Although its name may suggest a dark and secretive place, the brand new Death & Co is a far cry from the intimate bar that opened in New York City’s East Village over 11 years ago. For Denver, the NYC staple has swapped out its snug quarters and dim lighting for the massive sunlit lobby of The Ramble hotel. There’s even a daytime cafe as well as a rooftop bar where co-founder Alex Day jokes they’ll eventually fill an inflatable pool with rosé. This echoes a similar trend their neighbor, American Bonded, is testing out — but theirs involves a slushy machine (I digress).

READ: American Bonded is Ready to Introduce Denver to a New Type of Cocktail Bar

Both spots, which are arguably run by the forefathers of the modern speakeasy, are now allowing for a little more sunshine and fun.

“Daylight is new for us,” said David Kaplan, one of the three Death & Co-founders. “But we wanted to see what it looked like when Death & Co goes outside.”

According to the team, Death & Co is more of an idea and it doesn’t have to exist within the original walls they built. But even though they’ve had a decade to mull over what that means exactly, it still can be a bit elusive when put into words.

“We haven’t figured out a perfect sound bite yet … but it’s really about giving a shit,” said beverage director, Tyson Buhler. Kaplan agreed, explaining that ultimately it’s about being able to perfect their craft but in a wide range of contexts.

“It’s not that the drinks themselves are more casual. Just as much science and prep and ridiculous labor goes into [these cocktails],” said Kaplan.

You can see this at the bar where you’ll still find drinks that are perfect for moody lighting and close conversation (like the Vaquero  ($16) made with mezcal, reposado, corn husk and cacao) next to cocktails inspired by warmer climates or ones with low/no alcohol meant for a patio. We especially enjoyed the Windjammer ($16) a take on a tiki drink made with Jamaican rum, bourbon, banana, ginger, lime and a chamomile dusting. However, instead of a traditional totem tiki glass, it comes in a cast iron mug shaped like a pioneer man — which is one hint that the Death & Co team hasn’t traded all of its former tricks.

Overall, there is still something a little macabre about the place. Maybe because the decor — which one writer described as 17th-century France meets the Wild West — has a distinct feeling of a place gone-by. Couple that with American lore of haunted hotels and a part of you may feel like you’re in a turn of the century murder mystery or inside a really fancy game of Clue. But if you go upstairs it’ll become immediately clear that Death & Co’s original aesthetic hasn’t gone far.

“We haven’t given up our dark little room,” said Kaplan.  Suite 6A — set to open sometime by the end of the month — is where you’ll find the traditional Death & Co experience. Small, cozy and intimate surroundings paired with creative cocktails made with rare ingredients and elaborate presentations  — Suite 6A will be the place the Death & Co bartenders experiment with new ideas. The 20-seat space located on the mezzanine can be booked ahead of time or you can walk-in and take your chances.

These compartmentalized spaces inside The Ramble are a big part of the new Death & Co — which services the entire hotel. This includes the daytime cafe DC/AM — located on the western side of the hotel lobby. The cafe and espresso bar offers up coffee from Denver’s Middlestate alongside a full breakfast menu filled with items like an egg sandwich ($7), smoked honey yogurt ($10) and breakfast plates like the bacon okonomiyaki ($9) with zucchini kimchi, cured egg, trout roe and scallions. The menu is imagined by a team of culinary experts including chef Wes Hamilton (former culinary director of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort) and executive sous chefs Kathryn Caine (former executive chef of The Populist) and Quincy Cherrett (former executive chef of The Kitchen in Jackson Hole).

The chefs will also service the lobby and hotel with a wide range of dinner items including a killer dessert menu. We’d highly recommend the fava bean agnolotti ($18) which will be instantly recognizable to fans of The Populist as well as the fabulous olive oil cake ($12) with smoked honey ice cream and almond caramel. The Garden — aka the aforementioned rooftop — will be the hotel’s “pool bar without the pool” when it opens mid-May. It’ll be available to hotel guests all day and open to bar patrons later in the afternoon and on the weekend for brunch.

