The Wild

We went in the morning and got toast and jam, little latte, and a mimosa to start our day! We can tell the atmosphere here is really nice definitely during cocktail hours but we couldn’t make it. Easy to say that we had a good time though!

Their happy hour deals are worth it - $8 espresso martinis! I don’t think there is any food on the happy hour but the couple small things I’ve had here have been great. Bread and butter comes with flaky sea salt. The location is perfect and their outside space is great.

This place is a delight! Aesthetically pleasing, cozy, friendly and charming humans. Not to mention stellar bites and coffee. I had a big bowl of fresh grapefruit drizzled with honey for $5 and top-notch flavor packed balanced batch brew coffee. They also have a stellar collection of local-whiskies from distillery Strabahans . Kara, Dmitri, and Matt are quite possibly the kindest, coolest, and knowledgeable humans I’ve ever met! Amazing service hands down must see in Denver.

Craft cocktail bar serving house signature and classic cocktails as well as beer and wine. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable about the menu items. Ordered a Bemba Rosa and a Paper Star. Both tasted as good as they looked. Great presentation and flavors. In the evenings they dont have an extensive food menu but rather snacks and cheese and meat selections. We went with “The Board”, which included any 3 meats and or cheeses of choice. At $37 it seemed like a pricey option but it did not disappoint. In fact it once it arrived it seemed well worth the price. Excellent presentation and additional items such as sliced apples, bread, nuts, pickles, and dried fruit were also included. The quantity was perfect for the 2 of us to share.

We just had some coffees and muffin, but cute place to go on dates and cocktail collection also seems pretty good.

Firstly I didn't have any food so not going to give a rating on the food, certainly not a 0 star. The atmosphere was great! Nice quaint little spot just far away from the road and union station where you can have some peace and quiet also a beautiful little spot. Plenty of options on the menu, personally I went for the Italian pilsner and my partner the espresso martini both were great!

Drank here July 31, 2024 July 31, 2024 Amanda, Madeline, Rita, and I went to The Wild in Denver for a few drinks and a snack before seeing Joan Jett and The Blackhearts and Alanis Morrisette!

I've been living in Denver for a year now and this is my most favorite coffee place. Not top 10 or even top 3, this IS the TOP. It's nicely hidden that not too busy, you can sit and work. In fact I'm writing the review while chilling there. I love their London Fog but I also go for just regular iced tea sweetened with simple syrup and a lime. Also try their tumeric tea. Absolutely proper. Food wise, my girlfriend enjoys their pastries and finds them to be adequate. It's not life-changing that we're going back just for them but it's alright. We've tried their cheese board, it's pretty great but Dairy Block nearby would offer better bang for your buck. But what makes The Wild is the overall package. The place has a great atmosphere, easy to get to, nicely hidden for privacy and has a beautiful design identity from their menus to the postcard they give out with the receipt. Overall it's a beautiful place that you should experience and I do have mixed feelings about more people discovering it because I want to selfishly keep it to ourselves.

4.5 stars. Took me a few years but finally made it to The Wild. I'm never by Union Station so one day when my friends wanted to check out the nearby holiday market, I suggested grabbing a drink here afterwards. We smushed together into a booth and ordered. The place is SO cute, and our waitress was super sweet. Same vibes as Hudson Hill and Lady Jane. I ordered the Lady Green (gin, strega, dry curacao, matcha, thyme, lemon, whey) mostly because of the gin + matcha combination, and it was a beautiful beverage! Interesting flavor. Standard $15 priced cocktail and totally worth checking it off my list. Not my favorite drink but would come back to try their coffee and other cocktails on the menu.

A little pricy, but a great reprieve from the Union station area for a warm drink or a good cocktail. If you need a good spot near the station to work, coffee chat, or even interview, Wild is perfect for that.

I was a really big fan of the wild! It's right across the street from union station so if you're already downtown there you can easily pay a visit. The menu has both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks so there's something fun you can find. It doesn't look particularly fancy from outside but the vibe inside is a little more upscale/trendy. The servers were all really helpful and friendly, and I really enjoyed my drinks (the paper star, and the guava goose). My friend got the hot cider and hot chocolate both of which I tried - they're thicker drinks for sure but nice when it's cold (which it really was). Parking is a bit annoying, all the street parking is paid and you have to download an app, so that kind of blows but it is cheap (or just take public transport to union station!). It's close to a lot of cool places and restaurants too so you could easily go out to dinner at a nice place (eg Bruto) then come here after for a drink. Overall really solid bar - I would definitely come again but probably try public transport next time!

