Look for the vibrant Cocktail sign leading downstairs below Larimer Square or you will miss it. Stopped in here for a quick drink or drinks after a date on Saturday and loved the Atmosphere. The vibe was dark and groovy, good music, good drinks. Very heavy smell of incense, which you might like or not. Bar tender was slammed so drinks took a bit. Various seating options make it easy for big or small groups. The drinks are a modern twist on classic cocktails, with a heavy focus on rum and agave. Most sports and flavors from Central South America and the Caribbean.

Cocktails were killer. Bartender slayed on a Tuesday night by themselves, making several drinks at once and un-phased by the rush. The vibes were great. The space was cozy and I wish I lived closer and could visit regularly.

I came with my wife. Drinks were amazing. She ordered the carajillo and she loved it. We just wish the bartender was more attentive. We ordered our second round of drinks and we waited more than 20min and we didn’t get them. So we left.

I can’t say enough about how amazing the staff here are. There were some guys acting creepy and not leaving girls alone and they acted swiftly and even remade my friends drink when she was concerned about it potentially being tamped with by those guys. They also made sure we were aware that they would never tolerate that kind of behavior and want to make sure women always feel comfortable there.
