Gold Point

I’ve never met a cocktail I didn’t finish - but this one was my first. Beyond sweet even though they were ‘Smokey cocktails’ If you like simple syrup and Maraschino cherries mixed with well liquor this is the place for you.

Fantastic little bar situated nicely in Denver, with a spacious yet intermit style venue, with a great patio along with various casual seating options inside, staff where helpful and friendly. The drinks were more than fairly priced. Would highly recommend!

Cute spot! They’ve got great cocktails and happy hour options. Plenty of seating - my group of 7 was able to find a comfortable area to sit together. I really like the mix and match furniture and overall mellow vibe.

Stopped here when waiting for friends. A nice patio area on the side. Front opens with garage style doors to let light and air in. A few lounge chairs and sofas that look like they a from a second hand store but in good condition. There is a broken PacMan game that they either need to replace or fix. Nice sized bar with booths near by. Had two of their signature cocktails both were good with the Ben-de-la-crème being my favorite. Looks like they have a kitchen in the evening but couldn’t quite tell. Menu and specials rotate to keep things interesting. Nice place.

Amazing for late night eats!! We got the Mac n cheese and it was delicious. The photo booth was a very fun touch. It was very busy when we went so we had to wait for a seat, but we didn’t mind. Wasn’t too rowdy, just lively. I recommend for a late night bite after a night out!

Edited- Aaron provided great service and an awesome whiskey sour. I gave this joint a second try and was pleasantly surprised tonight. Incredible cocktail and experience. Thanks Aaron. ——- Drinks were good. I enjoyed the menu and the variety of options. However, bartender was not friendly. It really ruined the entire experience and I wanted to leave. He also seemed to put minimal energy into the drinks. Bummer because we were excited about the night out!

Great vibe and atmosphere - perfect for a date night or small group. The cocktails were good, though the bartender did look swamped so there was a bit of a wait at the bar. Pretty amazing happy hour deal as well (goes til 8pm!). It’s pretty popular and during the summer hours I always see people hanging outside on the patio/beer garden area.

I'm so happy with Gold Point! I scheduled a birthday party for my daughter here, on recommendation of a friend. I am located back East, but found Mary and the folks at Caddywampus amazing to work with! Everything worked seamlessly and the party was a complete success! Thanks, Y'all! I appreciate you!

I can't love this place more! Great service great drinks and a cool outdoor patio to sit on while people watching. Go Here!

This place was cute and they have great drink options. Everything was so cool and fun vibe. Simple yet has very elegant vibe for me too. My girlfriend like this place for happy hour. The staff were prompt and friendly. Bartenders were amazing and create great drinks. Outside seating was cool and has nice patio. The place was not that crowded when we came there last weekend. A bit pricey for the drinks but its really worth it.

Gold Point wasn't busy at all when we visited on a late Friday afternoon. My friends and I grabbed a picnic table on their patio, and went inside to order at the bar. I decided to try their happy hour cocktail, which was the White Negroni, but unfortunately it was too boozy and bitter for me. I quickly switched over to the Ginstitutionalized, which I liked wayyy better - refreshing, tasty, and well balanced. The drink menu was on the smaller side, but the bartender was helpful and impressively quick. I really liked the patio here, which is great if you're visiting with a large party. The black and white snake mural was a vibe, and they had some cute Halloween decorations set up, as well. The interior was more dark and moody, with plenty of booths, bar seating, and a few cozy looking couches. I can see Gold Point being a great date spot too, since it's quiet enough to easily have a conversation. Would return!

This place was cuter than expected. It was clean and the decor was simple but classy. The bartenders were nice and fast. The drinks were strong but delicious, exactly what I look for. I definitely will be back, as it is a chill place to hang with friends or go on a date!

