Beer first, then bubbles. Denver Beer Spa is a private retreat where you trade city stress for an infrared sauna and a hops-and-herb soak, then finish in a cozy taproom. I love the private suite setup with your own cedar hydrotherapy tub and rain shower, and I love that the vibe is part upscale spa, part laid-back craft beer hangout.

One heads-up: alcohol and drinks are not included and run by the ounce, plus tips are extra. If you’re the type who hates surprise pricing, check the drinks menu first and keep an eye on orders, because the spa itself is the big value here.

Key Points You’ll Care About

• Private suite for 90 minutes means you’re not sharing your spa time with strangers.
• Infrared sauna + rain shower + hydrotherapy tub gives you a full spa-style flow in one room.
• Herb-and-beer bath is the signature element, built around hops, barley, and herbs.
• Taproom drinks are separate and priced by the ounce, so budget matters.
• Non-alcoholic options are available if you want the spa ritual without the alcohol bill.
• People consistently praise cleanliness and attentive staff without the stuffy feeling.

What Denver Beer Spa Feels Like (Spa Time Meets Craft Beer Time)

Denver Beer Spa is exactly what the name promises, and that’s part of why it works. You’re not just “sipping beer at a spa.” You’re doing a real spa sequence in a private suite, then hanging out in a taproom where the theme stays fun and easy.

The core experience is a 90-minute private spa suite. You get an infrared sauna session, a rain shower, and your own cedar hydrotherapy tub. Then you move into a cozy taproom where you can relax with your drink choice (beer, wine, cider, or non-alcoholic options).

The best part is the pace. It’s not a scripted rush. You get a self-guided flow, with spa attendants on hand if you need help. That makes it feel more like a little getaway than an appointment you’re trying to survive.

Price and Logistics: Is $199 Worth It for Two?

At $199 per group (up to 2), the math works best if you think like this: you’re paying for a private spa suite experience, not just a product or a drink-and-photo stop.

Here’s what you’re really getting for the base price:

• 90-minute access to your private spa suite
• Infrared sauna
• Rain shower
• A private hydrotherapy tub for your soak

What’s not included (and can change your total):

• Alcoholic (and also non-alcoholic) beverages, which are charged by the ounce
• Tips/gratuities
• Sales tax
• Any add-ons

So the value isn’t that everything is unlimited. It’s that you’re buying a private spa block of time at a price that still feels like a bargain compared with typical couples spa pricing. If you order a lot of drinks, your final bill will rise fast, but you can also keep it simple and treat beverages as part of the experience rather than the main event.

A practical tip: if you’re going for a date night, pick your beverage strategy ahead of time. One shared drink can feel perfect. Five ounces worth can feel different than ten or fifteen. The pricing model is straightforward, but it’s still easy to overshoot if you don’t watch.

Checking In at 3004 N Downing St: The Taproom Warm-Up

Your experience starts at 3004 N Downing St, Denver, CO 80205. Check in is tied to the taproom vibe, and that matters because it sets the tone before the spa work begins.

When you arrive, you’ll get started with an introduction to their rotating selection of local craft beer, wine, cider, or non-alcoholic beverages. The idea here is simple: get you comfortable with what’s available while you wait for your suite time to start.

This first portion is also where you can make an important decision: decide what you want to drink before you’re soaking. Once you’re in the tub, you’ll probably want to relax, not renegotiate your drink plan.

If you don’t drink alcohol, you’re not stuck. Reviews highlight that the non-alcoholic menu can be genuinely enjoyable, which is good to know because some themed places feel like an afterthought for sober visitors.

Inside the Private Suite: Infrared Sauna, Rain Shower, and Your Cedar Tub

The heart of Denver Beer Spa is your private suite, where the experience feels controlled and quiet even though the theme is playful.

Infrared Sauna Session

Your suite time begins with the infrared sauna. One of the real benefits here is that infrared heat tends to feel gentler than traditional dry heat. In plain terms, it’s a good way to loosen up without feeling like you’re trying to set a record for sweating.

If you’ve had active days in Colorado, this is also where the ritual can help. One review specifically called out that the light therapy was perfect for sore muscles after hiking and horseback riding. Even if your body reacts differently, the point is the same: this is built for relaxation and recovery.

Rain Shower

After sauna time, you’ll use the rain shower in your suite. This is more than a nice touch. A proper rinse helps reset your body before the soak, and it also makes the whole experience feel more like a real spa flow, not a gimmick.

If you’re thinking about doing this before dinner or plans right afterward, the rain shower becomes a practical win. You’ll feel cleaner and more “ready” without needing to head to a gym shower and start over.

Therapeutic Herb-and-Beer Hydrotherapy Bath

Then comes the signature move: the soak in the therapeutic herb and beer infused bath. The tub is made to feel spa-like and cozy—cedar hydrotherapy style—and the bath is infused with hops, barley, and herbs.

