This was a great experience! From the front door to the bar, it is beautiful. Michael and Wade are great hosts. In house distilled artisan vodka and gin. Try a flight and you will not be disappointed. Smoked gin and vodka really ramp up the taste. The atmosphere was terrific! Brick and glass interior walls were spectacular. Well Done Michael!

Loved it! The gin is insanely delicious and they make really amazing, creative cocktails with it! The vodka is great, too, but I think the gin is really stellar. Plus, Simon and the rest of the staff are really passionate and make it a special experience. Looking forward to a return visit soon.

Absolutely incredible. Archetype Distillery hosted a birthday party for us and it was incredible. The suave is amazing with the views of the distilling room. Our favorite drinks are the Kitty Galore, the Archetype vodka and tonic, and the Smokey gin and tonic. They make their own tonic, too. I wish I lived here, I'd be here all the time.
I highly recommend calling Archetype if you want to have your next party or function. Personally, I would just come to hang out with friends and have awesome drinks.

Really great drinks. There's a board with a bunch of infused gin/vodka options and the bartenders make you a drink based on what you like, after asking a few questions. Fun experience overall and my partner and I really enjoyed our 4 total drinks. $56 after tax for said 4 drinks.

LOVE the Archetype! I'm a wedding planner and had 2 events there this year. Not only is the space incredible - check out the pics! - but the staff was so wonderful and did everything they could to take care of their clients! They are also incredibly priced for the space that they offer. I love any venue that is a little funky, urban, or out of the box and Archetype is definitely that venue! The brick walls and copper distilling equipment are an industrial chic dream! Highly recommend!

Had a wonderful time at the tasting and tour. Owner Michael was so knowledgeable and made our experience tons of fun. Manager Ryan was great and gave us a lovely tour. Delicious gin and vodka, creative distillates, incredible atmosphere and cocktails.

My friends and I visited Archetype on a whim as the last stop of our trip to Colorado, and I am so happy we did.

The bar and atmosphere are very unique, the gin (my favorite was the smoked gin)/vodka/distillates are superb, and the cocktails are really creative. Nick served us incredible drinks and was so much fun to talk to. Archetype was the highlight of our day in Denver, and I look forward to returning the next time I’m back in town.

A group of friends and I went to Archetype Distillery for the distillery tour and tasting. This truly is a Denver hidden gem that does not need to be missed!

The tour began, and ended, in the tasting room/bar. Michael, the owner, gave us a history of the building and a background on the business. I always love when you can hear and see the vision of the owner. It really helps you appreciate their proverbial blood, sweat, and tears that went into opening the doors to the public.

It took about two years for the renovation of the building to its current state. From the atmosphere to the selection of spirits, Archetype Distillery is a great place to hang out. They even do private events.

You get a couple of choices for your tasting, and both are smooth. After the tour, we also ordered the Kitty Galore and I had an Angel's Flight so I could try the beef jerky, habanero, and dill vodkas. Those with a keen eye will notice the ice cubes are actually top hats, which is a theme at Archetype Distillery. (If you want to know why, you'll have to take the tour!)

Be sure you check in on Yelp for the BOGO on Thursday and Friday nights!