Gold Point is a real low point on the Larimer strip, sadly. We've walked past here many times and have been meaning to stop in. The place is airy, open and many places to sit- great place for Those who are still feeling uneasy about being indoors. However- the service was offensive and atrocious. We asked if we seat ourselves and the bar back never looked at us and said something inaudible The other direction. I confronted him later asking if we offended and he continued with some very poor excuses about being busy (it was not busy on a Saturday at 4). Sadly our first moment here was met with obnoxious attitude and very poor customer service. It would be really difficult to return here for a second visit, no matter how cute the patio. There are better patios in Denver. Recommend to move on from Gold Point and take your money elsewhere.

went here on a week night, and it was really good! the ambiance is pretty chill, and the drinks were really good! i loved all their options and service was quick and easy. definitely a nice spot for a lowkey night or a date.

Great frozen drinks for hot days! Roomy with a lot of booths and an outside patio. Bartender was super nice and attentive.

Came here for happy hour which was a good deal for $7 select cocktails and dollar off beer. Homey vibe.

We came here not expecting there was a happy hour to 8pm!!! Waw that's late!!! The drinks were delicious I had the mile and the hibiscus cider, excellent!!! Will be back!!

Hot damn! The cocktail menu maybe small but it is mighty. At present, it's got a Rock theme with cocktails like PARADISE CHILE, SWEET CHILD of LIME, and SAKE THE HEART. The bar also has a great selection and bartenders who know what they're doing with it. Highly recommend.

I've been a fan of Gold Point for a while now. I like that its a little off the beaten RiNo track so you can usually snag a spot either inside or outside. They have a nice patio/garden with a nice little fountain and bistro lights- great for summer evenings. The staff is friendly and provides recommendations and the drinks are great. One of the drinks comes with a chili dipped straw!

I'm glad I came here twice before writing a review--once on an okay date and another with a good friend. Parking can be sparse depending on the weather (read: snow) and time of day, but it's always worth the patience. Service is always quiet and professional for some reason, but that makes the vibe feel more relaxed. We sat at the bar both times, but I'd like to explore the bench and outdoor seating in the future. There's a pretty short menu of rotating cocktails, but I always find them strong and tasty. No matter which base liquor you enjoy, the bartender can whip up a good drink. I love how Gold Point was never crowded when I visited, probably because of the neighborhood (not located directly on Larimer) but also isn't empty. Typically pricey craft cocktails. Swanky atmosphere. Definitely check it out, whether you're looking for a bar to take a group, date, friend, or whatever. Lots of restaurants nearby too, so make it a whole evening!

Last night in good old Denver with the boys. First stop is here. This is a very nice place and it is not too dark in here. There is a lot of options drink wise with my first being a Latrice Royale, made with tequila and some other stuff. The bartenders here know what they are doing. Great service and mixer options are more than enough. We may hit up the late night menu but the drinks are calling for us now. I am looking to try a Zeddie Mercury next because it has tequila in it to. So far the experience out here has been awesome. Thanks Colorado.

Fine little dive bar in RiNo. We walked in through the bar and found a table outside immediately. The bartenders weren't the friendliest or very helpful so we definitely just grabbed 1 drink and headed out to the next bar. The outside area is super cute with lots of space, tables and lights. There was an outdoor bar type van thing with a guy selling drinks out of it. It was a pretty limited selection there though. I'd probably check out other bars when I am in the area - but it wasn't an awful stop on our "bar crawl" through RiNo.

This is one of my favorite craft cocktail bars on Larimer St. There is always something interesting on the menu. Occasionally, it will be a it weird (I tried a strange mushroom-themed cocktail with an onion garnish, which wasn't my thing), but 90% of the time, it will be excellent. The atmosphere is unpretentious, and it usually isn't too busy to find a spot to sit, so this is one of my go-to places.

Went here with hubby and friends and we each ordered various drinks and absolutely loved them all... there was one that was an orange dreamsicle with mezcal. I don't usually like mezcal but the way they crafted this drink.. it was a great use for it and it was delicious! Wish I remembered all the names but they were so unique and amazing.

