I was genuinely impressed by the liquor selection at this Denver Central Market bar. Seeing bottles like Fortaleza, El Caballito, Lalo high proof casually displayed was a pleasant surprise. I'd initially dismissed it as just another spot in the market, but it's clearly a serious cocktail bar. Sadly, a POS system issue meant I could only grab a hazy IPA, missing out on their intriguing signature cocktails. Hopefully, I'll get to try them on my next visit.

Located in the Denver Central Market. Draft beer, ciders and wines on tap. Average draft beer price was $7 Extensive premium liquors available. You can walk around inside with your drink and shop if you’d like. Lots of seating areas

Went during happy hour on a Thursday and got delicious cocktails (one specialty and one gimlet.) service was great and drinks were delicious. Sat at the bar and there was a pleasant, neighborhoody vibe with the market all around. Liked that it was sunny and open!

Stopped in for a quick pop when bouncing around town and the place was great. Ben the bartender and I had a great discussion about Rum and he turned me onto some of his favorites. The service was speedy and smiley. Eclectic crowd. The market venue itself is wonderful for grabbing whatever you want an bringing it to the bar if you prefer. Lots of food choices. We would return!
