Bluegrass Coffee and Bourbon Lounge
7415 Grandview Avenue, Arvada
720-476-3950
By day, this Old Town Arvada spot roasts and serves coffee, but at night, it’s all about the bourbon. A wide variety of Colorado distilleries are featured on the menu, such as Copper Sky Distillery, the Heart Distillery, Branch and Barrel Distilling and Mythology Distillery. You can order flights as well as signature and seasonal cocktails like the Bourbon Smash, which is made with fresh lemon and mint, housemade simple syrup and soda water. Along with bourbon, appetizers, pizzas and oven-toasted subs are available once the lounge switches from coffee to booze.
School House Kitchen and Libations
5660 Olde Wadsworth Boulevard, Arvada
720-639-4213
More than 1,000 whiskeys are available at this Arvada spot housed in a revamped 1882 schoolhouse. The large variety is available by the pour and in several flights organized by origin — Kentucky, Canadian and Irish, for example. The whiskey can also be found in cocktails like the Headmaster’s Manhattan, Teacher’s Helper, Bus Stop Boulevardier and a Breakfast Olde Fashioned with bourbon, Kona Coffee, cocoa and Angostura bitters.
