Semiprecious

Denver, Colorado

TOTCSPIRITED2026

Top 10 nominee for Best New U.S. Cocktail Bar at the 2026 Spirited Awards.

Opened in May 2025 by Mike Capoferri of Thunderbolt LA fame, Semiprecious at 2839 W. 44th Avenue brings international bar pedigree to Denver's Sunnyside neighborhood in a space that splits the difference between dive bar relaxation and cocktail bar ambition. The program applies the same flavor-science approach that earned Thunderbolt its reputation, clarified cocktails, house ferments, and a technical precision that hides behind a deliberately casual presentation. The room is neighborhood-friendly, the prices are reasonable by Denver standards, and the cocktail list goes well beyond the basics without alienating the after-work crowd. A bar that proves destination-quality drinks can live in a neighborhood-bar format.
