    Cab
    J E.

    We stopped in for a glass of wine on a weeknight because we heard from friends about how nice this place is. Checking in was simple, though they were busy when we arrived with a large group in the private back room. Service was great. The menu is also great. They have a fair amount of wine in their menu, but I didn't see names of wines (brands/names), so I asked and learned that they either make their own or work with others to make a wine for them. So, I chose their higher-end cab to try and it was pretty decent on the first few tastes. Slightly fruity, which I'm not too fond of. But noticed that overall it feel flat, yet it was decent, just not worth the price. We tried their choose three meat/cheese board and that was really nice! Came with some great accoutrement and was fresh and tasty. The venue is beautiful and nicely decorated. Definitely would recommend stopping in!

    Wow! This place was exquisite. We selected Bigsby's for Denver Restaurant Week and it did not disappoint. Their regular menu includes amazing snacks and meals as well as flights of their wine and cocktails. For RW, Bigsby's had a flight paired with a small taste for each wine in the flight. The small tastes were well selected and paired perfectly with the wine. The kumquat is my new favorite add on! We sat at the bar and the bar stools were comfortable- iykyk. The bartender was very knowledgeable and knew exactly what we needed. We added an elote flatbread to our order and that was delicious as well. The place itself is well designed and offers indoor and outdoor seating. It is a great place for groups as well. Highly recommend and will go back to try another flight and delicious food.

    We came for brunch and had a great time. The quiche was delicious, service was attentive, and the interior was really nice. I didn't realize they served brunch and it was pretty quiet right at opening time but it filled in a bit as we were leaving. We were able to reserve for a large party which was impressive for the Denver brunch scene. Super fun and would be back. Everyone's meals looked amazing.

    Loved the industrial chic vibe at Bigsby's Folly--fun atmosphere but still laid-back. The port was incredible, and my husband was impressed with the nonalcoholic IPA. Can't wait to come back and try more!

    Had a fun Restaurant Week experience with a Reserve Tasting and attentive service. My friend and I sat at the bar and were treated to a perfectly timed pairing of wine and bites. Five tastes with five bites and a dessert liqueur of your choice at $45 was worth it. Set under the giant chandeliers juxtaposed against the earthy wooden beams, Bigsby's Folly meets all sorts of tastes. Our server was knowledgeable on the wines and the food pairings. The way the dried kumquat offset the bitterness of the rosé was mind blowing, who would have thought of fennel shortbread with Pinot Noir, and crisp coffee braised pork belly with Malbec, chef's kiss! Wine and food were great. Will definitely return to try more.

    I was enjoying some beautiful weather on my last day in Denver and wandered over to the re-gentrified RiNo arts district (definitely worth a visit!). I happened upon this very delightful appearing wine bar very conveniently located right by the 35th st pedestrian bridge. I was impressed by the very cute outdoor patio and gorgeous interior with warm wood and gold tones! And the food menu was very expansive for a wine bar, so I decided to check it out. The wine list is not that varied, but I went for their flagship rock drill red blend, which will not be worth the price point for everyone. But I'd say it's worthy for anyone wanting a very bold, slightly angry tobacco and tannin slap in the face. Interesting! Unfortunately the service was the same flavor- with a clearly overwhelmed barkeep and disorganized staff who couldn't figure out who to help. My water glass sat empty for the rest of the night. It's really a shame because otherwise I think this would have been a most lovely evening. I didn't bother writing about the food because unfortunately no matter how tasty, it will not absolve the woefully inadequate service. If you come here, I hope you'll have a better experience. But to end on a positive note, the gentleman who runs the Tuesday night trivia is great!!!

    White wine flight

    What's better than a Saturday that starts at a winery and ends at the Denver Art Museum? I was doing my normal yelp restaurant cruising and saw good reviews around Bigsby's Folly so wanted to give it a try - we made a reservation and went in for brunch. Service was ok, but the restaurant ambiance is beautiful and it's in a cool part of the RiNo area. The menu is broad and the food and wine were very nice. I had the breakfast burrito and the wine flight and it was an excellent start to an awesome day - we went in about 11 am which was a good time to beat the Saturday crowd.

    Such a cute winery in rino! Jameson was our waiter and he was so knowledgeable about the entire menu! We did the food tasting and wine pairing which was so fun! My absolute favorite item was the Burrata-Fig flatbread!!! So so yummy!!

    Went here for restaurant week with some girlfriends. Definitely a hidden gem! Every staff member we came across were so great. Taylor is awesome! It was a super chill vibe, love the ambiance inside and out. We tried a few of their wines and they were paired with cute bites to go along with the drinks. We also had a lemoncello to finish after eating some yummy nachos and flatbread. Will definitely recommend this establishment!

    From the bridge to the light rail.

