What a lovely find!!! Making this my new Sunday routine. Bar by night and coffee and tea on Sundays and Mondays from 11-3pm. Great for my sober friends. Plus all the vinyls they spin are so relaxing and vibey. All around a great time!

If you're in Denver this listening room and cocktail bar needs to be on your list. The ambiance is amazing, a great vibe for date night and open fairly late on weekdays. Love their cocktails and really enjoy their fresh bread, butter and jam! So simple but so good. The music is always on point and the service is amazing.

Super vibey cute bar! The ambiance and vibes here are immaculate. Drinks are pretty averagely priced for Denver and are delicious. One note is that there is not many food options available. Staff was super friendly and helpful! There is plenty of street parking on nearby streets!

I've never really thought of music as something super important in my life. I don't have a favorite band or musician or genre. If something sounds great, I'm in! Enter ESP HiFi which aims to create an environment in which all senses are in harmony. To quote them "You can't put your finger on it, but everything just feels... right." And it does. Their beverage program is full of Japanese whiskey, wine, and perfectly balanced cocktails. The lighting is low and it lets you pull the focus of anything else and just stay in the moment. Here less is more and their record selection is fantastic. So just sit, have a drink (maybe order some truffle chips), and enjoy the music.

Such a tranquil vibe! So nice to find a hifi lounge that has such great music but in a more relaxed volume. It's intimate, cozy, has a beautiful aesthetic and is just so relaxed. They have lots of fun cocktails to choose from, I got one with melon and mezcal which was a fun combo! Will definitely be back for more!

Must visit gem. Romantic, warm amber lighting envelops a midcentury style smartly curated and tres feng shui with beautiful wait staff who are prompt and fashionable; an extraordinary evening menu with a feature for hard-to-find mezcals. Feels a bit like home. A must visit. I'm excited to return soon, again and again...

Cute wabi sabi meets cocktail and hip music vibe... Um yea, pretty sweet... happened to show up on the first Friday of the month (which we didn't know was a festival) so was a little more jammed than expected. But service was good, cocktails were good... didn't love the other drinks on the menu, but had a great time!

It's evident that this low-light, high-brow wine and cocktail bar has done the work to create a beautiful experience. I visited ESP Hifi a few weeks ago on a first date and the setting was perfect. Sultry but casual, the interior is minimally decorated. The showstopper of this lounge is their extensive collection of vinyl records, the main source of entertainment besides the company you keep. The only thing that left room to be desired was the service. This being a first date experience, we didn't want to drink too much. I did, however, feel pressured by the server to order more drinks. On top of that, we felt neglected. We had to ask for menus while other tables were given menus upon entry and had to flag down the server to receive service. Granted, every night is different and everyone has things going on behind the scenes. Overall, I would happily return to this establishment. The vibes were there and I look forward to giving it another try.

We love a tucked away hidden gem like ESP Hifi. As a vinyl junkie and record collector, I'm so happy places like this exist in my own backyard. ESP is a listening bar. That might be confusing to some, but in reality they're putting the music first here. Music adds ambiance to any bar or restaurant on the planet, right? Here it truly takes center stage. And in all honesty, this might be the best sound system I've ever heard inside of a bar. The atmosphere leans on the hipster/trendy side, though you'll notice a wide ranging clientele of ages. When ESP opened they were more of a coffee shop (which I admittedly miss). Now it's a bar that opens at 4pm daily. Natural wines, spirits, highballs, and a few specialty cocktails grace the simple, yet robust menu. The ESP Classic is their Japanese highball with "extra carbonated soda" and it's one of the better highballs you'll ever have. The only problem is that's it's TOO EASY TO DRINK. I guess it's a good problem to have?! ESP is an aesthetically pleasing environment that is a great place to sit back and listen, take out a date, or spark exciting conversations. It's a bar I really enjoy. Whenever my friends suggest it, it's an immediate HELL YES from me!

All the vibes! A hidden gem in Denver! Insane record collection that the bartender chooses from - cool to see the record playing displayed and watch them change out the music! Love the MCM, hipster vibes, smell of incense and variety of drinks! Great spot to kick off a date night. It gets busy by 4:30 PM. Hh daily 4-5 PM. The razor love is made with shoju and was super refreshing - felt light on the alcohol. The mezcal mule on hh was delicious and they have an awesome selection of wine and whiskeys. The wavy white wine was more of an orange wine - tart and tasty ($2 off the glass on hh). We didn't try the bread but the bread service looked to be popular! They get it fresh baked from a baker in Boulder that delivers. The other review with the photo of the outside is what we used to find this spot (1029 is the unit number which is posted outside). Street parking is available all around! Check them out!
