50 Best Cocktail Bars near Lakewood

“I have been going to Ballmer Peak on Green Mountain for a while now and have LOVED it, but I went to the second location on Sheridan and Alameda for the first time this evening. They have created a beautiful, warm and inviting space with the same great beverages and excellent staff. I can't recommend a visit enough!“

“Chef Vilma is amazing. The only thing I regret is not going here before. The staff is amazing. They treat you like family. Go here every night they are open if you can. You won't be disappointed.“

“Crossed off my fourth new (to me) restaurant of the year and first in February tonight. Thanks to Lady Nomada in Arvada for such a delish meal! Their specialty taco - fried avocado - was mouth watering. I also had a Baja fish taco and couldn’t help but sneak in a carnitas taco, too. Super cool vibe and friendly staff; I’ll definitely be back again!“

“Thank you so much for the amazing donation of food for the Quarry Fire Evacuation! There is only so much fast-food one can eat and this was such a lovely treat! Your generosity is immense and we thank you for your support.“

“Great food, great service, one of our favorite sushi places💜💜“

“Food was really good; and good portions as well. Tasted fresh though took a really long time to get to me so entree was a bit cooler than I think it should have been. Server not attentive at all but very respectful - to be fair he was very young. Overall a good experience and I would come here again.“

“I've been eating at your place ever since you opened. We've been back 3 times after the pandemic and we ate so disappointed in the flavor if your food now. It is nediocre. We won't be back.“

“Place was fresh would deff go again“

“Great Charcuterie Boards, and an excellent Espresso Martini. Angela Neri, the owner, pays keen attention to detail.“

“Rhianna and the rest of the staff are awesome !!!“

“Great vibe, amazing cocktails, fabulous bartenders (looking at you, Hayden).“

“We were very excited to come here for my partner’s birthday because he loves a good espresso martini, but we were disappointed. I had the hazelnut martini and he tried the salt+olive oil martini, and both had very strong bitter, almost soapy flavors to them. They were not very balanced. The atmosphere also isn’t as intimate or cozy as we hoped — it definitely feels like an apartment building lobby. That being said, we will be sure to come again and give it another shot, because we still had a great time and service was awesome. Maybe it was just an off night behind the bar!“

“Celebrated my birthday here! From the host to the bartender and our server, everyone was friendly and attentive. Drinks came out fast, and everything we ordered was great. Price is reasonable as well. Highly recommend!

Make a reservation so that you can have one of their velvet booths.“

“Best bar. Great drinks. Great staff. All around amazing place.“

“Love this place! Everyone here treats me and my dog like family every time we come in. Such a great atmosphere, drinks and energy. Can't recommend this place enough for coffee or a cocktail. They also have great prosciutto my dog Roux gives this place five stars as well.“

“My wife and I had an absolute blast last night. The golf simulator was a lot of fun with a ton of options for play. The pool was free and the drinks were great.“

“Middleman is an amazing cocktail bar. We also LOVE the food at Misfit Snack Bar (which is part of Middleman). The burger is always on the menu (and is amazing) and they rotate their menu frequently. The drinks are super unique and inventive. The staff is lovely and they make everyone feel like regulars. They also host really fun events. We recently went near Halloween and they hosted a pumpkin carving contest with fun prizes and swags. Highly recommend!

Vegetarian options: Good vegetarian food options.

Dietary restrictions: They also have good gluten free items on the menu.“

“If you’re looking for a cocktail bar that combines top-notch drinks with a side of charm and hair-envy, Lazy Greyhound is your new favorite spot. The drinks? Absolute magic. Zac, the bartender, has an almost mystical ability to craft cocktails that taste as good as they look. But here’s the twist: while his drinks are top-tier, his hair is next-level. If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if a hair salon and a speakeasy had a beautiful, well-coiffed love child, this is it.“

“Held a 70’s themed baby shower here last weekend and it was perfect!! This place is so chic and the staff was amazing. Drinks and food were on point. We had so much fun!“

“I have only been living in Colorado for 5 months, but this was the best experience I have had going out. The staff was amazing, engaging, and beyond friendly. The food was top-notch, and the atmosphere was fun. I will definitely be going back...again and again. ❤️“

“This place is out of this world!!! Unbelievable fresh seafood, and the fried and fresh oysters were phenomenal! We got there at happy hour and ordered a bunch of stuff, and it was so good, we then ordered dinner too! Stuffed, but not weird greasy cheeseburger stuffed, happy stuffed! Dior was the man too! Super fun to chat with about the food and life in general! I will be running, not walking back to this fine establishment!! Way to go guys, keep up the great work!!“

“Tim's cocktails is a dreamy cozy cocktail date night hot spot. Tim’s also hosts various events, and I’ve had the joy of documenting a charity event, their stunning cocktails, and their joyful team. 10/10 reviews for the crew, their drinks, and speakeasy vibes.“

“If you are in the area and want to try something a little different from the places on Main street, check this place out! Drinks are amazing with the classics and several uniques ones on the menu as well. The food, decor and service are great. I am not sure how often they have live music but we caught a show here and the sound was surprisingly good. Parking is easy and close by but if you are in downtown Littleton already you can walk there and get away form the crowds in downtown Littleton.“

“Amazing cocktail experience! Fun cool local spot. Smoky drink had a great presentation - came in a little lantern!“

“Great coffee on Federal. They have a convenient walk up window and friendly staff. Highly recommended!“

“My favorite coffee shop in Denver. Can't wait to go back!“

“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.“

“We had a fantastic time at Poka Loka, and our bartender, Arianna, was a big part of that. She was not only skilled at crafting delicious cocktails but also incredibly friendly and engaging. Arianna's recommendations were spot-on, and she made our visit truly enjoyable. If you're at Poka Loka, definitely look for Arianna behind the bar!“

“Just like Cher's,, people yell your name,,?️kerreoke is popping off,, your bar stool waiting,/and your drinks on it's way¡!!! I just. Love this place!

“This is by far my favorite place to go with my gal pals or bring out of town visitors. James the bartender always provides extraordinary customer service and delicious cocktails. The views are great. The vibes are on point. And even though seating can be hard to find, standing is so worth it to experience this rooftop.“

“Place was amazing and such a great atmosphere!!“

“Cool spot Sushi place is SLOWWWWW and their staff is burnt out and lazy. But overall a cool vibe and the food was ok“

“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.“

“A place I would hang out at“

“Last night we went here and it was awesome! We opted to do the equivalent of the chef‘s table, and let them decide what to bring, and when. It was absolutely amazing and delicious! Definitely creative. The drinks were phenomenal as well. Our favorites were the Hamachi, the off the menu salmon, tartare, the mushroom Ramen soup and the foie gras. ❤️“
