Have to go if you’re in Denver. So much fun. Laidback vibe and the bartenders are excellent!!. They are allowed to experiment with cocktails and compete to have the best ones while the owner comes up with new names and illustrations. The drinks we had were the most balanced and creative we had in the city. Their system is working. Support independent business!!!!

As someone with a tree nut allergy, the old menu was a lot easier to order from. I typically like whiskey or mezcal drinks. There is one rye cocktail and it has orgeat. 4 mezcal drinks and 3 of them have orgeat or fallernum. This isn’t the reason for 4 stars. Just hope whoever crafts the cocktails for the menu can offer subs or additional options for whiskey and mezcal that don’t contain tree nuts.The 4 stars was because they tried to take my hat or shoe as “collateral” for the “$200” mug my drink came in. I offered my ID or credit card instead but was told they had to take something that I would be sure to not leave without. My hat is more valuable than an ID or credit card??? Take the feedback, not my hat/shoes.

They didn’t let my friend who just turned 21 in because she had a vertical id. Which is ridiculous because her birthday has passed and she turned 21. Lost the customer ;)

2 other people in the bar, but it took 20 minutes for service.. paid $40 for 2 drinks that tasted like I ate a Halloween costume. Cool decorations though.

There isn’t a ten-star option here, be more cool, Google. This is one of my top-five favorite Denver spots. The staff is amazing and knowledgeable and make everyone feel like they’re at home. Thank you for showing me the Spagett, Max. Also, didn’t catch his name, but San Antonio makes some of the most amazing cocktails there are. Don’t be lame, go here.

Such a cozy, unexpected place far more worth visiting than the sleepy bar downstairs. The bartenders were great, attentive, and friendly; making great drinks while making me feel welcome. Nestle into a corner with the skeleton mermaids and vintage stereos, grab a mai tai, and enjoy the rare

Forced 22% gratuity on already overly expensive (small) drinks. But bloody good fun. It’s an experience and YOLO, try it.

I came for the holiday Grinch theme and ended up ordering one holiday drink and one non-holiday drink. The presentation on my drinks and my companion's drinks was over the top and wonderful. I felt like the presentation showed a ton of care for the product and the customer, and the bartenders really put effort into showing everyone a good time. This place will absolutely be on my regular rotation when I'm in Denver.

My friend & I came here tonight for their Xmas themed pop up and it was such a good time. Everyone was so nice, the bartenders especially, and the drinks were good. I would definitely come back, Xmas theme or not!
