Pretty Neat

The ambiance and quality of cocktails puts Pretty Neat on the map for being one of the best drink stops in Denver. What really sets them apart is having a selection of cocktails for under $15. At $12 each, they have my vote for keeping it chill and affordable to have a night out without dropping a week's pay on a cocktail experience. You can upgrade your drink from well to one of the selections on the wall and my husband did that with his bourbon/rye for an extra $3. Still not bad considering most places are charging $20+ for a cocktail these days. They have a pretty straightforward menu with some interesting ingredients and we tried 4 cocktails - Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Clover Club, and the Eastside. All of the drinks were great - our faves were the OF and Eastside. The vibe is relaxed and clean and comfortable. The bartender was friendly, welcoming, and made a great cocktail. What I really loved was that it didn't feel stuffy or pretentious at all. More like a local hangout. 10/10 will be back.

I came for 1 cocktail after my dinner at LA Guatemalteca in Aurora. They were busy with the backroom speakeasy space reserved for a large party. I was welcomed by Cristy, the wife and partner of Xanthus of Pretty Neat. I chose the Jungle Bird with rum, pineapple juice, campari and simple syrup. A nice colorful drink with slightly strong rum. They still charge only $12 each for their cocktails. If you ask for specific ingredients, the cost will be higher. They provide QR codes to order takeout at nearby restaurants you can bring into the bar. They also have 3 mocktails + small bites.

This is probably the only bar in Denver that offers well-made, classic cocktails for under $15. The space is cozy and inviting, they have books you can read, and the bartender Rooster is very friendly. It's more of a cocktail/spirits focused bar but they do have some beer and wine options.

New cocktail bar alert! Serving up classic cocktails in a super cute neighborhood spot is Pretty Neat. Kismet, to have been able to come during their grand opening without even knowing due to some local friends. Out of LA and into Denver, we're winning with traditional cocktails but of course the ability to make drinks based on their library. I wish this spot was in my 'hood because I would be here a lot. Instead, it'll be a staple when on Broadway. Highly recommend if you're looking for a spot that serves up solid cocktails in a casual bar. There's also a speakeasy aspect bar hidden upstairs in the back. Visit! Cheers!

I have a great appreciation for this charming establishment. The staff members are exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. I highly recommend trying the espresso martini and the charcuterie board. On both occasions, I have enjoyed sitting in the inviting back bar area.

High quality cocktails and food, unparalleled service and atmosphere. LOVE the speakeasy part

This cozy cocktail bar serves classic cocktails mixed to perfection. I am stoked to find a balanced Manhattan and a bold and smooth Old Fashioned on South Broadway. These cocktails and small snacks are the perfect start or end to a date night or night out with friends. The friendly staff and prohibition era decor make for the perfect night out.

Visited Pretty Neat for the first time this past Sunday with a friend and it was great! It's a hidden gem on Broadway at the moment, but I hope it continues to attract more customers and gain success. The bartenders were hilarious and quick to distribute drinks. I had the Blackberry Bramble and it was delicious! I thought the drink prices were a steal compared to other bars in Denver. On the right side of the bar when you enter, there's a cute neon sign that reads "I think you're pretty neat" - perfect backdrop for a picture. The bartenders have great taste in music and kindly shared the Spotify playlist they created for the bar when I asked them. You can search "Pretty Neat Standard" on Spotify if you want to check it out. 5/5 on all fronts, can't wait to go back!

100/10 would return.Staff was very personable and talkative. Drinks were amazing, super high quality, no needless flair or showing off, and very reasonably priced. Initially, I wished there were a little more options for snacks, however they are very upfront in encouraging you to bring food from one of their neighbors. I seriously love this approach! I'd much rather go get some really great food/snacks I enjoy from a different place, instead of getting possibly mediocre or OK food from there!The place itself is small but not too small, very cozy in the best way. Everything is clean, and has ton of stylish decor.Will 100% be returning, and I hope others find this place and enjoy it!

This awesome little bar is my favorite spot on South Broadway! It's comfortable and inviting, perfect for meeting friends or for a date, and it's neither pretentious or stuffy. There's a genuinely friendly energy present every single time I've visited.Their specialty drink menu features a number of concoctions sure to please even the most discriminating of tastes. So far, nothing beats "The Penicillin" --artfully composed flavors that compliment and balance each other so smoothly, that I always have to remind myself to not gulp. Beware: these drinks are damn good because they're made right. Even better, you'll get out the door with your wallet still intact. I don't expect this hidden gem to remain a secret for very long. Bars of this caliber are far and few between. Pretty Neat, laid back proprietor Xanthus (his real name!), and friendly bartender, Asa, serve up the best drinks in town. I love this place, and you will, too!
