The Family Jones Spirit House

"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

"The Family Jones Spirit House is hard to pin down, and that’s precisely why we love it — a distillery, a bar, and a restaurant combined, each with talent at the top of their respective games steering the larger ship." - 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

"One of Denver’s newest distilleries is worth a stop for its combination spirits, bar, and food programs. Entirely house-made mixed drinks together with elevated paired dishes make for the full tasting experience inside a a plush and modern setting." - Josie Sexton
