    The Devil's Drink recently relocated to 1553 Platte St. and it's such a vibe. Not only are the cocktails just as good as their old location, but now they have food and it's legit. From deviled eggs to oysters to caviar, everything I tried was a hit. My favorite drink of the night was Santa Maria's Last Prayer (tequila + horchata vibes = dangerous in the best way). It legit tasted like horchata and I could have had 19. Their espresso martini variations and other creative cocktails are reason enough to go back again soon. If you're looking for somewhere fun to grab unique cocktails (and now delicious bites), this spot is a must especially for spooky season plus any other season.

    Such a neat concept for a cocktail bar. I absolutely love this place! The best spot in Denver for espresso martinis. Perfect for girls night! I would recommend reserving a table ahead of time, as this spot gets busy quickly and it isn't a large bar. Despite being so busy, drink times were great. The decor is so fitting and I love the dim lighting. Staff is super friendly! The only potential downside is that you can't pay separately- so if you plan to come with a group of friends, they will tell you that they can't split checks. I thought it was a little ridiculous, but we just Venmo/Apple Pay the person who covered the whole check, so not a huge deal. Just something to be aware of before coming with a group!

    The Devil's Drink has new digs! Larger space to accommodate more people. I did like the old place, but I do get the need to expand. They still have the same fun espresso Martini cocktails, the same fantastic bartender. They are moving the decor over with neon signs and transitioning to a holiday theme, since it is December. Service got a little slower as it got busy, since our bartender was also serving until another server arrived.

    Cute bar with decent drinks. I can only speak to the down stairs area, it was nice with lots of pool tables. The biggest thing was because they were busy, it took forever to get our drinks as we joined a big group later. It then took a long time to get our checks, but I'm interested to go back to get a better experience since it was a casual drink situation.

    Made a reservation for Halloween to finally check out The Devil's Drink. We came early, before what I am assuming was a rush. First the hostess was so nice it was such a nice welcome. Our server was just ok, he did send me the wrong drink at one point and didn't put an order for a bite that I had ordered and wasn't the friendliest at first. The drinks were good. But, the bites by Naughty Cooking Co. were amazing!! I wish I got a pic of the white fish crudo before I devoured it but it was beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The tempura artichokes were amazing as well. I will def be coming back for the bites for sure! Overall I loved the red lighting and the vibe. I look forward to trying it again.

    I have had 4 different flavors of espresso martinis from here and every one of them have been absolutely delicious! The atmosphere is so cool and spooky, and the staff are awesome.

    Cool vibes, the smell is off putting upon entering. The bathroom was cute, but the sink hardware was loose. They had a room of 4 pool tables. Staff was friendly and the espresso martinis were to die for. Only downside of them was so much whip cream! But if you like that, it's a must. They were some of the best!

    Cool bar and loved the Christmas decorations! Lots of options for espresso martinis which I thought was fun. The cookies and cream espresso martini and the tiramisu espresso martini were both good. I liked the cookies and cream one more. The tiramisu one didn't really taste like tiramisu. It was perfectly cold though. I also tried the peppermint hot chocolate. Wish it was hotter and that there was more peppermint flavor because I couldn't taste any. We got there on Saturday night probably around 9:30. It was super crowded inside and tables were all reserved but we were able to stand around at the bar and that was fine. I liked the concept and considering how busy it was the service was fast. Wasn't mind blown by the drinks.

    Gotta love a theme. This is a fantastic bar near the Highlands in Denver. Tiny place that may only seat about 25, but can be great for bigger parties if you let them know ahead of time. They are known for their espresso martinis and the variety of names they have come up with based on the masterpiece concoctions is what makes this place unique. I tried the "Killing me Smalls" espresso martini - an homage to The Sandlot and summer smores - quite tasty! I also tried the "But Is It Made With Real Girl Scouts," Wednesday Addams would be proud. Both were made with great detail from the amazing bartender, Michelle. There is a reason this was listed on Westword's 100 Bars for 2025. I have to say this was one of the more enjoyable bars in Denver.

    First time at this location and it did not disappoint! The lights inside were festive for the holiday season and we were immediately greeted and brought to our table. It was busy but our drinks came out fairly fast. The food menu seems pretty good- we had the potatoes and the sauce was light and flavorful. I will be back.

