Great experience. Looking forward to having more of their smoked vodka. Add an orange peel and it's unreal.

This was a great experience! From the front door to the bar, it is beautiful. Michael and Wade are great hosts. In house distilled artisan vodka and gin. Try a flight and you will not be disappointed. Smoked gin and vodka really ramp up the taste. The atmosphere was terrific! Brick and glass interior walls were spectacular. Well Done Michael!

GREAT VIBES AND DRINKS This was my first distillery experience and I don't have anything prior to compare it to but it was so much fun!! The space was so pretty too. Encore to Michael, the owner of the distillery, for showing us some an amazing time. Had a tasting of his vodka and gin, and I was so shocked when I didn't need a chaser! Because their vodka and gin are made of grapes , the aftertaste bitterness isn't there! I highly rec the cocktail class. Learned a lot and the drinks were so goood. Gosh, Michael was so funny and a great host. My group had a blast. I can't wait to visit this distillery in the mountains! Tysm Michael!!

Spirits that don't burn going down and a really cool owner and atmosphere. Definitely recommend

This is a truly unique distillery and I have only good things to say. Firstly, it is very obvious the owners are passionate about what they do and it was so nice to hear their story about how they came to be. The location itself has old brick from the original building but is completely renovated inside including a beautiful bubble wall and fancy lighting. Everyone one of their drinks is phenomenal. I would recommend the kitty galore but they have a drink for every palette. While you're sitting at the bar, make sure to take a peak at where the alcohol is being made! There is also an entire upstairs area for private events with another bar as well.

My husband and I had a fantastic time. Both bartenders explained everything so well and showed us how to make each drink even at home! We will definitely be ordering their alcohol to our home. It's the best gin and vodka I have tasted so very smooth and the flavored alcohol was amazing. Options like Jalapeño, Serrano, Habanero, orange, ginger, dill and so much more please take your time to come to this place

So, while a friend of mine from Denver gave me a tour of Broadway, we chanced upon Archetype. We decided to pop in for a quick tasting and I'm so glad we did. One of the owners greeted us and immediately made us feel at home. We asked if he could make something akin to a vodka sprite (I know, basic) while we looked at the menu. When he returned with the best vodka sprite ever. At Archetype, explained the owner, they make their vodka from grapes. During the distillation process, they infuse their vodka with different flavors. For the vodka sprite, he used a lemon/lime infused vodka, a lil simple syrup, and some spritz. And when I say he explained this process, trust that he explained it throughly. We decided to have a tasting. We ordered the lavender, the earl grey, and the Serrano. Taken neat, each was incredibly smooth. Our host explained, that made with grapes this vodka has much less of a bite than traditional vodkas. Also, you might think the Serrano would have been hot hot, but it was not. Because they introduce the flavoring elements (fruits, peppers, what not) during the distillation process only the essence of the flavors remain in the vodka, so no sugars or whatever it is that makes biting into a pepper burn. Do yourself a favor and visit this place on your next trip to Denver!

Was gonna check it out but its a homeless shelter. I'd avoid it. Two tents out front. Six on side of mural. Trash everywhere. Neglected property. Shouldve just reopened Kittys. Lol.

Great distillery with many different distilled liquer flavors, including their own gin and vodka made from wine grapes! Distillations include many teas like earl grey, jasmine, rooibos, lapsing souchong, and also unique flavors like blue cheese, beef jerky, habanero, and cacao! Great contemporary industrial vibe. No TV's (at the time of this review), but that helps prevent distractions from what this place thrives to be. Wonderful and knowledgeable bartenders (oops, they're the owners!)!!! Tell them what you like and they'll make you something you've never had before!!!
While in Denver, I wanted to check out some distilleries and visited Archetype Distillery. I didn't really know what to expect but WOW this place is amazing! We just walked into their lounge/bar on a Friday night and sat at the bar. The bartenders (who were also the owners) make some seriously good drinks!! They have a ton of different spirits with different flavors - you can tell them what flavor profiles you like and they can whip up a custom cocktail for you. Really fun experience! The venue is also beautiful and modern. They also do private events, weddings, concerts, etc. The bartenders were super friendly, make really good recommendations and made our visit memorable. Be sure to check them out!

Incredible experience! Michael was hilarious, informative, and passionate. Wade was also amazing. The tour was awesome and we learned so much from the class. 10/10 will be coming back. Oh and the spirits were smooth as hell!

I really loved it here. We came here on my birthday to try it out and get drinks. The place is really big and open (and frankly EMPTY) but its lovely. Every table was full once we got there so I would just say to the business owner you need to get more tables so you don't loose customers, only about 1/20 of the space is being used and it was packed. Also lower tables would be fantastic so it feels casual, there is some couches over by the entrance which I was jealous we didn't get. The high tops are kind of a nightmare, awkward to sit at and uncomfortable. Something that you want to sit at will keep customers sitting aka getting more drinks!!! Not high tops where you want to run after 10 minutes because you are getting lower back pain and have to do stunts to lean in to talk. The drinks were lovely, drink maker was lovely. Neat place, neat design. I will be back.

Really great drinks. There's a board with a bunch of infused gin/vodka options and the bartenders make you a drink based on what you like, after asking a few questions. Fun experience overall and my partner and I really enjoyed our 4 total drinks. $56 after tax for said 4 drinks.
Smoked Gin is awesome!
