Provision

This building is absolutely stunning! The attention to detail goes above and beyond what you would expect. The branded paper towels in the bathroom, welcoming aroma of mahogany teakwood (my favorite scent), and ambiance complete with gorgeous cutlery, dim lighting, and enjoyable music- easily puts provision at the top for most aesthetically pleasing restaurant in castle rock. Looks aside, the food and service were equally as great! The bartender was friendly, knowledgeable, and made excellent suggestions. My food was a 10/10, the charcuterie board is put together so beautifully and has one of the best cheese selections I have found in a restaurant. I also had the gnocchi, which was cooked to perfection and just the right amount of spicy. Along with the steak tips which came with a horseradish sauce that was absolutely to die for- I wish I could put it on literally everything. The steak was tender, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection. We finished our meal with crème brûlée, which I loved! I am not a huge sweets fan so I appreciated the simplistic, classic approach of this dish. The custard was light and well prepared, it came out garnished beautifully with strawberries. This is the perfect place for a date night, special occasion, or if you want real, quality, fine dining in the castle rock area. 10/10- I will be back!

This speakeasy-type bar and restaurant is dark inside and a throwback to early days when a well-lit bar was not what you wanted. This was our second time visiting and we came for the happy hour that runs from 4-6 Wed-Sat. We planned on having dinner and the grilled cheese and gnocchi were great. The chef takes the humble grilled cheese sandwich and makes it special with the right choice of cheese grilled to perfection. I had the gnocchi with a tasty and somewhat spicy sauce. The fresh shedded basil was a nice touch. When the GM, Tyler checked on us we asked him why they stopped making the short rib grilled cheese. He said it was too much work considering the short rib was only used on the sandwich. He suggested we try the grilled cheese sandwich with sautéed prime filet tips. It was fantastic. Note that it's not on the menu but if you ask, you might get one of these amazing sandwiches for your self. The creative cocktails are good and I was pleased with the happy hour cabernet sauvignon. My sister swoons over their warm cookies and maybe next time we'll try the ice cream sundae if we have room for dessert. Castle Rock is lucky to have Provision serving up good cocktails and food.

The only saving grace was the server… he was extremely friendly and personable, however, service was abysmally slow. 25 min to get drinks, 45 min for appetizers. Halibut was tiny and overcooked, tasted like tilapia. Everything else was decent but nothing special. Definitely won’t be back

What a gem in the heart of Castle Rock. I was thoroughly impressed with the craftsmanship and care put into the cocktails here. The old fashioned with Michter’s bourbon was simple and divine. The Crumble Butter with a brown butter fat wash — served with a brown butter cookie! — was an absolute show stopper. Just phenomenal and a must-order every time I go back. Highly recommend!

Updated review 3: Came in an hour before close on Saturday night. One of the bartenders seemed inebriated and maybe that's why service was a lil off. We weren't acknowledged by the bartenders for a bit. The bar back was nice enough to get our first drink orders. My second drink order was actually given to the wrong person at first by said inebriated bartender even though I had ordered it from him minutes before. It was a lil weird. The bar wasn't even that busy. Was def an off night. Updated review 2: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Another great experience! Drinks are always spectacular, service was great and ambiance is lovely. Updated review 1: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I am happy to say that my experience my second time here was much better! It was much more lively on a Friday night. Ambiance is nice here for sure. My husband and I sat at the bar. I ordered the dirty vodka martini and it was amazing, it was the best dirty martini l've ever had! My husband got the high fashioned which was also great. Josh the bartender did an amazing job on our drinks. We look forward to coming back. First review: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Went an hour before closing. The bartenders weren't very friendly but the drinks were amazing! The ambiance was nice, but the place was nearly empty so it felt a little odd being in there. I will come back for the drinks and bartenders skill alone.

One of my all time favorite bars, especially for after dinner drinks! The decor, the ambience, the dark colors and candle light make this high end cocktail lounge feel intimate and cozy! The hand crafted cocktails are seriously divine! I love all of the cocktails that I've tried, but my all time favorite is the meringue! It tastes like dessert in a glass! The one down size, is that they are always busy, so be prepared to wait. And sometimes the service can be slow when the restaurant is packed. But those are small prices to pay for a great cocktail in a bar with a great atmosphere! Highly recommend.