This was a nice bar. Super trendy decor and friendly people. My friend had the palm beach drink. She really liked it and it was so cute. I had the basic intentions drink. I loved the toasted marshmallow on top. The chai flavor was really delicious as well. Would definitely recommend for a cute spot for some nice cocktails.

Cool vibe, both indoors and outdoors. Pop inside in morning for your coffee/tea and pastry fix. Come back at night for your booze fix! It is a nice getaway from the busy and crowded parts of the area.

Cute little cafe located in a passthrough between two buildings across from Union Station. There's a small outdoor section with tables to enjoy the sun that you pass through to enter this cafe. I just came here for a cappuccino but they also serve food and cocktails later in the day. The cappuccino was expertly crafted and the almond croissant was tasty. Happy Hour between 4-6 looks pretty good with many cocktails around $8-9.

Lemon lavender poppy latte is seasonal and one of the most delicious unique lattes I've tasted. I really enjoyed the flavor combination and it worked so well with the espresso and oat milk (substituted - standard is whole milk). I also ordered a regular latte (oat milk) so I could taste the coffee itself. It's pretty good, but not one of the best I've had. Whichever use milk they use is superior though. Really smooth and doesn't taste thick or oily. The ambiance is nice. Clean spaces, air conditioned, some nice plant decor. The service is super kind and welcoming. Multiple people served us and check in on us. They clean tables quickly too! The music is loud though! I would not be able to take a work call here. I would come back for sure. Their cocktails sound really good!

Stopped in here on a whim for breakfast. What a lovely place with great service. Food was delicious. Really enjoyed the sardine board.. asked for a little extra sea salt they make it perfect!

What a great spot located in an unassuming building down in the union station area. I loved the vibe and the modern decor. Great place to study or chat with friends. I know it is hard to choose a local coffee shop in the area because there are so many to choose from, but this one is definitely worth the visit. I had an iced mocha and was super impressed.

I really enjoyed this space! The cocktails were delicious and the canned sardines, while basic & a little overpriced , were good. did i have a can of sardines at home that I could've eaten, yes. But this was worth it as a treat myself adventure. The bartenders were super friendly, even when there was a very large and loud crowd.

The vibe and the service are what make this place in my opinion. Super cute place to work for a few hours and the staff were lovely. I had an iced latte and croissant, they were alright, nothing mind blowing.

SO GOOD. Big fan of this place nestled across from the Union Station in downtown Denver! The service was remarkable & helped me with gluten free items. Coffee was delicious and so was the food. The atmosphere was so welcoming and warm and cozy. My friend and I went on a early snowy morning and loved it here. I will be back.

Ohh yeah. This is THE spot. Try the kiwi Kiwi Cruiser! The ambience is so vibey. Kinda hard to find, but that makes it a Denver hidden gem

Unusual anti-photo policy. In all of my travel, have not had such an aggressive and unpleasant approach to telling people that they can't take photos in their establishment. I wouldn't recommend based on this alone. There are plenty of other places happy to get the publicity and foster good relations with those who like to document their meal photographically.

Great little nook for drinks/coffee/pastry. Smart design with lots of options depending on what you want. Spent about four hours here working from a little table. Awesome staff, great proximity to Union and nice switch up to the other local shops.

the AGM Jasmine has genuinely given my sister and I the most exemplary experience we never expected. The cafe is beautiful has great ambience and setting but it's truly the people who make a place marvelous and Jasmine is a gem. Thank you so much for making our night with delicious lattes and treats and the most wonderful attitude. We'll definitely be back here often!

I didn't get anything to eat but their cocktails were really good! they have cozy booths with pillow and high tops. I like that it's a combo tea/coffee shop and bar. so there's something for everyone. the vibes are casual / chill. the staff are friendly too.

