Great experiment with a knowledgeable guide Barry. All restaurants were within a short walking distance. Only cocktail I didn’t like was the whiskey. Too strong for me! Small group was nice. Good to meet new people.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Barry loves sharing the craft behind our local cocktail scene, though we totally understand that the whiskey can pack a serious punch! We’re glad the short walk and the small group setting made for a fun afternoon of meeting new people.

Barry is indeed amazing, and we’re so happy you enjoyed the company of your fellow tour-goers while learning about each location. It’s a treat to hear that his knowledge and the group dynamic made for such a great time!
Rachel_H, Sep 2025
The tour was great. The drinks that were given to us were amazing. Our tour guide Barry was very knowledgeable gave us a lot of history which was really nice, especially being from out of town.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you, Rachel! So glad Barry’s mix of stories, history, and strong pours hit the mark. Hope you discovered a new favorite Denver cocktail along the way!
Rachel_F, Sep 2025
This tour was a lot of fun. We got to walk around Denver and see some cool areas. The drinks were a great and the guide was very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Cheers, Rachel! Happy to hear you had fun exploring and sipping your way through the city. Thanks for the recommendation!
Jarrett_K, Aug 2025
I’m a local and don’t explore much Barry is who our guide was and it was amazing! Learned about so many hidden gems in my own back yard!
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Thanks, Jarrett! We love helping locals rediscover their city—especially with Barry leading the way. Denver has a lot of hidden gems, and we’re glad you found some new favorites!

Just for clarification, this tour takes you to three different restaurants in about a two block area, and includes a total of three drinks (the last stop has two 1/2 pours), and two snack. I only mention that because past tours I have done has taken us to many more places, and I thought this tour included four stops. The three places we stopped at were very nice, and our tour guide to told us about the history of Union Station and the Dairy Block during our tour. He was very friendly and answered questions that he could. The highlight was, at the first restaurant we got to sit next to the open kitchen and watch the chefs at work.The downside to the tour is that you don’t have any choice of drinks. If you don’t like what is being served, it’s too bad. My husband drank my old-fashioned, and I drank a drink at a different restaurant he didn’t like. I enjoyed the tour, but don’t think it was worth $90 a person, hence the 3 star review.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
Hi Rebecca! Thanks so much for your feedback and insight. We take guests' experiences very seriously and are sorry that some of the cocktails on the tour missed the mark for you. We select cocktails as this is a curated experience, and we strive to highlight unique and interesting drinks as well as paired small plates (house-made focaccia with garlic conserva, marinated olives, and the braised pork slider with chipotle BBQ) our partners are creating. This also allows our guides to fully explain the ingredients and process of crafting those specific cocktails, and it allows us to highlight the best and brightest at our partner restaurants. We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the stops and your tour guide. Thanks again for joining us!

Fawn_J, May 2025
So, I’ll be honest - we actually missed our tour because of a crazy early flight and we took a nap when we arrived to Denver where we slept through all our alarms (there were three of them). However, tour guide Barry did his absolute best to get ahold of us, and even responded to our texts when we finally woke up. He even gave us a great tip for dinner that night at a place we never would have found otherwise! I definitely recommend the tour and am so bummed we missed it.
Response from Host, Jun 2025
We're so sorry we missed you this time! Hope the rest of your trip was amazing, and we can't wait to host you on the next one!
Caley_S, May 2025

Response from Host, May 2025

Pati_F, May 2025

Nancy_R, Dec 2024
I booked a previous tour hoping I would get the same tour guide. To which I did! I was so happy when Rob was my tour guide for this cocktail tour. He made it so fun and enjoyable. The cocktails were also 👌. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Denver. I planned this before a Denver Nuggets basketball game. It was worth it! My friend and I would do this again.
Response from Host, Jan 2025
It was such a joy to host you ladies for a second tour and thank you very much for the lovely review, Nancy! I'm thrilled that you had a fun time pre-gaming with me and I'm thrilled that you found the cocktails scrumptious.

Brandi_J, Oct 2023
We really enjoyed this tour. A great way to take in some Denver hot spots. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is I would have liked a small appetizer at each place. We had a small bite at the first and last stop. I would have gladly paid a little more for an extra appetizer to balance it out. But overall highly recommend and would for sure do it again. Our out of town guests really enjoyed it.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thanks very much for sharing the happy hours with us, Brandi. We're so happy that you and your guests enjoyed the tour and cocktails. As a local, small business, we value feedback and your note about an additional appetizer has given us wonderful food for thought. Cheers!
