Cocktail Bars near Aurora

“Had no idea this existed until a friend’s birthday party: located on 3rd floor of Stanley Markerplace. Speakeasy vibe with unique cocktails, knowledgable mixologists, and some pretty yummy oysters !! Great little spot. Probably only fits 15 or so people in the whole place so it’s very intimate for a small gathering or date night.“

“Simply put amazing, you can be fully entertained“

“Definitely recommend! Some of the best Indian food I have had and the owner personally made my favorite dish baingan bharta and it was incredible! I have a new favorite Indian restaurant“

“We had the best service I have had since moving to Colorado. The food was incredible. The service was top-notch. It is my favorite place for a special date night or for when friends & family come into town.“

“Intimate restaurant that serves delicious food. The servers Josh & Schafer are extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The service is phenomenal! Bettola catered a party for me and did a spectacular job!“

“Came in for a late lunch and tried the Chuck Wagon burger on this visit. The shredded beef on top of what is already a stellar angus patty was delicious. Leslie “Mama” was attentive and a pleasure to have on the other side of the bar. Will definitely be back!“

“went with a friend. never again! was told it would be a 30min wait it looked not very busy. waited 45min to be seated. (The host seemed like she did not like her job at all) i ordered the avocado toast w/ side of bacon. the arugula piled high ruined the taste of meal, the tomatoes sliced where not ripe too hard to chew, the bacon was hard like it had been sitting around for a while. and the bread was thick and dry with barely any avocado. my friends meal all American breakfast cold potatoes and not good food she barely ate any of it. no apologies just an over worked waitress. ive been to syrup (different place) before way better food and service worth the extra drive!!!!“

“Came in for lunch and had us on the wait-list before we even arrived but once arrived noticed 2 tables outside of the restaurant area. We ended up sitting there when our table was ready, it felt extremely awkward to be seated away from the restaurant along with being in front of the patio door that people were using.“

“Great product. Nice people. My extremely discerning guests have confirmed that the ease of serving this Classic Manhattan has not compromised its quality. I keep this product on hand to welcome unexpected guests and to offer a quality cocktail at impromptu gatherings.“

“It was my first time going here. We didn’t have reservations so we had to sit either at the bar or outside with heaters. We chose bar. It was so cool to see the kitchen making food, and the cooks are so great. It looks like they enjoy their job bc they were smiling and laughing and I personally appreciate that. We ordered the calamari which was 10/10 and fish and chips which was also 10/10. We got 2 beers with our meal and the key lime pie which was 7/10 bc it had a ton of whipped cream on top. So it came out to close to $100. This is definitely my fish and chips spot from now on! Also shout out to Jenny our waitress, she was incredibly sweet!“

“omg, you have to find this place. text ahead to make reservations. the hostesses and our sever Liam were great. Liam recommended the perfect drink for me. just tell him what you're in the mood for, and he'll zero in on a perfect drink. You sure feel like you're in the 20s and doing something you shouldn't be doing when trying to find the place to walking down the dingy halls to the bar itself. Worth it. Great for date night. Note: just do what you're told, have patience, and a have a great time.“

“This is one of my favorite places in Denver. Get the Froze - trust me. It will become your go to drink. The beet hummus is delicious. There isn't a great view of the mountains, but the atmosphere is still good. Service can sometimes be a bit slow, even when they are adequately staffed, but it's still a great scene and perfect place to bring out of town guests.“

“Incredible cocktails- super inventive / creative. Dr p was awesome as was the chile , avocado and many more. The 90s music was amazing and the vibe was so fun. The bartenders are probably some of the best in the city and are so fast at making drinks !! Really really cool spot“

“My DU student and I recommend everything! The food is amazing (I recommend the eggplant Ragu), the price is right, and the family that owns and works are lovely and want everyone to be happy and to enjoy their food. It’s amazing!“

