Run for the Roses

Neighborhood: LoDo/Ballpark/Commons Park

1801 Blake St. Denver, CO 80202

720-573-9155

This subterranean, gambling-themed Dairy Block cocktail lounge has become a destination for drink aficionados. Comb through the clever deck-of-cards menu and you'll find special reserve cocktails made with vintage liqueurs and spirits — a passion of owner Steven Waters. He often imports these hard-to-find bottles, having first verified their authenticity from halfway around the globe. The result is an impressive collection that makes it well worth finding your way inside (the bar’s not a speakeasy, just hard to locate) using the elevator inside Free Market.
