Our story
THE ROOM SHOULD MAKE PEOPLE FEEL SOMETHING.
Rabbit & Rye’s flagship is being created as a 65-seat cocktail lounge in Denver’s LoHi neighborhood: a thoughtful cocktail list, small bites made for sharing, and a room designed for lingering.
Golden, a 40-seat cocktail bar, will offer a smaller, highly intimate expression of the same idea.
Two Doors. One Idea.
LoHi is the flagship. Golden is the secret.

Compare the founding tiers
Choose your place at the table.
Every tier includes a distinct set of founding benefits. Experiences and reservations are subject to availability, venue opening, applicable law, and the Patron Terms. This is a customer presale / hospitality-benefit program, not an investment offer. Entry to the Founding Circle closes shortly before Rabbit & Rye opening night.

This package is not a $50,000 cash credit.
A few things to know
When do benefits begin?
Benefits that require the venue begin only after Rabbit & Rye opens for public service. If opening is delayed, Rabbit & Rye will provide a status update at least every 30 days after the originally announced opening date. Founders’ Package benefits are designed to be honored across Rabbit & Rye locations, including LoHi and Golden, as well as future Rabbit & Rye locations as they open, subject to each benefit’s booking requirements, availability, and applicable law.
What is the Founders’ Preview?
Before Rabbit & Rye LoHi opens to the public, every Founding Circle Member is invited to an exclusive preview evening: entry for the member and one guest, with one welcome cocktail for each of you. Dates and session times will be announced to members in advance; space is limited, and the preview may be held over more than one evening. At the preview, all members get first access to our opening reservation release; Founding Taster members and above are recognized as early supporters; and The Inner Circle and above get a first look at their names on the Founding Circle Members plaque, if it is installed by then. Additional food and drinks are available for purchase. Alcohol service is subject to age verification and licensing.
Are experiences guaranteed for a specific date?
No. Reservations and experiences require advance booking and written confirmation and are subject to availability and blackout dates. To book, email info@rabbitandrye.com. Most experiences must be booked within 12 months of activation and enjoyed within 18 months; the Legacy buyout is booked within 18 months and held within 24 months. Experiences not used in time expire. All other perks are valid for as long as Rabbit & Rye remains under its founding ownership.
What about menus and gifts?
Food, cocktail, and gift selections may vary by season and availability. Rabbit & Rye may substitute comparable items. Alcohol-related benefits are always subject to age verification, licensing, and applicable law.
Is this an investment?
No. A Founders’ Package is a purchase of hospitality experiences and stated benefits. It does not provide equity, ownership, company membership interests or units, voting rights, profit participation, interest, cash dividends, financial returns, repayment, or investment returns of any kind.
Before purchasing, review the complete Patron Terms, including cancellation/refund terms, opening-delay terms, booking requirements, exclusions, taxes, gratuity, and event-order requirements. If anything in a tier summary differs from the Patron Terms, the Patron Terms govern to the extent permitted by law.