This place should be called Fool's Gold. Or "Gold Point for Homophobes and Racists." My husband and I have talked for weeks about visiting this establishment because of its great curb appeal and inviting outdoor space. Today was the day, just before our walk over to Coors Field to catch a Rockies game. We're greeted by the bar back outdoors. We ask, "Do we seat ourselves?" He didn't bother to look up at us or acknowledge our humanity. Instead be barked, "Yeah! It is!" Although surprised and made to feel very uncomfortable we proceeded to ask our next question, which was "Do we order with you or at the bar inside?" He looked up at this point to roll his eyes and nod his head in the direction of the bar indoors. At that moment, we felt unwelcome, so we left. But my husband decided that we should be made to feel uncomfortable at an establishment we only wanted to patronize with our well-earned dollars. We went back into the bar and asked the bar back if we had offended him with our questions. He doubled down saying, "You didn't bother me but I was busy." No apologies. We ordered one drink and left. But we decided we'd never come back to this place again. Federales is just down the street and always welcoming and the waiters and bar backs are five times busier but still manage to find a nanosecond to say hello and greet newcomers. When did Larimer become something more akin to Williamsburg? Hospitality shouldn't be a forgone notion for the sake of being "trendy." As two former New Yorkers, we're used to rude behavior, just not in our new home of Denver. Times, they are a-changing!

Really love this spot. One of the best cocktail bars in RiNo. Surprisingly solid food as well. Had the whiskey sour, which has a stunning presentation, complete with the egg white. Also had the lobster bruschetta and the baked avocado with crab and pico. YUM! Love the interior and the music as well. If you're in RiNo, this is definitely a great spot to check out! It's young, hip, and good for foodies.

Stumbled upon this cozy bar while waiting for reservations at Mister Oso and let me tell you, this place is phenomenal! Tucked in a very unassuming building on Larimer, once you enter the door you immediately know that craft drinks are this place's forte! The cozy wood backdrops against dimly lit booths and tables sets the perfect scene for the cocktail artistry that you'll receive. The bartenders not only look cool but they are! Very personable as they skillfully craft the perfect cocktail. Three words: Boy Meets Whiskey. A perfect cocktail made with Japanese Whiskey. When I'm back in Denver, this place will definitely be on my list to visit again!

Best of times and great prices. $10 for the Clawdron and I added Aperol for $5. Their photo booth is $5 so bring some cash

Love this hipster little place. The drink, food, wine and section is good and you can't beat bar stools that face the street. Because it was pretty pricey, I probably won't come back unless asked or for a special occasion. I love the feel inside and the bruschetta we had was good even if very untraditional. Inside is dim and very cave like though, so just be aware of that.

This place was great! Stopped by with a large group and they had no problem sitting all of us together and having separate checks. The drinks tasted great and service was fantastic. I joked with the waiter about turning on the Zombies song by the Cranberries when I ordered the drink and he did. I will definitely be back for happy hours before date nights in downtown Denver.

Went for the first time with my girlfriend yesterday after I had walked past it a handful of times and really liked the look of the place. We both enjoyed our cocktails, thought that the outside seating area was nice and cozy, and really liked how it offered a more relaxed environment to sit around and enjoy each other's company. Service was great, we will be back for sure!

We frequent here quite a bit when we a looking for a chill vibe. Their drinks are good and the prices are reasonable. I do miss the hotdogs they sold since those were so so good. In place of the hotdogs, they added a small kitchen to the end of the bar which sells some lighter foods. I wouldn't consider it bar food but we tried a few and they were tasty. The people behind the bar and now kitchen have always been super nice. We will continue returning here!

First time here. I live in the neighborhood, and finally stopped in as the HH looked good. 2 wines for $6. HH is a good deal - but it's only from 5 to 6. The place is very loud. Loud Hip hop music made it's difficult to have a conversation with my friend. Added to that, the echo in the place is bad. We were eager to leave, so we didn't stay for dinner as planned. I prefer a more relaxing ambiance.

