So fun! Wonderful ambiance/vibes and fun cocktails, with lots of little spaces to wander through.

First year in CO and this little bar is a game changer. Great aesthetic, kind people, and restrooms are accessible for everyone. Back patio is a nice bonus! Highly recommend. read more

Such a vibey bar! We went late Friday night and it was nice to have a cool place to drink and catch up with friends in town. Would go again!

Great vibes for the MFT dance parties. Crafty cocktails, lovely vibes, and so so much fun at the Ft Greene. I love that it a woman owned business and that another women owned business uses them for their parties. Good drinks for $12 are hard to come by these days and this place has it! This would also make for a lovely book club night, bridal shower, etc. read more

Fort Greene - Moms Feeling Themselves party. A do not miss! - Beer Gardens Near Me - Denver, Colorado

We went to Fort Greene on a Saturday night around 11:30, and we didn't have to pay a cover. A DJ was performing, and the bar had plenty of people dancing, but it wasn't too crowded--it was just right. What makes this bar stand out is its decor: hanging plants, hanging paper decorations, lit candles, books, a piano, interesting art, retro furniture, etc. There are a few different rooms to choose from, plus an outdoor patio. The vibes here were very cool, and people were dressed in a funky way. I'd recommend this place for a night out! read more

Love Fort Greene! Great service, friendly staff, and a very clean atmosphere. I went on Thursday for a dating group event, and it was a great experience. The crowd was young, vibrant, and welcoming. Everyone was so friendly and kind. I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere and look forward to coming back again. read more

What a vibe!! Rare that you find yourself at a neighborhood bar, and even if you don't live the area, they make ya feel like ya do! I'm a beer drinker, so the ice cold Budweiser was great, ha! Such a cool space, and such a rad staff! Truly feels like a community establishment, seems rare these days. read more

Super cute bar. Strange area of town but loves the ambience on the inside. Very antique furniture. Drinks were excellent. Prices were reasonable. read more

Fort Greene - Beer Gardens Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Fort Greene is a great, inclusive cocktail bar in Globeville. Its friendly bartenders serve up strong cocktails in an eclectic setting. Paper poppies hang from the ceiling in the main room to match the beautiful red lamps over the bar. If you want to venture in further, there are other rooms with couches and skeletons of old tv sets, wicker chairs in a room with lights that look like floating clouds, or their patio. Super cool, chill place to grab a drink and hang out. read more

Love this place! Such a cute and unique bar! And you can grab a bite to eat for a good price! Follow them on instagram to see if they have any concerts coming up! read more

We were SO BLESSED to be welcomed to have our baby shower at Fort Greene! They offer special event booking, and we were thrilled when we were able to save a spot! This was the perfect place for our friends and family to meet. The decor, plants, lighting, back porch, everything was exactly what we wanted. The rental rate was very affordable, and great access to lots of parking and the highway for guests traveling in. We preferred an alcohol free shower, and they had plenty of NA options on the menu for our guests! We were allowed to bring in our own caterer for breakfast things, as well as coffee. They even recommended a photographer from the community to take photos-which turned out so beautiful! I could keep going with my gratitude, but I highly suggest you take the time to check out this venue yourself. They get booked up quickly in the warm months, so reach out early to save your space! read more

I've been meaning to write this for a while. I have been bugging my husband to come here. He finally took me and exceeded my expectations. Eleanor the owner was very sweet. I commented on the incense that was burning and she gave me two to take home. Who does that? She also recommended a cocktail in a can that I absolutely loved . I don't think you get this kind of service in a corporate establishment. That's why I love. Places like this I will definitely be going back and telling people I already have. I hope you catch some business. thank you. read more

Great bar with comfortable decor, delicious cocktails, and a solid selection of spirits.

