Coziest Cocktail Bars for the Winter Chill

Dek goes here…

The weather outside is frightful… and a cocktail bar with comforting drinks and a cozy atmosphere can help take the edge of the winter chill. When the snow is falling and the wind is freezing, a cozy bar is a great place to meet up with friends or go on a date. Check out our list below for an up-to-date roster of where you’ll find us curling up with a spiked cider this year.

ESP Hifi

1029 Santa Fe Dr, Denver, CO 80204

ESP Hifi sets the perfect mood from the lighting to the wine menu to what they’re known best for, curating the music to the energy in the room using their fine-tuned, state-of-the-art audio system. Inspired by the Japanese kissa/kissaten culture, where listening to music is the core identity, come to ESP Hifi to take a seat, settle in, and sip your drink to the beat.

Talnua Distillery

5405 W 56th Ave, Unit C Arvada, CO 80002

If whiskey is your drink of choice, look no further than Talnua Distillery. Their cozy cocktail lounge is the perfect place to try their award-winning whiskeys or have a glass of their seasonal boozy eggnog.

Dew Drop Inn

1033 E 17th Ave, Denver, CO 80218

A classy and stylish space to enjoy a friendly beer or cocktail – that’s Dew Drop Inn’s schtick. Plus, if you’re feeling hungry, they have an amazing menu of hearty dishes to accompany your beverage of choice.

The L

46 Broadway, Denver, CO 80203

The L prides itself on being a destination for cocktails that will blow you away. Think good vibes and colorful folks meet craftsmanship and creativity. You can’t go wrong with anything on their menu, so impress your friends with being the one to introduce them to this spot.

The Wild

1660 Wynkoop St Suite 100, Denver, CO 80202

Need to transition from an afternoon espresso to happy hour? The Wild is your place. Serving up delicious coffee, classic cocktails, wine, beer, and the biggest morning bun pastry we’ve ever seen, The Wild has something for everybody.