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

If you head back downstairs, there’s yet another component to the partnership between the hotel and the bar. Vauxhall is an event/ theater space that comes with its own Death & Co bar and will be used for private and public events. All programmed through The Ramble, the hotel expects to highlight film, live performance, comedy, art exhibitions and more. Upcoming events include a design showcase with neighbors Topo Designs on May 11, a listening party with Denver’s Vinyl Me, Please on May 26 and a RiNo First Friday showcase on June 1.  As an independent hotel, the space also hopes to give back to its community by providing the area and hotel rooms for local non-profits like Volunteers of America, PlatteForum and the RiNo Arts District. Similarly, Death & Co is continuing its tradition of giving one percent of all of its proceeds to a local charity — although the exact one is still TBD. Featuring its own private entrance off Larimer street and a soon-to-come marquee, Vauxhall aims to be a place of its own while providing a taste of what’s next door.

—

If you ask the team behind Death & Co, what the main question they get about the new spot is — it may or may not surprise you.

“To everyone else, it’s like why Denver? And I’m like, have you been to Denver? Denver is fucking awesome,” said Kaplan. Now with Death & Co finally open in Denver, we’re expecting a lot of people to stop asking and start agreeing.

The Denver Central Market, a review from a local

The Denver Central Market is an eclectic and engaging collection of shops and dining choices that I know you’ll love! Here’s a review and a few must-try items, all hand-picked by me, a Colorado native!

Denver has such a unique, small-town vibe to it while. Yet we've still got diverse food and entertainment options. Last week my hubby and I explored another really cool spot, The Denver Central Market, and I want to share my findings with you!

In the heart of RiNo (River North Art District, for those not in the know) on the corner of 27th and Larimer, The Denver Central Market calls itself a "food hall." It's filled with local vendors selling delicious foods and desserts, plus a really fantastic bar.

If you're a local and you haven't been, you gotta check this out right now! And if you're planning a trip to Denver, I highly recommend coming here. It has a cool vibe, a great location, and gourmet food at a reasonable price.

What we love about food halls, cafeterias, or food courts is that everyone can get what they want. There are several in Denver (Avanti being an honorable mention in the category). I'm sure I'll write about all of them at some point because of my food obsession, but this one just has something special about it. It feels like you've stumbled onto something old and unknown, even though it is very critically acclaimed. There really is something for everyone. I could just chill out here for a few hours. If you want to make a day of it, there's a  lot of very beautiful street art on this block too. You could grab coffee at The Market, then walk around a little, and come back for lunch! Especially if you're visiting Denver on vacation this summer; it would make for a fun day.

We've had several different things from several different places, but my absolute favorite food item was the honey and feta cheese plate from Culture Meat & Cheese. Just look at how gorgeous this is! If you want to treat yourself, take a minute to slow down and completely enjoy this perfect dish. Even the flowers taste amazing. The sweet honey paired with the creamy feta and crunchy nuts is a perfect summertime treat. It's indulgent but still refreshing. I love the combo of feta and honey anywhere I can get it, but this is one of my favorites!

  If you want to set up an indulgent, self care day, you could easily stock up here and take some treats home. The Local Butcher is a really cool spot. Their gourmet, all-beef hotdogs are only $1 each, and are really excellent. We brought some home and smoked them!

My sweet husband also brought me gorgeous chocolates from Temper. They looked like tiny works of art. Chocolate isn't my favorite thing, but these flavors were bomb. They hold up to their beauty, that's for sure. Their flavors rotate so there's always something new (and gorgeous) to sample.

Although the Denver Central Market offers a lot of dessert options, High Point Creamery ice cream is probably the best. My favorite flavor there is their brown sugar and cinnamon. It's not too sweet and the perfect texture, probably because they make all their ice cream from scratch! They have lots of other fun things to try too, like egg creams and ice cream sandwiches.

