Delicious cocktails and a welcoming atmosphere! My partner and I started with the Bubbly Barker, a lavender-lemon twist on a classic gin and tonic, and the Strawberry Pupsour, made with fresh lemon, strawberry syrup, and a foamy egg white. We asked the bartender to surprise us with the next round of drinks. Each drink was expertly balanced, with the Strawberry Pupsour being my favorite. All cocktails are crafted with Spirit Hound liquor, resulting in bright, flavorful drinks that range from light to sweet. We visited on a Friday and caught their stand-up comedy night! They also host game nights, cocktail classes, clothing swaps, and more. read more

Spirit Hound Distillers - Toasted Irishman & In the Air Tonight - Distilleries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

My check-in said, "When the Spirit Hounds you to drink to keep you warm" this is a place to go. Spirit Hound really means what their sign outside says - "Come on in. Hang out." Such a lovely tasting room in the Highlands filled with humorous and cute dog decor with a very chill vibe. Creative cocktails are offered and their spirits are proudly displayed in a giant barrel shelf behind the bar. Staff are friendly AND talented. They don't just mix the cocktails, they even offer cocktail classes every Saturday from 1-3pm and on Thursday evenings. Most cocktails will run you around $12 and are seasonal offerings divided up based on spirit (gin, whisky, vodka, other spirits). I had to try the Colorado Carajillo as the carajillo is becoming one of my favorite flavor profile drinks. The Apple Chai Moonarita was a fun blend of their Apple infused White Dog Moonshine, chai syrup, orange liqueur, and fresh lemon. Even though it was a cold drink it was perfect for the polar vortex weather outside and warmed me up. I will definitely be back to try more cocktails and test my skills at one of their cocktail classes. read more

The Lyons location is the OG, but sometimes that's a bit far. Great Denver outpost! Same amazing whiskey, and the helpful staff has a ton of knowledge around them to guide your experience. Very good cocktails as well that highlight the quality liquor. The vibe blends the brand & the building, modern industrial with some rustic flair. read more

Such a cool place! They have a board of dog photos, the bartenders are smiley and nice, and the drinks are delicious. It's a new ish spot, and is filled with charm! The wood of the barrels everywhere and the displays are so cool. Gotta love a place that loves dogs. The whiskey itself? Carefully crafted and beautifully bottled. Tastes amazing in the cocktail too. Almost no bite at read more

5 stars alone for the hospitality and red carpet treatment. Add in award-winning spirits and a Colorado-themed atmosphere and you're in a local distillery daze of delight. This used to to be the old Mythology space, a distillery I still like to this day. They moved to Steamboat full time, and I was curious who'd take over. Normally, a new place comes in and you're longing for the previous business. Not here. Spirit Hound has brought their A game. They took over right where Mythology left off, and have exceeded expectations for their guests. They have a sizable cocktail menu with barrel selects of their spirits. It was a little too hot outside for me to stick to a spirits flight, but you bet your ass I'll be doing that when it cools down! I stuck with two old fashioneds, one with a bourbon and the other with a rye. They were both excellent! Major props to Vanessa, who guided us into whiskey bliss with her extensive knowledge of the brand and all the incredible whiskey knowledge she provided. They do, in fact, produce other spirits too, not just whiskey! It's nice to see this space alive and well again. Plenty of options for a bite from a local restaurant nearby, then head here for a nightcap. Or start your night here. Do your thing! Just keep it local and support spots like Spirit Hound! read more

So, back when this place was Mythology I came a few times and always enjoyed the libations, service, and ambiance. In that respect, little has changed since it became Spirit Hound. Indeed, it is a worthy "spiritual" successor. Lately, I have been coming for the comedy shows on Friday nights (put on by Cloudy Eyed). Service has been consistently good and so many drinks that I truly enjoy here. The harvest mule, the aviation, those are just a couple of the ones that I really enjoy. All of the classic, booze forward cocktails done here are also quite good. read more

Spirit Hound Distillers - Aviation Cocktail (Batch 13 Gin, fresh lemon, lavender syrup, & Bordeaux cherry juice) - Distilleries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Awesome craft brewery. Fantastic cocktails. Free live comedy. Dropped in for the free Cloudy Eyed Comedy show on a Friday evening. There was plenty of seating available and we parked on the street less than a block away. The comedy show was great. The old fashioned was great, just a classic. The Robert Burns was wonderful, but also very powerful (limit one per person), so be careful! read more

