ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PRODUCT & SERVICE!!!!…read more Hats off to James & Zack for making the best martini I've ever had in my life and teaching me about Archetype's unique distilling process Dangerously good...the infused vodka is sooo smooth that you can just drink it straight plush no hangover whatsoever with the grape base Highly recommend if you are coming to Vail! Start your night here with a cocktail!

Spring skiing this year in Vail was so warm that our ski time was limited to just the morning so…read moreaprès ski started much earlier than usual. I decided to make a long past due visit to Archetype to check out their distilled spirits. In addition to their vodka and gin, they make a long list of small batch distilled spirits of various flavors. When you walk in there are a few high top tables and a long bar. My recommendation is to sit at the bar and chat with the bartenders. They are knowledgeable and will craft a cocktail based on what your favorite flavor profile is. As my friend C says, "if it's muddled N will drink it!" She's not wrong. She speaks the truth. I told the bartender that a cocktail with either the blackberry or strawberry spirits would be a great start. He mixed strawberry with their mint spirit, added soda, and ice in a tall glass. It was really refreshing. Because they have so many different flavored spirits they can craft almost anything. If you like a dirty martini, they have blue cheese and olive flavored spirits. I tasted the blue cheese spirit separately and it was hmmm...interesting by itself but mixed with the olive spirit and "ta-da!" - you've got your dirty martini. Their vodka and wine are made from wine grapes. I didn't get a chance to try either the vodka or gin this time but will definitely be back on my next ski trip to Vail. The distillery is located just a few doors down from Mountain Standard near the bridge over Gore Creek.

Pullman Distillery is more than just a place to grab a cocktail. There's some fascinating history…read moretucked into this space, and I love when a business incorporates a little storytelling into the experience. Being originally from Chicago, I especially appreciated the Pullman connection. If you're familiar with Chicago's Pullman neighborhood and its railroad history, you'll understand why this caught my attention. The train car itself is worth checking out. Take some time to look at the walls and read about the history rather than just heading straight for a seat. It's such a unique setting for a distillery. Of course, the cocktails are also fantastic. They produce a variety of their own spirits, so there's plenty to explore and try, whether you already know what you like or want to branch out a bit. If you can catch some live music while you're there, even better. Good cocktails, an interesting atmosphere, and a little history mixed in.

Such a gem located on Frisco Main Street! After getting some awesome food over at prosit & hanging…read moreout on the community style tables, walk further into the building and head inside Frisco's first distillery, the Pullman Distillery where the setting feels sophisticated yet casual & cozy. They do flights, cocktails & tasters of a variety of different kinds of spirits. It's unique in that the whole place is set up inside a train car with an open layout. If you feel like exploring you can step outside & see all the cool things within the building. Not wheelchair/stroller accessible as you do need to take a few steps up to go inside. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Open Thursday through Sunday 2-7pm! Looking forward to bringing family and friends to come have a drink and hang out.

We were looking for a hidden gem in Breckenridge and stumbled across the recently opened Canary…read morespeakeasy! I won't divulge how to find this place because that was half the battle and made it worth the wait. We ultimately were gathered in the hotel lobby to take us back to the speakeasy - the welcome drink was a super nice touch! The speakeasy itself is fairly tiny - seats about 30? It felt super swanky and loved all the wood - felt like we were somewhere back in the 30s. The cocktail connoisseur behind the bar, Danny, makes you a custom made drink based your preferences. They can of course make standard drinks but what fun is that? In their menu, they have a list of the most popular liquors (gin, vodka, whiskey, rum, etc.) and then flavors that typically pair with those liquors. For example, I wanted some sort of whiskey sour and asked to make it with peach or ginger flavors. My husband asked for a gin drink with crème de violet and got a delicious play on an Aviation cocktail with aloe and rosemary simple syrup. Overall, a little bit of a hiccup to find it and get in, but the experience was awesome! Was a little scared when there weren't any prices on the menu, but for the overall experience of getting a custom crafted cocktail, it felt worth it. Follow the canary!

