Bedlam was recommended to us for late night drinks by staff working in one of the restaurants at our hotel. During our short stay in Denver, we went to Bedlam twice. The first time was around 11:30 on a Thursday night. We had a few cocktails along with a cheese and charcuterie plate. The second time was around 12:30 on a Saturday night when we came in for a night cap. The first time we came in, it wasn't too busy, and we were encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The bar was full so we chose a small table. Our server gave us menus, though specials were written on a chalkboard above the bar. We each tired a couple of cocktails and had a shot called the Master Shot. We also chose the make-your-own charcuterie board. Our favorite drink was the Woo Girl, which allowed us to choose our spirit of choice. I chose gin and my friend chose tequila. When we returned a couple of nights later, we knew already we were going to order the Woo Girl cocktail. It was packed on a Saturday night, but there was a small table in back where they seated us. This bar is more for spending time with the friends you come with, rather than mingling, as staff seats you at a table. It doesn't seem like they offer standing room or just squeezing in, though maybe we just didn't experience that. That said, all in all, I really enjoyed Bedlam and recommend it to anyone going to Denver.

They aren't overly sweet, especially considering all the fun flavors they have! The espresso flavor came through, and it actually tasted like a well-made cocktail instead of just a sugary coffee drink. It's clear they put thought into getting the flavors right. I've been on a mission to try as many espresso martinis in Denver as I can, and this one is currently at the top of my list. If you're an espresso martini fan, this is definitely one I'd recommend trying. As a plus, the red/dark lighting adds such a fun ambiance and they have pool tables and a newly added vintage Photo Booth! The food is also SO good considering this is a cocktail bar. Don't skip the lobster :) Good service too!! I wish I remembered the name of the server I always have, she's the best!

I was served by a newer employee, Calem N. He was pleasant. I got the Rosita, a cocktail with Reposado Tequila, Campari, dry & sweet vermouth. An explanation on the menu said the drink was created in the 1970's. This cocktail was served in a rocks glass with a large ice cube. Strong but not over the top. After awhile, I got their version of a Ginger Beer. It was made with ginger extract, not ginger syrup since it was not sweet. In many ways, it was like an amaro. They do not play music, but the wood accents inside softened others talking. No service charge. Restrooms are up a short flight of steps.

That's when I came across Dearly Departed and I'm so glad I did. We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and were able to walk in and be seated immediately. The speakeasy is tucked into the underground portion of the restaurant, which adds to the charm. The space is beautifully decorated, moody, intimate, and effortlessly upscale. It truly sets the tone the moment you walk down. We ordered two spritzes and a charcuterie board, and both exceeded expectations. The drinks were refreshing, perfectly balanced, and felt elevated without being overcomplicated. But the real star was the charcuterie board. For $20, it was an incredible value, stacked with a variety of meats, cheeses, fresh veggies, nuts, and peppers. The freshly grilled bread was a standout touch, and the portions were more than generous. Every bite felt thoughtfully curated, and there was something new and delicious in every corner of the board. Between the ambiance, the quality of the drinks, and the impressive food, Dearly Departed delivered an experience that felt both cozy and refined. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere alone. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu.

Fun Fact: They are famous for turning the classic Espresso Martini into a viral art form. Beyond serving standard coffee cocktails, their signature draw is a dedicated Espresso Martini Bar menu featuring outlandish, dessert-inspired creations--including a Whipped Espresso Martini topped with thick dalgona-style whipped coffee, a Dubai Chocolate version with pistachio, and even an Ube Espresso Martini made with vibrant purple yam liqueur. The space itself is designed as a twin-concept lounge: step into one side for modern craft cocktails infused with liquid nitrogen or food-grade perfume vapors at Welton Room, and slide right next door to Monkey Bar for decadent, caffeinated mixology flight boards.

Death & Co is a bar that has been on my list to go to for a very long time. We made our reservation ahead of time, which I would highly recommend you do. I almost didn't do it, but I'm glad I did because it was limited seating still. The inside atmosphere is absolutely amazing elegant, upscale. This is the place to be. We originally sat at a lower table with a large couch and two side chairs. We had a group of six and we fit pretty comfortably. The only error we had was when the waitress was bending down to give us our first round, someone from the table behind bumped her and the tray of drinks went over. Honestly not really her fault and she was very apologetic. It did splash one of my party members, which is why they offered to comp us the drinks and we had to unfortunately move the table because of broken glass. They were fortunately able to get us into another table pretty quickly. It was close to the bar, which wasn't inherently bad. They gave us a fresh round of drinks. The food that came out was all amazing. We ended the meal with their chocolate chip cookies, which were divine. I'm pretty sure they were brown butter chocolate chip cookies because it had that excellent specific flavor you get from browning butter and baking. All in all, this place truly delivers an amazing experience. The wait staff was able to make amazing recommendations on cocktails based on what people's preferences are. The food was truly amazing. If you like good food and great drinks, I would definitely check this place out.
