Berkeley Untapped

A bar with purpose! I've never seen anything like the Wooden Token program at Berkeley Untapped that donates a portion of their sales to a charity of the patrons' choosing. So admirable!On top of that, we had amazing service with the friendliest bartender. They offer local CO brews and wine, and a full bar!The inside is small so I imagine it gets packed fast some nights. But the size added to the cozy, neighborhood feel!

"Drink. Laugh. Give" I love a bar with a cause. For every drink you purchase, you get a wooden token to place in the charity of your choice - animal, environment, human. Berkeley Untapped tallies the tokens and donates to the cause with the most votes. They have one bartender with an excellent system. As people stood in line, she constantly reminded people to pull up the QR code menu and have their drink selections ready. They have rotating beers on tap and a fantastic selection of spirits. You can even get your beverage to go for an additional fee. They are dog friendly and have plenty of seating options on the patio or in their covered outdoor area called The Green Room. What a great little bar!

We stopped here for drinks before dinner - it was our first time, and such a cool taproom! It was quite small inside and the flow was a little cluttered i.e., the line to wait to order at the bar cuts right through the main center of the room so it feels a bit cluttered when the line is long. There was only one bartender behind the bar when we were there and boy was she efficient! I ended up getting the Alpen Gose beer (Telluride Brewing) and my husband ordered a Goliath Brewing beer but it kicked halfway through so the bartender gave him that one for free and he got to pick a new beer. We had the Denver Eat and Drink pass which got us a BOGO beer, so really we got three beers for the price of one! It was fun to sit at the window seats and people watch outside. I also really liked how we got "charity" coins for each drink purchase, and a portion of our drink goes to either a humanity/environment/animal non-profit of our choice (We put the coins in their buckets). Will definitely come back here for a drink!

Such a great neighborhood bar on Tennyson Street. Specials are always changing with cute names and great drinks! Prices are well priced for their drinks. Not a beer place but good liquor selections! Staff is super friendly and attentive! Outside section looks like it's officially permanent and can't wait to sit out there during the spring and summer time!!

Beautiful bar in the bustling neighborhood of Tennyson! The service was amazing, drinks were delicious (and strong!). They have a cool concept where you get to put your "token" into different bins to support different causes; I thought this was really unique :)They have some snacks which we didn't try but look yummy!

Berkeley Untapped had some great cocktail options. I tried their electric hammer aka mezcal margarita. So so good! The inside is an interesting mix of cabin vibes and random artwork. And the bartender was nice but kept going in the back room which felt a bit odd. Pro tip: the entrance is to the left of the outdoor patio. It was a bit hard to find at first.

Not so family friendly. Read on to learn why..Saturday January 14th at 11:30 am I had an unusual experience that my family felt uncomfortable and think other families should be aware. A female bartender stepped outside and shared that moms get 15% off drinks. That we love Mimosas. Intrigued and ready to try a drink, I stopped to chat. She continues to shout if you have dogs you get I 15% off. I asked about babies and her response out loud to a huge crowd... fuck babies. The people surrounding her all cheered. For a location that should be friendly, it was clear this location is hostile towards children. I hope that staff will learn from this experience and have grace towards people from all walks off life.

There are many reasons to love this place and I'm going to tell you why.1. 7% cash back when you claim the Yelp offer to Berkeley Untapped. As long as you have your credit card linked on Yelp and make a purchase here, you'll automatically receive dat free money back into your account.2. For every sale, Berkeley Untapped gives its patrons the option to drop a chip into a bucket, which they will donate a portion of their sales to said charity. I've never seen this at a business, let alone a bar. How cool!3. The beers on tap and the whiskeys on hand make for some of the best in the city. Local beers from all around Colorado and a crazy awesome booze selection make this place an undeniable winner. The bartenders are relaxed and knowledgeable, while the space is small and cozy. Do not walk by this Tennyson gem!

I emailed the owner, Joe, and never heard back! Reiterates the lack of customer service!

Great service, cozy atmosphere, constantly rotating beers and great cocktail and wine selections! They even have a dog friendly patio, a game room and they donate to charity. Love this place!
