Adrift

Lovely tiki bar! Kudos to Mickey for being a GREAT server!! This quaint little place has alot to offer, nice quick bites and some strong drinks that will get you going! Very vibrant atmosphere with a style that captures the tiki vibe. Cocktails were beautifully presented in traditional tiki mugs, and overall we had a great time.

Adrift is one of the best places in Denver if you’re looking for thoughtfully made low and no alcohol cocktails that don’t feel like a compromise. I’m not great at sticking to Dry January, but Adrift made it genuinely enjoyable. Their no alcohol cocktails are just as complex, balanced, and visually appealing as their regular drinks. Everything I tried felt intentional and well executed, especially the tropical drinks and their bitter, spirit free options. The food was also very good. The spam musubi and wings were both flavorful and well prepared, and they paired nicely with the drinks. The atmosphere is fun and relaxed, and you don’t feel out of place if you’re not drinking alcohol. It’s a great option for groups with mixed preferences or anyone who still wants a full cocktail experience without alcohol. Highly recommend, and I’m already planning a return visit.

We tried the GF spam musubi and the Thai hot chicken wings. The wings were sweet with just the right kick from the Thai chili and pineapple. The drinks were super festive and fun! They’re very upfront about the time limit, and your end time is clearly written on the table card. Overall, it’s a lively spot if you’re looking for a fun drink and a good vibe!

Somewhere N of tiki-themed bar, but S of that authentic 50s/60s tiki bar experience. That being said, this is a great place for pau hana or day drinking or a romantic evening or late-night cocktails! The tiki drinks are amazing, service is impeccable, and the vibe is chill (although the playlist on the night we visited was odd, like someone's night on the aux, but maybe that was an anomaly). Expect big city prices, but the "Escape Hour" menu (all day Tue, 5-7pm Wed & Thu, and 4-6pm Fri), with both food and drink offerings, is awesome!
