Loving all the infused drink options for the day drinking we are doing on this trip(mid April 2015) I feel as if I’ve found my favorite bar here in Denver. Loving this whole are of bars. Seems the drinking scene is maturing and catching up to other parts of the country, craft cocktails are booming and this is good place to have a few, keeps the drinks coming.

Well. Crappy service is impressive. They go out of their way to be inattentive and inappropriate. Place is dirty. Bartenders are dumber than average and managers don’t know their head from their ass. Not surprising as that manager isn’t smart enough to know anything. Someone willing to pay appropriate deposit is out. Manager too stupid to add to 100. Not surprised as he is an idiot. Can maybe add to 3 on a good day. Overcharge for liquor and the experience. The«experience» is like being trapped in a tunnel with people so dumb they believe in creation. I mean whose rib didn’t come out of some apple chick???

Good location and thet usually don’t have wait staff but still a good bar to visit. They have infused flavored vodka and rums which rival the retro room across the way. Some seating but not a lot. They occasionally have free popcorn and they have buvk hunter which is usually occupied but can get in line and not to long of a wait.

So many people and little to no service. This place was packed and took my group almost half an hour to even get to the bar. The drinks were eh, and they didn’t even serve food. This is the type of bar you go to when you just wanna bar hop and get drunk. This is not the bar you want to go to if you want to hang out for more than an hour.

If you are looking for a cutting edge, outside the box bar then go to The Refinery. Great service, knowledgeable bar tenders and amazing pickle infused vodka bloody marys.

Peach infused vodka was so good! Friend had pineapple tequila which was also delicious. Great bartenders, fun atmosphere and decent music. Will definitely be back to try other flavors of the infused liquors and the flavored mules

This place is great. They have drinks made from cold pressed juice for crying out loud! Plus they have $ 3 you call its on Saturday! Great place in Lodo for people who want an amazing unique drink who are on a tight budget. Cheers!

Infused alcohol… yes please. Wish they had a little more of a cocktail selection. The one thing bartenders hate to hear when they are busy is make me something awesome. While that can be fun. It just slows down the process so give the people what they want, variety! A lot of the infusions are great on the rocks. Jalepeno Pineapple will keep me coming back.

Great atmosphere and bartenders. Lot of infused vodka. If your in downtown you have to stop in and get a drink.

I liked this place. It had a lot of style(somewhat industrial and brick themed). The ambience was helped by the low/moderate volume of the music too(I personally like a place where the noise levels don’t require you to raise your voice to speak). There was a lot of space to move in the bar as well. I’ve never been to the retro room before, but the many different infused vodkas the Refinery had to offer looked interesting. The ones I tried were delicious. On my trip, the bar staff were friendly, talkative and helpful. Free hot dogs and popcorn to boot if you are hungry. I will probably be stopping by again the next time my friends and I are in the area.

Awesome drink specials!!! The bartenders Chelsea and Devon were amazing! Made our night for sure. Brought people from out of town, they insisted we go back 3 nights in a row.

Seems like a cool place, so we went in on a Friday night. The place was dead, which was fine, but when my husband(the designated driver) asked for a water he was treated horribly by a female bartender. He even tipped her for the water! The next time he went back for a refill she ignored him for ten minutes then was extremely rude to him again. If that’s the way they treat people who are trying to make sure their friends get home safe, we will not be back.

This is truly a diamond in the rough! I just barely glimpsed at the place while walking down Blake. It is squooshed in the middle of a row of true and true sports bars. An excellent location though if you think about it. They have the TVs if you need them but a place where you can have a cool atmosphere as opposed to a «least effort» sports bar. When you walk in you will be amazed by the endless shelf of infused drinks. The shed like storage cage. The gas pumps and other industrial themed items. …though somehow is still classy. The staff there is very friendly and knowledgeable. They care about their craft. Fresh OJ! A place to dive into or stick around at when you are in a sea of pitchers and fried food. DT

The Refinery is owned by the same people who own Retro Room. It gives off the same vibes as retro room but is a little bigger and much less crowded! If you’re in the mood for a pickle shot definitely head here instead of retro room to avoid the long lines and insane crowds. If you’re feeling adventurous try the strawberry vodka with ginger ale, it’s heaven in a cup!

You guys. It’s like Retro Room with room to move around.(Same owners, same kinds of infused drinks… And for those who are obsessed with Retro Room’s pickle shots, don’t worry: The Refinery has them.) And they have $ 3 you call its for EVERYTHING on Sundays(and triple shots for $ 6). This was a dangerous place to discover in Lodo, and I highly recommend trying it out before everyone else finds it, too!

Wasn’t able to get in to swankys next door to watch the packer game since it was at capacity. Came over here to watch it instead and was beyond impressed. Great seating and great bartenders. They also had Amazing infusions and great drink deals. Everyone was very friendly and the atmosphere was wonderful. I will be coming back again for sure. Such a cool place.

Love the Refinery! It’s easily become my favorite bar in the LODO area. The staff is super friendly and so helpful. I would recommend the chocolate whiskey shot. It’s really good. I know, it sounds weird but it’s one of their best infusions. If you’ve been to Retro Room, this is the sister bar. So they have a lot of the same infusions as well. But seriously, try the chocolate whiskey shot! Also, I love the fact that they have a juicer so the juices are fresh. So many fun creations can be made. I always discover a new favorite drink each time I am in. Plus, they have happy hour all day long on Sundays. Seriously, if you are in the area, stop on in.

This is a boozy bar — no food however you can order from Swanky’s and meet your food at their door and carry in. Lot’s of infused booze, great craft beer on tap, TV screens, a long bar, booths, and friendly servers(as are most people in Denver we found). You can drink yourself silly here if you want. We were there on a football Sunday and it wasn’t very crowded, so easy to get a seat and service.
