Favorite bar in Denver. Everyone that works there is amazing and the drinks are some of the best I’ve had in this city. They have a wonderful selection of gin and creative ways of making cocktails. 3
I guess this is a bar or is it an escape into an abyss of chill vibes...Eclectic seating and design helps make you forget what's outside the doors you came in from. Staff are so diligent and observant it's as if they my long lost friend trying to reconnect our old fun bonds. Biggest array of possible cocktails in one location and they, yes they are also as delicious as they look. We both got two tequila creations one made up by the bartender and another on the menu. 'The mellow monk' is a delicious upgrade of the classic Mexican mule. Light on the ginger beer and heavy on the flavor. Definitely a must try. If you're looking for a spicy tequila cocktail with a tasteful burn and exotic presentation show them the picture below because I never got a name for it. Didn't come for the food but others seemed to enjoy. In summary, this is that modern '70s show' basement hangout (minus the smoke), add the happy feels and available playful games and tunes to make this the place to come kick it with old and new friends! *Moms and dads welcome*
Bar Max was a really cool bar we stopped into after grabbing tacos one night. I loved all the plants around! Kept it feeling cozy. They had large variety of nonalcoholic cocktails which was nice. Not something a lot of places have. I had a regular margarita, & it was pretty good! My friend had the lavender menace. It was similar to a lavender lemonade. She loved it! Staff was great & attentive. They had some cool little games on all the tables which was unique.
Had an awesome time! The custom cocktail system makes it easy and fun to create a unique (and delicious) drink. A great spot for anyone, but especially if you're a cocktail nerd.
Super dope place with relaxed vibe. Real candle light on the table. Good music. The fancy grilled cheese with prosciutto was bombbb and delicious. The owner is super tight. Each drink has its own style of glass. The gin and tonic was superb. The widows kiss was not on the menu but they can whip up what you desire. My friend loves the spicy drink section. The latest happy hour around until 7pm on every day they’re open (Thursday/Friday/Saturday). If you love plants get here cuz they’d love your love. There is also a very unique cool toy on every table!!! Come here.
We loved the vibe of Bar Max: their innovative cocktails (the mellow monk!), cool decor with a decidedly progressive slant and delicious food (the fancy grilled cheese) were all perfect. 10/10 recommend.
Wonderful bar with excellent service and community happenings. Tell the bartender your preferences and they can mix something custom.
The atmosphere is fantastic and the owner took his time to get to know us and really invest in conversation! Also home to some of the best mocktails I have ever tried!