Love this place for the quality drinks, unique ambiance, and great service. If you need a snack after drinks, you can order from the kitchen window. I haven't tried the food but hear it's decent. read more

Nicole made the best old fashioned I've ever had, and she made my husband some magic thing that I don't think had a name but was amazing. The atmosphere is glorious, the music is vibey and fun, and we adore the little love seats where we can sit close and enjoy great drinks. read more

We had our wedding reception here and it was PERFECT. The owner was accommodating and very easy to communicate with. The people who worked our event were very kind and helpful. The night was amazing and we are forever grateful!!!!! read more

Fort Greene - Beer Gardens Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The drinks were a bit expensive, and poured right out of a pre-mixed container, but they were incredible. The space seems simple at first, but building has small pockets for people to sit in throughout, and a back patio area with live DJ that was spinning it up with drum and bass even at 8pm. Really enjoyed the vibe, and will certainly go again if I'm looking for drinks back in the area. read more

The perfect mesh for dive bar beers or if you prefer upscale cocktails. This place will make you feel like you're stealing booze and hiding in your grandma's basement with your cousins during a horrible yet fun family reunion read more

Very hip spot, COVID friendly, and live music! I came here to meet with some friends to celebrate a birthday! I've never been here before and was pleasantly surprised! Fort Greene accommodated a group of around 20 people to spend time in their outdoor patio. Other patrons had plenty of seating and there was not a long line at the bar. This spot is known for their cocktails! They have a great selection and the prices are reasonable for the quality! We did not stay long enough to see the music act, but they were setting up inside in a very well decorated room! We would definitely return read more

Fort Greene - Inside - Beer Gardens Near Me - Denver, Colorado

One of my favorite bars in Denver. I feel perpetually uncool here, which I think is a sign of a good bar, imho. Super rad ambiance, good drinks, extremely cool bartenders, and usually a nice chill vibe. read more

I finally made it to Fort Greene after a year of wanting to go! I had received a gift card for my birthday last year but of course dumb Covid has kept me away until now. Descreet building across from Globe Hall- could be easy to miss if you didn't know what you were looking for but that adds to the charm! The interior makes you feel like you're at an eclectic great aunt's house, and not in a bad way. A super cozy space with craft cocktails and a cool ambiance. I wasn't overwhelmed but the cocktails, but they were good. Their merch is super cool too- love that they leveraged their architecture in the design. Can't wait to come back in warmer weather! read more

Fort Greene - Beer Gardens Near Me - Denver, Colorado

A hidden gem. It's been around for years but I would have never known this place existed if it wasn't listed as one of the best dive bars in Denver on Thrillist. Thank heavens for the internet! The building exterior is very deceiving especially because it's in a more "industrial" area. But you walk in and it's SUPER cute, cozy, and eclectic - every room is designed a bit different with sort of vintage theme. Highly recommended and their drinks are fabulous. Go if you want quality drinks + cool photo opps. It's an influencer's dream - you can probably find a million photos of the bar's interior on the gram. read more

This place is a hit or miss. There is sometimes a level of unapproachability to the bartenders that perplexes me. Kind of stand-offish. I mean this is a bar in the hood, but I rarely see any people from the actual neighborhood in there. But hipster vibes abound. I hate hipster vibes. The crowd is the same too, slightly standoffish, then a few cool, welcoming people mixed in. Again- quasi hipster feels...have met some really down to earth chill people, but the past couple of times, man many folks are just kind of snobby, acting like they are too cool. They have some really great dj's though! read more

This place is completely unassuming and so wonderful. The bar area is small but there are a lot of different seats all over. I got to try a few cocktails - I loved the Greenpointe and the Ode de Guthrie. Both were so unique! The Greenpointe is my favorite - the green chartreuse with the rye was an unexpected and delicious concoction. read more

I found out about this place about a week ago and just happened to be in the area this past weekend so I popped in. Granted it wasn't in the busy time of day but the second you walk you the vibe captures you. It feels like you've gone back in time and that you actually are at a speakeasy. Very quickly, we discovered two more rooms in the back and a patio. We had the attention of the owner, Aaron, so we got some history on the place. We had a good conversation with Eleanor, who bartended at the previous bar at this location. And later Aaron's brother, Bretton, introduced himself. He is the chef and apparently the food is amazing but we didn't have any. We did, however, have two drinks and both were pretty spot on. There is no question I want to come back one night and get the real vibe when it's full and also have a chance to try some of the amazing food. When that happens, I will have a chance to upgrade this rating. read more

Despite everyone else's love for this little place, I wasn't all that impressed. Sure, the drinks are hand crafted/fancy/delicious, and the staff is really friendly(and know their booze), but the space and location are just odd. Totally unmarked, it's easy to pass this place and drive along a completely unlit road, under the highway viaduct. In fact, we missed it at first, turned around and missed it again! We weren't even sure it was the right location when we parked, as there was NO signage and dimly lit! Although I'm a fan of the historic features of this house-turned-bar (super historic and cool), I didn't really fancy the area (although I know it's gaining more attention and great restaurants!), and don't see myself going out of my way to come here. Sorry Fort Greene. read more

