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.

This was such a fun tour! Kristina was friendly and made the group feel comfortable and welcomed to Denver. I would recommend this to anyone with an afternoon to spend around downtown Denver. It was so nice to walk outside and get a little history of the buildings and how some of the cocktails came about. So much fun! I would go again.

Kristina was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! The tour was super interesting. We are from Denver but still learned a ton about the history of Denver, the history of cocktails, and cool places to eat/drink. My husband and I have recommended this tour to nearly everyone we know and are excited to take some of their other tours in Denver and around the country. Thanks for the fantastic evening Kristina!!
