5 star experience all the way around! Eli and Joaquin were very accommodating. Such a fun and quirky location and cool way to enter. We visited on a Saturday night during what I feel was prime time (between 11pm-1am), and had a small wait. It was nice to be able to enjoy some ice cream while waiting though! When you enter, you are met with a sci-fi themed, intimate, speakeasy vibe. The drinks were delicious and the service was EXTRAORDINARY. Eli has probably been the best bartender I have ever had - EVER! He was welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun! Joaquin also was such a cool individual who takes pride in providing great service! Prices were about average, but the flavor mixes were out of this world! Loved every minute of our time and plan on coming back with friends to share what a gem this place is (even though it is a 1.5hr drive for me and my husband).

Visited and honestly won’t be back. The music was way too loud to even hold a conversation. For an ‘intimate’ speakeasy, you would think otherwise. The service was just bad all around. The male bartender was rude and we noticed he served certain customers before us even though we had been waiting. Nobody checked in on us the entire time.
On top of that, the bartenders were making faces at each other and clearly talking about us, which was very unprofessional. Someone who seemed like the manager also had an attitude instead of trying to make things better. The favoritism was obvious, and we also noticed other patrons getting ignored the same way we were, if they didn’t have a personal relationship with the bartenders. Not a good look and I won’t be going back.

Amazing drinks and exceptional service. I make a point to stop by whenever I am in Denver. Joaqin and Josh created some off menu cocktails for us, out of the world!