Then, to finish it all off, we got drinks at Curio. I ordered the Fancy Pants, which has vodka, lime juice, sugar, sparkling wine, and (best of all) pomegranate popping pearls. The pomegranate pearls provide this amazing  burst of fruit flavor in the sweet sparkling wine. It may be one of the best drinks I've ever had; I liked it that much. Let's hope they never take this off the menu. I can't wait to go back and try it again!

All in all, the Denver Central Market is a perfect destination no matter what you want to do this weekend. Even with all our exploring we didn't try half of the shops there! Kids would love the ice cream, adults will love the cocktails. It made for a lovely date, but like I said, I also think it's great if you're visiting and want to eat like a local. Get a taste of the best of Colorado! I hope you all enjoy the Denver Central Market as much as I do!

I'm excited to continue sharing my adventures around Colorado (and other places we've traveled). What's on your summer vacation lists? Any cool spots in Denver you've been to? I'd love to hear, we're always looking for new things to do! Don't forget to share, like, and follow! Thanks for reading, mellow girls!

Denver Bar Owner and Sommelier Kendra Anderson Wants to Throw a Party Every Night

“I want to throw a party every night,” Kendra Anderson says. At Bar Helix, her chic bar in Denver’s RiNo district, she does just that.

Anderson’s decades in hospitality began as a chef and then an advanced sommelier in the early 2000s. She later launched a catering company that became an event and wine consultancy business. Her social media persona, “Swirl Girl Denver,” became a brand unto itself, through which Anderson spread the gospel of food-and-wine pairings and clever hashtags like #21stcenturyhedonist and #champagnecampaign. She also penned a column for Denver’s alternative rag, Westword.

That apparently wasn’t enough for this powerhouse, so, in 2017, Anderson opened Bar Helix. The menu at Bar Helix blends high- and low-brow influences, like the caviar service, which includes Calvisius black reserve caviar, Pringles, tater tots, and lemony crème fraiche. The wine list draws on Anderson’s favorites, especially Champagne, as does the cocktail menu, which features an array of Negronis (her other obsession) with snarky names like The #badbitch Cosmo.

Here, Anderson recalls the exact moment she decided to become a sommelier, and how she plans to drink Champagne right up until the end.

1. What’s the bottle that made you fall in love with wine?

People ask me this question a lot. and I’m sad to admit that I don’t remember the name of the producer, but I do remember the occasion that made me fall in love with wine.

I was in culinary school, where the curriculum incorporated both food and wine education. We were studying Germany, and class that day included cooking a very traditional German dish — choucroute — and tasting alongside it a slightly off-dry Riesling from Mosel. Experiencing that magical pairing was the day the lightbulb went off for me — and also the day I decided to become a sommelier.

2. FMK three varieties: Cabernet, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay?

Cabernet, kill. Pinot Noir, marry. Chardonnay, f*ck.

3. You’re on death row. What’s your last-supper wine?

Without a doubt, Champagne.

4. You can only drink one wine for the rest of your life. What is it?

See my answer above (Champagne).

5. You can only drink at one bar for the rest of your life. What is it?

Pegu Club, NYC.

6. What’s the best and worst wine on your rack (or in your fridge) right now?

Ha! I‘m rarely at home, and so my wine collection is pretty grim. The best bottle I’ve got here is a Domaine Chave Hermitage. The worst? A terrible bottle of California Moscato that was gifted to me — and I haven’t gotten around to pouring down the drain yet.

7. If you could no longer drink wine, what would be your beverage of choice?

A Negroni, obviously!

Top 7 outings to venture on when your out-of-town girlfriends are visiting Denver

I am always at a loss in terms of what to do with my out of town guests. My family and friends are from the East Coast, so coming out west is a brand new place to explore and experience. I searched the blog sphere about what to do around town when people are visiting and every page seemed to be listing the same things. I had a epiphany after i read the tenth blog listing the same ten attractions as the last nine blogs. My light bulb moment was that instead of thinking of things my out of town visitors must see around town that are tourist attraction staples, how about showing them the fun things that I like around Denver as a local.  I provided the top ten must see’s and do’s for a week or weekend with your out of town girlfriends below. 