Dinner at Provisions is new. We like to go here so we thought we would invite some of our friends to share in the new dinner experience. The menu was small, my halibut for $42 was 2”squared. With maybe 3/4 cup of rice. Our friends filet salad had 4 little pieces of meat and the rest of the salad was left untouched as she said it had no flavor. My wife’s grilled cheese was greasy and had that grill taste. No very appealing. Great place for drinks just not for dinner. We spent nearly $500 and definitely did not get our money’s worth.

Great place for cocktails. We stopped in during the lighting of the Star 🌟 great atmosphere, little pricey, but worth the visit.

I'm still a regular. Great craft cocktails, great food, nice people. I'm running out of things to say! Great ambiance, a credit to Castle Rock, not generally known for cool vibes. As for recent reviewer Daniel S., may I respectfully point out that you can't just walk into a food service establishment with 35 people at any time of day, much less near closing, and expect perfect service. That's the purpose of calling ahead and making reservations, to let them get prepared for you. Work _with_ the establishment, not against it, and they'll take care of you. It's not reasonable to just walk in without giving them warning, then complain about the result. That's on you.

Do you love amazing craft cocktails? This place is amazing. A wonderful addition to the Castle Rock bar scene. A dark cozy atmosphere with attentive bar tenders and servers.

We had reservations but waited a bit at the front before being acknowledged. Once we were seated the experience was amazing. The ambiance was top tier and was decorated nicely for the holidays... but not overdone. The drinks were spectacular and the short rib grilled cheese was so delicious. We were consistently checked on to see if there was anything else we needed. We will definitely be returning! We were told their seasonal drinks change twice a year... maybe more often will keep people coming back to try new things? A great place for a girls night or date night!

Very impressed with this spot. The fact that this place use to be named "the dirty" by us growing up before this place took over, left me mind blown. It's totally changed and so beautiful designed. I love the vibes here, and the drinks are very unique. Love love loved the raspberry purple rain drink with gin.

Came in an hour before close on Saturday night. One of the bartenders seemed inebriated and maybe that's why service was a lil off. We weren't acknowledged by the bartenders for a bit. The bar back was nice enough to get our first drink orders. My second drink order was actually given to the wrong person at first by said inebriated bartender even though I had ordered it from him minutes before. It was a lil weird. The bar wasn't even that busy. Was def an off night.

Our first visit and we'll definitely be back! I'd give 5 stars to the design aesthetic. It's beautiful, with a ton of attention to detail, down to the bathroom and the speakeasy special events room hidden behind a bookcase. And little adorable forks with the dates and charcuterie! I'd give 3 stars for the seating options. This is lounge-style, with no at-table seating, just couches, chairs, and bar seating. If you're a couple, you may share space with others. This would be great for a group of 4 with drinks and nibbles. It was a bit awkward for two who wanted a date night and had food where you had to hold your plate in front of you to not make a mess. It would be nice to have some options for tables, maybe. We'd give 4 stars for the drinks. My cosmo spin was delicious, but my husband thought the "high fashion" was too heavy on the bitters. His second drink, "lost in Louisiana," he really liked. And holy hell, 5 stars for the dates! They're $8 for 3, but they're worth it and we ordered two batches. The charcuterie board was also good - a good price and a decent amount of meats and cheeses. 4 stars for the food overall. We both also had the short rib grilled cheese, which was nice, but nothing special. Service was also 4 stars. Some lulls in service, but overall, attentive and nice. We'll be back, but probably for cocktails and nibbles or flatbread, not a full dinner. Nice to have an option like this in Castle Rock!

Great Vibe, cool and comfy seating. Drink selection was extensive and our choices were delicious. We will be back. Food looked good, but we had already eaten

Very cool, very neat cocktail bar. Reminiscent of the piano bars of old, dark, comfortable couches for seating. Very romantic! First date kind of atmosphere. The drinks are very inventive and yummy. Some good offerings, but you're not going to go there for the eats!

This is a hidden gem in Castle Rock! We decided to come here for drinks last night and were able to make a reservation through OpenTable. This place has such a cozy yet mysterious vibe- everything here is matte black with dim lighting - I loved it! Service is so nice - our server made the best suggestions for drinks and kept checking on us. We weren't here for food but decided to get the fancy grilled cheese - unexpectedly comforting and the perfect amount of spice and cheese! We love this place! I highly recommend coming here for cocktails! Btw the bartenders are skilled in fire breathing tricks! I'm a new fan of provision! Highly recommend this place!