10/10 vibes, I love it here. My girlfriends and I love this place, one of my favorite spots ever. Dancing is intimate and vibey. DJs are always playing funk bangers. The ambiance and decor is eclectic and beautiful. Drinks are fab. Love everything about it. read more

My biggest regret is that I don't live in Denver because I am truly jealous I do not have a place like this in my city! Fort Greene is a rare gem that exceeds all your expectations in terms of ambiance, cocktails and staff. The cocktails are creative, unique and unbelievably delicious, there is truly something there for everyone. The community and events genuinely make Fort Greene a place that one must visit over and over again. I can't say enough about this place except for that if you are in Denver you MUST visit! read more

A Denver gem for sure. Absolutely love the vibes in this place and want to move in ASAP. This gorgeous place is hidden in the little neighborhood of Globeville. This hood has been isolated from Denver since its creation but is slowly picking up a life of its own thanks to the cultural renaissance that is happening in Denver now. There are three different rooms to this place and a backyard patio that will be amazing in the summer. Order the first whiskey drink on their menu and you will not be disappointed. Not a place to go before a night on the town as it is out of the way- but I don't believe that is the purpose for this beautiful hangout at all anyways. Globehall concert venue is right across the street so stop by here first before making your way over to the tunes. I hope to venture in here again soon as it cures all my VIBE addictions. read more

From the moment the creaky front door opened and the smells of a hundred years kicked me in the face I loved this bar. I bellied up to the bar and looked at my reflection is the hazy mirror on the back bar. All I could think was wow, this place is amazing. My friend had told me great things about their cocktails and I was excited to give them a try. The best metric for me is an old fashioned. So that's what I ordered. Haley mixed me a perfect house old fashioned that I enjoyed so much I just had to have another before we skated out to dinner. I'm looking forward to returning to try some of their other house cocktails and an order of their cheese curds which I hear are amazing. read more

Recently we had the opportunity to swing into Fort Greene and meet our new Community Manager! ++ The drinks! Great expertly crafted concoctions! I sipped on the Night Queen which was a tasty mix of Bulleit rye bourbon, peach bitters, ginger, and lemon. Sooo delish! ++ While I personally didn't partake in any of the food offerings on my visit, several others did and it looked (and smelled) amazing. Truffle fries anyone? ++ The space is super unique! With lots of little nooks and crannies to get lost in. There are several velvet couches, fabulous wallpaper, plus an ornate art-deco style back bar. Love it! ++ The location isn't the easiest to find since it's unmarked and you're not even sure you're opening the front door when you arrive. But all this contributes to it being a hidden gem in the Globeville/RiNo neighborhood! I def want to come back and check it out with a smaller group. To get the more one-on-one intimate experience! read more

FAVORITE. BAR. EVER. Awesome cocktails in a beautiful historic bar? Super rad bartenders and owners? A disco ball?! It doesn't get much better than this, folks. Fort Greene is one of my top local hangs, and I'm surprised that it's still one of Denver's best kept secrets. I'm completely in love with the aesthetic in this bar--gorgeous wallpaper, velvet couches, and plants aplenty. Grab a cheap dad beer or ask Lawrence to mix you something nice--his cocktails are boozy magic. Check out their Instagram to keep up with DJ nights, movie screenings, and other fun hangs. read more

Great atmosphere and they host some really cool events. Good vibes here. Definitely worth a visit!

Oh man, this is better than any speakeasy. No passwords, no secret handshake, no bartenders in suspenders or "Newsies" outfits. Just a cool, 1930's bar with classic cocktails and no pretension. A friend of mine tipped me off about Fort Greene and I'm so glad she looped me in on what a cool new spot this was in Denver. Yeah, the neighborhood isn't so great, but compared to other rougher cities (St. Louis, San Francisco), this ain't bad at all. I even waited outside for my Uber to arrive in the dark and it was fine. What's inside? A swanky, green/black/white art deco hangout when you first walk inside. Beautiful mahogany bar and with plenty of booze. Grab a seat on a velvet couch and start your night with a stiff drink. If you feel inclined to stick around later, there's a back room with a disco ball and either a DJ or live music. There's a limited food menu but I didn't go there this visit. Just a New York sour and some fun company. Fort Greene is good for drinks, ambiance and making friends. It's like a fancy Cheers! read more

