Green Russell coins itself a ‘chef driven cocktail joint’, from chef-partner Frank Bonnano. You enter down a flight of stairs and through the lobby of Russell’s Smokehouse, which serves up excellent BBQ. The underground lair forbids cell phone use outside of their designated telephone booth.
Their sparsely contented website doesn’t even list the bar’s address. The Prohibition-style speakeasy opens at 5pm every day of the week. 1422 Larimer St, Denver
