Moments of Moderation @ Call Me Pearl
As the first month of the new year comes to a wrap, there’s still time to reflect on the beauty of fresh beginnings. And what better place to do so than the new Call Me Pearl bar on the ground floor of The Rally Hotel in McGregor Square? With a menu of nonalcoholic and low-ABV beverages, it’s the perfect place to embrace clarity and wellness. As they say, life is a grand adventure, and even in Moments of Moderation, joy can be found in every sip of the Pardon My French, a mix of Seedlip Garden 108, Gruvi dry-secco, and lemon. More details can be found here.

High West Whiskey Dinner @ B&GC
Welcome to a clandestine drinking spot revived from the ruins of the former Cherry Creek Post Office.

Bar Cupid Pop-Up at The Inverness Denver
We just left the holiday pop-up season, and The Inverness is keeping it going with their Bar Cupid pop-up all month long.

All are welcome, so singles, grab your crew and head over to spoil yourselves with a cocktail after a spa session or during an all-weekend staycation.
