    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.

    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.

Other times I'm just in the mood for a cocktail that reminds me why I don't waste my time at places that think whiskey and cola is "craft." This visit was all about the cocktails, and Seven Grand absolutely delivered. Josh, our bartender, was running the room like a conductor leading an orchestra of happy whiskey drinkers. He asked what we liked, made a couple of recommendations for Old Fashioneds based on our preferences, and absolutely nailed it. Every drink was balanced, flavorful, and dangerously easy to sip. The guy knows his whiskey, knows his cocktails, and somehow still manages to make everyone at the bar feel like they're his only customer. The whiskey selection is enough to make a bourbon nerd lose all sense of financial responsibility, but surprisingly, we escaped without needing to refinance the house. If Josh doesn't own Seven Grand, someone should probably look into fixing that. Until then, I'll keep showing up to "try just one drink"... knowing full well that's a lie I tell myself every single time. Highly recommend. Just don't blame me when two hours mysteriously disappear.

There were four tastes paired with caramel, cheese, chocolate and fig. Each pairing brought out different flavors in the whiskey samples.

The server took our order but never put it in so while our friends ate and drank we got nothing. Once we were able to track down the server, she blamed the kitchen which left a bad taste in my mouth (I'd prefer she just admit she forgot to put in the order) and when my friend's pizza came out 12-15 mins later, it was the wrong pizza altogether.

The night started fun, but things quickly took a turn. From where we were sitting (not part of the group involved), I noticed a man becoming aggressive toward another nearby group--yelling at them and eventually shoving someone, which led to a fight. As someone simply watching it unfold, it was pretty clear who escalated the situation. What was most surprising, though, was how it was handled. The owner appeared to side with the individual who initiated the confrontation and ultimately removed the group instead. Later, we heard that the man involved was actually a friend of the owner. From an outside perspective, the group that was asked to leave seemed calm and was minding their business before things escalated. Watching everything unfold--and seeing how it was handled--left a really negative impression. Unfortunately, that experience made the environment feel uncomfortable and biased, which is disappointing because the night had started on such a positive note.
