Enter through the door of a tiny pie shop and suddenly you're in what's billed as a chef-driven cocktail joint. Like the food in Frank Bonanno's multiple Denver restaurants, the drinks here feature fresh, quality ingredients. Fresh herbs, house-made bitters and infused sodas are expertly crafted into trendy cocktails and paired with such goodies as brisket, pigs-in-a-blanket or loaded chips. And because there is a real pie shop, you can ask the bartender to match your cocktail to the pie of the day for a most unusual dessert combo. Jazz is the music theme here and there's live jazz some evenings. Green Russell is cozy. No reservations are accepted so arrive early to ensure seating. There's also a standing-room-only area.

- Nightlife near Sports Authority Field at Mile High: "Reservations are not taken, so you will need to arrive early to ensure seating as standing is prohibited. Don't arrive with a herd - parties larger than six are not accepted."
- Best for Nightlife near Sports Authority Field at Mile High Because: The coolest gin joint in town. You enter through a tiny pie shop's door and drink prohibition era cocktails often made with locally distilled spirits.
