Williams & Graham is probably the most memorable bar I've been to in Denver. We were next door at the Occidental and only found out about it thru the server. Ambiance is everything you expect a speakeasy to be. It's dark and intimate. The menu is big with a lot of creative options. Service is extremely friendly! I got the Stay Golden cocktail with malt gastrique fries. Both of which were CHEF'S KISS! Too bad I had a flight to catch in the morning or I would've been there all night to try more drinks! read more

I knew I been here before. They make some unique drinks and I hear the food is good just haven't tried it. Nice speak easy. They had a tough time and couldn't make one of my drinks which you wouldn't expect at a professional classy place but oh well. Cool to go through the book case. Was killing time before an awesome dinner at Wolf's. The drink was the dark crystal read more

Williams & Graham - Small place but good drinks - American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A French onion soup, deviled eggs, a cookie, and a solid yap session should honestly be mandatory once a week. Hidden behind a bookshelf, this dimly lit 1930s-style speakeasy feels cozy, immersive, and just the right amount of mysterious. It's the kind of place where you lose track of time in the best way. The French onion soup was exactly what I wanted. Rich, cheesy, deeply comforting, and yes, it absolutely ended up on my shirt. That feels on brand here. The deviled eggs were classic and well executed, and the cookie was the perfect sweet bite to round things out. The atmosphere really does the heavy lifting. It's intimate without feeling stuffy and makes you want to stay longer than planned. Definitely a spot for lingering conversations, quiet laughs, and pretending you're cooler and more mysterious than you actually are. read more

Can't say enough good things about this spot, so swanky so on point, service was excellent, Kenneth our server was beyond lovely, the hosts and everyone there were so accommodating. The food was marvelous the housemade focaccia was so delightful, the home made ginger beer is my new favorite thing, the ny strip was cooked to perfection as were the potatoes. My wife's Mac and cheese which I shamelessly ate was so delicious. Brownie with little man salted Oreo ice cream was decadent and rich it was so indulgent. Again the service provided was top notch , the atmosphere was so smooth, comfortable booths, and soft lighting everything was perfect. Wife's birthday went swimmingly, thank you for having us Love hard and speak easy read more

Always phenomenal. Some drinks are a little out there, but I love giving the bartender some parameters and having them whip something up! Service is excellent. The vibe is always cozy and perfect for a cold day. read more

I flew into Denver super early from Chicago while my friend flew in around the same time from Nashville. We set William & Graham as our meetup point within the airport because we were excited to check out an airport speakeasy! Staff was very professional, kind, welcoming, and helpful from the minute we walked up to the hostess stand. They ask for your boarding time so they can be conscientious about seating (we had just landed and said as much, but they still were able to seat us within 5-10min). There is an EXTENSIVE drink menu, even at 9:30 AM haha. They were serving brunch foods at the time, and although we didn't eat, our neighbor at the bar had the full spread and it looked like a delicious, good-sized portion. The drinks were so picture-worthy, just as you'd expect from the vibe of the place. There's windows that let in natural light but it's nice to be shut "away" from the noise and chaos of the concourse. It's a very warm, wood-forward, study/library feel that is a nice contrast to the modern, sleek theme throughout the rest of the Denver airport. There was plenty of room to place our bags near us, and the staff was kind to point it out as we were seated. Definitely a gem in the airport, and fun to check out! read more