One of my favorite distilleries I've ever been to! Whenever I'm in the area I don't miss the chance to stop by and try their new whiskey selection. They also have very unique cocktails with their own spirits that always impress. Definitely don't miss out when you're driving through!! read more

We participated in a tasting and cocktail class with Vanessa at the Denver tasting room and had a BLAST! It was very informative, we had a great time and Vanessa was a fantastic facilitator. Highly recommended for couples, small friend groups, or anyone looking for a great way to spend a Saturday! The drinks were delicious and recipes were easy to follow and recreate at home! read more

Can I hear it for Vanessa? Seriously. 7 years with this company and her pride for the whiskey they produce and the experience they provide is beaming, and it truly MADE my experience at Spirit Hound. I'm a well "heel"ed (dog pun) whiskey nerd who's typically as skeptical of craft spirits as a dog is of the mail person, but Vanessa made that all fade in just a few minutes with the exceptional service and INCREDIBLE knowledge she shared. I had lots of questions and she was visibly excited to hear them, delivering every answer in the most gleeful way that left me appreciating the work done in this distillery and truly excited about it all. Best of all, as our conversation with her progressed over the the pours, she appreciated the sincere interest and found ways to heighten the experience with surprises along the way that catered to our level of enthusiasm. Seriously. Send her out into the whiskey world. She's one of the most prideful ambassadors I've come across in quite some time. On to the whiskey itself... I've been a fan of the American Single Malt category for a long time. For me, bourbon has become relatively boring, and this represents the next whiskey frontier to be explored. I enjoy celebrating those who have chosen to go in that direction, and Spirit Hound is definitely one of them with a lot of merit in their program. We started with a sample of barrel 401 which lived up to the eloquent tasting notes in the menu and then moved on to sample a few other single barrels of the ASM, followed by a cask strength expression and some rye and bourbon. ASM is where they shine and I really enjoyed all of the ASMs we sampled. The rye hit me in the right way on the nose but left me wanting a bit more on the palate, and the bourbon was a bit lost after the bolder flavors of the others. I'm in the process of backing off the quantity of alcohol I consume for health reasons and Vanessa was able to customize the flight experience to meet the needs and allow me to explore more of what this great distillery has to offer. The service and spirits, and I mean the whiskey and those of the staff here, were all at such a high level here that I can't wait to tell my friends in the area to visit. Truly a remarkable evening, due in very large part to Vanessa. read more

Delicious and adorable. The details involved in making the authentic Spirit Hound cocktails was impressive. The decor is super cute as well, with fun little doggy details adorning nearly every corner of this distillery. They offer several events throughout the week here such as cocktail classes, bingo, trivia, etc. Spirit Hound definitely scores points for a great place for groups and activities in The Highlands. The barkeep was really good at keeping up with everyone's orders. NOTE - there are no waitresses here so you'll need to belly up to the bar to place your order. I tried the Spirit Hound's take on the White Russian - Malted White Russian. I also tried the Hot Peppermint Patty. Good beverages all around. The seating situation is great if you are on the bench side. If not, you are relegated to very uncomfortable bar stools - my only complaint. Would love to visit again in the summer when guest will likely bring their dogs to the "dog library". Will definitely go again when their drink menu is likely to change with the season. Hilarious! read more

Spirit Hound has such a wonderful, welcoming vibe! My husband and I came here on a date night and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We had been here twice before when it was a different distiller and the look was pretty similar, but the overall feel was much more welcoming and the spirits were significantly better! Our bartender was super chill and great to talk to. We'll definitely be back! read more

My friends and I stumbled in for a quick pre-dinner drink and the bartenders immediately greeted us and made us feel welcome. They were so friendly! The excitement surrounding their grand opening in a new location was palpable, and it was fun to be a part of it. Two of us ordered drinks from their grand opening menu, one gin and one vodka, and both were delicious. It was hard to choose - they also had a pineapple rum drink and an Old Fashioned that I need to go back for. One of my friends asked if they could make her a alcohol-free beverage and the bartender was able to whip up a yummy concoction on the spot, which we appreciated! Overall a great little spot and a perfect addition to the neighborhood. We'll be back! read more

