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.

I learned more about Denver in this tour than I had in the year + that I have lived here! Kristina was an AMAZING tour guide! She was so friendly, energetic and full of knowledge! She showed us great spots in the city for delicious cocktails, gave great suggestions for drinks we would like and sprinkled in some interesting history facts! I can't wait to take the other tours WeVenture has to offer!

Kristina was absolutely fabulous! She mixed in the right amount of history to keep the cocktail tour interesting but still kept it light and fun. I learned so much about Denver and the eras surrounding prohibition. Her method for choosing drinks allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and experience flavors I might not have chosen. She recommended so many great places to check out after the tour was done as well. Highly recommend this cocktail tour and our amazing guide, Kristina.

My friends and I had such a great experience on the small-group cocktail tour! Our tour guide, Kristina, was amazing and so knowledge of the city and history of Denver. I highly recommend booking this tour with her. The drinks and snacks were so good as well. I will be coming back to do this tour with my family in the near future!