Stopped in on our way to the Rockie's game. Great coffee and they even had some alochol. About average pricing too. I love how open and green the area is. Would be a great place to get some work done to catch up with friends. It did feel pretty empty, so we sat outside. It's a patio tucked in-between a U of building. Highly recommend checking out, I definitely will next time I'm in town again

Time and my boyfriend were in CO for a work trip and came across the gem. It is tucked behind a building front so be aware of that if you're trying to find it. It was wintertime so the patio was closed but the inside ambiance was adorable and so cozy. The service and food were excellent! If we lived in CO, this would be our go to place downtown. I would highly recommend checking this place out if you like wine and cocktails.

This is the cutest little hidden gem in Denver. Steps away from the union station is this cute little place tucked away in the middle of some business buildings. My husband and I sat at the bar, I got bartenders choice, and my bartender made the best drink! cant remember what was in it, but I gave him my preferences and he definitely delivered! My husband got a coffee drink and that too was amazing. For food, we just wanted something ti snack on while drinking and so we ordered the sardines in olive oil and breast. The plate came with fresh bread and homemade butter. A simple dish that was truly so amazing. Would def come back!

Server with glasses is a total ass for zero reason.. my girlfriend and I went there to study and not even 10 seconds after being seated and being handed a menu he asks if we want to order and I say "not yet" so he gives a snarky remark about us just being there to use the free WiFi.. it's a coffee shop pinhead, people come here to work, socialize, and not be rushed into ordering the second they sit. After he proceeds to talk to his coworkers while staring at us. EXTREMELY UNINVITING. Get rid of this guy then you have a better place

This restaurant was okay. The service wasn't great. The drinks weren't very good at all full of ice with little amount of alcohol. We came for a birthday brunch and the food was not good. I was very disappointed because I was excited about coming here, The egg sandwich was cold and not made fresh pretty sure they just microwaved it. It was also very expensive. Also, if you need to call them GOODLUCK! The ambiance was pretty but all the tables are very close together could barely get out of a booth and had to shimmy between my table and someone else's to get out. Not great.

Such a sweet lil hidden gem! My friends and I came in here on a Wednesday evening. They were catching up from HH so we had about a 20 min wait but was no problem at all. It is situated between buildings so gives a really neat big city feel. The patio is just lovely! Our server (whom i believe was also the manager or maybe owner) was extremely attentive & gave great suggestions. I had a Saturn & my friends all had the All Inclusive. Everyone seemed really happy with their drinks. Drinks were ~ 15 each which is on the higher side but standard for the area. Happy Hour pricing is a win. We didn't eat a ton but the charcuterie looks delicious. My friend had the olive mix and said it was great. The menu is all lighter bites. This would be a great space to work at during the day or grab a cocktail at in the evening.

Came here for the cocktails and was told the espresso martini is one of their most popular drinks. It was delicious! Great atmosphere and service as well.

The customer service here is AMAZING! Zoe and Kara were so kind and I will definitely be coming back. The pastries and coffee were divine. Overall 10/10 experience, would definitely recommend.

Full bar and coffee house combined in an elegant modern atmosphere. Quality everything. Upscale feel at regular Prices. Prompt service. Food and pastries were good with healthy options.

Found this place while googling "Wine Bar Near Me". Its right across the street from Union Station and a little hidden from the street. We came for a quick glass of wine and found a little gem for a coffee shop with a huge range of spirits to choose from. The staff was so friendly and gracious even though we came in for one glass. They have very inventive list of cocktails and would like to come back and try in the near future.

Great place for drinks! The staff were friendly and welcoming! We decided to get a snack before the baseball game and got their charcuterie board. It was so good, loved the burrata! I tried their seasonal cocktail, rosemary oatmilk latte and both were great. Highly recommend this chill spot with great cocktails and bites

Such a cute cafe! It's right across Union Station that would have been quite hidden if I didn't see the sign that pointed to the direction of where the cafe was haha. The exterior design is so pretty since there's lots of plants and the colors of the furniture just looks so aesthetically zen. My friend and I initially were sitting outside, but once it got too sunny we moved inside which had lots of seating. I was pleasantly surprised that they had dalgona coffee and decided to try it. It was as delicious as it looks! My friend also enjoyed her latte that had cute latte art. The kick from the coffee was also good enough for me to feel immortal, so there's that. I also ordered a sausage breakfast burrito where it was so cheesily gooey, you'd think they photoshopped it to make it look that good. Excellent for a cheese enthusiast like me! My friend also got one of the pastries which I can't remember, but it looked like it was huge enough for me to use as a bowling ball, and she wasn't able to finish it so at least you won't stay hungry if you decide to order that! All in all a great place to get some work done while feeling like you can take pictures in any angle and feel like you're a successful influencer. Would love to come back to try other items and even their cocktails!

