Happy Hour Spot of the Week!

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!

My mom and I hit up this bar (conveniently located at the light rail station) to cheer on the US Women's National Team in the 2015 World Cup (yes, this post is late SORRY). There is nothing better than alcohol, bar food, and a big screen to make watching the game even better! Look how long their happy hour is...that's such a deal! This includes $3.50 well drinks and wines, $1 off beers, and $5 food specials from 4:00-7:00PM. No cocktail specials, but the variety is still nice!

Cocktails

Juicy Fruit and Cherry Limeade

Nothing better than a cocktail served in a full-size glass! My mom ordered the Juicy Fruit (on the left) which was coconut rum, peach schnapps, melon liquor, and pineapple juice. So yummy!  I went with the Cherry Limeade (I'm addicted to the Sonic version) which had Pucker cherry vodka, muddled limes, triple sec, sprite, and sweet and sour! These drinks went perfect with the loaded cheese fries we ordered (TRY THEM) and were the perfect size so we didn't feel the need to order another. 

Rating: 9/10

The only thing missing was that there are no specials for cocktails during happy hour. Other than that, the food was delicious and the drinks the same! There was plenty of variety at super reasonable prices. I also liked that it wasn't too packed, even during a huge sports event, so there's actually room to breathe.




Until next time my loves x.

16Mix Downtown Denver

Located at 16th and Court inside the Sheraton Hotel
Happy Hour: 4:00-6:00PM Mon-Fri

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!

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!
