mile High Spirits was an awesome hangout spot. I would definitely recommend the Cucumber Mule. YELP 100 CHALLENGE 2015: #207 read more

My friends took me here last month and we went back again a couple weeks ago... I was skeptical and didn't want to like it, but there are far more positive things to say than negative. They have great music that people actually dance to; large outdoor space; water cooler is awesome; drinks inside made well/strong (better than outside); shout out to bartender ALEX who was super fun and friendly to us; the entry line can get long at night but typically moves pretty fast. read more

Korey is the man. He took us on a distillery tour, and he made us feel welcomed immediately. He was super knowledgeable on the fermentation process and his barrel knowledge was impressive as well. We ended up buying some bottles to go, great customer service and the drinks oweeeee get ready for some great flavors. My favorite was the old fashioned, the tequilas hit the spot as well. Do not hesitate to go to this establishment. Good people good drinks, keep it simple. read more

If your a person that is looking for cheap drinks and a good DJ this place it for you. If your looking for a distillery tasting room, this is not it. It's truly a bar that makes their own spirits.

My friends and I wanted to stop here for a quick drink before heading to dinner. We sat at the bar and ordered some bourbon. *Fireside Bourbon* They described it as... "Smoky oak and peppery notes result from aging in white American Oak barrels. A true bourbon made from corn, rye and barley that finishes better than the rest." It was definitely good stuff. It was better than some of the more expensive and well aged bourbons that I've drank. Based on the one excellent bourbon that I had, I would be very curious to try their other spirits. Both of my friends bought a bottle of it to take home. They had some sort of concert that was shown on the screen through some live feed, so it was getting a bit on the loud side just as we were leaving for dinner. read more

I stopped in here one Saturday afternoon solely because my liquor preferring friends needed a break from our brewery bar crawl...I am happy I did!! Besides from the huge selection of amazing infused liquors (vodka, tequila, whiskey, moonshine, etc.) The bartender was phenomenal! She had great suggestions based on things we told her we liked and was the perfect amount of attentive but not rushing. Of the different varieties I tried - my favorites were the apple pie moonshine and the pickle vodka! I highly recommend coming here in the afternoon as opposed to the evening because it isn't crowded, there's lots of room to hang, and they even have outlets for those of you who run through your phone batteries too quickly! read more