Williams & Graham - Irish coffee - American Near Me - Denver, Colorado

As much as it sounds strange but our dining experience at this Denver's one of the best speakeasies the other night was with an intention to enjoy what's on the food menu, not for the cocktails this establishment boasts. To be frank, I really didn't care about what drinks they serve as I haven't been much of a drinker these days. The bone marrow was what I was truly looking forward to. As I arrived on time to our reservation before my daughter I went ahead and ordered the marrow so that by the time she'd arrived the dish would have been ready at our table or at least we wouldn't have waited too long to eat it. It was my daughter's pre-birthday celebration dinner so I had to pick a special place for her. When she finally arrived, she had a question. "Mom, how did you find this place?" To which I said, "I have resources because I am an avid foodie." As to reflect the 1920's prohibition era or flamboyant jazz era, the place is super dark. Each time a dish arrived we had to put it close to the only guiding lamp at the table to take a photo of them. As I stated earlier, our dinner started with the roasted bone marrow. This was quite good and yet you don't get much out of it as it's the rich marrow that on the two huge bones. And to compensate the smallness of the actual meat part, they gave us more than a handful of toasted bread pieces. Next, we moved onto the seared scallops. Three good sized scallops were cooked in a well-seasoned sauce. Not salty but flavorful enough. Although not excellent, I rated it as a solid dish. Our choice for the third dish was the oyster. Each piece is $5 so we got two of them. The oysters were a bit small and yet tasted fresh. What impressed me most about this dish was the cocktail sauce. I was able to eat it by itself; it was that good. The pesto pasta with chicken was good and yet it was a bit dry to our liking. Not a bad dish though. The portion size is good. Whatever the purple vegetable or garnishment on top of the pasta was a nice enhancement. I couldn't make of it though. Although I didn't order any drinks, my daughter ended up ordering two wines (if you are a wine drinker ask for the wine list from your waiter/waitress.) The Malbec is technically a blend with Cab Franc and Petit Verdot. Certainly a unique blend that I have never heard of before. Second one she had was a beautiful Spanish white which superseded the red blend (by the way, I sipped both.) Only $12 for a glass is a steal deal for the kind of quality. We concluded our dinner by having the Horchata Ice Cream. A scoop of it was served in a bowl with coffee caramel with hazelnut. Not too decadent; just the right amount of sweetness to finish off the night. Service by our waiter, Ricky was solid although there were a few mistakes that were made during our 2-hour dining (he kindly corrected them all so at the end it was all good.) We will go back for sure. I personally want to try all of the menu items; the menu is not massive. The gumbo, mac and cheese, they all sound good. read more

The bartenders were amazing! I went with one of their seasonal drinks then with a classic. Both were phenomenal and made to perfection. It's quaint, enough light and not too loud. They also have a nice food menu. As usual, I got fries with an aioli sauce and there was what seemed and tasted like hot honey. Perfect pairing with my drinks. Great experience, recommend to anyone who enjoys a speakeasy vibe. Almost forgot, the ice cubes are all hand cut! They're so fun and make the drink even more special. read more

This place is honestly disappointing. We showed up, they put us on the list and told us it would be an hour. Then we came back to ask about our spot and they said it was not guaranteed. The girls were very cold and dismissive. Then they laughed at us for expecting to get in. Very disappointing. I will not return and will not recommend anybody to come here. read more

This place has a reputation as best hidden bar--- They earned and continue to shine. This is a small entrance that greets you and a wall of books. The wall will be moved and you slip into a perfectly lit bar. I can't describe the drinks adequately but a couple of photos with the drinks will let you see "you're not in Kansas anymore". I mean who could imagine putting younger and garlic confit in a drink and it turning out so nicely? read more

Was told we were going to a speakeasy, but did not know what to expect, we didn't have reservations but on a Sunday night around 9:30 they were able to accommodate. We were initially told we'd have to stand up at the tables in the lounge for a bit before any bar seating became open, but we got lucky and ended up being sat immediately upon entering to the back. When you walk in, you're in a very small foyer area that has bookshelves and coat racks and a nice person checking you in. Once they let you through to the back, she pushes open the bookshelf, and in you go to the speakeasy. It's really cool in the back, dark lusty vibes with good music playing, and lots of people. The bartender Megan was really nice, and knew so much. They had recently changed the menu and I instantly decided to try the first drink on the list, it was speaking to me. I had the 20/20 vision and it was so good, with the smokiness of the Mezcal really coming forward with the texture of the egg white. The bitters were also unique and the whole cocktail was so deep in flavor My friend tried the Carl wheezer and said it was authentic and delicious. Love how they give you the check inside a little notebook, I realized later that anything you write in the notebook sometimes will get hung up in the bathroom, as the drawings and notes left behind by hundreds of customers past are lining the bathroom walls Prices are pretty normal and they have food too although we didn't try any. will definitely come back and try some of that too read more

