Meet the Joey Mary.

Named after the staff member who created it — because when someone on your team builds something that good, you put their name on it.

Our house Bloody Mary. Built from scratch. Not out of a bottle.

Come in and try it. Ask for it by name.

This building has been standing since the gold rush era. We’ve been running a restaurant and bar inside it since 2021.

There’s no slot machine sound in here. No cigarette smell. No loyalty card required to get a good meal.

Just a historic mountain building, good food, cold drinks, and people who are genuinely glad you came in.

Hand-cut. Every time.
Our steaks aren't pre-portioned and shipped in a vacuum bag. They're cut in our kitchen, seasoned in our kitchen, and cooked to order — the way it should be.
9,494 feet above sea level and we haven't taken a single shortcut yet.

Before the first guest walks in, this bar is already ready for them. Ice stocked. Taps checked. Every bottle in its place.

We take pride in what we pour — 10 Colorado craft taps, signature cocktails you won’t find anywhere else on Bennett Avenue, and a bar team that actually knows your name by your second visit.

Come see what we’ve been building.
