It's a bar in a hotel but NOTHING about it is a "hotel bar." I'm not often blindsighted by a place but if you read nothing else, know there aren't enough stars to give Bezel. More embellishment below.My wife, father in law and I are all fans of mixology. We were in town staying at the Sheraton for a convention and stopped in June 9 and June 10. In our advanced ages we prefer quality over quantity, It's also become a passion/hobby for my father in law to make amazing mixed drinks at home so we seek out good cocktails bars wherever we go for inspiration.Bezel hit the mark on every single level. On our way back into the hotel I had side-eyed Bezel and noticed it had an exceptional selection so we all met up to hang out. Now, compared to some other cocktails specific places I've been to that can be funky, off the cuff and loud; Bezel is relaxing, the mixes are razor sharp, precise, honed, masterful, elegant, sexy and smooth. We are not much for places that get so loud that you're constantly screaming to talk, Bezel was chill without feeling dead, a great place to sit and enjoy an evening.We had the fortune to be hosted by Ravin, someone we learned had a resume of being one of the great mixologists in California and was brought in to make Bezel what it clearly is: exceptional.Bezel is one of those places you just name a spirit, name some desired flavors and Ravin is going to make it right. I had a rum drink earlier so he made me my first rum old fashioned. My father in law had probably one of the best smoked rye drinks of his life and my wife's mezcal drink was amongst the best she's ever tasted. Truly of all the cocktails bars we've experienced, this one was on a different level. The 3 or 4 drinks I had there over the two nights we went were the smoothest best most precise versions they could be. Ravin and presumably the whole staff were martial artists. Like most things of true quality, there's a quick ramp up from commodity level to "hey this is pretty good" BUT after that, the chase is that last 5 to 10% where small details make big differences. Greatness in whatever form it takes isn't about money, it's about passion and the money is the side affect. Right there, right now exists greatness, go experience it for yourself. Cheers!
Great staff, great cocktails and beautiful decor. This is a must visit cocktail bar in Colorado.
Drinks were really good. A little pricey, but good
A sophisticated, seductive ambience with throwback music. Loved this experience! Exceptional drink menu. The charcuterie board was delicious. Great for the beginning of a night out with friends or a date. Several parties came in for a drink after their conference and talked the night away. So it's an ideal space for that too!
Way overpriced. Don't bother.Go to the Yard House instead.
We were a party of 6 on a Thursday evening. The drink specials were great! Service was very attentive. It was a slower evening but we had a wonderful time. The mood and décor is lovely. I'm excited to try more of their craft beverages. Thank you Bezel and welcome to Denver.
Top shelf, a quiet relaxing establishment.If you want to get away from the loud noise on Friday night this is your place. Relaxing, beautiful ambience service was attentive. Mixologist/bartenders are really good.
I waltzed in here to try their Colada Old Fashioned and sit for a minute while I decided on where to go for dinner. Quiet environment and the bartenders were friendly. The old fashioned was different, for sure. Not bad, but not really what I would call an old fashioned, to be honest.
Great atmosphere with full bar, expertly crafted cocktails, and snacks. Worth a visit if you’re in the area or staying in the attached Sheraton hotel. Friendly and helpful staff make the experience even more enjoyable!
