The Best Combination Cocktail Bar + Coffee Shops in Denver

Over the past few years, coffee shops and cocktail bars have become one and the same. It's a natural progression for a coffee shop that's open 7am - 3pm to want to maximize the 3pm - midnight time slot. Enter the cocktail bar. Throughout Denver we have seen many of these. Here are my top 5.

By day, it serves specialty coffee in a chic setting, and by night, it transforms into a lively cocktail lounge.

The Wild

The Wild has kept a low profile, but don't be fooled. Located just across from Union Station, it offers a unique blend of specialty coffee and craft cocktails in a chic, airy setting.
