; 1512 Larimer St, Writer Square; vodka shots $4.50; 5-9pm Sun-
Thu, to 11pm Fri & Sat; 10, 15, 20 RTD)
Even if the vodka list is more than 80 labels deep - in-
cluding staples from Russian origin and surprise sources such as El Salvador - the most
creative tipple on offer is house-infused. Horseradish vodka? Dill? Anise? Garlic? The
menu of meaty bistro fare with an Eastern European influence includes fancy stroganoff,
veal and wild boar chop.
Jet Lounge
BAR

;
1612 Wazee St; Tue-Sat 8pm-2am)
This lounge is the place to see and be seen
in Denver. There is a bedroom-meets-house-party vibe: candles, cozy couches, a weekend
DJ and lots and lots of beautiful people. Jet Lounge was a favorite with the
Real World
Denver
housemates. Order bottle service, sit back and melt into the party. The attached
hotel was undergoing renovations at press time.

;
1401 Curtis St; 6:30am-11pm Sun-Thu, to midnight Fri &
Sat; ; 10, 15 RTD)
The cheery sensibility of this excellent retro-style lounge is demon-
strated in the wall of clocks frozen at 5pm and waggish menu of cocktails ('The Secret-
ary' comes with a rim of grape Kool-Aid powder). It's perfect for a quick, sophisticated
bite before the theater, and the chicken and waffles are highlights of a killer brunch menu.
Great Divide Brewing Company
(
www.greatdivide.com
; 2201 Arapahoe St; 2-8pm Mon & Tue, to 10pm Wed-Sat)
This excellent local
brewery does well to skip the same old burger menu and the fancy digs to keep its focus
on what it does best: crafting exquisite beer. Bellying up to the bar, looking onto the cop-
per kettles and sipping Great Divide's spectrum of seasonal brews is an experience that
will make a beer drinker's eyes light up.