Yummy drinks and the best staff!! We live closeby and come here alllll the time. The ambience is also amazing at night, with the cute little booths and dim lighting.

We ended up here to use our Passports, but realized neither of us were fans of the offered beverage, so we got a wine and an old fashioned! This place is very cool inside, the decor, not the temp, there was no AC and I was dying. They have a great patio in the back and some seating with an open wall to the street in the front. The staff were super friendly. Gabe, the bartender, might have become my new bestie. After requesting a liqueur she didn't have, she let us try some sherries and one of her fav cocktails. We also had the marinated olives which were so good! We'll definitely be back!

Bar Fausto offers a pretty standard RiNo cocktail bar environment. Hipster modern industrial design and some fancy beverages. First a disclaimer here: 1. Ambiance is more important to me in a watering hole than almost anything else. This ambiance can range from no frills dive bar to prohibition speakeasy to luxury hotel bar, but regardless... critical importance. And 2. I'm a fan of sitting *at* the bar. Zero desire to sit at a table... in a bar. I want to be where the action is, see my drink being made. I want that incandescent bar lighting to illuminate my drinking companions' faces as we converse. But we sat at a table, due to our party being on the larger side. In fact, it was too large to sit at the booth tables that line the wall, so we had to sit near the entrance, which I especially do not recommend. It was cold, poorly lit, and lonesome. Bar Fausto: I am here to tell you, you'd be better off without those front-most tables. But anyhow, I appreciated that we were checked on often by a server, and the drinks were quite good. They have a big menu of cocktails and other fun things, like fishbowls full of cocktail for sharing (or not, that's what Uber's for y'all). The photo booth in the front is $5 (too rich for my blood, but luckily I got to take part as my friends indulged in some photo-shenanigans).

On my short trip to Denver I had time to enjoy a night out. My first stop was Bar Fausto. I had a delicious and well made Cocktail with Hendricks Gin from the drink menu. The Bartender has some serious mixing skills, She made us some complex mixed drinks. My co-worker ordered a customized cocktail. The resulting Cocktail, he did not like so I ended up with it, I enjoyed it very much, but not sure of what was in it. After the opening act Fausto drinks, I strolled and had Dinner down the road at a recommended Restaurant. We decided for a return nightcap to Bar Fausto. The mixing art skills, done by the professional staff with the amazing Scorpion Tattoo. When in Denver, need to chill out, enjoy some delicious Bar Fausto foods, and check out a rare Liquor collection, this Bar rocks, and it feels like home away from home!

I'd give negative stars if I could. The bouncer is incredibly rude and confrontational, made us feel unsafe. He ruined our entire night and was on a power trip. Bar Fausto was better. Absolutely wouldn't return, and we were excited to give it a try.

Bar tender.. lack for better words.. sucked. He had no customer service skills. Drinks were average but service overall was disappointing.

Not a fan of the bar tender.. he was off putting and rude we decided to go else where for drinks after the first round after talking to him. The drinks were alright and happy hour was average but he was rude. I would pass on this place

This place rocks! Speedy staff, great selection of cocktails, and they even carry the ever so popular Natty Lite. The decor makes me feel as if I'm floating in a Wes Anderson film. Oh, wait. I'm just on drugs. Either way, rad spot

Why yes, I would love to sample your smoked nuts. Oh my, they are quite smoky. You can taste to flavor in each and every nut that goes into your mouth. And I do agree, smoked nuts do add a certain je ne sais quois to a cocktail.

One of the best bars in Denver for very spirit-forward cocktails. If you prefer your drinks on the stiffer side and like whiskey -- this is your spot. #21, a cocktail which features bourbon washed in brown butter garnished with fresh sage, was absolute perfection. Their mezcal cocktail with cumin bitters (#56) was also amazing if you like smokey flavors. Both featured nice big blocks of ice to keep your drink cold but not overly diluted. Price point generally $10-12 per cocktail, which IMO very reasonable for the quality of their drinks (especially in comparison to the speakeasy places in town that are over-hyped and charge $15 for mediocrity ).

