American Bonded is a really cool spot, especially the rooftop when they have live music. I wouldn't say the drinks are superb but definitely a great deal, especially on happy hour read more

This place rocks. Frozen drinks are gas and the pool tables are good fun. The upstairs is really nice when it warm out

Love the Photo Booth and pool- a bar with activities is incredible. Will be back!!!!!!!

Wow, this place is a party! We dropped by after the Saint Patty's Day parade and were blown away by this bluegrass party band on the rooftop! The bartender says they will have bluegrass music every Sunday afternoon as well! We're definitely coming back for the drinks and the 4/20 bluegrass party 4/20/25. read more

Came here and the service was absolutely horrible. And by horrible, I mean the servers and security were the rudest people I have ever met in my life. Specifically, Joe... she should be fired for how she treats guests. I will never be coming back until they change their staff. read more

Negative reviews. Literally tried to open a door that I saw someone go in... thought it was the restroom but was their cellar and it was completely unmarked so had no idea. Got immediately kicked out without opportunity to explain myself. Explained myself and they still kicked us out even though they completely understood. Her name is JOE... do NOT talk to her. Fire her read more

Every time my boyfriend and I come here we get ignored... when we do wait for someone to help us they get our order wrong. We live in the neighborhood and wanna like this place. We want to be regulars but every single time is a bad experience. I don't know if it's cus we are an interracial couple or what the issue is but we never left a review until today. When we came in, the bartender downstairs helped us and was nice but once we went upstairs to the rooftop patio, we were ignored. The bartender was too busy talking to people he knew, or people he didn't know but enjoyed more than doing his job. All in all this place is very disappointing read more

Nice little spot in Five Points/RiNo. Super chill and industrial vibe in this cocktail bar. Staff was friendly and they now have Soi Koiboiw in the back! read more

Dear considering patrons, We've had good experiences at American Bonded. The music is often electric. HOWEVER, last night my friends and I experienced something just short of assault at the hands of the American Bonded staff (the bondees, if you will.) We were displeased by the unprofessionalism that was shown (ie. cursing ["f*ck off], threatening, and disrespect of our patronage. We're still gonna come back but this was a jarring experience. read more

Yeah so we were waiting in line to use the restroom, and a staff member yelled at our friend when we trying to find out why the line was broken up. She was guessing where the line ended, and he said "yeah I know I work here b*tch!" which seems like an overreaction. Also there was vomit ALL OVER the women's bathroom. Nasty and I even slipped in said vomit and fractured my ankle. No one helped me. At least the vodka Redbull was good. The vibes were off the charts upstairs. read more

3.5 stars. I came here with a friend before attending a dance showcase nearby. Even on snowy days, parking is CRAZY in the evenings, especially on weekends. We had difficulty finding parking... you really just have to get lucky. If you're just having drinks at American Bonded, order at the bar, where you'll hopefully find seats! On our visit, I got a delicious margarita, which I would order again. The bartender was friendly and approachable, as is everyone I've met since moving to Denver. The food on the menu looked tasty, but we were only stopping for a drink in the half hour we had to spare. Love their happy hour specials and themed cocktails. Very creative. My 3.5 rating is with the caveat that I'd come here again and probably give it 4 stars. There wasn't enough time to truly enjoy the atmosphere and have another drink. Just through reading other Yelp reviews, I learned there's rooftop seating! I'm sure American Bonded will be popular over the summer. With any other place, get here early. read more

Bonded - Margarita - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A casual bar to hang out and listen to loud music. The full bar is at the bottom and the top rooftop doesn't have a full bar. You can get the drinks downstairs and head up. Drinks were surprisingly good. Although bartender was bit clueless, he made the cocktail very well. I got a grapefruit whiskey sour, and it was good. read more

Don't believe the hype! Hank is the man! I came in with an old friend and we were looking for Jameson and he showed us all his options. We had shots. He really took care of us! This place is great! I'm on an 11 hour layover and Hank made my day! :) read more

Bonded - Hank! - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Very cool bar. They have happy hour from Monday to Friday from 4 - 7 which is longer than most bars in the area. The deals here are pretty good also, with $7 wines, $6 old fashioneds, $5 wells and drafts. We stuck with the old fashioneds, and they were quite delicious. Pretty strong as well. The servers here are pretty attentive and friendly. They were on top of us when we our drinks were empty and they provided waters as soon as we sat down. I like that hospitality. We also were able to try the chips / salsa / guac. They were pretty good, but definitely nothing to write home about. Overall, definitely a good place to start your night. Gotta take advantage of that happy hour! read more

