Howl at The Moon

1735 19th St, Denver, CO 80202

Howl at The Moon has locations all over the U.S. and offers live music, drink buckets- yes buckets and a spot that is perfect to capture your night’s Instagram worthy pics.

The Refinery

1932 Blake St, Denver, CO 80202

This place has some amazing infused liquors, one of the best pickle shots in town and the famous numbing shot also known as the flower shot or buzz bomb. Ask for any of those three and they will know what you’re talking about. You chew on a Szechuan button (electric daisy) that makes your mouth feel numb and tingly and then you follow that up with a shot. It’s a unique and fun experience.

P.S. Yes, it’s legal and yes, it’s safe!

The 1UP- LoDo