Location Terminal E Atmosphere Speakeasy-entrance hidden behind book case. ( if you are used to downtown Denver location, this one is not as dark inside). Seating Booths, high tops, bar Service Jamie rocked it!! Immediate, informative, friendly. Menu At the downtown-MANY whiskeys. Here large variety of cocktails, wine, burgers, fried Brussel sprouts. We had the cabernet and Brussel sprouts. Another customer recommended the sprouts-perfect!! Summary What an amazing out of the ordinary airport experience. In the lap of a luxury speakeasy! Hope you get to pop in! read more

Absolutely phenomenal spot. The vibes are amazing, the food is even better and the service was that of an upscale steakhouse without the upscale prices. We got the scallops which were perfect and came in a very flavorful sauce, the burger which was cooked exactly how we asked came with these other worldly malt vinegar fries on the side AND the star of the night...which I would order 20 of if I could...the bone marrow. That bone marrow may be my death row meal and I wish I could describe the flavor to you but you'll just have to get it. We will 100% be back and bring all our out of towners here when they visit. read more

Boujieeeeeee. Make a reservation and come here! What a lovely cocktail bar with some good snacks/entrees. Super intimate, dark lighting and compact. The drinks are phenomenal! If you're celebrating something, let them know and they'll make sure to hook you up with a little something on the house. We got champagne and a starter shot glass! The espresso martini is super well presented! A cool design on top, and the flavor is pretty good! The snacks here are solid, we got the deviled eggs and these whipped ricotta crustini things which, in my opinion, were better than the deviled eggs. Anyways, this place is neat, especially if you're celebrating something or want a cool speakeasy experience! If you have a "cocktail style" or preference/flavor let the server know and they'll bartender will make you something in line with what you like! read more

Worth the hype for sure. Small, quaint, unique and a vibe for sure. Make a reservation. Oh and parking sucks in fact doesn't exist at all - so plan ahead. Sat at the bar which is for sure the move. We got: - oysters (shucked better than dressed) but super fresh either way - bone marrow - DO NOT leave here without getting this. So so so good - steak and fries - is there a better combo? So good. - Mac and cheese with green chili and scallops - scallops were the best part - it's not what you think drunk - very strange and kinda good. Not sure I'd get it again. - this lemon chocolate drink that used to be on the menu but he made it for me from memory and it was amazing!!! The free starter drink was a nice touch but the 5% health care charge (wtf is that) was not. read more

Fun little speakeasy with good drinks and a "dark library" vibe. Loved the entrance and the staff at the front was really nice! We went a bit early since they get pretty packed after 7pm on weekends (Fri/Sat) and had no reservations left. It was easy for us to get in and we got a table after about 10 minutes. The drink list is solid and they can pretty much make any drink you'd like even if it's not on the menu. I will say our server was a little stuffy like she was judging us for not knowing certain ingredients and how to pronounce certain drinks. But besides that, good experience overall. read more

A dim lit speakeasy, they open the door for you. The door is a book shelf. Inside it's dim, lots of people, bustling. The cocktails are good, and strong. They'll double check if you like your drink. If you don't, they'll make you a new one! Reservations for a booth. Free street parking, could be hard to find. read more

My favorite speakeasy and cocktail experience. You enter through a a hidden door to the intimate dim bar beyond. The cocktail selection was so innovative. I had the bartender (s/o Kenny) help me choose and ended up with "it's not what you think" which was basically Thai green curry in a cocktail. I loved it! It was so distinct and complex. My friend ordered a thyme/cranberry/goat cheese cocktail that tasted like the perfect accompaniment to Thanksgiving. I love bars that have hearty dessert options - we got the brownie with Little Man's salted OREO ice cream - no need to wait in the long line down the street! This was so yummy but so rich that two of us struggled to finish Logistics: - indoor seating only - limited street parking nearby - reservations recommended but we were able to get walk in space for 2 at 6pm on a Sunday - keep group size under 4 as seating space is limited read more

Great experience and fun find. Was just walking by and had to try it out here! Was about a 5-10 min wait on a Tuesday night. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. Gave us a complementary drink as we walked in. That's when you know you are some place fancy! The vibe of the place just felt right. It was fun and seductive all at the same time. And these were in fact, the best deviled eggs I've ever had. Only downside is this place can be very pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for. read more