The best cocktail bar in castle rock! I love the drinks and the holiday menus. I love how cozy it is inside and you can dress up or dress more casual depending on your mood! It's the best spot!

Provision has become a weekly staple for me and I don't even live in Castle Rock! The staff is the friendliest staff you will encounter, the drinks are amazing, and the ambiance is super chill and romantic! You will not be disappointed in going here!

A hidden gem in downtown Castle Rock. Craft cocktails and amazing ambiance. Outside seating too!

Fantastic service and fabulous (specialty) drink option. Menu is on the lighter side with a just a fee options but really, one should come here to enjoy drinks and great conversation (with friends and staff alike). The beautiful concoctions are skillfully mixed and perfectly balanced. Name your "poison" and you'll get a wonderful cocktail in return. So many lovely things to point out about Provision. Between the pleasant and fun staff to the peaceful atmosphere, being at Provision was a pleasure. Definitely recommend for a great date night or meetup with friends.

This is a very unique venue, especially for Castle Rock. We've visited twice in the past few weeks and both were exceptional. This is not some place you go for a full blown dinner, rather, this is where you go after that dinner. There are a few tables, but mostly sofas and club chairs with some tucked into nooks and others in the open. Our servers, Bree and Collin, were awesome! It is, for me anyway, a cross between a cocktail bar and a speak-easy. They offer some pretty awesome drinks and a light appetizer menu. The atmosphere is dark and if I had to describe it in one word....sultry. Try it! It's pretty cool!

Bree was our wonderful host. She treated us like GOLD! Coming back to Castle Rock after a 2 1/2 year absence and seeing all the new construction was mind blowing. Provision used to be a bar that was coined "The Dirty Bar", amazing transformation. Provision delivered in every category. Food, Service, Quality, and Ambience. Had such a great time I came back the very next night. My date was a disaster but I guess it wasn't meant to be. Shout out to Bree for being super Awesome!

We had a party of about 30-35 come in at 9:30, they announced last call after we were all sitting there waiting for service. Consider a manager that has common business sense? They also denied half of our party drinks because they wanted to shut down early.

Nice, cozy, upscale cocktail bar. Great place for an after-dinner drink for two or with friends. We ended up being right by the hostess stand and front door, so I'm guessing it's even cozier as you get further back into the place. Cool menu with lots of seasonal and every-day drinks. I had two different drinks off their whiskey menu. The first...I forget the name...was their version of a fairly basic Old Fashioned/Manhattan. It was good, but not at all large. Love the single-cube ice cube though. For my second drink, I went with the Velvet Revolver, which was also really good. That'll probably be my go-to on future visits, assuming I don't want to experiment with anything else. My wife drank wine like she usually does. Service was a bit slow at times, but at least she was friendly, and luckily we didn't go thirsty for too long.

Tyler's name was the easiest to remember, but he was also one of the most attentive bartenders ever! Not to mention the drinks he made were the best I ever had. Alex and the other bartenders were also amazing. Living in castle rock, I can't believe this is my first time here and it certainly won't be my last :)

Can't believe that I've never left a review on this place. I've been all over the country and I can say for certain this is the best bar/lounge I've ever been to. ALL of the drinks are PERFECT! Haven't had a bad drink ever. I don't even care for gin but they make me enjoy their gin drinks as well. The bartenders and host are all AMAZING. I have nothing but great things to say. It's perfect. The set up and layout is accommodating for small to medium sized groups. Music is played but it's not loud which is perfect. I hate places that play music so loud I have to scream at the bartender to order a drink. If you're ever in the area stop by. It's well worth your time and money.

First thing I noticed when we walked in was how AMAZING it smelled in here. Ambiance is perfection! Dark, cozy, modern, classy. The birch trees are such a fun touch to the decor. It truly feels like a secret spot in here. Big fan of the cocktail menu as well. Fun drinks, very fun bar staff. Tyler was very sweet and a great mixologist. I can't wait to come back next time I'm in town.

