My favorite speakeasy and cocktail experience. You enter through a a hidden door to the intimate dim bar beyond. The cocktail selection was so innovative. I had the bartender (s/o Kenny) help me choose and ended up with "it's not what you think" which was basically Thai green curry in a cocktail. I loved it! It was so distinct and complex. My friend ordered a thyme/cranberry/goat cheese cocktail that tasted like the perfect accompaniment to Thanksgiving. I love bars that have hearty dessert options - we got the brownie with Little Man's salted OREO ice cream - no need to wait in the long line down the street! This was so yummy but so rich that two of us struggled to finish Logistics: - indoor seating only - limited street parking nearby - reservations recommended but we were able to get walk in space for 2 at 6pm on a Sunday - keep group size under 4 as seating space is limited
This is a super cozy, intimate cocktail spot with good bites. There are super unique signature cocktails & the bartenders did a great job creating drinks based on our preferences. The service was great and the food was solid.
Me and my wife to be were amazed and truly astonished by the attention to detail and environment to everything Williams and Graham had to offer. Are server Jose Q didn't hold back on his enthusiasm for his work he showed real passion for his place of work. Also Ms. Ashanti energy was nothing to miss. Food was chefs kiss and we traveled all the way from Texas and was definitely one of the highlights of are trip
An incredible experience as always. Williams and Graham might be known for their incredible cocktails and service, but I'm here to remind everyone not to sleep on the food. Holy S***. Bone Marrow (get the Sherry add on trust me), French Onion Soup, and genuinely the most incredible Olive Tapenad I've ever had. (Who mentions tapenad in a review??? It was honestly that good). It takes a really special place to be an amazing restaurant disguised as one of Denver's best cocktail bars.
The entire experience was absolutely amazing! The theme of the speakeasy was 10/10! The welcoming host was 10/10, the inside host was 10/10, the waiter was 10/10, the food was 10/10!!!! I had the best oysters that I've had in my life!!! My only advice is to make a reservation. It made the process a lot easier.
No pictures need as others have provided it. You want that speakeasy perfection Bar? Here it is. What we were looking for. Waited in what felt like a library office.... Boom secret door. The vibe was great. We stood but totally fine. I'd go here weekly if I could. We didn't have food.
I took my brother here to celebrate his 21st bday. I wanted to show him how cool the secret bookshelf entrance is and how neat the inside looks. We asked a lot of questions trying to figure out what drinks he might like and the staff members were so helpful! They have food late into the evening which is great so we got the garlic parm fries and they did not disappoint.
SUCH a fun speakeasy bar to go to!! the front is like a little bookshelf that spins around for you to enter. they even do coat check at the front and will bring out jacket/coats for you before you leave!! we got seated at the bar and the bartender who served us was fantastic. everyone was so friendly and actually took the time to ask for your names after introducing themselves. we got some great recommendations for drinks and food - this was my first time trying bone marrow and i was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. then the bartender encouraged us to try a bone luge shot which was so fun to do too!!
Sooo close to a perfect experience! I can't wait to go back. Arrived right at opening and secured two spots at the bar without a reservation. Can I be annoying and suggest they get rid of the bookcase? It's cute and fun but not that chic when you had to stand in a corner to let others "sneak" in - then it's just awkward. Little touches like all of the bartender being introduced, a welcome cocktail, and bringing your coats to you make this an elevated experience. I loved both of my mezcal cocktails - especially Found God in a Tomato.
Reserved a booth for my mother in laws birthday here on a Tuesday evening. We were wone of the first reservations in the door. As we acclimated to the room and some of our parties got to see what was on the menu, we were grateful for Ricky, our waiter, in helping us get started. Ricky was very attentive, asked the right questions and followed up with us while we were there. The French onion soup was a starter for two at our table and was a super big hit! The fried with the W&G classic burger and their aioli were an absolute shining star! The demi glace on the ribeye was full of flavor. We enjoyed our drinks and our meals so much that my MIL is hoping to come back next year to celebrate her birthday. For those in the non alcohol party, the drinks I had were delicious and really played nicely with a balance of flavors. I would absolutely come back for another Passionate Earl.