Great place for drinks! I like that they offer a variety of coffee/tea as well as alcoholic beverages. They have some other options as well like lemonade or kombucha! I ordered a dirty chai latte with oat milk and it was phenomenal, presentation and all. The oat milk made it so creamy and I wouldn't say the chai was spicy or vanilla, but somewhere in between. There is also a good selection of pastries that were so tempting! The ambiance is great- lots of plants, natural lighting, comfy chairs and the smiths & the cure playing added a great coffee shop vibe. Definitely a great place to work or have drinks with a friend!

The interior was really comforting. I can see it being just as cozy during the day as a coffee shop. But at night, the combination of plants and lighting really pops. Drinks were good, they had a unique taste. I really appreciate the little snacks you can get while you drink.

With the constant influx of new places in Denver, a place really has to stand out to become a repeat stop. The Wild is one of those places. Their seasonal cocktail menu is creative, innovative, and has enough variety to appease pretty much anyone. They've also got a separate list of classics - sometimes with their own twist. As $15+ cocktails have become the norm, I find myself crafting most cocktails at home. But, when a menu is this inventive it's 100% worth the cost. While I can make a great Negroni at home, I can't make a Man in the Yellow Hat! And boy was that tasty. :) We've already been twice and will continue going back again and again to see what's new.

It was our first time in Denver and we came here twice!! Such a cute spot with lovely outdoor seating as well. We ordered chocolate croissants, veggie tarts (which were spinach and artichoke), an iced vanilla latte, and a matcha latte. All were delicious but the veggie tarts stood out most! Our server was so attentive and sweet, and even gave us postcards with our bill. Would definitely go back!

Yummy specialty coffee served strong & delightful cocktails to seal the deal. Love this place

Stopped by here on a whim! It was a cute place, the food and coffee was great. The service was excellent!

The Wild is one of the best cocktail bars I've been to in Denver! First off, I love how discreet it is, tucked into an office building, yet in the most prime location in front of Union Station. Second, the people who work here are so nice! They have helped me pick a new drink numerous times and truly seem to enjoy interacting with their customers which I appreciate. Third, the cocktails are so fresh & delicious. Yes, you're paying $15+ for a cocktail but it's so worth it for the yumminess + overall experience. Literally everything I've had here has been unique and tasty. I'll keep coming back!

The Wild is great for a coffee and a pastry in the morning and also for drinks in the afternoon. The location is a bit hidden but worth finding. They are in the back of a building off of a courtyard between two buildings on Wynkoop, between 16th and 17th Streets. Recommended!

Another cute spot!! And they take Apple Pay! Don't know who needs to hear this but Apple Pay isn't a big deal: tap and pay that even gas stations accept! I no longer carry money/cards thanks to it. Till I got to Denver... almost no one accepts it. But they do here!! Wooo! Had late lunch/dinner across the street at union station but haven't had my caffeine fix yet so I was on a mission for that pretty/over priced lattes :D One where it's worth sitting /dining in for! Viola! Found this place. Confirmed that they actually do take Apple Pay! And found an outlet to actually charge my wallet aka phone so I can pay! The barista was very friendly: he recommended a few syrup options for my latte/ I wanted floral . Lavender rosemary latte was what I ended up with. And a glass of wine. As well as their homemade flan tart dessert! Flan tart with a vanilla ice cream. My dairy intake went overboard with that ice cream.Dessert was a 3 stars!! I was thinking more flan, less ice cream in a giant shell. But the pretty latte, pretty decor ( 98 degrees day) cool and comfy inside seating and a somewhat relaxing atmosphere. My table next door was having a loud bro-mance reunion but also talking about someone at work walking right into a me too moment. Cringe! The other side was a couple that arrived, ordered wine and started making out. This was around 4 pm! Double cringe! Besides that, my coffee, wine was fine. Dessert had a little too much ice cream but not enough flan. The barista was super nice. Decor is beautiful! And that little animal cracker that came with my latte/ totally love!! Fun little stop all around.