What a cool place ... the drinks were so fun and the braised beef tacos were so delicious can't wait to get back to this place for a date night

We came here for drinks before dinner. Staff were very friendly. Ambiance was fun low lit and vibey. Great for a date night or friend hang on the couches. Drinks were all very good.

Stopped in for a drink before grabbing dinner. Super cool atmosphere inside. Really enjoyed watching the drinks get made and they were extremely tasty. Would definitely go back.

My husband and I stopped in on a Thursday night for drinks and dessert. Hubby ordered an Embers cocktail and I had the Meringue. The Meringue was one of the most delicious cocktails I have ever had! We shared the crème brûlée and it was perfection. The music was a volume that allowed for easy conversation and there was plenty of seating available. You need a reservation on the weekends though. Service was also excellent - shout out to Alex and Josh.

FINALLY! This is the speakeasy Castle Rock needed! HH, Date night, GNO, night cap, this is your spot. I've been missing the downtown bars and overall quality of cocktails DTCR has to offer but have always been disappointed. Provision will be the only place I go when I'm craving a high quality cocktail and a classy lounge atmosphere. The ambiance was on point. I felt like I was being transported out of Castle Rock completely. The interior design is so well done. They have perfectly placed seating and it feels intimate and cozy but you can fit quite a few people in here. My fav thing about the building itself was that they kept some of the original brick and it's exposed so you can see it from the inside when you walk in. It's a tasteful nod to the old OG Castle Rock. Now to the DRINKS bc they need their own section. I would say I'm picky on this. I can make my own drinks and usually do bc everywhere has average at best in creativity and flavor profile. If a place adds egg white to a cocktail then I know they know a thing or two about mixology. Please take my $15 for a drink if it's good quality. This is that place. I'm a gin girl so I tried several items on the menu. But the beauty of an upscale place like this is they can make anything you want. Describe what you like, flavors, bubbly, etc and they will fix something up for you. If you don't like it, they'll take it off your tab. I'd say the drinks are strong and like I said, I had several...I can report that I didn't have a hangover the next day. Top shelf isn't overrated. I am going to have to come back for food because I didn't get to try anything the night I went but their grilled cheese looked so good! I'll have to update my review after I try it. From memory, the menu was actually impressive for a bar. I expected charcuterie or tapas at best but we definitely could have had dinner with our drinks. Overall I highly recommend this place but also hope it stays a hidden gem. I didn't realize they accepted reservations so I'll be taking advantage of that in the future. Please please please support them so they stay in business! I hate seeing all the places closing around town. It's tough out there for your local business.

The ambiance and service is amazing. When you walk through the doors you will see what I mean. This place is chill and they make all their syrups from scratch. High class and upscale and elegance.

I had the pleasure to visit Provision with a couple of friends of mine that just moved to Castle Rock early this year, and I was BLOWN AWAY with the service and especially the craft cocktails made by General Manager Tyler Clanton. The atmosphere was Las Vegas like - cool eclectic vibe with a Speakeasy feel. Wade J. Bohn (Friends of Jimmy & Z from Castle Rock)

Best upscale bar in Castle Rock Amazing cocktails and the Bartenders are super awsome big shoutout to Tyler and Alex!

Ambiance is a 10, exactly the bar scene I've been looking for in Colorado for a long time. Service is also a 10. We had a dinner reservation make us over 30 minutes late and the staff called and text me that if we were still coming they would hold a table for us. Now that's service.

We hosted my mom's surprise birthday here. Tyler and his team were incredible to work with! They were so attentive to all the guests. They made sure the food was out one time and that all food requirements were taken care of (ie gluten-free). Everything tasted great! The ambiance was incredible too. They made sure we had enough space for our party without feeling cramped. 10 out of 10 would recommend it! Thank you Tyler and team!

