It seems that in recent memory, a number of unique and innovative hybrid businesses have been popping up all over Colorado. There are cannabis clubs that host a variety of events, coffee shops that transform into bars when the sun goes down, and art galleries that double for music venues, to name a few examples.

This particular establishment carries the distinction of being the state's first and only sake brewery, while also serving up a variety of Japanese dishes.

In addition to being the only place in Colorado that brews the famous Japanese rice wine, Colorado Sake Co. and Kitchen is attached to a somewhat hidden comedy club known as The Denver Comedy Lounge.

While the comedy club may give off the vibe of being similar in nature to a speakeasy, this assumption couldn't be further from the truth as The Denver Comedy Lounge consistently hosts a variety of premier stand-up comedians from all walks of life.

Check out the schedule of upcoming events as well as more information on both establishments by visiting Colorado Sake Co.'s official website.
