A cocktail journey through space and time, like none other. Thank you KRISTINA for such a fun experience during our first-but-not-last visit to Denver!
We would recommend this tour to just about everyone, because there is something for everyone here - no matter what your personal taste or preference….
- A beer drinker? Calm down Francis. You will still have lots of fun.
- Only like certain cocktails and worried you will have nothing to drink? Fear not, small thinker. It’s time to broaden your horizons.
- Not a history buff (who cares about that statue!) but still want interesting information? Listen up - fun and useful information coming your way to amaze your friends!
During this tour you will do a small loop of cocktail establishments the Lodo area, having a cocktail at each and learning about the history of prohibition and the background on cocktails that you have no idea existed. You will also make some friends and have some stories to tell. It was fun to have our guide pick the drinks for us based on “flavor profiles” instead of “type-of-spirit”. I found myself drinking an Old Fashioned and enjoying it, and I am not a bourbon person. Can’t even spell it (I had to look it up). Still, it was varietal and enjoyable.
The amount of history shared during the 2.5 hours or so was perfect - it was captivating with a local twist, and the cocktails were arranged to coincide with the narrative: pre-Prohibition, during, and modern. You may also discover some new places to imbibe during your visit here.
Tours like these bring together a delightful mix of people you would never meet otherwise - we had a couple from Indiana, the Texas contingent, a few locals, and was rounded out by some military sons who traveled from Japan on leave for New Years. Great mix of people and backgrounds.
Our guide KRISTINA (I write it in upper case because it seems to suit her) was high energy, fun, and made the experience engaging for all. We’d do this tour again the next time we are in town for sure!
