    Rose all day
    Katherine Y.

    Curio was bustling on Friday afternoon. I had the rose all day and it was the best cocktail I had in Denver! The bartender was super cool and know his stuff. I will definitely come back if I am in the area.

    Always a great place to hang with friends or by yourself. Always good music and great service. It's in the Denver central market so you can get plenty of food to eat.

    When it's girls night for you and your best, you choose Denver Central Market, and arrive before everyone else to grab a drink at Curio Bar! Heck yeah! Curio Bar is located within Denver Central Market in the heart of the RiNo neighborhood. They boast a bar full of Colorado crafted brew, spirits, and cocktails that will make any mouth water. After browsing the menu, I opted to sip on Catching Smoke. This cocktail features: Oaxacan rum, mezcal, midori, pineapple, and lime served up over crushed ice with a bendy straw and garnished with an umbrella. It's definitely a bevvie worthy of the 'gram. I was a little disappointed that I didn't get much of a smokey flavor to the drink, it was more of a strong, salty, margarita flavor. Given the name that was a little disappointing. Like other reviewers, I was also rather surprised by the hefty pricetag on most of the drinks. Though being there during happy hour took $2 off, and that helped me with my sticker shock. The bartenders were friendly and checked back with my friend and I to ensure we didn't need anything else. I love the RiNo neighborhood, so I can easily see myself coming back to Denver Central Market and more specifically bellying-up to Curio Bar - but probably during happy hour only. Cheers Denver! **Pro Tip: They offer a weekday happy hour from 2pm - 6pm. This discount includes $1 off all beer taps, and $2 off cocktails and house wines. Cheers!

    Denver Central Market is very cool overall. There are lots of food options to order so something would fit your tastebud (hopefully). The drink I ordered was called the Bellhop and it was a delicious drink. Drinks are quite pricey and quite small. If you are coming with a larger group, getting a table is a challenge after parking. Parking just sucks in this area and be prepared to walk several blocks.

    We ended our day long binge drinking night cap here. And it was the best cocktail I had all night! I ordered their #1 drink- came with rye, apple, grenadine and passion fruit. It was so good. It was strong but had that sweet fruit after taste. Delicious!! Next time we'll start our binge drinking here.

    We stopped here for after dinner drinks, and the drinks have some interesting flavors and twists on the usual, which is great. I like the creative spin! The two drinks that I tasted were delicious, and they were also very aesthetically pleasing. While I really like the small nugget ice cubes, it is not pleasant to have so much ice that when you tip the cup to take a drink, ice goes everywhere. Awkward. And while the service was fast, I must agree with some of the other reviewers that the waiter was aloof and indifferent rather than friendly or even welcoming.

    Really enjoyed this bar and the location. Bartender was great and I tried a new favorite drink!

    denver central market is a lil vibe! super cute bar, and they have a wideee variety of alcohol. stopped in for a quick drink, ill be back!

    Gorgeous Fizz in the forefront, followed by 2 Mexican Palomas.

    Things I liked: -Creative and delicious drinks. -The menu is separated by price of cocktails instead of type, liquor, etc. -Gorgeous space -Open seating -Get good from any of the number of places around the bar. Things I liked less: -service wasn't bad, just slow. They were packed! It was a weekend night, so I'll give them a pass here. ...that's it! Get the Fizz! One of the best drinks I've had.

    Gordon's Cup

    Just stopped into the market and had to stop at Curio! The atmosphere is hip and trendy and the staff is so helpful! We got the Gordon's Cup which is their spin on a G&T. It has cucumber, lime and salt and pepper. I'd recommend adding a lemon wedge for added sweetness!

    Great drinks.The have a big list of Spirits. My kind of place. Their wine descriptions have a good sense of humor. I like the unique glassware that they serve the drinks in. The drinks that we ordered are Aperol Spritz and Queen Park Swizzle. They are great for a nice lunch drink. I like the muddler which is also a straw. Very nice ! Just make sure that straw makes into your mouth, not hitting your front teeth. It might chip your teeth lol. The whole place ( Denver Central Market ) offers a great vibe and variety of food and drinks. You can definitely find what you like to eat or drink or even take it home (not the cocktails of course:-))

    Bartenders are very selective about who they want to help. Leaving others to stand by waiting to be helped.

Tucked inside the Free Market alleyway at Dairy Block, this smaller satellite location delivers big on atmosphere. The tap list is thoughtfully curated, and the real standout is the space itself. The seating areas feel intentionally designed, cozy, and creative ~ and they rotate the layout every couple of months, which keeps things feeling fresh. When I stopped by, the main room was set up with comfy couches, lounge chairs, and bean-bag-style seating that practically invites you to settle in. I got so relaxed I ended up hanging out for several hours without even realizing it. It's the kind of place where time disappears in the best way. Shoutout to Joy, the beertender working that day ~ she was fantastic. Super knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely helpful when talking through the beers. Great service without being overbearing, which always elevates the experience. If you're looking for a spot downtown that feels laid-back, stylish, and thoughtfully curated, this taproom absolutely delivers. I don't get downtown as often as I should, but this place is officially on my "come here more often" list. Love this new taproom ~100% my vibe!!!

The vibe is cool with music playing, garage doors that open up to the outdoor patio & a friendly staff. We arrived mid afternoon on a sunny Sunday for pizza. As the owner(s) say, why the name Black Shirt, "it's my symbol of rebellion- Johnny Cash". " Black shirts stand for rebellion, independence, and the courage to stand apart." And their pizzas do stand apart from others! We ordered the War Pig Pizza and a small Caesar Salad. The pizza was topped with a red sauce & a cheese blend, with cotija, pepperoni, prosciutto, bacon, sun-dried tomatoes & a chipotle-maple glaze - it was outstanding! The combination with these ingredients made for a delicious craveable pizza. I especially liked the glaze, more sweet than spicy. However, the salad was just okay, the dressing didn't have a lot of flavor & the lettuce could have been more fresh. Overall a great lunch & I look forward to trying some of their other pizzas as well as their beer.