What a neat spot! I've only been in the summer time/warmer weather and the windows are open like a southern restaurant with the plantation type shutters. They have plants everywhere and the decor is all green. The name is not on the outside, so it feels like a hidden gem in Globeville. The bartenders are always friendly and nice and make a mean cocktail. I love going here and don't go enough. read more

Not a fan of places that burn incense, but despite that, this place has a unique charm to it. They happened to be on the Denver Passport circuit for 2016, and my gal and I stopped in to take advantage of 2 for 1 fancy cocktails. The drinks were well made, and the room, while very sparse, is quite cozy. There are a couple of fun rooms in the back for seating as well as a very nice outdoor seating area. The food we tried was so-so... We got nachos and cheese curds. The curds were pretty good, but the nachos lacked on flavor a bit (though a huge portion). All in all, this place is A-OK. read more

This place has amazing potential! The building itself has great character; they kept the 100 year old bar & many original lighting fixtures, perfect for an unassuming, relaxed speakeasy. They have a good sized patio and rumor has it they have something very fun planned for the back room! They have only been open 3 weeks, so the drink menu and spirits are simple, but creative! Our bartender made a kick-a Old Fashioned & the Sheboygan Old Fashioned (on the menu) was equally delicious! We didn't get to try any food, but the head chef did come and chat with us. The plan is to keep the menu simple;1/2 chicken, oysters, etc AND...cheese curds!! The food I did see come out of the kitchen looked beautiful & smelled tasty. Both the owner & chef were incredibly friendly. They sealed the experience. Fort Greene offers a really unique atomsphere and it's definitely worth checking out! read more

I'm glad this is near home. They're under new ownership, so my food review is now irrelevant. But I can say that the new owner's fried cheese is even better than the previous version. Cocktails are good, and that's really the reason togo. The space is small and reminds me of old East Coast bars in old buildings. There's a patio for good weather. But if you visit in winter, bundle up. The heat hasn't been on when I've gone, and it wasn't crowded enough to generate a lot of body heat. Service is relaxed and friendly. I look forward to seeing what the new owner does with the menu. read more

Interesting bar in an interesting hood. Ft Greene was in the Winter Warmer passport so we gave it a go. We stopped by on a weeknight & it was reasonably busy, not by no means packed. The bartender greeted us right away and took our order as soon as we were ready. Hubs grabbed a beer & I grabbed a cocktail. The beer itself was a tasty local out of Boulder. The cocktail was the warmer special which seemed a little off balance. One mixer/alcohol was far more prominent that another. The overall ambiance and look for the bar are cool and cozy. The place was a little chilly, as another commenter mentioned, almost as though they forgot it was January! We sat in the back room which was a little chillier, but had a nice seating area. The patio looks amazing- can't wait for the warmer months to roll around! I gave this bar 4 stars because it's gives me a lot of hope for the neighborhood! The people (from the tenders to the patrons) aren't pretentious like other bars/neighborhoods & the service was pretty decent when we went. read more

I like a place that's different. And Fort Greene is one of those places...it's got all the good vibes. I'm a little ashamed to admit that I'd heard of this place a few times and just never made it happen. Then, while flipping through our Denver drinking passport one snowy evening, we decided to make the trek to Fort Greene. For us, it's a bit of trek, but oh-so-worth-it. It was one of those evenings with crazy snow which meant the place was EMPTY. As in completely, totally all to ourselves. As we walked in, I noticed the beautiful, intricate wooden bar, and I was hooked. It's one of a kind. Then, add to that the unique pieces, including their tap, and hanging plants galore. *swoon* All the vibes. Couches and other cozy ways to lounge that you can get lost in...wallpaper that is a bit reminiscent of your grandma's house but it just WORKS here...flora and fauna everywhere...perfection. When it comes to drinks, go with a classic. Hard to miss when the bartenders are as knowledgeable as they are here. We also ordered the tots, because yes. They did not disappoint. (Sidenote--on select nights, you can get some Longipie options. Also delish!) Why do we keep going back? The vibes; the service, the bar, the drinks. That first night resulted in fabulous conversation and we were well cared for. When we mentioned the next spot we were headed, the bartender mixed up a boomerang for us to pass along at the next bar. Now that's fun! read more
