50 Best Cocktail Bars near Centennial

“First time visitors to this fine establishment, but it won’t be our last. We had two cocktails, a Churchill’s Breakfast and a Maximillian, both beautifully crafted and presented and absolutely delicious, even at 3:00 on a Thursday afternoon. We followed up with a pour of Le Meilleur and were deeply impressed. We were well taken care of my Taylor, and we left with two bottles of the Churchill’s Breakfast and one of their La Meilleur. This is our new go-to Colorado spirit!“

“Amazing lobster rav special.. the quality of food and service here is top tier! Thankful to have discovered such a place 😇 can’t wait to be back!“

“They have live music and good food“

“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“

“This is one of our favorite restaurants in Colorado. Everything on their menu is amazing but the carnitas tacos are my favorite. Awesome green chili, excellent queso, and the churro ice cream, OMG!

Really though, this review is about one of our favorite people in our lives, Shauna. Shauna is more than just a great server/bartender. Her radiant energy brightens even the most gloomy days. She always makes sure we leave with full bellies and smiling faces. This restaurant would not be the same without her.“

“The" Hot Chick" Sandwich Is FIRE!!!!!“

“Great food, waitress was super nice. Thanks Grace“

“Super good food, amazing waitress and an awesome atmosphere. Highly recommend this place.“

“We had our pre-wedding welcome party at Pretty Neat, and it was the perfect experience! We’ve been coming here since they first opened and absolutely love the entire team.

Xanthus was incredibly helpful throughout the entire planning process and did a fantastic job bartending our event. The atmosphere is wonderful, and the service is always top-notch. I highly recommend Pretty Neat to anyone looking for a great space for a gathering!“

“Wonderful spot. Great drinks & food, people are wonderful who work there“

“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.“

“Love this place!! So fun a laid back!“

“Rocker Spirits was a fantastic find. The staff is incredibly friendly and very knowledgeable about their spirits, which made the experience even better. I also had the chance to meet the owner, who took time to share both the story of the place and his own journey—something you don’t get everywhere.

The cocktails were excellent, and they also have a great selection of bottles available for purchase. If you appreciate quality spirits, good conversation, and a welcoming atmosphere, Rocker Spirits is well worth a visit.“

“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.“

“A place I would hang out at“

“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.“

“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!“

“Best ramen EVER! We stumbled upon Uncle over a decade ago, and since then anytime we’re in CO we come for dinner. The spicy chicken ramen is hands down the best, love all of the bao buns, eggplant is my favorite, but can’t go wrong with crab or pork belly ones either. We’ve never had anything bad, service is always great too! Be sure to make a reservation.“

“Took my wife this evening for her birthday. Our server was Hope, she and all the staff were incredible and worth 10 Stars!!! My wife enjoyed the chicken dinner with steak fries and a salad. it ordered their street food hotdogs, steak fries and a salad. it was actually an incredible sausage appetizer and both meals were huge portions! we started with the Mahi Chichirrones and they were spectacular as was the tartar sauce and the sauces for the chicken. We also ordered the passion fruit drink and the traditional seasoned Peruvian drink with chunks of mango in it. neither were alcoholic and so refreshing! They wanted to play a drum and sing happy birthday with was great as was our Churro which was like no Churro we've ever tasted and as I told Hope, our server we would come there just for the Churro's they were that good! We cannot wait to come back and introduce our friends to this amazing Peruvian Restaurant! Thank you all for a most enjoyable experience“

“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.“

“Went here to try a flight to decide which bottle to buy :) The bartenders and person in the gift shop were all really friendly and our bartender took the time to explain the different whiskies and made some great recommendations.

The bottle I purchased was wrapped up well for travel and was given some tips for best packing :)

Pro tip - order a cocktail to sip between flight tastings ;) The cocktail with the French Melon in it was incredible not overly sweet at all.“

“Delicious food, friendly service“

“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!“

“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!“

“My first time at this barbershop and they made me birthday margaritas while I got a Mohawk mullet. 🥹💇‍♂️ 37 is probably the best birthday yet. 🥰 Front staff Ashley (Thank you for getting me in last minute on my bday) and Bartender Nikki, (Margs were *chefs kiss*)And shout out to my dude Carlos for this new sick cut. HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMING HERE FOR YOUR NEXT CUT.“

“This bar is the bar for people who value hospitality and delicious beverages.
Yes, it is a bit more expensive than your average dive bar- but what you are paying for is immaculate service, hospitality and people who truly care- all backed with premium products, a solid backbar and whisky selection, and delivery that is like nothing else in the area.
If you are looking for a cheap drink, probably not your place, but... if you are looking to be greeted warmly, served a delicious beverage with a genuine smile and left wondering if they were just serving you, or if you are a part of their family- this is the bar to go to.“

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

“We had my husband's 40th birthday here and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience! Thank you to the staff for your service and accommodating attitude; everyone felt so welcome and relaxed. We will recommend SuperFly Golf to anyone looking for a celebration space and/or a chill hang.“

“Enjoyed hanging at the bar with a friend! Rachel is very knowledgeable about her drinks! Great atmosphere!“

“sylvia the owner knows mexican food better than all of colorado, with a mezcal bar that is not easy to find - this place is great for tourists and native mexicans will agree - adelita's is the best food and best bar menu in all of denver, plus the owner is a really great friend to my community and has donated a lot of food to support my loved ones networks . I recommend this restaurant for it's flawless history, the atmosphere, and the large authentic menu which can be previewed online“

“I love this bar! Every time I come in here Marcus always remembers me! He is amazing!! Also shout out to Tony he makes everything better! The vibe is incredible!!“

“Wonderful food and service ! Enjoyed the whole experience and will be back !“

“This little gem is a must visit. Food out of the truck in the alley (hence the name), is incredible. Especially love their tacos and queso appetizer. The bands they book are always a treat to hear and price is super affordable for the high quality food and drinks. Most importantly the staff might be the friendliest in the area. Highly recommend!“

“Amazing Lunch Experience at Peckish! I stopped by Peckish for lunch, and it was a fantastic experience! The spinach artichoke dip was creamy and flavorful—definitely a must-try. I also had the traditional wings with sweet chili lime sauce, which had the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. To top it off, the buffalo chicken pizza was incredible! It was drizzled with just the right amount of buffalo sauce and house-made ranch, giving it that perfect blend of heat and cool. The service was great, and the atmosphere was cozy. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Sebastian really made it perfect.

Came in 25 minutes before close, he was enthusiastic about the kitchen willing to cook me up a fajita bowl. The bowl is a solid 8.4… Hit the spot. I would definitely go back to this place again when we stay here next year.

BONUS… they obviously have decent bar set up and have dehydrated fruits as garnishes. My 2 year old daughter wanted some of the fruit. He totally hooked her up and gave her a water too. Very impressed. And I am hard to impress, I think?

Could have easily been overlooked, but I’m absolutely glad I didn’t“

“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.“