Bonded - Happy hour menu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

So their Rodriguez sandwich is BOMB but their service is not. They sat us right away but had us waiting for 30 mins until someone came over to take our order; I actually had to go grab someone to take our order. Then, we placed an order for food and drinks, and our food came out before our drink. If you're okay with waiting a long time for drinks and food, then come here. If you're not patient to wait long for food and drinks, don't come here. read more

Awesome service and a great vibe. Bartender greeted every request with a genuine smile and had awesome knowledge of local hot spots. The old fashioned was 10/10. read more

Stopped by for a few cocktails and dinner in the patio. We had one before and one after sandwich cocktail and they were all fantastic. Affordable prices for the quality. We each ordered a sandwich from open as well. Notable favorites include: vernal equinox to drink and Osaka sandwich to eat. Refreshing and flavorful drink. The patio quickly filled to capacity and was a bit understaffed which resulted in slow service, but the server was great, but a few servers on duty would have made things a bit more enjoyable. All in all a fantastic way to end the week. read more

Stopped in here with a couple friends for a drink and a quick bite. Honestly, this would have been a 4 star review had it not been for the disappointing appetizer. Each of our drinks were delicious and one friend said the old-fashioned here is his favorite. I went for the spiced apple mule, always a sucker for seasonal option and it was definitely refreshing. The issue we had was when our chips & salsa arrived, it must have come with a tablespoon of green & red salsa. We paid $3 more for the same amount of guacamole. Now, I understand this is not a Mexican restaurant and I wouldn't say my expectations were high for plate of chips salsa, but our whole table remarked at how small the portion was. I think they can do better. read more

It's a cool little spot with an upstairs patio in RiNo. The drinks were delicious. It's definitely a late 20s - early 30s hot spot. Parking in this area is a B-word so just don't. Be smart and Uber. This is really close to some other fun locations too, so you can include this spot in a bar crawl. Overall a good pick! read more

I've been wanting to check this place out since it opened, and actually have it bookmarked in my Yelp! account. Came here on an-off chance one evening; they were hosting a "pop-up bar" bar takeover experience, rad! It was put on by a bar based in NYC, and they served fr signature whisky cocktails all night! The bar itself has a great atmosphere, and the staff is all so helpful (and extremely young and trendy). Can't wait to check them out again! read more

Was excited to celebrate a night out to celebrate my best friend's birthday, but that was abruptly stopped when I was called a foul name by a worker at the establishment. Extremely unprofessional from somebody who also works in the bar environment and has NEVER had to use derogatory language towards a customer. read more

Ew. This place was yucky and the workers were rude as hell. I wish I could give this 0 stars but that's not possible so you get one star. Work on your customer service and cleanliness pls. Nobody should be hovering over a puke soaked toilet to go pee and then be called a b!tch by the staff. read more

I cane here after work one evening with a group. We started out upstairs and sat at the bar. There's a tropical vibe up there and the service was good and friendly. I didn't love the drink I got and the bartender switched it for me. We then went downstairs and there were no servers, so we had to order at the bar. I preferred the drink options downstairs better, but liked the vibe on the patio better. read more

Pretty underwhelming. The decor is super cute but the service and offerings are pretty average. Our server kept complaining about how busy it was and used the old carafe from the former patrons as ours. They did bring us the wrong fries and gave them half off, though. He didn't know much about the menu or the offerings and was just generally, pretty sour. The slushie drink is pretty tasty but I can't remember what it was called... Great view from the balcony, though. read more

Cool little shotgun bar. What you see is what you get here. They've got a rotating pop-up kitchen so stay close to their website to find out who's on for the night. Lots of house specialty cocktails to choose from here. Best advice is to try them during happy hour. It's solid. Rooftop is also chill, but that isn't open just yet. Trivia night on Monday is a vibe. But it ain't easy... read more

I brought my best friend here because I raved about the burgers. I had a good time the first time but this particular experience was not good at all. I've been in the industry for 15+ years and I expect good service when I go to an establishment where Im spending money. The bartender was at best, cold and unresponsive. I mean a dead corpse could have been more friendlier then this guy. Also, I see this trend of a water station going around and I get it when the place is busy. However, if it's not busy and I ask for a water with my cocktail and food I ordered it's super rude I feel to point me to a water station is just like saying "fu$& you". read more

We were in Denver for the week and stumbled on this bar. Amazing service..Espresso Martinis were the best! Go here for an awesome chill Happy Hour. read more

