Pavari 17 in Denver, CO

Poka Lola Social Club is a cocktail bar inside The Maven Hotel at Dairy Block in Denver's LoDo (Lower Downtown) neighborhood, with a concept that blends art-deco elegance and Midwestern soda-shop nostalgia inspired by turn-of-the-century American soda fountain culture. Beverage manager Lexi Parker runs a seasonal cocktail program built around fresh produce — recent menus have featured ingredients like ube, lychee, snap peas, turmeric, and pink peppercorn-infused spirits. The bar maintains a dedicated non-alcoholic cocktail menu on its own website with crafted mocktails like the Ski Bum (bittersweet chocolate, vanilla, milk, whipped cream), the Snow Bunny (built around Pavari 17 non-alcoholic aperitivo), Cheaper Than Therapy (hibiscus, cinnamon, allspice, piloncillo), and Nightmare on Blake Street (pear-cranberry shrub, citrus, soda). The venue features live music, an alley bar that opens for warm-weather seating, and a 'Dealer's Choice' option where the bar crew creates a custom cocktail based on the guest's preferences.