As former Denver residents, one of the things we've missed most living in Castle Rock are high end cocktail bars. Death & Co., Tartarian, and Union Lodge No. 1 are some of our faves. This is why we were SO excited about Provision opening in Castle Rock. We finally visited last night for our anniversary and while there were some incredible highlights, I left feeling really disappointed. First, the good! When I walked in the door, my jaw dropped at how beautiful this place is. YES! Castle Rock has been needing a sexy, adults only bar perfect for date nights, ladies nights out, etc. I LOVED the vibe... but more on this later. THE DRINKS! YES! I see others saying that they're expensive and they are. BUT, they are worth it and the prices are on par with any similar bar with truly artful libations. My husband and I each had 3, and The Gettin' Mezzy was by far my favorite. Smoky, sweet, and creative perfection. We eventually ended up sitting at the bar, and this is always our favorite place to be because watching the bartenders/mixologists is always like getting a show. Upon first observation, the gentlemen crafting the cocktails looked young- did they have the chops of the people at the well known cocktail spots we love?! The answer is yes! These youngsters certainly have talent and are sure to age well, like a coveted whiskey! Because Provision is newer, I certainly would expect some kinks in their operation. We experienced the following- We had a 6:30 reservation. I watched the hostess seat a walk-in right before us which is absolutely fine, but then suddenly no room for us and we had to wait about 10 minutes. Eh- it happens, especially as a place and a staff is learning it's flow. When we finally were seated, we were seated next to a couple with an infant- WHAT?! Don't make me out to be a baby hater! I'm not, but the thing is, Castle Rock is kiddo central! Literally every restaurant and brewery has families with children and even the smallest and the best behaved change the vibe. Sometimes my hubs and I want an ADULT date night, especially for an anniversary. I thought this was supposed to be the place?! Ugh. As we were waiting for our drinks, wondering if we were celebrating a baby shower or our special day, my phone rang. It was the host, wondering if we were coming in for our reservation. Yes dude, you've already seated us. I took this opportunity to walk up front and kindly ask to be reseated so that we were not sharing our table with a newborn and we were- yay! We were finally settled in, happily enjoying each other and socializing with fellow patrons. We ran into a number of friends and neighbors- so fun! At this point I could have absolutely overlooked the aforementioned hiccups as growing pains and doled out a 5 star review, but... But this is where my night came crashing down. My friend Jen recently had an ACL surgery, and I was so happy to see that she was out. As I watched her making her way back to the bar on crutches, I quoted Forest Gump and loudly teased her over the din of the bar, "run Jen, run!" Immediately a giant man in a white thermal (I think he was the manager's/owner's sig other?!) rudely admonished me, "you can't yell in here, we're not that type of bar." Excuse me, Mr. Fun Police! I also thought you weren't the kind of bar where babies got to join mom and dad, and yet that happened, so... Yes, I'm a loud and boisterous person. I'll own that in my excitement I might have been a little too loud for a brief second. However, I'm far from a disruptive patron. I've worked in the industry, If you are running a place like this, I appreciate that you're trying to maintain a particular atmosphere. If a customer seems to be getting loud, watch them for a minute before berating them. Was the small incident a one off that should be dismissed, or are they really problematic? Let me tell you, I was not the latter. I asked for our bill, which was well over $100 for 6 drinks and two teensy snacks, tipped 30% because it certainly wasn't the staff's fault that their boss is on some sort of a power trip, and moved down the street to another place where customers aren't treated like dirt. Provision, you may be busy now and you have INCREDIBLE potential, but being downright mean to customers who are willing to drop big money on nights out at least a least a couple of times a week is not the way to success long term. You're definitely not embodying the peacefulness of the dove as you claim to. I will not be encouraging friends and neighbors to head your way, and the drinks and the bars at Dos Santos and Tribe will continue to quench my thirst and need for local adult nights out if I'm not headed to Denver.

Not a huge fan. The environment is very cool- the front desk ladies are not. The place seems like it would be a very cool lounge vibe type place. Which it should be- they treat it like a speak easy. You have to have a reservation- you can't just sit at the bar- the front desk girls act like they are too good for every person that walks in. The manager was very sweet and very accommodating. Personal opinion- if you want it to be speak easy - change the lay out. It needs to be closed at the front- & a secret entrance to the back. I think the way it currently is they should just let people come in, first come first serve. If you want a seating area, that is a reservation. I was not impressed at all & very out off by the front desk girls. Bar tenders and servers were great.

This place never disappoints. I have been coming here for over a year now and the service and drinks are always on point. Love this place and always will recommend!! Thanks Tyler!

Top shelf Great drinks and friendly staff. Enjoyed my time there. Relaxing atmosphere

Wants to vibe like a New York bar but it feels a little jank. The "hostess" was a little cold to all three parties that entered after us. Felt like they were trying to create a fake "you're just lucky that we allowed you in" Vegas/New York vibe". With that said cocktails were good, but be prepared that you'll pay 30 for a margarita.

