    It’s been such a long time since I have been moved to write an online review. I just fell in love with this place. The music was exceptional as promised, the vibe was so great. It felt so much like the efforts of real people who care, not stale corporate giants. It didn’t reek of money, it was just full of good local energy. I have since sent many people I know here and they have all loved it as much as I. It seems rare these days to find so much goodness in one spot. As a bar owner myself, I noticed everything and I appreciate the small details.Thank you!

    Audiophiles, or simply lovers of music this is a great place to relax with a cocktail or a tea. Went during their "floating hours" where the focus is a quiet environment to listen to some great music. Cocktails are in line with nicer establishments, but you are paying for an experience which is well worth it. When we went, they were playing the bar system. I would have loved to hear the larger system, which would have made sense to play during the special listening hours. But that's just an excuse to go back.

    This is a must hangout lounge for cocktails with someone special. It’s super intimate the low light and ambience is perfect for deep conversations. There is a live DJ who plays vinyl records and the cocktails have both alcohol and alcohol free. Great selection of wine can’t go wrong here! The modern love is also a great drink 🍷

    The ambiance of the space is just gorgeous; the music was divine. The staff is wonderful & knowledgeable. The drinks (we had cocktails and a bottle of orange wine) are second to none - absolutely top-notch! The presiding 'look' is definitely Brooklyn hipster, but we still felt totally at home. I will absolutely be coming back regularly.

    This instantly became my favorite coffee and cocktail spot in Denver. The interior is beautifully designed with gorgeous work working. The sound system is intricately designed to fill the entire space with pure vocals, rich and warm tones. Every detail down to the glassware and serving platters is well thought out and has an integrated feel with the rest of the atmosphere.

    Great cocktail place. We were greeted immediately. The server was nice and made great recommendations. The place only plays music on vinyl and has bartenders who meticulously select the music to change with the vibe of the place. Will def go back. Not a good choice of food, so just come for drinks.

    This place needs more variety of music on vinyl. We came with a small group of vinyl collectors of all people that shared different music taste therefore this was a HUGE disappointment! We asked the waitress if there was a way to request music and she mentioned that certain nights they have certain music played, which is understandable HOWEVER on a Friday night you would think there would be variety and there ABSOLUTELY wasn’t. The drinks were subpar and tasted watered down.

    Loved this HiFi Bar! The mixologist was so friendly and even discussed the different spirits available. We were here on a Sunday night and looking for a relaxing vibe and just to have a quick drink. The DJ was playing amazing tunes. This place was perfect!

    Best bar I've ever been to. Delicious drinks, awesome music, awesome staff. Do yourself a favor and go there.

    Great cocktail bar with a very limited set of food offerings (the strawberries and cream were absolutely amazing). Parking can be an issue, so you might need to park nearby and walk. For those that enjoy whiskey, they have a great selection and some harder to find Japanese options.

    a great name/ backstory & an absolute beautifully designed space & sound. the cocktails, lighting, the smell, the music, the scene that evening… all of it hitting a perfect vibe. the space serves well for an amazing date spot, hanging w a group of friends or posting up solo at the bar and taking in the HiFi…..it’s a Quality spot all around. & I hope the kissa inspired listening bars in the US continue w this level of love & attention to service rooted in all the senses…..thanks & thanks to Jake for throwing down great tunes & drinks…..you guys nailed it 🎯

    I have been looking forward to my visit at ESP HIFI. Offers both coffee in the day and drinks at night. It iv clear and evident that the people who work hear carry a sense of pride in every detail including how they treat you. They are personable and every record they put on I had to take a picture of to listen at home. An incredible place that I look forward to frequent.

    Hidden in plain site! Come for the music stay for the music. And stay longer for a drink or two. Denver is lucky to have such a great place to lounge and listen to interesting music in high fidelity. Through a non descript door on the West side of Sante Fe between 10th and 11th is a real Denver hot spot. Cocktails are generous and the almond and olive platter was the perfect accompaniment. The music is the star here so don't plan on having deep conversations with friends. This place is all about listening to great music and letting the work day melt away while enjoying the company of friends.

    The cocktails are creative and really refined, using a mixture of American and Japanese ingredients. The atmosphere is my favorite of any bar in Denver - low candlelight, sparse decor, and an amazing sound system playing vinyl.

    Great drinks, and the atmosphere was on point. Highly recommend if you’re a jazz fan. Everyone behind the bar was super cool and friendly.

  • 5/5 Masha M. 7 months ago on Google
    Really cool spot for drinks. They have a great wine list and all cocktails that I've tried (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) are delicious. They have amazing music and the mid-mod style speakers and furniture make the atmosphere so cool. Sometimes it can be hard to hear your friends if you are with a big group of people!

    From entry to departure the service & ambiance were sublime. Visited during the weekend meaning a near full house & yet after the first sip of Time Capsule, all was right in the world. Attentive wait staff, drinks are delicious and good vibes prevail. Do enjoy the available lounge seating for a more immersive experience. Highly recommended. Every crewmember encountered was helpful, especially Alicia attended to my table.

    This is by far my favorite bar in Denver. Everything, I mean everything, is so intentional and well thought out. The drinks are unique and flavorful. The ambiance is soulful and sexy. It even smells amazing when you walk in. My bf and I sat at the bar and the bartender was excellent and we really enjoyed watching him cue up the vinyls. Plus, he had impeccable music taste. I can't wait to go back this winter. Thank you, esp staff :)
