Hudson Hill

"Capitol Hill’s combination coffee and cocktail bar is a stylish day-to-night hangout serving all the usual potable suspects along with quickie breakfasts and snacks (including a fabulous grilled cheese sandwich). For an alternative to joe, try the spicy house chai or a turmeric latte; for an alternative to this location, owner Jake Soffes runs a similarly hip operation called the Wild across from Union Station." - Ruth Tobias

"Jake Soffes owns three other notable Denver watering holes — LoHi’s Lady Jane, LoDo’s The Wild, and RiNo’s Two Moons Music Hall — but his flagship Cap Hill establishment stands out for an urban loft–like ambiance that spells comfort to its habitués by day and intimacy to couples by night. Part coffeehouse, part cocktail haunt, it pours turmeric lattes and concoctions like the Highway Robbery (vodka, rum, amaro, cantaloupe, and absinthe) with equal aplomb — though its grilled cheese sandwich is as good a reason to visit as any." - Ruth Tobias, Josie Sexton, Eater Staff

"Capitol Hill’s combination coffee and cocktail bar is a stylish day-to-night hangout serving all the usual potable suspects along with quickie breakfasts and snacks. For an alternative to joe, try a Thai tea spritz or Golden Root turmeric latte; for an alternative to this location, owner Jake Soffes runs a similarly hip operation called The Wild across from Union Station." - Ruth Tobias, Eater Staff

"Open from early in the morning until late in the evening, Hudson Hill is equal parts coffeehouse and cocktail bar, and it flaunts its day-to-night style with aplomb. Owner Jake Soffes' hand-built lever machine does justice to the locally roasted, single-origin coffee beans, pulling cappuccinos that come in gold-rimmed cups and saucers, spot-on cortados, and other classics. But before you settle for the usual, you should ask about the daily special—it might be a Thai tea spritz flavored with pineapple and lavender or a proprietary chai-spiced mocha. You might even ask yourself whether you don’t deserve a cold brew spiked with gin and Campari, Negroni-style." - Ruth Tobias