Spirit Hound Distillers - She's My Cherry Pie - Distilleries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This review is based on a tasting we did last Friday evening up at Central Park Fine Wine & Spirits. I am horrible and forget the young ladies name that was there on behalf of your distillery but she was great! She had a great personality and really enjoyed educating everyone on your spirits and products. We tried your gin, vodka, cafe Colorado coffee liquor, whisky and honey malt whisky. They all tasted great! The gin and tonic drink was yummy and not too strong flavor (I don't even normally like G&T so that says something!) and she made an espresso martini and it was very good. Some of the gals bought the cafe Colorado to take home! That honey whiskey was a strong one, "it burned so good" was the consensus Haha! We truly appreciated the opportunity to sample these spirits and purchase some for ourselves and also take home some "sweet swag". read more

This is a really fantastic new neighborhood tavern...& everyone should get themselves there to taste their award-winning spirits! Tonight we had an IT networking event here & the space is very accommodating...sit at the bar, or high tables near the front windows, or low tables along the wall, or there's even an ante room for small group gatherings. The bartenders were super friendly, would give tasters, & were more than happy to whip something up if it wasn't on the menu. Had a Bourbon Old Fashioned & custom made White Russian w/their new Cafe Colorado coffee liqueur & both were delicious. Great products. Great service. Great atmosphere.

It's a rare thing in life when you encounter someone who is so dedicated to their craft that they transfer their passion on to you. But I must say we encountered this at this establishment today. The young lady who served us was truly an ambassador for the art of distilling. Spirit Hound is lucky to have her representing their excellent whisky. I am embarrassed I can't remember her name. Vanessa perhaps? We loved the whiskey and loved the establishment. We will definitely return. read more

Spirit Hound Distillers - Distilleries Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Decided to try out this new addition to Sunnyside this weekend and was not dissapointed. I started out with their flagship which is their malt whiskey, ends up being the best whiskey I've ever had then finished it off with some craft cocktails which were equally delicious. Very cozy atmosphere with friendly and knowledgeable staff. I'll surely be visiting spirit hound often and next time I'm buying a bottle of that malt whiskey. read more

Had high hopes for this new place which just opened a couple of blocks from my house in our neighborhood, unfortunately the rudeness, false advertising about being dog friendly, and probably a bit of racial inequality put this place at the bottom list of anywhere I want to be. Please don't believe me go experience it for yourself specially if you are a person of color with a furry pet. For starters, I live three blocks from this place and on my way home from a walk this evening I walked by and saw there was live music and the place although not crowded had a few people so I decided to investigate and from the outside a saw a group of people in their tiny patio with a dog (no water for the dog) and I poked inside to see if there were any other dogs inside before bringing my golden retriever in. While I poked inside I saw a Sheppard dog with a couple seating inside not in the patio close to the garage front door next to the patio, I proceeded to seat in one of the high tables away from the bar with my dog, I was there maybe 5-10 minutes while I looked at the menu, walked to the bar to ask for a drink and seat and be on my way after. Unfortunately, a very rude blonde bartender who as I walked in saw me and was near the other dog who was inside the main room approached me as asked only me not the other people who appeared that were there for awhile as they had a few empty cocktails in front of them if my dog was a service dog? I answered that he was not and she mentioned that dogs only allowed in the patio. I asked her if the other dog inside was a service dog, as I could tell it wasn't and also could tell she was aware that this other dog was inside the main room, she mentioned that she was also going to tell then (meanwhile she has been standing in front of them since I got there and most likely saw them the entire time they were there). I proceeded to go back to my table to pack my wallet, grab my carry bag, sunglasses and leave this rude place while this lady once again tells me that I need to leave.....listen, I know when I am not wanted but obvious display of racial bias was disgraceful for an establishment in a diverse area as the highlands. I can say that this place or at least it's management has no room in our neighborhood! If you want to advertise "dog friendly establishment" make it clear that is only in the patio which is maybe 15 by 5 feet and can maybe accommodate a few people and a couple of dogs. Plenty of pictures of dogs inside but no dogs allowed or sign that says no dogs allow in main room or potentially that is only a rule for people of color. Horrible read more

So glad they have a tasting room in Denver now. Place looks/is awesome, spirits are great. Cory was mixing tasty drinks. Can't wait to come back and try more. Cafe Colorado aka the spirit formally known as Richardo is a must. read more