Staff were amazing and the espresso martini was on point! Place is tucked back from the street.

A little off the beaten path, created cute nook of a coffee shop that turns into a cocktail bar. The patio is even larger than the interior, expensive, spirits, list, and great set of craft cocktails, unique and classic. It brings hard-core date vibes and basic bitch gatherings. So be prepared for some awkward first aid conversation and lots of overdressed blondes. Cocktails are fab though! Crafted with care and great glassware - sold.

Super cute and aesthetic spot, and the patio is super comfy. Great drinks, great service, very insta-worthy!

Fantastic, kind of, hole in the wall cafe, that has a small, but solid food selection, great coffee and tea, and also cocktails for a late night option. The service is fantastic and kind too. It is a great place for an a morning coffee, afternoon happy hour or late night drink if you're around union station.

Good place but not sure it can accommodate a big party during happy hour. Drinks were great. Portion kind small.

We came here for a quick bite and happy hour beverage, and this place is so cute! They have a fun little patio tucked away across the street from Union Station, which makes this a fun spot if you're traveling, visiting, or just venturing out in downtown! We split the burrata plate, which was delicious, and it came with a fresh berry jam! Very filling too! I got a half glass of wine, and my husband got the Garden Grove (I think), which tasted super tropical & refreshing! I'd definitely come back to try Man in the Yellow Hat or Wild Fashion- those are more my speed! Cute decor inside too. Great space, great staff, great food and drinks.

Solid! We shared a mini plate with berries and other spreads. This place is very cute! They have multiple drinks to choose from. We stopped and had seen a sign that basically lured us in. I got the Stranger Danger which had mezcal, pisco, egg white, orange and vanilla. This was so delightful! Very nice texture and I loved the mezcal and combo of these ingredients. The atmosphere was also very nice! This is a great place to go with friends or a date. Or solo to just enjoy the delicious cocktails.

When I caught wind of The Wild's opening, the happy dance was in full swing. From the same people behind Hudson Hill and Lady Jane (the former being an absolute favorite of mine), I'm so happy to see them expand downtown across from Union Station. If you've been to their other concepts, walking in shouldn't be a surprise. Meticulous and modern design, you're transported to a trendy spot in Europe. Though downtown, it's just off the beaten path enough for an intimate date and/or experience. This isn't their first rodeo and it shows. Anders, coffee extraordinaire running back and forth from Hudson Hill, knows his way behind the bar. From coffee to cocktails, him and crew are going to knock your socks off. +Dulce de Leche Croissant - Oh. My. Gawd. Sugary, delicate pastry with rich and creamy filling. This is breakfast decadence. +Cappuccino - Perfect. Just perfect. +Speedball - I'm a Fernet junkie. Yeah, say what you will. This combines, Fernet, Branca, Cold Brew and Chocolate Bitters. This will get you through anything life throws your way. Being a stone's throw from Union is going to be dangerous. Congrats on the new digs, I can't wait to come back for happy hour!

We stopped at this place after dinner for a quick drink and chat and it was sweet and lively. Server was great and drinks were good too. A fun little place, tucked in off the street near Union Station.

Well in my 25 years of being legal I have never been kicked out of a bar (added it was 2 pm and the place was empty) . A waiter dropped off one of our parties drinks and as the rest proceeded to order he said we offended his coworker and that he brought our check and we were no longer welcome. Nothing we said was offensive. Our waitress told us she was from Mexico and I replied I was thinking maybe Guatemala as we have a friend from there and she reminded me of him. Another person said that she was rocking her glasses. So if that's offensive then ‍.We have been all over Denver and have had the most amazing experiences. Except for here.

This place knows a good drink! You got the best of cocktails, mocktails, and coffee options so everyone will find something they LOVE! The barista was super helpful with recommendations and the vibe in here is just so vibe-y! Lol
