EXCELLENCE
The Difference 15 Years of Excellence Makes
Restaurant pedigree that shows
Fine dining teaches you what matters: timing, technique, cleanliness, consistency, and calm execution—especially when it’s busy. That’s the difference we bring to events: professional service that feels effortless for you and memorable for your guests.
The fresh difference
While many bar services rely on shortcuts, we build flavor the right way: - House-made syrups and infusions - Fresh-squeezed citrus (not bottled) - Seasonal menu development - Local ingredient sourcing when possible - No artificial “just-add-water” approach
One bartender. Two passions. Complete beverage excellence.
Make It a Double is designed to serve **every guest**—whether they drink alcohol or not. That’s why we also created **Cool as a Cucumber**, our mocktail-forward experience built with the same care as a craft cocktail program.
Make It a Double
Craft cocktails built around your event vibe—clean classics, seasonal signatures, and guest-friendly options designed for smooth service.
Cool as a Cucumber
Premium non-alcoholic drinks built from scratch so non-drinkers aren’t stuck with soda. Thoughtful flavor, lower sugar options when possible, and kid-friendly recipes.
Certifications that matter
More than a service—A relationship built on excellence
Local expertise, world class training
We blend big-market hospitality standards with Colorado sensibility—menus that feel elevated without feeling fussy.