Really unique place in the Arts District. Serve all types of beer & liquor with a heavy emphasis on cocktail creations. Place is very laid back, inside was cozy and they also have a sizeable rooftop dining & drinking area. We had a drink and shared a couple of tapas on their roof deck. The taco plate was great (3 tacos) with the barbacoa being my favorite. The taco plate is also served with rice & beans although you can just get single tacos a la carte. We also shared a basket of Chili Cheese Fries and they were da bomb! read more

I haven't been to American Branded but this is actually a review for OPEN, which is their kitchen option (hard to find it in Yelp; the search just kept thinking I wanted to find open restaurants). But on to OPEN and it's sandwiches.... Fantastic. We were on the go today so we ordered this for pick up. My friend and I split the Lee and the Osaka and both were absolutely delicious. The Osaka has a great balance of flavors (savory, crispy dark meat and tangy slaw and sour pickles). The Lee short rib meat was juicy and the jus had a kick! Both breads were fresh and had great texture (not soggy, not too crusty). We got salt chips with that were clearly made in house and not too oily or overpowering. On top of that, some of the proceeds of each meal go to charity (Project Angel Heart). So appreciate that effort and intention from them. Will definitely return for these sandwiches and hopefully a cocktail soon! *if you can help me find OPEN's own page in Yelp to drop this review separately, LMK!* read more

Yummy strong drinks that weren't too pricey! Happy hour drinks are $5 for a well drink which were nice and strong. I got a cocktail also that was delicious and very different than anything I've had. If you're in the area looking for a casual drink it's worth stopping in. read more

Good cocktails and second floor patio overlooking the action on Larimer St.

Love their ambiance! I've been here twice for work meetings right when they open. Our office is down the road so I can see this becoming our go to place. Each time I've visited thus far, it's been a great spot to grab a drink, catch up, and still be able to hear what the other person is saying! Happy hour is pretty decent with wines, Wells, and a few beers on sale. The service was a little slow, which was disappointing. However the cocktails alone made up for it. Can't wait for the spring to take advantage of their rooftop patio! read more

Review for both AB and OPEN! I couldn't find Open on Yelp. If it appears I'll write a separate review for that. American Bonded - great rye and bourbon old fashioneds. Strong and flavorful. Open - unique and delicious sandwiches. The Chavez was so good. The relleno was crispy, the potatoes were soft, the lettuce added necessary crunch, and the sesame roll was a nice touch. My friend enjoyed the Lee, especially the dipping sauce. read more

Joe was the best bartender ever! Making Wyatt's birthday trip end a great time!! Great conversation and service was fast and on point.

What a great new bar! We waited a bit to try it, expecting the usual new-place crowds. We ventured in on a Sunday night and sat at the bar. I assumed the crowds would be on the rooftop. But it was a pretty quiet night, so we were able to chat with our excellent bartender. He made great cocktails. The place is pretty big and looks great. It's pretty open--I think they were planning on a different crowd than at other cozy craft cocktail spots in the area. And they'd be right--this neighborhood is changing, and there's more of a go-to-a-bar-to-drink-up-and-be-seen crowd rather than folks looking to sip a fine cocktail. Luckily this place can satisfy both. I don't live close enough to walk here anymore. But the cocktails at American Bonded are worth a drive (or bus ride or cab). I'll aim for a weeknight before the party crowd arrives. The food was good, too. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. Came to watch the Avs game and was met with the most rude waitstaff I've ever encountered. The cook was working the kitchen of the restaurant as well as the hot dog stand out front. We had walked across the street to grab a pizza and brought it back over where the cook berated us, making very aggressive comments about the pizza being brought in, instead of explaining that they don't allow outside food. He continued to walk by and make comments to us, even after the pizza was put away, Going as so far to tell the waitstaff not to serve us drinks anymore. Upon our leaving, the cook threw trash at us while we were walking away. read more

I want to give this place four stars, but the service really ruined the experience. The drinks were great, the brussels and pickles were delicious, but the fact that we werent checked on after those things were delivered or that I had to hunt someone down to get our check, definitely put a damper on our time at American Bonded. Its one thing if they were busy, but besides us, there were three other parties, and at least five employees. Our server simply left without cashing us out or transferring the check, and when I had to ask the bartender for our bill, it took him some time to even find our tab. We could have walked out without paying, and no one may have known until closing time. It sucks that the place doesnt feel welcoming or pleasant because the product is great and worth going back for. For two small plates and a drink each, our tab was only $30, which is hard to find. The cocktails were well made, well balanced, delicious and unique. The food was simple but well presented and tasty, and more than enough for the price. Overall, this could be a great neighborhood bar, but isnt the point of a "neighborhood bar" to feel welcomed? read more
