    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!

    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.

    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:-))

    I really like this vibe! I'm such a sucker for nice interior design and back patios and Hudson Hill…read morehas both! There's plenty of comfy seating to lounge on, as well as a bartop for folks to sit on. This place operates as a cafe and light brunch place in the mornings, and a dim, moody vibe with a full bar in the evenings. All the workers here are really nice and approachable. When coming in, there are menus by the front door. When I went, it was around 11am on a Sunday, so it was pretty crowded. They have a food pop-up in the back patio that rotates between vendors, to my understanding. The back seating area is covered and has two space heaters nearby. Lots of fun things to choose from on the menu. I got an Irish Coffee, would highly recommend!

Service was great, and we arrived too late for food but would love to come back to try some bites. It wasn't overly busy for a Friday, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the space. The ambiance is one of my favorite parts it had warm lighting, great music, and the disco ball adds such a fun touch. Parking in this area is tough but worth it. Will definitely be back soon!

    Great Rooftop Lounge for Date Night and Socializing…read more I visited 54thirty Rooftop Lounge for a date night and had a great experience. When we arrived, most of the covered seating and heater areas were already taken, so we ended up sitting in one of the uncovered sections. As it turned out, that was a blessing because the views were amazing. From where we were seated, we had beautiful views of downtown Denver and the surrounding cityscape. Between the skyline, lights, and rooftop atmosphere, it created a memorable evening. What impressed me most was the ambiance. The lounge had a lively but relaxed energy, and people were friendly and approachable. It felt like the kind of place where you could enjoy a date, meet new people, network, or simply unwind with friends over drinks and conversation. My date ordered food, but I honestly don't remember everything he had. I wasn't particularly impressed with the food, but since this is a rooftop lounge, the atmosphere was really the star of the show for me. Overall, I enjoyed the experience and would return for the views, the social atmosphere, the drinks, and the opportunity to meet interesting people. Perfect for: Date nights, networking, socializing, drinks with friends, and enjoying Denver's skyline.

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.

I had the eggs Benedict with duck, which was savory and tender- would get again, even if it was a little small for a $22 meal. I also got a mimosa and a raspberry beret- the beret was delicious and served with the coolest presentation- they used dry ice to create smoke! The decor is very maximalist mid century- love it! Great for a date or if you are impressing someone. Don't let the location scare you off- everything around it looks closed but once you get inside it's absolutely beautiful. I can't end this review without gushing about the staff. I had a weird fainting episode and scared the crap out of my friend- our server and the rest of the staff were on it, so sweet and helpful. They got me a cold towel and an ice bucket so that I could recover. I was so impressed by how they handled everything! Ultimately, I would come back just for the service, but the food and drinks were excellent as well. Definitely worth returning for!

We also ordered appetizers of the burrata and the sweet potato croquette. Burrata is always fantastic! The croquettes were good. They were doing Star Wars themed drinks for May the 4th so Star Wars was playing in a screen (that you could barely see due to the sun). They both got the red velvet espresso martini topped with whipped coffee. It was cute but very sugary. Service was fantastic! The staff was so nice!! Maybe I'm just not used to inflation yet but the prices for everything just felt so expensive!!

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.

    I've been here twice now, and it's officially one of my favorite spots near Union Station. If…read moreyou're looking for a lively, affordable night out, this is it. Atmosphere: The theme here is so cool! It's all about Abraham Lincoln but with a modern, artistic twist. There's really neat artwork everywhere showing different looks of Lincoln. It feels like a true old timey speakeasy. It gets very busy after 8 PM, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but the energy inside is awesome. Price: This is the most budget-friendly spot I've found in the area. Almost everything is $5! It is CASH ONLY, but don't worry if you forget. They have an ATM inside for you to use. Drink: I ordered the Continental, which is their take on an Old Fashioned with a black cherry. It was delicious and definitely didn't taste like a cheap drink despite the price point. Service: Despite how packed it was, the service was incredibly fast. We got our drinks in maybe 2-3 minutes tops. The staff is efficient and friendly. Overall Experience: Whether you're visiting and staying near Union Station or just looking for a fun local getaway, I highly recommend this place. We walked from our hotel, but if you drive, be prepared to look for street parking or a garage. It's fun, cheap, and has great theme nights. I'll definitely be back!
