Distillery bar crafting unique cocktails & small plates with house spirits
"This gorgeous combination distillery, tasting room, and kitchen won Eater’s 2018 Denver Bar of the Year award, and it continues to impress as it showcases its house spirits every which way — in flights; featured bottlings such as the single-barrel Atticus Jones Distiller’s Selection Colorado Straight Rye Whiskey; and cocktails like Chaos & Harmony with rum, cilantro, jalapeño, tomato water, and lime. Even the snacks go beyond the ordinary: Think roasted green chile cornbread with honey butter and green tomato marmalade or pretzel twists with red pepper goat cheese." - Ruth Tobias, Josie Sexton, Eater Staff
"At Family Jones Spirit House, the knockout decor makes for an auspicious setting for a first date, but it's approachable enough to suit anyone. Charmingly presented in little photo albums with pictures of “the family,” the drink menu offers about 20 seasonal cocktails that highlight the house spirits with distinctly culinary verve. Produce, herbs, and spices add texture and zing to drinks like the creamy signature avocado-passionfruit daiquiri; the pechuga-based Pineapple Pastor, zippy with jalapeño, cilantro, lime, and sea salt; and the holiday-festive Automatic Jones combining rye, raisins, cherries, and warm spices like star anise." - Ruth Tobias
"A hybrid distillery, bar, and restaurant anchored by an on-display copper still and a half-moon bar, this project emphasizes house-made spirits, crèmes, and shrubs, inventive cocktails, and a food program that pairs well with the drinks while holding its own. The collaboration between distiller, barman, and chef creates a layered destination that feels like a fresh next step for the city’s bar scene." - Eater Staff
"Hard to pin down in the best way, the Family Jones Spirit House blends a distillery, a bar, and a restaurant into one cohesive operation; distiller Rob Masters sets the tone with an imposing copper still perched above the half-moon bar, bar experts Amanda Houghtaling and Nick Touch craft drinks using all-house spirits, crèmes, and shrubs, and chef Tim Dotson turns out a food menu that pairs with the drinks but also stands on its own. I see this as Denver’s bar scene 2.0—a refreshing twist amid a city that’s produced its share of over-the-top cocktails." - Josie Sexton
"LoHi’s jaw-dropping distillery is offering chilly drinkers a hot pumpkin cocktail making use of Mo Jones Rum and Family Jones amaretto spirits, plus pumpkin puree. It’s topped in pecan whipped cream." - Rebecca Treon