I learned about this airport speakeasy on tiktok and had to check it out when flying back from a conference in Denver. There seems to pretty much always be a waitlist, at least during the day - I came around 3:30p and my flight was at 5p. It was about a 25 min wait before I could get in, but I was seated at the bar and had time to chat with the bartender a bit, order an aviation, drink it at a normal pace and read my book for about 10 minutes, then I headed out. It looks exactly as it appeared on TikTok, it's just a single room with a few booths, couple tables, and a long bar. It was full when I came in, but didn't feel crowded. The aviation I had was also very good. Would def rec a little visit if you're passing through, if nothing else than for the novelty :) there are very real books on the bookcase, and the hostess also told me it's a share one-take one, so if you want to exchange a book there, you can. read more

I can't recommend this cocktail spot enough. Walked in on a Friday night without a reservation and only had to wait about 15 minutes to get in (I think we just got lucky).

I will definitely be going back to this sneaky great spot! read more

Lovely place- we got early reservations for seats at the bar. The bookcase entrance is fun, and I love the speakeasy interior. It's certainly dim but very warm and relaxed. Our bartender was fantastic and gave great recommendations. I got the Cloud Cascade, and it was easy to drink and interesting with the goat cheese wash. My friend ordered Found God in a Tomato and a green curry one I think called Not What You Think. Both were savory cocktails. The green curry one came with a little homemade chicken crisp. Great attention to detail with using our names and also bringing our coats in from the front. read more

One of my favorite cocktail bars in Denver! The menu rotates often so I've never had the same drink twice, but I've also never been disappointed. Most recently I tried a potato chip martini which was served with a side of caviar, sour cream, and chips and was such a fun experience. I haven't had a meal here before, but I definitely want to sometime. Would recommend securing a reservation as they get busy even on weekdays. read more

This was a fun little speakeasy to take out of town friends to. We didn't live far from it, so we Uber scootered there. It was a happening night and there was a little line out the door. I wasn't sure if we had to stand in line, since I have reservations. It seemed like everyone else didn't RSVP, so I went inside to let them know I was here. The lady at the counter just told me to wait and I wasn't sure inside or outside, because inside was very tiny. I eventually went outside and luckily the line didn't take long because left without knowing to RSVP. Owells. It was cool once we checked in because we're just facing a "book shelf". There's a small light in there letting the lady know when they're ready for the next group. It was pretty cool going thru the bookshelf, like I'm walking into a Harry Potter theme restaurant but more upscale of course. Definitely a lot louder inside, filled with people chatting the night away. Oh I chose the booth option when RSVPing and no random, which was great for the 4 of us. We had a bit more privacy and was able to hear each other. Our server was phenomenal of taking care of us that night. We all, but one, had the classic burger and the other had mac'n cheese with hatch chili. One of the tastiest burgers and very yummy and interesting basalmic fries - which was delish! The drinks were outstanding for everyone and for one that doesn't drink, I have no idea what they were. They just ordered the specials or customized their drink. Would love to come back and show other friends. read more

When all of our friends in the industry heard that we were coming back to Denver they said you have to try Williams & Graham. Not just one or two of our friends, but literally everybody said we had to try it out. It did not disappoint. You enter in through a bookstore through a hidden entrance in a bookshelf. Upon your arrival a note is passed through the wall announcing who will be entering the speakeasy. The bar/restaurant itself was very impressive and had a great mood. Kenny, the bartender that took care of us was truly amazing and gave us several other recommendations for the Denver area. We cannot express just how amazing the customer service was and we cannot wait to come back again. Next time we are in town. PS try the double eggs! read more

William & Graham is a premiere restaurant/cocktail lounge here in Denver. Entering through a hidden door, the vintage, dimly-lit, woody interior gives the place a fun yet sophisticated atmosphere. We ordered a bunch of cocktails, the burger and dessert. Everything was amazing. The waitstaff here are absolute professionals. Giving attentive service and good recommendations, the service here cannot be any better. I ordered my burger rare and it was delicious. The meat was very high quality and I loved the caramelized onion topping. I do not like cocktails but the ones here I actually enjoyed. Dessert was also very good.