    Loved the Lilith in white lace and corset in a coffin!! So good and great service. Definitely recommend for a pre dinner drink or a fun evening date spot. Check it out

    Our group of five stopped here on a Friday night and it was fairly quiet, but it's in an off the beaten path location so maybe that's why. The vibe is definitely not something I'm super into but I imagine it appeals to others (dark interior, club-like lighting, random posh coffin for photo ops and death paraphernalia everywhere like skulls). The servers were all very kind and attentive with us and we were served fairly quickly. Reading the reviews after I had been there, we probably should've tried a specialty cocktail. We all ordered off the happy hour menu which was a little pricey for happy hour and didn't have any stellar sounding cocktails - three of us got old fashioneds which were solid but nothing memorable. For our group size, they had a nice booth seating under a sign reading "dance with the devil in the pale moonlight".

    I'm a little late giving this review. We had a hell of good time at the Devil's Drink on Halloween! The whole vibe was spot-on spooky fun without trying too hard. One of the highlights was the Nightfall Interviews--so engaging and perfectly timed to keep things lively without dragging on. The servers were fantastic, attentive, and added to the experience. This is a great spot for a couples or a group of four to catch a drink together. Probably a little tough for any groups larger than that. The drinks were the real stars, though! The espresso martinis were worth every penny at $16--absolutely delicious and well-crafted. We got a kick out of the $6.66 shots on the menu and, of course, ordered a round. The flat-rate pricing made the choices easy and added to the no-hassle, chill atmosphere. All in all, a great Halloween night out with just the right mix of creepy, funny, and cozy. Can't wait to come back on a normal evening, especially with their new seasonal themed espresso martinis menu. Other notes: it's easy to find and parking wasn't a problem at all. Love this part of town.

    I don't see a food menu on the website. But have seen info that food is served. Is there a menu anywhere? Is food served daily?

    It's just bar food. I think they have popcorn, chips, charcuterie, and deviled eggs. You wouldn't be able to get a full sit down meal here. Just for drinks and they have pool tables.

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.

    Great cocktail bar with a few unique menu items…read more Came in on a trivia night and staff was nice albeit a bit slow. My friends and I tried a number of the signature cocktails and had a few hot toddys that were super good. I'm personally a big gin and soda fan and loved ther housemade tonic that was in their classic G&T. Did not try any of the food but the dawgs were definitely would be tempting if I was hungry. Loved the decor and the plants all up in the space. The space is a bit more dimly lit and I think of a reasonable volume for a date. Would love to come back and spend some more time here.

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.

Laid back vibe and welcoming staff. Nothing pretentious at all. The bartenders were knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. Always stayed on top of my drinks. The thing I like most about Death & Co is the way the categorize their drinks: Light and playful, bright and confident, elegant and timeless, boozy and honest, and rich and comforting. I had the aqua profunda (cognac, St. George basil eau di vie, lillet rose, strawberry, lime, and absinthe). I also had the eight limb daiquiri (rum, Canada aguardiente, Thai tea cordial, lime leaf, and Maraschino). The Blood Oath (mezcal, Vecchio del capo, Calabrian chili amaro, St. Germain Elderflower, lavender, honey, lemon). All were complex and delicious. You could pick out every flavor, yet everything melded together so well. They also have some basic bar food and snacks, but somewhat elevated. I had the D&C Burger and it was juicy, rich, and had some great accompanying fries. I usually try to give a more in depth idea of cocktails available, but Death & Co has such a diverse menu with so many amazing craft cocktails that I can't offer that this time . . . you'll have to go in and see it for yourself!

It is unique and they do a good job blending both together to create some really good food and drinks. I selected three tacos to enjoy. Two pastor tacos and campechano. All were really good. The pastor was well seasoned and tender. The campechano was a first for me, and I am glad I tried it. Campechano is a mix, as the word describes, of beef and chorizo. This was the standout of the meal! I also tried the dumplings de barbacoa which were also excellent. Spicy, but really good. This was a really good fusion menu item. The tacos are all made by the taco truck set up outside of Malinche. You can actually get tacos from the truck without going into Malinche if you so desire or if there is no seating. (Speaking of, make reservations! Malinche has limited space/seating). The decor is very unique and is really pretty to look at. The audiobar portion of the bar's name is fun as well. The audiobar rotates through all the genres of music that exists from all the music decades you can think of. A fun time for sure. Will absolutely be back for another Happy Hour!
