Seedlip in Denver, CO

Lady Jane is a neighborhood cocktail bar on West 32nd Avenue in Denver's LoHi (Lower Highlands) neighborhood — airy, plant-filled, and known for a seasonal menu that rotates frequently and a collaborative bar team. Westword describes the non-alcoholic program as having 'a permanent place' on the menu, not a dry-January promotion, and 5280 Magazine calls it one of the most ambitious mocktail programs in Denver. The lineup of named NA drinks tends to be more inventive than at most cocktail bars: the Bay Leaf Cream Soda is built on Seedlip Grove 42 with quince, lemon, and vanilla; the Pineapple No-groni layers bitter botanicals from Giffard, Martini, and Amass; the Morada Colada uses Three Spirit Nightcap with Chicha Morada (a Peruvian purple-corn drink), pineapple, coconut, pear, apple, and lime; and the alcohol-free Persimmon Soda is finished with maple, fenugreek, and mace. The venue was named Reader's Choice Best Bar in 5280's Top of the Town 2023 awards, and the team's broader cocktail program has been covered by Thrillist, Eater Denver, Imbibe Magazine, 303 Magazine, and Denver Life. Lady Jane operates primarily first-come-first-served with limited reservations available.

Nocturne Jazz & Supper Club is a modern jazz and supper club opened in 2015 by Nicole and Scott Mattson, set inside a restored early 20th-century warehouse in Denver's RiNo Arts District. The two-level art deco space — designed for the acoustics of its raw steel and tall wood ceilings, with a mezzanine overlooking the stage — features live jazz nightly Wednesday through Sunday, including an Artist-in-Residency programming where artists explore a single musical icon, genre, or original work across a four-to-eight-week run. The dinner program is built as 'Dinner and a Show' — a three-course seasonal menu paired with the evening's music — and Nocturne is the only venue in Colorado to feature jazz programming exclusively. The non-alcoholic offering is just as intentional as the live music: the seasonally-rotating 'Ain't Misbehavin'' menu is a curated collection of four original NA cocktails, available à la carte at the bar or paired with the dinner menu. Current and recent named selections include the Violet Suede (Lyre's N/A gin, verjus, aquafaba, blueberry pink peppercorn syrup), Crimson & Clover (Lyre's London Dry N/A gin, spiced cranberry syrup, soda), Cha Cha Chai (chai-infused Seedlip 94, rosemary, coconut water, cranberry, lemon, orange), and Golden Harmony (Lyre's White Cane Spirit, Seedlip Garden 108, tamarind, verjus, orange, spice whipped honey). A Billie Holiday mural by Denver street artist Detour marks the entrance. A per-guest artist fee is added to checks to support the performing musicians.

Beckon is a Michelin-starred, 18-seat chef's counter in Denver's RiNo neighborhood, opened in 2018 by executive chef Duncan Holmes (a James Beard Award semifinalist) and Allison Holmes. Diners sit facing the open kitchen for a multi-course, reservation-only seasonal tasting menu that changes quarterly. Beyond the wine list, Beckon runs a genuine course-by-course zero-proof pairing — the "From the Garden" flight — overseen as part of its formal "Cocktail & Zero Proof Program," designed to track the food rather than serve as an afterthought. Named non-alcoholic options on the beverage menu include First Ascent (passion fruit, almond, ginger beer) and Starry Maid (flowering coriander, hibiscus, Seedlip Grove 42, Ghia N/A aperitivo, lime, faba), plus a non-alcoholic pilsner from Untitled Art. It's a fine-dining counter rather than a walk-in bar; reservations via Tock.