1. Drink Bottomless Mimosas and make a DIY craft at Upstairs Circus. 

http://upstairscircus.com/co/project-menu/

Located just two blocks (to the right of Union Station if you are facing 17th street from the front of the building),Upstairs Circus is a fun spot to go get your creative energy flowing with your girlfriends, mom and a great first date spot to break the ice. You’ll have a lot of giggles while creating some pretty cool projects that you get to take home. Upstairs Circus offers a wide variety of projects to pick from. Projects range from making your own dog collar, flask, painting, string art, jewelry, to cutting your own wine bottle tumbler glasses. At Upstairs Circus they have a project for everyone. 

2. Play Trivia, Eat, Drink and Pour Your Own at First Draft

Located in the art district of RINO (1309 26th Street), First Draft is a fun space to experience with friends. You pour your own drinks from the taps located around the main room and have the opportunity to try a little bit of everything or settle on one delicious beer, cider, or wine that you discovered. On Wednesdays they offer trivia nights at 730 which is a fun way to bond with your friends and get some good laughs. 

3. Eat Nachos and Play Corn Hole on the Rooftop at Tap Fourteen

http://www.tapfourteen.com/

This bar is located on Blake street in the LoDo neighborhood (across the street from Coors Stadium). This bar offers its patrons 70 Colorado Draft Beers, 100 Colorado Distilled Spirits, American Alpine Fare and Amazing Skyline Views. This is a fun spot to grab some sun rays on the rooftop and play a competitive game of corn hole with your friends. 

5. Have Cocktails at the Terminal Bar in Union Station

Union Station has a romantic vibe when you step inside and take in the gorgeous station architecture, but its also a fun place to go with your girl friends for a fancy cocktail and a game of shuffle board. This is a historic staple in Denver Colorado (so you'll be taking your friends to at least one of the historic attractions in Denver). Make sure to stop out front of the station to take a few selfies in front of the famous Union Station Terminal sign before heading inside for a cocktail with your friends. Your friends will love the ambiance of the building and get a good buzz going if this is just a pit stop to your next destination.

6. Walk or bike along the South Platte River and View some Local Eye Candy at the Flagship REI Store’s Starbucks

Although this specific REI store is my fathers favorite spot in downtown Denver to visit (hopefully he wont will change his mind about this after he reads the next bit), it’s Starbucks is also a well known pick up spot for the good looking outdoorsy men of Denver. So if you have any single girl friends coming into town who want to go view some local eye candy, I would make it a point to stop in at the REI Starbucks for a refreshing beverage after, before or in between your stroll or bike around South Platte River. Denver offers a lot of bike rental stores and bike share spots including one at the REI store. Denver is rated the second most bike-able city in America (behind Portland) and is a popular way for locals to get around town. 

7. Take a picnic to Washington Park and Paddle Boat on the Pond

Washington Park is a beautiful space in downtown Denver. it boasts of 155 acres of  manicured grounds, including two lakes, two flower gardens (one of which is a replica of George Washington's gardens at Mount Vernon) and there are a variety of unique shops and dining spots nearby the park located on Old South Gaylord Street. On sunny weekends, you will find local denverites playing pick up games in the park consisting of  volleyball, Frisbee, bocce ball, soccer, and croquet. Wash Park (as the locals call it) is  also another well known eye candy viewing spot. If its a sunny day outside this gives your single girlfriends a chance to discreetly, behind their large sunglasses, eyeball the local hotties playing shirtless games of volleyball and Frisbee in the park. Take a picnic to the park complete with wine and cheese (alcoholic beverages are allowed in the park but no glass bottles) and just lay back and relax. If you are not the lay back and relax type of gal do not fret, you can join in on one of the many pick up games around the park or rent a paddle boat for a hour and go out one of the two lakes to view the ducks.
