Twenty gins. Twenty-eight tequilas. Twenty-four mezcals. Seventy rums. Nearly 170 whiskeys. And 57 brandies and liqueurs. That’s the booze lineup at Finn’s Manor, which employs a staff of kick-ass bartenders, led by Robert Sickler, a knowledge bomb of spirits, most notably whiskey. Inside his idiosyncratic temple of cocktail worship, there exists a bible of cocktails that go way beyond the ordinary; here, it’s a spiritual odyssey that’s every bit as enchanting as its aptly titled Enchanted Whiskey Forest punch, a one, two, three pummel of Irish whiskey, pine liqueur, cherry and thyme shrub, bitters, orange and lemon slices, blackberry purée and rosemary twigs. Bonus: Head outside into the courtyard for a pilgrimage through the food trucks, which includes Owlbear Barbecue, Denver’s top pit stop for everything smoked low and slow.
