I love the vibe of this spot. I've been coming here since they opened and man has it just been getting better! They have seasonal menus, such a cool eclectic jungle vibe and INCREDIBLE cocktails.
Their bartender Ethan is really passionate about his craft and always has so much knowledge about the spirits, he really tells a story.
Something I also really love about this bar is that they do workshops and pop-up bars!!
Their DIA DE LOS MUERTOS pop-up is soooo cool and immersive. Chile Rellanos cocktail?...are you serious!!!!
10/10 must check out! I love this cocktail lounge. Literally you can bring anyone and they'll love it

Dietary restrictions: Most of their cocktails are made with coconut milk !

We stumbled on this place while just walking around one night. One of the most fun, hidden away speakeasy’s we have been to. They don’t themselves too serious, and it was a great ambiance to hangout and chill with some amazing drinks.

We stumbled upon Emerald Eye on a chill Tuesday night. The atmosphere was a perfect blend of tropical and mysterious, creating a relaxing escape from the city.

Ethan, our bartender, was knowledgeable and attentive. His attention to detail was evident in every aspect of our visit, from his cocktail recommendations to his expert crafting of drinks. When we requested an espresso martini, he expertly steered us towards the Carajillo, and we're so glad he did! It was an incredible recommendation. The drink was the perfect balance of coffee and sweetness.

We can't wait to return and explore more of the cocktail menu!

I would say this place is a cool whole in the way. Nice little hidden spot.
But the drinks are definitely a bit overpriced. 32 for 2 is a bit much, for a Old Fashion and fruity drink, when you have so much to choose from around the area.
It's definitely good enough for a drink to have the experience.

Wyatt the bar tender was great, the cocktails and conversation were all on point. Watching your drink be made is fun and pays off with the end result being a well balanced cocktail.

Not the bar's fault but my only piece of constructive criticism would be to have two bartenders to help get drinks out faster. While the experience and everything was good it could be helped with the additional person.

Make sure to stop by and get a drink!

Drinks are fantastic, but the extraordinarily loud rap music made the experience miserable.

Fabulous vibes and amazing cocktails that never disappoint. Our most frequent bartender, Ethan, is so knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his craft. Last time we visited, I described flavors I gravitate toward and he made me the best cocktail. The fall menu is also unique and fabulous, with a variety of options with intricate and delicious flavor profiles. Highly recommend a visit.

Great little cocktail bar in downtown! Shout out to the bartender working Friday night the 20th around 5 or so. Didn’t catch his name but super friendly and personable!

We had dinner reservations at Ocean Prime and wanted a drink beforehand. Great speakeasy type atmosphere. George at the door was friendly and informative. One of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve had. Wish they had cocktail servers but great drinks so we’ll be back the next time we have dinner on Larimer Square.

Fantastic all around. Our bartender Ethan has a true passion for the craft and that's evident from the moment you walk in. However any good bartender needs a solid menu to stand behind, and this place delivers on that front as well. I work down here and I see myself coming back again and again.

I’m traveling solo in Denver and happened to walk past this bar whilst on my way to the Ball Arena for a concert. I was immediately pulled in by the music that was playing and upon entry, I was pleasantly greeted by the bar tender, Ethan. I informed him that I would like a special tequila shot and he did not disappoint. The atmosphere is very chill and the other staff are amazing as well. Special thanks to Ethan for making me feel special! I would definitely recommend going to this bar. :-)