We are going there tonight to celebrate our anniversary. What I love is the atmosphere, lack of crowds (very important), and ability to hear each other talk. Then, on top of all that, great selection of spirits, terrific service, and the feeling you are someplace special. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but you get that back in value.

Great place to come for cocktails and other drinks! Definitely recommend the food and sweets! We spent our anniversary here and felt very pleased with the service.

Excellent service and cocktails! Been coming here for years, and really looking forward to a new seasonal cocktail menu. Tyler's chocolate martini is one of the best cocktails I've had in a long time *hint hint*

The Wilcox Mule. Best mule I've had. This place has an awesome atmosphere as well as great service.

Good service and drinks. We enjoyed the variety. Recommend sitting at the bar to watch the bartender's work.

The atmosphere of Provision was really nice. It is quiet and easy to talk amongst your group. However...the drinks, meh. $15 per drink and they were small and the mix of alcohol to mixers was just off. The Mule had more lime than ginger beer or vodka, The Mezzy was also heavy on lime and not much else. The waiter was attentive at first but after our drinks came, he disappeared. He finally checked back and we mentioned the mix being off on the mule and he was very defensive and just talked about the pour being the standard 2 oz; we didn't complain about the pour, just the mix being off. Probably would not head back here.

Very expensive but fun for a special occasion. Quite the loud atmosphere. Drinks were very nicely prepared. The charcuterie board was nice but there is no way that is enough to feed the amount of people they claim. There isn't even enough crostinis for everyone to have one piece.

This was such a fun place for after dinner drinks with my husband! We will definitely be coming back with family & friends. The staff was fun & friendly & recommended some of their favorite drinks. Such a perfect place for a drink & appetizers before dinner or drinks & desserts after dinner! Date night approved! So happy to have this in downtown Castle Rock!

Great place in downton Castle Rock! Smoked old fashioneds are awesome!. See Alexander!. Great food. Blue cheese bacon wrapped dates are awesome!.

Came here with my wife a couple weeks back to celebrate my birthday. Definitely a nice spot to get away. The drinks we had were all well made and staff was very friendly. I think the prices were fair as they use quality liquor and ingredients in the cocktails. We'll plan on coming back and exploring the cocktail menu a bit more

If you're looking for a relatively quiet high end bar that best suits stimulating conversation and peckish appetites, look no further. The staff warmly accommodated any request and openly received feedback on their new drinks and dishes. I'm not a local but I will be back next time I'm in town. Castle Rock, I'll never forgive you if Provision goes unnoticed while I'm gone.

I had a very disappointing experience last week that turned into somehow a more disappointing and even offensive conversation with the manager today. My friends and I went to Provision last week with my 4 month old baby. It was obvious we had the baby when we came in, they had to find seating that would accommodate the stroller. We'd been there a few minutes and my baby started crying, as we began soothing her (and less than a minute after she had started crying), the manager came over and said, "We have a policy against crying babies." Not "we don't allow babies", but specifically "a policy against crying babies." She then snarkily followed it up with "that's not the vibe we're going for." While I get that, crying babies aren't anyone's vibe, including mine, then simply say at the door, "We don't allow babies." I called today to follow up before writing this review, hoping to help them understand how it felt like they were mom-shaming me. The manager explained that "other people were celebrating things like anniversaries and going on dates, and your baby was annoying them." I suggested that in the future they say at the door that babies aren't allowed or that if they do come in, they'll have to leave if they begin crying instead of waiting until we're seated and in the middle of trying to soothe my child. I also recommended not calling patrons' babies annoying and not undermining the experience I was also trying to have - which was celebrating - just because I have a baby. Overall, it left a really bad taste in my mouth and considering how family-friendly Castle Rock tends to be, I'm quite disappointed in how we were treated because of a very normal baby reaction that we were attempting to stop.

Super fun local bar downtown. Not my "go-to" but still a great bar and experience. Definitely on the pricier side. But always a good time!

Excellent cocktails in a classy beautiful setting. Tyler the bar manager is a great mixologist and very friendly and informative . You can't go wrong with this place.