    My wife and I always have lovely nights out here. Tucked away in the outskirts of Rhino district, I really like how well lit the street is . Added bonus is the access to the light rail and being next to a public parking garage, makes arriving here a cinch. Summer nights call for outdoor seating on the patio, while they do have plenty of seating indoor you can't go wrong with your date a large group... But being a novice wine drinker that I am I was happy to have our server explain and lead us to a nice flight of wine, and glass of Sangria. The selections would keep experienced wine drinkers happy. We accompanied our drinks with a charcuterie board, but they do have a full kitchen and desserts ready if you want to indulge some more. If you are looking for a quite and luxurious night out you will love this establishment.

    I've been meaning to visit Bigsby's Folly since I first heard about the place via the gluten free crowd. I mean, the name alone is enough of a drawcard! It did not disappoint. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. They have a great wine menu and quite a few gluten free options. Thank you! I do wish, however, they wouldn't upcharge for GF options. It's unfair and customers with allergies are tired of it. (Especially when the options are smaller and not as good.) Otherwise, Bigsby's Folly has a fantastic ambience and would be perfect for a date or holding a special event. I love the decor and 1920s vibe.

    We had an event here and they went above and beyond. The food they had for everyone was the perfect amount and plentiful. The wine was flowing and the servers walking around were super helpful. Everyone had a great time. Not one hiccup was had. They handled everything so professionally. We barely knew they were even there, and they kept us feeling like we had the entire place to ourselves.

    Alisa J.

    Loved the ambiance and service was nice. The reserve wines were quite good. Especially enjoyed the cab and Malbec. Would definitely recommend. The cheese board was delicious and they offered a nice variety but I felt like for the size it was slightly overpriced. The sliders were great wish there was more jus. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Bedlam was recommended to us for late night drinks by staff working in one of the restaurants at our hotel. During our short stay in Denver, we went to Bedlam twice. The first time was around 11:30 on a Thursday night. We had a few cocktails along with a cheese and charcuterie plate. The second time was around 12:30 on a Saturday night when we came in for a night cap. The first time we came in, it wasn't too busy, and we were encouraged to sit wherever we wanted. The bar was full so we chose a small table. Our server gave us menus, though specials were written on a chalkboard above the bar. We each tired a couple of cocktails and had a shot called the Master Shot. We also chose the make-your-own charcuterie board. Our favorite drink was the Woo Girl, which allowed us to choose our spirit of choice. I chose gin and my friend chose tequila. When we returned a couple of nights later, we knew already we were going to order the Woo Girl cocktail. It was packed on a Saturday night, but there was a small table in back where they seated us. This bar is more for spending time with the friends you come with, rather than mingling, as staff seats you at a table. It doesn't seem like they offer standing room or just squeezing in, though maybe we just didn't experience that. That said, all in all, I really enjoyed Bedlam and recommend it to anyone going to Denver.

My friends and I tried a number of the signature cocktails and had a few hot toddys that were super good. I'm personally a big gin and soda fan and loved ther housemade tonic that was in their classic G&T. Did not try any of the food but the dawgs were definitely would be tempting if I was hungry. Loved the decor and the plants all up in the space. The space is a bit more dimly lit and I think of a reasonable volume for a date. Would love to come back and spend some more time here.

The atmosphere is intimate, energetic, and a little on the louder side, making it a fun spot for date night or catching up with friends over quality drinks. The cocktails are definitely the reason to come. Their menu has an impressive selection, offering both well-executed classics and creative house twists. I'm a fan of spirit-forward cocktails, and mine was exceptionally well-balanced, smooth, and exactly what I was looking for. You can tell the bartenders know their craft. We also ordered some food, although that wasn't really the main reason for our visit. The special pasta dish was unfortunately undercooked, but the fish served with it was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. Overall, the food was okay, but it definitely took a backseat to the drinks. The ambiance is what really ties everything together. Between the low lighting, vintage decor, bustling cocktail bar, and lively conversations filling the room, it has that authentic speakeasy charm that makes you want to linger for another round. If you're looking for one of Denver's best cocktail bars, William & Graham is absolutely worth a visit. I'd happily come back again--and next time, it'll be for the drinks.

Lincolns absolutely delivers on the speakeasy vibe - from trying to find the door, to figuring out how to actually get inside (LOL), to settling in with drinks once you're finally through. It makes the whole experience feel interactive and memorable. **Tip: it actually isn't too hard to find. I won't completely spoil it for people who want the fun of the hunt, but I'll leave a few hints at the bottom. The drink special that night - their version of an Old Fashioned - was excellent and absolutely worth ordering. The other cocktails are liquor + mixer with the soda or bar gun. We tried a local gin (can't remember the name) & soda and a Four Roses Bourbon & Pepsi. There was a odd flavor that came with that round and tasted watered down. Stick with the special. So good! I'd go back all day for the special alone. The staff was a little bit of an outlier compared to the rest of the experience. Everyone was nice, but they didn't seem especially engaged, and the attire didn't really match the speakeasy atmosphere. That said, the space itself is large and immersive enough that once we had our drinks, we just leaned into the whole experience and had a great time. HINTS: 1. Go to the address listed... duh. 2. Something is COOKING through the glass. 3. Find the stairs down. 4. If you hear music and see some impressive doors, figure out how to LIFT the handle to get inside.
