Curio Bar

Some of the drinks here are decent, but most of the time service is terrible. Sitting at the bar here is a gamble, I hope you have a lot of time to waste while you're waiting for somebody to take your order or close your tab. My last visit here: There were 4 people working behind the bar, and only about 2/3 of the seats were occupied, I came by for a mid-afternoon lunch. Clearly some of the workers were doing prep for the next rush, but I sat down ready to order, and one server pointed me to QR code on the coaster, not asking if I was ready to order or even staying around long enough to hear me say I was ready to order. I went another 12 minutes with NOBODY checking on me or taking my order. So I got up, picked up my (now ready) food from another shop, and found a table. Atmosphere? It's a crowded food hall with bad acoustics, and sometimes Curio blares their speakers over that.

This place advertises an extensive and rather impressively priced whiskey list. The problem is when you actually get there they have none of them. My friend and I drove 35 minutes to try one of many whiskeys they advertise at great prices to find out the first nine things we ordered (and that's not an exaggeration) were out of stock. Then when we finally did order something and paid our tabs the bartenders grumbled and mean mugged at us for not tipping 20%. Avoid this place.

Hopefully the rapey manager doesn't work for this establishment anymore cuz its so bad for business.

We asked the bartender for suggestions for what we may like and they killed it! It was a really good beverage and really great service!

Surprisingly good drinks. I find Denver Central Market to usually be an overcrowded tourist trap but if you can grab a spot at the bar, it’s great. the bartenders I’ve experienced have been friendly and very knowledgeable about cocktails and booze in general. Good place to go if you put your name on a waitlist at one of the nearby restaurants and need to kill some time

The drink my husband ordered me was not what he ordered. It was descent though so I went with it because I was just trying to find a fun new cocktail to try. I went up to the bar to get my son a straw and the girl working behind the bar was rude to us.

Curio? There was nothing rare or unusual about this place. I could go to a dive bar and get the drinks they were serving. The staff was incredibly rude and ignored you unless you knew them. And the music was so loud. I thought it would be a nice sit down place to have drinks with friends…boy howdy was I wrong.
