Stats Brewery

I’ve been here once and it was a fantastic experience. The bartender was awesome—great personality, a lot of fun, and great drinks. I did the cocktail flight. However, today’s experience was less than fantastic. I came by at 9:15–the website and Google Maps said the close at 10–and when I arrived, the doors were locked. I was confused because it was 45 minutes before close, so I walked the block, thinking maybe I misremembered and I was by a back door or something. Nope. So I called, and was told that they closed early because it was slow. Alright, except there were several tables with people at them. For a place that’s closing their tasting room, ostensibly because they’re not getting their ROI on it, this seems like a kind of dumb move, especially if you still have a dozen or so patrons inside.

The Family Jones Spirit House continues to be one of my favorite cocktail spots in Denver. This location acts as their working distillery and tasting room, and it’s where they experiment with and refine their spirits and cocktail recipes. You can really tell they take the craft seriously. We tried several drinks from their winter menu and each one was well executed. The LoHi Rising stood out with its Earl Grey and citrus profile, and the Après-Pear Marg was smooth and flavorful with spiced pear and tequila. The Salt & Vinegar Martini was creative and came with a pickled potato garnish that made it memorable. The Alpine Glow was bright and refreshing with hibiscus and prosecco. We also ordered the grilled cheese with soup and the pretzel bites, which were perfect for the cold weather and paired well with the drinks. Overall it’s a great place to enjoy creative cocktails in a comfortable setting, especially during the winter months.

Fantastic sophisticated and genial spot. Great for a fun evening with friends or a cute date night. The drinks are incredible and the staff professional and very warm. I recommend the smoky old fashioned for a refreshing take on the classic.

We went for happy hour on a Sunday and absolutely fell in love with the place. Such a beautiful place with comfy seats and nice people. And the drinks are AMAZING. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks for the amazing time and wonderful vibes.

Love the new drink and food menu! It was difficult to choose a drink because the options are amazing, and even better was the all day happy hour pricing on the patio. The DJ was a nice touch too. I highly recommend.
