We were staying in the Patterson Inn which this is a part of. We only made it in one night during our stay but had a great time! Sat at the bar chatting with the owner Chris, who is a “character” (IFYKYK 🤣). It got pretty packed in there. It has a quaint neighborhood tavern vibe. Everyone chatted together. He has some interesting cocktails and we were excited to try a few. I ordered the Caphill Carrot and my mom ordered the Michigan Cherry. They didn’t disappoint!!! I wish we had time to try a few more during our stay. I think he has some other interesting plans in the works to add to the experience! Can’t wait to go back on my next trip to Denver!

This place is an absolute hidden gem! Loved coming here to get drinks and due to it being tucked away it wasn’t insanely packed. Is open to the public as well as the residents of The Patterson Inn. The Old Fashions were definitely my highlight of ordering drinks and I’m not very much of an old fashion type of guy! Cool atmosphere and talked to the owner (Chris) and we talked about his smoke lounge he’s making in the basement and everything that goes into it, it was great and interesting stuff to learn and talk about!

✨🍸 Hidden Gem Alert – 12 Spirits Tavern! 🍸✨ We stopped by 12 Spirits last weekend for date night and it did not disappoint. This place has serious speakeasy vibes—low-key, cozy, and effortlessly cool. The drinks? Next-level phenomenal. Creative, bold, and crafted with so much attention to detail that every sip feels like an experience. The food is exactly what you want alongside cocktails—bar bites that hit the spot. 💫 The atmosphere is chill but still buzzing with energy, and the staff? Absolutely amazing—super friendly, attentive, and they make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. If you’re looking for a spot that’s perfect for date nights, casual hangs, or just treating yourself to an unforgettable drink, this is it. We’ll 100% be back—already planning our next round. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend! #SpeakeasyVibes #DateNightGoals #CocktailLovers #12Spirits

This hidden gem is steeped in history and good vibes. Perfect for a cocktail crafted with care and unique flavor profiles. Welcoming to all! We love to stroll to this amazing local spot with our pup, Remington and hang with the truly awesome mixologists and owners. A serious denver secret too good to keep to ourselves! Who doesn’t want to sip delicious bevies in the small courtyard of a castle!?!? Check it out!
