Next time you walk by this corner “bookstore” in the LoHi neighborhood of Denver, you should definitely step inside to check it out…you might just be surprised by what you find. You will, in fact, find shelves filled with books. But, what you may not know is that those bookshelves are just a facade. Go ahead and put your name in at the front and soon you will see one of those bookshelves swing open inviting you inside an authentic prohibition-era speakeasy that will soon be the setting of an unforgettable night out in the MIle High City.
Williams & Graham will set the stage for a unique speakeasy experience from beginning to end.
The bar area itself has only 7 seating options (5 booths and two tables). They don't take reservations on the weekends, so get there early as the wait can tend to be long (but, so worth it).

Once you are given permission to enter through the hidden door, you will discover that this bar is indeed small in size, but the atmosphere is truly grand.
They also offer beer, wine, and other spirits, but it is their handcrafted cocktails that keep people coming back to that secret bookshelf door. Try the Blackberry Sage Smash or Caught In The Rain (coconut infused Genever, pineapple juice, lime juice, Demerara, orange flavored water, and egg white.)
The food menu is filled with both traditional and unique offerings that are irresistible.
Williams & Grahams offers a mouth-watering selection of desserts including their delicious version of Smores: graham cracker cake with carmelized white chocolate mousse and topped with vanilla marshmallow.
So, don't be fooled by the "Book Sellers" description on the front door of Williams & Graham. Step inside and take a journey back in time that is always worth the wait.
