    As regulars, we wanted to surprise my parents, who were in town from Nebraska for the weekend, by taking them to an "ice-cream shop" (wink, wink). After having a round of drinks at a few other places with no issues, we were stunned at how militant and rude the staff was to my 65-year-old mother who did not have her ID with her, as she is never required to carry her ID to be served alcohol in Nebraska (or other states she's traveled to). Not only did they deny her entry to the bar, but told us that the state routinely sends older "decoy" customers to try and catch them illegally admitting customers to the bar area without a valid ID. When we suggested how absurb it was to share that story and imply that my mother was a state-sponsored "decoy," another employee chimed in saying "Don't talk to us, talk to the state of Colorado." As a paying (and regular) customer, please don't ever tell me not to talk to you. We understand having to deny service for legal reasons, but this is an inappropriate way to engage with customers. My fiance and I are in no rush to return after this experience.

    This place is amazing. The atmosphere is one of a kind. The bartenders are attentive and entertaining. The drinks are creative and strist as hell. Done for the ice cream - stay for the bar.

    Was there a few nights ago on a date and was super impressed. The wait was roughly 15 minutes but it is easy to kill time when you are waiting inside of a ice cream shop. Also, the wait pays off when you get to meet the staff and have them whip up their delicious cocktails. The fellas behind the bar were awesome to "talk shop" with and had a wonderful taste in music that was pumping through the bar. The crowd was small and the staff was able to give everyone at the bar special attention. You can order off their menu, which the staff takes pleasure in walking you through or you can have them "riff" on a classic. Would recommend to anyone jonesin for a one-of-a-kind cocktail.

    This little hidden gem is a fun, beautiful secret. I don’t want to write a review because I want to keep this place all to myself. The atmosphere is fun, the drinks are creative and the staff is helpful. It can get busy in a Friday night but Christopher made sure that we were well taken care of. Thanks Christopher! Our small party had a grand experience!!
