This place has gone through a recent name change, but what is cool is that you can tell the owners said “Whatever, dude. Just make the sign say ‘Whiskey’.”

This commitment to not messing around and just doing it right is why they’re the best in Denver.

With the best whiskey selection this side of heaven, and a “for us by us” Denver vibe, you have never been more at home.

And Denver hosts many opportunities for doing just that, from sports bars to brewpubs, strip mall-dwelling chains to saloons that are as much art installation as watering hole. A favorite is Society Sports and Spirits, with a stenciled WHISKEY sign out front. It stocks dozens of Colorado labels. So many that when lined up on the bar, they become difficult to take in all at once. Not to mention the bar’s own varietals, aging in small wooden barrels, strange concoctions that are the brainchild of owner Will Evans.

On a recent night this summer, I sampled I-don’t-know-how-many of those house whiskeys. But I do know that Will joined in tasting each and every one, and that, at some point, he summoned forth from his kitchen thick-cut chicken fried bacon with a maple bourbon dipping sauce that in itself is enough of a reason to drop whatever you’re doing and hit the highway to middle America.

Society proudly claims, “We show all the games with volume!” The bar is known for its outstanding selection of whiskeys, and energetic, youthful crowd.

“Society is a great place to watch any team/sport on a huge variety of flat screen TVs,” Yelp user Terry L. said. “Very good beer selection including various bottle and taps, but the beverage of choice of course is WHISKEY!”

ociety, Denver Sports aside, Society may be the Mile High City’s biggest proponent of drinking local. The bar offers over 50 Colorado whiskeys alone, a healthy cocktail list and a slew of local beers. Society opened in time for the World Cup in 2014 and features imaginative distractions for those tired of staring at the television, like their foosball table.
