Peach Cobbler Cocktail

Hidden away but should not be a secret! This place is great! Delicious cocktails with local made spirits. Can't wait to check out whiskey Wednesday and happy hour.

Mountain Mule - so smooth.
Wendy M.

What a cool new find! And not too far from home. Woot! Albeit, without their bright "Distillery" signs to help lead the way, it would've taken us a bit longer to actually find their place. 52eighty is nestled on the back side of an industrial area, directly across from Blue Spruce Brewing, but not facing the road. We felt like we were driving to the back loading docks of the businesses, but alas, we hit pay-dirt! Keep driving and look for the signs. Once you feel like you're on the back side, you're close! All that to meet the owners (two friends and their wives) as well as their investor - clearly also a good friend. Sitting down at the bar, we witnessed their light hearted banter. We felt immediately at home and were laughing almost as soon as we walked in. What can be better? Well, great drinks made it epic. We tasted each of their distilled goodness and man, they know what they're doing. I'm not a straight whiskey fan and typically don't even sip my beloved vodkas neat, but you can do this with their offerings. And, bless them for incorporating Palisade peaches into their Summer Peach vodka. Wow. You can literally smell the peaches before sipping. Nothing added but true peachy goodness - all picked fresh, individually pitted and added to the distilling process. YUM. My partner is the whiskey drinker. We both really appreciated their Hearthstone and Cackler's. While both are incredibly smooth and don't have the anticipated "bite" that I'm used to, the Hearthstone wowed us with its three-year-old Irish Whiskey and Rye Whiskeys, bringing forth a surprisingly sweet, floral fragrance, and hints of toasted oak and vanilla. Don't misunderstand though, the Cackler's was a very close second. We ultimately took a bottle home of their Summer Peach and the Hearthstone, but wouldn't been just as happy with the other two. Wow. Such a cute, laid back, neighborhood vibe (with neighbors you honestly like, lol) paired with some amazing drinks and solid spirits to hold it all together? We could've stayed all night. We might still be there now if they didn't have families and kiddos to care for... that and the fact they do close each night! Ha! So damn good. Go. Really... go now. You're welcome in advance.

Old Fashioned!

We are such fans of this distillery. Fresh, seasonal cocktails on the menu and solid Old Fashioned choices. The bartenders are proud of their product and they are so nice. If you need a munchie there's a popcorn machine to satisfy that. Can't wait to go back!

As mentioned in my previous review, I focused on neat tasting of their whiskeys and vodka. Today I returned and focused on their cocktails to compliment the sunny weather. I tried a couple of my own and took a few sips from my friend's drinks. I had the Irish Madden and the Sally Cider, and sipped the Maple Old Fashioned and the Mustang Sally. Oh lord, all of them were equally superb. They were all delicious, with each offering a well balanced flavor without being overly sweet. If you aren't necessarily a neat whiskey drinker, the cocktails here are definitely worth the visit. I simply love family owned endeavors and this place stands out. Can't wait to go back and try a few more on their endless list of cocktails featuring their distilled spirits.

This place is Awesome! They have tons of spirits distilled here! Great Atmosphere! They have Whiskey, Bourbon, Vodka and Gin. They have plenty of parking and it is a beautiful facility. There is an attached Tap Room which is also Awesome and they have a Food Trailer out front. They have a big screen showing movies out front.

This is an awesome local small batch distillery. It's amazing to find places like this in the suburbs! The staff are friendly and amazing. I will definitely be back. Support local and go check them out!

First of all, the proprietors are the nicest guys and very welcoming as soon as you come in the door. They are ready to pour samples of their local spirits before you can even sit down. The ambience is very cool Colorado. But let's chat spirits....The Peach Vodka - so crisp, refreshing and down right tasty! If you're a bourbon or whiskey drinker... you have definitely found the right place. The bourbon was so incredibly smooth... hands down my new face for whiskey neat. I enjoyed a Grandpa William's Tea. It was warm with honey and lemon. Ah-mazing. My new go to place to grab an excellent but reasonably priced bottle of locally made spirits.

The vodka, no matter how many "flavors" they add, is heinous. Bourbon is marginal at best. Gin is petrol.

They've gotten do much busier though. There must've been over 30 people at the bar getting drinks. But the 4 bartenders at the bar were slinging them out quickly. Even though they were fast the drinks were extremely well made and the customer service wad amazing. The ambiance was great!! Everyone was here to have a good time. But no one was overly rowdy or raucous. People were friendly and conversational but stayed in their lanes also. Even though all these years have passed. And the pandemic has ravaged many businesses.

Their cocktails are consistently excellent, but the standout for me is the Gentleman's Buck. It's perfectly balanced, refreshing, and endlessly drinkable. I still wish they'd bring it back onto the happy hour menu! The staff makes the experience even better. Sam and Joshua are fantastic bartenders - friendly, welcoming, and genuinely great at what they do. They make the bar feel like a place you want to return to again and again. And if you're a whiskey fan, their Whiskey Wednesday events are always a blast. You can learn something new, try something interesting, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. Seven Grand delivers on all fronts: great drinks, great people, and a great location. Highly recommended!

A lot of the items on the menu were a bit pricey for size/taste/quality but for a special occasion or date night could be worth it.

First, wife is a vegetarian and they had no mains other than Mac and cheese for her. She ordered the salad without chicken which was $25. They knocked it down to $22 after I asked why it was the same price without meat, which still seemed like a lot for a salad with no protein. Kids' Mac and cheese was not the same receipe as last time; it was a different noodle and seemed to be needing some salt as it was pretty bland. Unlike our last visit they did not include an ice cream for dessert. My fried chicken and waffles was ok--the breading was a bit soggy though and I much preferred the Nashville hot chicken from my last visit. If I'm being honest this was closer to a 2 star experience, but with how good the last visit was, I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt they maybe tonight they were just off. That said--need one vegetarian entree for the menu.

Headed up to my FAV - Arvada, Bluegrass Coffee & Bourbon Lounge, There were a plenty of Halloween children walking down the street, dress in their Halloween costumes, and at the Bluegrass, all was decorate and BUSY. Many on their computers/free wifi!!! It rocks. And the food, teas, drinks at the bar or tables or "get to meet others tables", all bustling, with families and Halloween children with their "filling up pumpkins" treats everywhere in Bluegrass, on the streets, businesses offering treats. I sat in the corner with my Aspen Pretty Eyes, with only ONE ITEM MY STOMACH WAS CRAVING, Pesto - Artichoke - scatter GREENS Pizza and English Hot Tea. And get some work done searching information regarding Pre-fab Homes. Learned a great deal, I could save $$$$ And my pizza arrived, I do not know who was more hungry, Aspen or myself. Normally even a small pizza is Huge for me, but we gobbled that Pesto Pizza down so fast, I thought I might wish to order another!! Naw, let it settle and wind our way through the clamor of children petitioning; "Trick or Treat!" I LOVE Bluegrass, and there are two locations. Arvada is special with it's small artful historical feel, with parks and friendly people, pooches and plenty of parking a block n 1/2 away. Writing this, I WANT TO GO BACK AND HAVE MY FAVORITE PESTO PIZZA!!! Do enjoy this place, open 7 days weekly, also it does have a back patio and front patio, GREAT food; place is family, bar, wifi working and friendly banter!! Aspen made it to their headline photos!! Their second restaurant is super Dog friendly!! Enjoy