Yes! Might be a new favorite go-to spot for cocktails. My husband and I have been here twice now, and it's just what we were looking for -- good, strong, fairly priced cocktails in a low-key (not pretentious or crowded) bar. My favorite is the #97, which is like a margarita with a hint of ginger. They have about 12 custom cocktails, with unique ingredients like pisco, mezcal, and Tra-kal, as well as a host of traditional cocktails on the menu (and of course a full bar for any cocktail you'd want). The bartender was happy to answer our questions about said unique ingredients, and even gave us small tastes of a couple of the unique liquors. Even on a Saturday night in June around 10pm, the place was lively and busy but not crowded, and we easily got seats at the bar. I love that the back wall looks like a '90s roller rink, with painted stripes on the concrete wall. It feels like your neighborhood bar, if your neighborhood bar makes great cocktails and feels cool without trying too hard.

Love the staff here, special drinks are always fun and creative. The environment is cozy--photo booth, patio seating (bar service sometimes on patio as well which is nice), lots of different seating options inside for different group sizes. Maybe not a HUGE unexpected group kind of place (i.e. wedding party without calling ahead) but an awesome spot to stop in for a few drinks with friends.

Stopped into Bar Fausto for a casual date night with my husband and was thrilled with how cozy/intimate the space was and how well-prepared the drinks/food were! We were greeted immediately, served drinks and the daily bruschetta -- $6 during happy hour -- and taken great care of the entire time we were there. We went on to order the salmon dip, smoked nuts and roman gnocchi with short rib and it was all fantastic. Though the space has more of a bar feel, I was pleasantly surprised by how good all the food was! Since we were there during happy hour, we both grabbed drinks from that menu, but I can't wait to go back and try one of their original cocktails.

Quick little update: still love this place. So much. I came here this past Sunday evening for their holiday pop up, and I just can't get over how supportive and collaborative the creative community is here in Denver (it gives me all the feels). There were some local gems at the market and I went home with 99% of my holiday shopping finished. Wknd Chocolate, My Favourite Colour Studio, Animal Handmade, Banshee Press, and Mountains vs Plains were just a few of the artisans in attendance. The pop up was small compared to some of Denver's other holiday markets, but super intimate and manageable for those who attended. The snowy Sunday night plus drink-in-hand vibes were the perfect way to finish up my holiday shopping. Speaking of drinks in hands, I have found my new winter cocktail! Fausto's new seasonal menu has arrived, and the #32 with rum, sherry, and campari is equal parts festive and boozy. If you're feeling hungry, might I suggest the smoked trout bruschetta with radishes, roe, dill, and lemon zest? (It's all sorts of amazing.) I'll be back soon for a #32 and to try the fernet branca soft serve, because whattttt??!

Amazing atmosphere and drink. Not crowded at all. For the quality of their drinks they should have more customers. I got the brandy with white chocolate shavings. Sounds weird tastes beyond amazing. The whiskey sour was solid and looked beautiful. 100% would recommend and come back.

Bar Fausto is quickly becoming one of my favorite neighborhood spots. It's a cocktail bar first with a non-fussy menu of lighter Italian fare for snacking (or a full meal, if that's what you're feeling). It's "seat yourself" casual but you can get as fancy as you want. The cocktail list is huge, but my standby is the Ramos Gin Fizz. I first encountered this classic, labor intensive egg white cocktail in NOLA and Fausto's stands up to the best of them. I also enjoy their ever-changing bruschettas for snacking as well as the radish and butter small plate. There are some decent, hearty salads as well. Most notable is their recent add of the 1st Avenue Sangria to the happy hour menu. If you were lucky enough to remember/patron Sketch on 1st and Broadway (shared an owner/building with El Diablo and eventually the whole building was condemned), then it is likely that you've had this sangria before (a couple of the guys who worked at Sketch are now at Fausto and brought the super secret sangria recipes with them!). At happy hour it is $6 and just one will get you plenty buzzed. I'm partial to the white version made with gin, vodka, and lots of booze soaked pineapple. My husband and I moved from the Baker/Speer area to the RiNo/Cole hood five years ago and always lamented our loss of a great bar in Sketch and their night-ending sangria. Turns out if you wait long enough, the sangria will come to you!

