    This was my first time visiting The Local Drive and I was blown away! I had a great time hitting the "Virtual Links" lol with a few friends. When I stepped into the bar I was really impressed by the stylish modern looks. It's really well designed and I felt like I was in a upscale cocktail bar that happened to have huge golf simulators! After checking out the menu we ended up ordering a She's gone & Old Cuban both drinks were delicious! The Shes gone was really unique a mix of Rye, ginger liqueur, red wine, honey and lemon. I had to slow myself down multiple times from drinking it to fast because it was so refreshing! Having been blown away by the prices of craft cocktails in other RINO bars I was really happy with the affordable prices here, I easily got my moneys worth! I could definitely see myself coming back here to just hang out and catch a game on one of the half dozen big screen TVs they have. Now to the really fun part! Those massive golf simulators! We played on a huge 16x9 foot screen! The clarity of the screen was impressive and the technology is top notch, during the whole hour plus we never ran into any issues and it was a smooth user friendly experience. We played a few of the games and sampled some of the 1,000 plus real golf courses and it was fun times all around! We had a mix of skill levels and I felt like everyone was able to really enjoy themselves. All and all a really fun new addition to the city. I'm someone who loves an activity while I drink so this was right up my alley. Last but not least the staff here were all nice and accommodating I definitely felt really welcome while I was there. Can't wait to come back and play a few more rounds!

    Best golf simulator bar in Denver! The location is amazing and allows you to start or end your evening in Rhino. Trackman simulators with two bays that are ideal for larger parties. Eclectic beer and spirits collection and you're welcome to bring in your own food. Our favorite thing about this place? They looked to support local artists by incorporating them into their space. Be sure to pay this place a visit!

    Fun fun fun!!! Had a ball with the crew hitting golf balls into the trees we hit this up weekly and now have incorporated a work crew to do the same. Can not go wrong checking out this place for a game of golf inside with a full bar!!

    We had an such a good time! The cocktails were excellent and the bartenders were attentive and knowledgeable. The space is more of an upscale vibe than any other golf simulator place I have ever been to. Its a spot that not only you can come golf, but also just come in and enjoy a nice cocktail. It's a large space that can accommodate groups for events; we plan on bringing my coworkers in for a team building event. The owners, Joe and Winston, were friendly, accommodating and helpful. We will definitely be frequenting this spot!

    I had an extremely pleasant experience, considering that it's Labor Day, everyone's off, and the place was empty. The bartender, Bryan, made it a party. Monday afternoon, literally just the girls & I pregaming before a consent. Bryan recommended individual drinks for each of us and they were all very tasty. Will def be coming back to this place! Def recommend checking it out :) it also has a golf VR so that was cool. This spot makes for a great first date, boys date, or just group date idea!

    We went right when they opened so things may have changed, but here is my honest feedback…read more.. Pros: - They views are cool, the pool is lovely. It's a great little rooftop deck/bar. - The indoor lounge space is cozy and inviting. - The two cocktails I had there were well balanced and delicious. Not overpriced, considering location and vibe. Cons: - The very first bartender we went to (shorter, older guy with a beard) was pretty rude. I understand they were extremely busy and this was probably one of their first services, but at one point while he was making drinks I asked him a question about one of the cocktails and he barked at me to please stop talking to him because he was trying to remember the ingredients and he would be with me in a minute. My friends and I were all kind of taken aback by that. I wasn't being annoying, I was very friendly... and it would've been my first drink of the night so it wasn't a great experience to start out. - This is definitely a bougier place. Some of the guests definitely made us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. Like we weren't fashionable enough, didn't look rich enough or had enough lip filler to be there. This place certainly has a type...

Unfortunately the overall experience was not great. My friend made a reservation for the pool and expressed that we were interested in swimming and cooling off. We were give direct permission to swim, relax, and enjoy. Upon arrival we were brought to the patio furniture around the pool which gets extremely hot in the sun. After enjoying a round of drink and food, we got into the pool and lounged around the sides. We were approached by the only other person at the pool and were harshly told what we can and cannot be doing. This person was a resident and told us that we couldn't even touch a lounge chair. It was very rude and unnecessary considering the 30 empty chairs all around. This person then contacted the waitress and manager and made a huge deal of it. We were eventually asked to get out of the pool. This seemed like a huge miscommunication handled very terribly. This was not a great look for the building as it is still leasing unit out.

    Cool views. Good drinks. Good (basic) food…read more The ambiance and atmosphere was nice. But I don't know why I expected a little more. But it was nice, and good enough! I'll be back. I guess the only thing that rubbed me the wrong way was when the hostess said something like, "oh, you don't have a reservation? let me see if we can get you in." She came back and said, "we only have the bar available." So we stood/sat at the bar. But there were clearly open tables. 20 minutes into our experience, the bartender was like, "just take one of those tables." I know they could have been reserved, and they had to hold them for a little bit longer... but the hostess didn't have to have attitude, and could have said something like -- 'we can seat you here if no one shows up.' I should probably give them 3 stars, but think there is potential here.

A seen or be seen feeling spot. Decent views, but best Mountain View had curtains covering it. Drinks were fine. Nothing special. Menu had a lot of sweeter cocktails. Well alcohol was not great quality. 20% tip is included and not highlighted. Unless you read every page of the menu, you will not know. Our server didn't mention it- just handed us the total and tip screen. We ended up tipping on top of it, so that was a VERY expensive martini! Would not go back. Great for young folks looking to dress up and take pictures.

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.

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.
