I emailed Don about scheduling the tour, and he was super flexible, as well as responsive. We learned so much on the tour about how the operations work. I love their commitment to staying as local as possible. Don is obviously very passionate and super knowledgeable. Plus the drinks! I had an old fashioned, which really let their bourbon shine. They also have mocktails, so that was a nice option for our DDs. The tasting room is small but very comfortably appointed, and we loved the local art displayed. Highly highly recommend- what a great experience! We will be back for events for sure.

They do tours and tastings, but we usually choose from their great variety of cocktails. They have a rotating specials list and I've had some of the best cocktails from their many different concoctions. We love coming here for the casual, laid back vibe and pinball! They have about 10 different machines and change up every so often. They also have a big bookcase of what seems like every game you can imagine. We haven't played any of those because we come for the pinball, but a cool spot to relax with a drink and play some games with your group. There's plenty of seating with a variety of tables for small to large groups. They have standing pub tables and a lounge area with a comfy couch as well as some outdoor seating on their back patio. They also serve food and have daily specials. We're a big fan of the sidewinder fries. The bartenders are great - attentive, friendly, and prompt with their service. We Mad Rabbit. *only thing I would ding is that their pinball machines often need some service

We asked the bartender to surprise us with the next round of drinks. Each drink was expertly balanced, with the Strawberry Pupsour being my favorite. All cocktails are crafted with Spirit Hound liquor, resulting in bright, flavorful drinks that range from light to sweet. We visited on a Friday and caught their stand-up comedy night! They also host game nights, cocktail classes, clothing swaps, and more.

They had a wide variety of choice for their drinks. I believe that they make all of their own alcohol on site. The service was very good, I was impressed by the kindness and knowledge of the drink menu that they had. I tried a few items off the menu. I had the chips and salsa which were very good. I believe the chips and salsa were made by the food truck that is outside. The Mac and cheese was good but a little overwhelming with the thickness and amount of cheese sauce put on it. The chicken wings were very good, well cooked with great crisp on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. My favorite item were the sliders though. Both styles were really good and for $5 each it is a great value. I enjoyed my experience at Rocket Spirits and will be back to try more of their food and drinks.

This space creates a magical moment for a couple's date night, girls' gathering, happy hour with your coworkers and so on. It was an occasion for me and my adult daughter just yesterday. She and I get together as a family which we traditionally do almost monthly to celebrate "us" and we were glad that we chose the Family Jones Spirit House for the very occasion as there was no element that disappointed us. Ambiance: The sleekness that is common when described as "chic", the high-end design is well-incorporated into the space throughout. Despite its way of being high-end contemporary however, the place emits a very inviting cozy feel. The whole place is enhanced by the soft lighting. Overall, the whole place has an elegant image of "cocktail lounge". Drinks and bites (on the menu): They have great ideas to concoct unique cocktails using their current lineup of whiskey/bourbon/gin/vodka. We could easily go for something typical such as wine but we were like "Why would we want to do that at a place like Family Jones?" We started out with one of the Espresso Martinis (Cinnamon Bun) and Early Grey Negroni. After a good few to several bites (House Salad which was a good portion; simple and yet refreshing, Spicy Herb & Cheese; its spiciness was well-manageable, Antipasto Plate was also generously portioned with healthy choices), we concluded our night by another drink, which was Lohi Rising (absolutely an excellently made cocktail out of the whole menu). Most of the items we ordered were discounted by $1 or $2 due to the fact that we were able to order in before the Happy Hour end time of 6pm. Even with the regular pricings, however, the menu items are reasonably priced. I forgot our waitstaff's name but she was able to assist us with great suggestions when we asked her which ones to order especially the drinks. She was the only person who was mostly walking around the whole dining area (the other staff was mainly in charge of the bar but he once came out and asked me if I needed anything before my daughter's arrival.) Not to mention: the hardworking kitchen staff who prepared our dishes should not be forgotten for all the amazing chef skills. Denver's LoHi neighborhood hosts a good number of contemporary restaurants. Other big names might overshadow this cocktail lounge/restaurant but despite the overwhelming elements, Family Jones Spirits House's position to quietly serve as a humble restaurant is worth a mention. So if you are looking for a special place for a special occasion, go here. You will be pleasantly surprised with what they offer you.

The Spirit House is where they create and refine their spirits and cocktails, and the attention to detail really shows in the drinks. We tried several from their winter menu and each one was interesting and well balanced. Standouts included the LoHi Rising, which had Earl Grey and citrus notes with a creamy foam, and the Après-Pear Marg, which combined tequila, rum, and spiced pear in a really smooth way. The Salt & Vinegar Martini was also memorable and came with a pickled potato that made it even more fun. The Alpine Glow was lighter and refreshing with hibiscus and citrus. We also ordered some food to go with the drinks. The grilled cheese with soup and the pretzel bites were perfect for a cold winter day and paired nicely with the cocktails. If you enjoy thoughtful cocktails and a relaxed atmosphere, The Family Jones Spirit House is always worth a visit.
