First Draft

Denver


Young and hopping, this is a great place to sample craft beers, wine, cider, kombucha and more. Instead of a bartender, there’s a line of 20-plus taps. Buy a refillable charge card, scan it and pull yourself a glass – you’re charged by the ounce. Long communal tables and a nice patio make it easy to mingle. Kitchen service too.