“You guys charged my card NINE times tonight for my one bill, turning my $37 bill until $333 and now won’t answer your phone. Your bartenders were taking shots at the bar, which I usually don’t care about but now I can see they can’t handle their booze. 20% gratuity was included on my bill before I checked out, assuming now the bartenders are now getting that 20% of the $333.“

“we had such an amazing experience for Mother's day brunch. We look forward to returning for dinner.“

“The food is amazing and the place is beautiful“

“Incredible food. Amazing service. A perfect meal!!! Trust the waiters to bring you just the right dish. Perfection!“

“5/5 for sure. Like nothing else I’ve ever had before. I throughly enjoyed every bit of my meal!“

“everything is fresh and made it with love ❤️“

“Fun place for outings, lots to do“

“This restaurant is a true celebration of world flavors. The momo dumplings were tender, juicy, and packed with savory goodness. The butter chicken was rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The Thai green curry was a standout—aromatic, comforting, and full of fresh herbs and coconut flavor. Each dish honored its roots while coming together in a beautifully curated menu. The staff was warm and attentive, and the cozy ambiance made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for anyone who loves bold, authentic flavors and heartfelt hospitality!“

“delicious, fresh and and an excellent service, highly recommended!“

“This place is all the things that you think you want in a local establishment: nicely priced food, wine, and neighborhood atmosphere. Plus they are dawg friendly ♥️. Yeah. You should go.“

“YUM. Love the food, especially the salads (don't skip the tater-tots). The people are friendly and the restaurant is clean. If you are in a rush, run in for pick-up instead of getting stuck in the drive-thru, but in general, their food comes out fast.“

“Ollie and Park's is a wonderful addition to the 17th Street neighborhood. The food is consistently well prepared and the staff at the highest level of customer service. So happy they are here!!“

“Delicious food, friendly service“

“Excellent food! The service was amazing and fast. We will definitely come back.“

“I’ve worked in the service industry my entire life and I get goosebumps thinking about the food at Sap Sua. It’s the place I come to when I want to specifically remember a meal with my partner, friends or family because I can taste the love in the food and feel the love at the table.

The service is always joyous and convenient and I’m always excited to dry a different cocktail whenever I come. I have heard rumors that the management and chefs treat the staff well, but the sincere attitude of the entire establishment would be proof of that enough. Any neighborhood in the world would and should be proud to have a place like Sap Sua nearby (even though they are dodger and laker fans).“

“The first time we went, last year, it was such a great time and overall experience but this last was nothing even close. It was so busy that you couldn’t get a drink or golf. The bathroom had to be cleaned because someone urinated everywhere.
Not sure we will return….“

“Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and inventive cocktails. Recently hosted an event there and was so impressed with Marshall and how helpful he and Kayla were through the whole process. Lovely place to grab a drink with friends! 10/10 Santé!“

“Overall a great time. The interior is cozy and cute, the staff is kind, and the drinks and food are tasty and reasonably priced. The strawberry shortcake for dessert is a must along with the handmade pasta. Would also recommend the Alla Vodka sauce!“

“Great menu, food was delicious, service was great. Will definitely come again, and also recommend.“

“Equal parts hip and cozy with welcoming lighting, old movies playing on the TV in the corner of the bar and always tasteful music playing which makes this a great place to meet up with friends for great cocktails and conversation. There's an outdoor patio that is lovely on warm days tucked away just enough that the traffic doesn't bother, but still feels urban. Happy hour has incredible prices on food and inventive, local cocktails. Every one of the mussel recipes is great and I love their shoestring fries plain, or dressed up in the many options they offer. The eggplant puree is a great accompaniment to any visit. I can't say enough how thoughtfully this place was put together. I also have to mention that as someone who enjoys meeting up with friends, but also likes to go to places to read alone, Dew Drop is perfect for either of these. Very grateful to have this place in the neighborhood!“

“I’m from Chicago and love gourmet dining in that city. Imagine my surprise when I entered the wine bar at Satchel’s with a group of friends to be seated for a wedding luncheon that began with the first of seven tasting courses of food that was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! Andrew, the chef/owner, is not only innovative with ingredients, but he and his staff really care about their customers’ pleasure and comfort. If I am ever able to return to the Denver area again, Satchel’s will be my first go-to destination. The luncheon was 1st class all the way.“

