The Stockroom

In the back of Spirits Wine Provisions is a door to an old stockroom. While it may say it’s for staff only, those who enter will be rewarded not with a job, but with access to a ritzy speakeasy and a list of classic cocktails as well as twists on the standards. Not sure what […]

Ephemeral Rotating Taproom

In 2022, Weston Scott and Shannon Lavelle debuted this concept, which takes a different approach to craft beer drinking in Denver. The taproom is a place for beer nerds to dive into tastes from around the country without having to leave the city; it hosts a rotating lineup of breweries, one at a time. Ephemeral […]

The Marigold

After more than two years of delays, local bar pro Sudhir Kudva and his entourage of investors debuted this combo bar and plant shop in Five Points in 2023.

First, it has some solid drink specials, making it way more affordable than ordering booze at the music venue. It’s also home to a nine-hole mini golf course, […]

The Crypt

Metal, mostly meat-free food (along with a damn good meaty burger) and a reverence for death are all on full display at this spot founded by longtime Tooey’s employee Priscilla Jerez and business partners Chris Maynard and Dale Canino in 2022. A destination for live music and late-night revelry, it has a smoking patio out […]

Velvet Elk Lounge

LIVE MUSIC • GOOD BOOZE Velvet Elk Lounge was born from the desire to create a small, funky, live music venue in Boulder where you can get a proper cocktail and listen to great, local music. When there’s not a live band, check the calendar for DJ events, open mic nights, dance your pants off […]