I love this bar! Bar Fausto is beautiful, the staff is always attentive, and the drinks are always delish. It's definitely a cocktail bar in RiNo, but it's kind of farther down so it tends to get less traffic (or so it seems the times I've been). It was a great first date spot! The drinks are pricey, which is why it's not somewhere I go easily, but I've always been impressed. The drinks tend to take a little long to prep, but I'm for it if it means I'm getting a really solid cocktail. I always have a great interaction with the wait staff, they are always so knowledgeable and able to help me pick the best drinks. The service is fantastic. Parking is RiNo, so it's a free for all, but I have never had any issues.

Amazing outdoor patio for quarantine summer! They have great COVID safety protocols in place. Tasty cocktails and good vibes. Will be our new neighborhood go-to.

This was a block away from our AirbNb so we meandered in one evening. It wasn't too busy for a Friday night, though it did pick up closer to midnight. The atmosphere is great! I loved it. Definitely my style, my vibe. The server was not very kind. She was sweet to my husband... but she was curt with me and she obviously thought I was a pain in the ass.... for asking her to wipe our dirty table. The first interaction, already off on the wrong foot. I ordered a drink on their speciality list, French 75. That's a standard bar drink. Flat champagne, wrong proportions. I didnt even drink it all. My husband threw me under the bus and we ordered a cucumber gin gimlet. I don't think the bartender had ever made a gimlet, lol. It was absolutely gross. I was done. Two poor drinks, not trying a third, lol. My husband asked them to remake the gkmlet, against my very strong verbal desire of "no". It was pure lime juice. No mixer, no alcohol, no cucumber, pure lime juice. He ordered a Manhattan and loved it! I would return to try a new server and bartender out.

Great whiskey selection. Great music. Great bar staff. Next time im in town im definitely sliding through

This is a cute little neighborhood bar. I came in for a drink while I was waiting on my guy to finish a business meeting. I took a seat at the end of the bar and was greeted by someone who was working from the other end of the bar. Me and my one margarita had excellent service. This is a cute little neighborhood date spot with a hip atmosphere, and cozy little booths, but little to offer on their menu.

This is a solid bar that was vaguely on my radar for some time. I don't get down to this area of town too often so I knew I would have to almost stumble upon it to actually go. Location/Decor: Is RiNo awesome or is it just me? Pro to this places location is more street parking is available. Con to this place is that in comparison to some other spots it is kind off the beaten path. Swanky and very cool! I loved the photo booth at the front - very nice touch. We sat at the street facing bar which made the people watching very entertaining. I will say though that I felt like we were missing something because the vast majority of the crowds were in the belly of the business. Drinks: I had just one drink here - a Manhattan and is was average plus in my opinion. My girlfriend had a Mai Tai that I thought was not very good - too tart believe it or not. Finally, my husband had a gin and soda so basically they can't screw that up. Staff: I didn't have too much interaction with the staff but the young man who helped our section was amazing and totally on the ball. Overall, Bar Fausto is a great option if in the neighborhood - it's trendy and as we all know the kids like that!!!!

Well-managed folks, drinks are still excellent post covid. Thank you very much for doing your best to open up we will be here next weekend.

So happy y'all are back and better than ever! I feel very safe because of their COVID protocol and even better that Fabio has joined us at our favorite neighborhood bar

Thanks for signing up on Door Dash, having me place my order, and then telling my driver you don't actually do door dash once I can't cancel my order anymore.
