What To Expect

Denver Union Station

We’ll begin our tour at the historic and grand Union Station, where we take in the splendor of “downtown Denver’s living room”. Your guide will give a brief introduction to the beginnings of the Mile High City and it’s early associations with alcohol.

LoDo

We’ll then head out into the heart of lower downtown, also known as LoDo. Your guide will navigate you through the historic, brick-building-lined streets to a few of their favorite local bars. You may start out with a delicious libation at one of Denver’s oldest bars or find yourself in the dark recesses of a subterranean speakeasy spilling over with references to the city’s founding pioneers. As you take in the ambience of each establishment, your guide will let you in on the ingredients and background of each drink. You’ll come to appreciate Denver’s place in the realm of cocktails from all over the world, and we may even get to try a truly local twist on time-honored classics. We’ll dispel the myths and shed some light on controversies surrounding a few of the most popular drinks on the menu.

Larimer Square

Cocktail connoisseur or not, you’ll end your tour with a greater appreciation of Denver’s craft cocktail scene, all the while exploring LoDo’s iconic Larimer Square and surrounding area. Your local guide will have plenty of recommendations for more cocktails, great local beer, and a bite to eat all around Denver.

What an excellent outing for Father’s Day. We knew from the moment we met Laura that we were in for an awesome time. We had four in our party and the group was rounded out by another family party of four and we could not have been matched any more perfectly. We are all Texans and it felt like being with friends, not strangers. So much information, so many excellent cocktails and so much fun!!

The cocktail tour with Kristina was amazing! The tour was full of facts about Denver as well as the origins of the cocktails we were trying. She had us pick the drinks based on the flavor profiles which was fantastic and led to us trying drinks we never would have as well as finding a new favorite. Highly recommend!

A booze tour. What could go wrong? Nothing. But you’d need a guide of the quality of Katrina to make this a memorable evening. She’s Colorado born and bred and clearly has a passion for Denver/CO, so many stories!1a. Really enjoyed our tour. Worth every penny and more.