“Sparkles Vibe! The fresh food was amazing, the service was impeccable, and it's such a fun atmosphere!“

“The appetizer came out moments after ordering. That was amazing. The burgers were delicious, juicy, well seasoned and cooked to my liking. Fries were crispy and that ranch dressing was phenomenal. 12/10 would recommend. Kaye, our server was a delight. Very friendly and quick with a refill.“

“We had a delicious meal with Margaritas the other night. Raphael was very courteous and welcoming.
I had Chicken Mole Tacos that were extremely savory. Each bite revealed that the chef knew what he was doing, and what he wanted this dish to taste like.
We met Gabi, the manager and she was delightful. We had watched her graciously deal with some obnoxious customers at the next table and we were astounded at her calm, helpful, caring attitude with folks we could see were purposely acting very unpleasantly.
We chatted with Gabi afterward and found her charming and gracious.
She and Rapheal are one of the reasons we continue to go back.
Savory, well planned and prepared food and a welcoming, comfortable staff are exactly what we always find at Bodega. I would expect this type of service at a big, exclusive, fancy restaurant. It is a rare treat to find such a professional atmosphere in a smaller, economical restaurant in Glendale.
Congratulations and Thank you Gabi and Raphael. I am the one who chooses Bodega Taco now; even though my lady brought me here initially.
You now have TWO converts!
Terry and Leslie.“

“Food was great, Service was great, but trying to get around and park was a total mess. Don't like the location. Castle Rock folks can have it to themselves.

Parking: The area it is located in is just a mess for traffic and getting around. The circle drives cause a lot of issues.“

“Dan was awesome, they weren’t open but he booked a private tour with us and gave us a complete tour of the faculties and gave us a complete tasting, then spent a half hour serving us at the bar and gave top service. Will definitely be back. Pickle shot was amazing. Sorry my grammar is bad I’m kinda buzzed ngl.“

“Peckish is the best place to come for good vibes, amazing food, and even better people. The bartenders are all spectacular and make drinks to perfection. The pizza and wings are 10/10 with the pizza being cooked better than anywhere else I’ve been and the wings being crispy, juicy, and delectable. The meatball sliders are a personal favorite and definitely a must order! This place is a MUST visit, you will be so happy you stopped in!“

“Snooze is a fantastic place for breakfast. Normally there is a bit of a wait because it is very popular restaurant but today we were able to get in pretty quickly. Our waiter, Omar, was fantastic, he did a great job of ensuring that we were happy with our food and went above and beyond to ensure that our experience here was great. Probably some of the best service I have ever had“

“Love this historic spot... and, one of my favorite burgers in Denver. great for sports especially DU hockey and they have ca solid menu. Check it out!“

“North Italia didn't disappoint when it came to pasta. The bolognese was amazing! The fresh noodles stood out. I was hesitant when the bread came dipped in balsamic and oil but it was delicious except for being burnt. Cocktail was good. The banana coffee cake left a lot to be desired in flavor and being served cold. Waitress was attentive.Overall will be back to try more pasta.
Came back for the bolognese definitely delicious with more meat sauce this time was a definite plus. Bread wasn't burnt and was very delicious with a side of balsamic.“

“Patrick (the host) was amazing! Very much appreciated his kindness and great service. I will definitely come here again on my next trip to/through Denver. Kassandra was a wonderful and attentive server!“

“Thoroughly impressed with this place. My wife and I both got the el Diablo burger with a side of fries with queso green chili.. holy smokes so damn good. On top of the food being amazing the price was solid and customer service was top-notch. Everyone is so friendly. Will be back 100%“

“I always feel like I'm back in Miami when I eat here. Everything is perfect.“

“great place for great music!“

“🎉Happy Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽🇲🇽😋😋“
