Ambiance is everything you expect a speakeasy to be. It's dark and intimate. The menu is big with a lot of creative options. Service is extremely friendly!

Union Lodge No. 1 was a great experience!…read more We all ordered a new drink each time and selection is so large that nobody ever repeated a drink order! The server was very knowledgeable about all of the drinks and she encouraged us to order different things based on our personal likes even though she was fairly new serving at Union Lodge. Check this spot out. It would be great for a small group of friends or a couples spot to check out.

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.

They are a really well oiled machine, taking great care of everyone - at the bar, along the back wall and at the tables in the rear. The drinks? Really, really good - creative and inspired.

They aren't overly sweet, especially considering all the fun flavors they have! The espresso flavor came through, and it actually tasted like a well-made cocktail instead of just a sugary coffee drink. It's clear they put thought into getting the flavors right. I've been on a mission to try as many espresso martinis in Denver as I can, and this one is currently at the top of my list. If you're an espresso martini fan, this is definitely one I'd recommend trying. As a plus, the red/dark lighting adds such a fun ambiance and they have pool tables and a newly added vintage Photo Booth! The food is also SO good considering this is a cocktail bar. Don't skip the lobster :) Good service too!! I wish I remembered the name of the server I always have, she's the best!

It can be hard not to make espresso martinis bitter, she used Mr. Black liquor in it and it was awesome. This place gives me bookstore speakeasy vibes.

That kind of girl power is hard to find so I felt safe - but you could also tell that for a Wednesday night this place has a community and people know each other. Def check it out!

That's when I came across Dearly Departed and I'm so glad I did. We arrived right when they opened at 5pm and were able to walk in and be seated immediately. The speakeasy is tucked into the underground portion of the restaurant, which adds to the charm. The space is beautifully decorated, moody, intimate, and effortlessly upscale. It truly sets the tone the moment you walk down. We ordered two spritzes and a charcuterie board, and both exceeded expectations. The drinks were refreshing, perfectly balanced, and felt elevated without being overcomplicated. But the real star was the charcuterie board. For $20, it was an incredible value, stacked with a variety of meats, cheeses, fresh veggies, nuts, and peppers. The freshly grilled bread was a standout touch, and the portions were more than generous. Every bite felt thoughtfully curated, and there was something new and delicious in every corner of the board. Between the ambiance, the quality of the drinks, and the impressive food, Dearly Departed delivered an experience that felt both cozy and refined. I'd absolutely recommend checking it out for the atmosphere alone. I'm already looking forward to going back and trying more from their menu.

Laid back vibe and welcoming staff. Nothing pretentious at all. The bartenders were knowledgeable and gave great suggestions. Always stayed on top of my drinks. The thing I like most about Death & Co is the way the categorize their drinks: Light and playful, bright and confident, elegant and timeless, boozy and honest, and rich and comforting. I had the aqua profunda (cognac, St. George basil eau di vie, lillet rose, strawberry, lime, and absinthe). I also had the eight limb daiquiri (rum, Canada aguardiente, Thai tea cordial, lime leaf, and Maraschino). The Blood Oath (mezcal, Vecchio del capo, Calabrian chili amaro, St. Germain Elderflower, lavender, honey, lemon). All were complex and delicious. You could pick out every flavor, yet everything melded together so well. They also have some basic bar food and snacks, but somewhat elevated. I had the D&C Burger and it was juicy, rich, and had some great accompanying fries. I usually try to give a more in depth idea of cocktails available, but Death & Co has such a diverse menu with so many amazing craft cocktails that I can't offer that this time . . . you'll have to go in and see it for yourself!