Cire, the bartender, was attentive, knowledgeable, fun, and just enjoyable to hang with. Get yourself there.

Stopped into Highside Taphouse in Breckenridge with my girlfriend on a whim because I smelled…read moresmoking meat from the street. Naturally, I assumed brisket. I was wrong. It was Diego's calves. Diego, the operations manager, is built like a man who has never once skipped leg day and apparently runs a strict calf inspection program at the door. Nobody gets into Highside without adequate lower leg development, or inspection. I don't make the rules. Diego does. He examined the situation, measured the meat, and reluctantly allowed us entry. Once inside, things somehow became less normal. The smoked wings were absolutely unbelievable. Crispy, smoky, delicious, and worth whatever bizarre calf based TSA screening Diego is running out front. Then there's Rose. Rose is an outstanding bartender who loves Nickelback with a passion normally reserved for religion, family, and oxygen. Mention Nickelback and her eyes light up. Sing Nickelback at the bar and you have apparently entered into a legally binding friendship with her. So there I was, three beers deep, eating smoked wings, staring respectfully at Diego's magnificent calves, and singing "LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH" with Rose in a Breckenridge taproom while my girlfriend presumably reconsidered several major life decisions. Highside is a magical place. 12/10. Great beer. Great wings. Great beer again. Unreasonable calves. Questionable music but rose is cool. Came for the smoked meat. Stayed because apparently the smoked meat was Diego. Protect his at all costs.

While there were no happy hour specials - they did have a summer special list with Radler on draft. They also had some REALLY interesting mezcal and tequilas.

My husband's dirty martinis were great - except the bartender served with 2 olives! Tsk tsk! Ha. We also tried their black hummus - they tried to explain to me that it was black sesame oil?

The ambiance is amazing it's a very much relaxed but well cleaned up vibe. You walk in and the interior gives distillery but doesn't make it feel claustrophobic either. The subtle Star Wars decor and theme for some of the menu items is a nice touch and appreciated being a Star Wars fan myself. The Wagyu Ribeye was PHENOMENAL. Easily one of the best and most flavorful steaks I've ever had in my entire life. The service was amazing and our server made us feel right and home and had no issues answering any of our MANY questions. The only knock that I have to give to this review is that it is a bit on the pricier side. 8/10

The bar itself is gorgeous, with thoughtful attention to small details. The bar seating against the window rail is incredible and if it's a nice day, you'll find it like we did, with the accordion window panes tucked away. You can't find a better way to spend an afternoon in the city - their craft cocktails are creative and unexpected. The views to pair with that, along with great company - chef's kiss. We ordered a few drinks and soaked in the views. The staff checked on us often and were up to making a few "off menu" drinks - that wowed us. If you aren't seeing what you are looking for, ask for it. I bet you won't be disappointed.

I'm so glad I found this spot while vacationing in Beaver Creek…read more We were looking for a place to grab some appetizers as we weren't that hungry and The Lookout Bar was the perfect spot as they only serve drinks and noshes. The Lookout bar is located in The Westin and on the top floor with stunning views. We were first greeted by the host Hal who couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. I noticed Hal walking through the bar checking on guests and also assisting the servers as needed with drink and food orders. We were seated at the window which had stunning views of the local village and mountain. Our servers John and Augustina were excellent. They never left us waiting for service and continuously checked in on us. We ordered dirty martinis which were served nice and cold. The only negative about the martinis would be the glasses are smaller than what martinis at most other places would be served in so it is simply a smaller serving. However, the wine was a generous pour. For bites, we ordered the Pimento Cheese which was served warm with baguette. So tasty. The beef + blue toasts. This was okay but not our favorite. The burrata salad. Very refreshing and delicious. Since we were not staying at the Weston and had to valet, they were kind enough to validate our ticket. I would definitely recommend stopping in for a drink and experience the beautiful views and delicious drinks and small bites.
