WILLIAMS & GRAHAM

This prohibition era style speakeasy, whose entry is hidden behind a bookcase door, is well worth the wait. Classic and modern cocktails are served with a big side of hospitality. Williams and Graham ranked among the Top 50 Best Bars in the World. Putting Denver in the company of cities like Amsterdam, London and New York. RATIO BEERWORKS

Ratio has quickly established itself as a hot spot in RiNo that attracts throngs of people for its beer, atmosphere, and fun events. The space here is a former distillery brightened up with more windows and color. Add to that 4,000 square feet of outdoor patio and several wonderful beers – and you’ve got a recipe for a great craft beer experience.

GREAT DIVIDE BARREL ROOM

The Barrel Bar is the first phase of Great Divide’s major expansion. The new taproom and canning facility boasts 16 beers on tap and a crowler machine that cans beer to go. Great Divide brews some of the world’s most balanced yet flavorful beers. These beers have earned 18 Great American Beer Festival medals and 5 World Beer Cup awards. PEAKS LOUNGE

Enjoy breathtaking views of downtown Denver and the surrounding Rocky Mountain skyline from atop Hyatt Regency Denver at Peaks Lounge. Voted one of Denver’s Best Scenic Sixteen, this delightful 27th floor bar provides the perfect backdrop and atmosphere for sophisticated gatherings and special occasions.

THE CRUISE ROOM

Inside the historic Oxford Hotel, this martini bar is the definition of cool. It opened the day after prohibition was repealed, making it downtown Denver’s first bar. Art decoration with neon and chrome are the order of the day; many locals refer to it as The Red Room because of the red lighting. Cocktails and martinis are served up by waitresses in 1930s attire. TERMINAL BAR

Located in the historic ticketing office inside the Great Hall of Union Station, patrons can now step up to the window and purchase a Colorado craft beer rather than a train ticket to the west coast. The fabulously restored space offers a complete selection of spirits as well as an extensive list of carefully curated wines.
