I recently started working downtown (yay!) which means my happy hour options have increased exponentially. There is nothing more exciting to me than trying new restaurants! My favorite part about happy hour is that you can enjoy a good drink and appetizer for a price that doesn't make you want to cry. Each time I try a new happy hour (which, let's be honest, will be frequent) I will show you some drink options, tell you where to find it, and give it a rating! Cheers!
16Mix Downtown Denver
Everyday I pass this bar on the way to work and decided to finally stop in for a drink! There is a gorgeous outdoor patio that is perfect for sipping and people-watching. Their happy hour specials include $5 wells, $4 drafts, $6 specialty cocktails, and a few food options (get the flatbread OMG).
Cocktails
Naughty N' Nice
Um, this was delicious? I've been all about the jalapeno lately and couldn't resist this unique drink. Inside is raspberry vodka, raspberries, sour mix, and a squeeze of jalapeno with garnish. This reminds me of those spicy jams you find at Farmer's Markets. The sweet hits you first but then when you swallow that jalapeno gives you a little kick. Just don't eat the garnish!
Blue Monday Cooler
I only wish this drink was actually blue! Blueberry vodka, sprite, lemonade, and fresh blueberries make this drink and it was so refreshing I couldn't taste the alcohol (dangerous)! This complemented the flatbread my mama and I shared (yes, I do happy hour with my mom GOT A PROBLEM?!) and was the perfect cool down for the warming weather. I feel like a splash of blue curacao would just send this over the edge!
Rating: 8/10
16Mix was a super good happy hour, I just wish there was more. More cocktail options, food choices...I'm not quite sure what but something was missing for me. That being said, the drinks were amazing, the food delicious, and the location itself is awesome (right off the mall COME ON). I'll definitely be coming back here!
What are your favorite happy hour spots? Any places I need to try? Let me know in the comments below!
Until next time my loves x.
