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 a wonderful way to start our visit to Denver. We met Dwayne to find we were the only guests on the tour. We had a nice conversation about cocktail history, prohibition and traditional mixology all while learning about the city. We made 3 stops over the 2.5 hour tour. We were not only impressed with the cocktails, we also used Dwayne’s recommendations on places to see and eat around the city. Well worth the time to take this tour

This tour was more than we expected! Dwayne was a great tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and really wanted to make this a memorable experience. If you’ve not done this tour, don’t wait any longer!! If you’re looking for a real throwback to the pre and post prohibition Denver, look no further. The drinks on this trip were amazing and unique as well as the history. And yes, you can ask specifically for Dwayne!!!