What that means for you:

• You’re not just soaking in hot water. The experience is designed to feel soothing for skin and senses.
• The hops/barley/herb approach connects the spa theme to something that feels more intentional than novelty.

Multiple people praise the way they felt afterward. One comment described skin feeling smooth and the overall unwind as a must-do. Even with different body types and skin sensitivities, the pattern is consistent: people leave feeling like they had real downtime, not just fun.

Your Pace Matters: Self-Guided Flow With Help Nearby

A big difference between a relaxing experience and a stressful one is how much control you have. Denver Beer Spa is self-guided. That means you can take your time between sauna, shower, and soak without a strict timeline pushing you.

At the same time, you’re not abandoned. Spa attendants are available if you need help. In a suite like this, the kind of help people might need is usually simple—how things work, when it’s time to move to the next step, or if you need something while settling in.

This “you set the pace” setup is especially helpful if you’re going as a couple and you want to talk, laugh, and slow down. Several reviews mention connecting and turning it into a fun date night, which makes sense. When the environment supports calm, your time together actually has room to happen.

The Taproom After: Craft Beer, Wine, Cider, and Non-Alcoholic Options

Once your suite time is done, you can stay in the taproom and keep the evening going. This is where the experience shifts from spa mode to social mode.

You can relax with the rotating selection of:

• local craft beer
• wine
• cider
• non-alcoholic drinks

The key detail: beverages are charged separately and priced by the ounce. That’s not a problem if you go in expecting it. It becomes a problem if you assume the spa fee includes everything. One negative review centers on extra charges and the drinks being billed separately, so I’d treat that as a serious signal.

How to handle it in a low-stress way:

• Look at what you’ll order before you soak
• Decide how many drinks you want total
• If gratuity is part of your plan, factor it in early so you don’t feel blindsided at checkout

On the positive side, people also call out the beer selection as lovely and the vibe as clean, comfortable, and well-run. Some mention that even if you don’t drink alcohol, there’s no compromise on taste.

Add-Ons and Little Extras: How People Make It Even Better

The base experience gives you the spa suite and the ritual. After that, you might see opportunities for extra treatments or upgrades. Add-ons are listed as available, but not included in the core price.

Some reviews mention extras like a get-ready station with essentials and optional treatments such as zero gravity massage. Another review mentioned tasty snacks. The rain shower is included, but the “get ready” setup is worth highlighting because it can save you time if you’re heading out after your session.

My advice:

• If you’re doing this as a pure relaxation date, keep it simple and stick to the included suite plus taproom time.
• If you want a more personalized spa vibe, ask what add-ons are available and what they cost. That way you can decide without pressure.

Also, don’t ignore the “cosmetic minibar products” note. It’s another sign that not everything in the space is automatically included. If you’re the type who wants a predictable bill, treat anything product-like or upgrade-like as optional.

Clean, Comfortable, and Staff That Actually Helps

One thing that comes through strongly in the feedback is how clean and comfortable the facilities feel. People mention the place being exceptionally clean and the suite vibe being comfortable.

Just as important: staff support. Positive comments repeatedly highlight that staff are fun and make you feel taken care of. In a spa setting, that matters because the biggest danger is feeling awkward or rushed—especially if you’re unfamiliar with how hydrotherapy suites work.

The best version of this experience is when you feel both:

• comfortable enough to relax
• supported enough to ask simple questions and move along smoothly

That’s the vibe described in high-rating feedback, and it’s exactly what you want from a themed spa.

Who This Is For (and Who Might Want to Skip It)

Denver Beer Spa is a great match if you want a couples night, a fun date, or a spa-like reset that still has a playful Colorado twist.

It’s especially good for:

• couples who want privacy and connection without planning a full itinerary
• solo travelers who like a calm setting with self-guided time
• groups of friends who want a spa ritual that doesn’t feel too serious
• people who want non-alcoholic options without giving up on the experience theme

You might want to think twice if:

• you hate any pay-as-you-go element and want one fixed price
• you’re the type who orders multiple rounds automatically
• you’re sensitive to bill surprises (because drinks are by the ounce and not included)

The good news is you can control that. The suite value is the main event. Drinks are optional.

Practical Tips to Get the Best Value From Your 3 Hours

You’re looking at about 3 hours total for the whole experience. The suite portion is 90 minutes, and the rest is taproom time and staying on site.

Here’s how I’d make the time feel smooth:

• Arrive with a rough plan for drinks so the taproom doesn’t become a decision scramble.
• Treat the sauna and soak like a real reset, not a quick stop. Let the routine work.
• If you’re meeting someone afterward or going straight to dinner, use the rain shower to get yourself feeling refreshed.
• If you’re watching your budget, remember that even non-alcoholic beverages are charged separately.

If you want this to be a true value win, do this: choose one main beverage you’ll enjoy during taproom time and then keep it light.

Should You Book Denver Beer Spa?

If you want a private, spa-style evening with an actual ritual—infrared sauna, rain shower, and a herb-and-beer hydrotherapy soak—Denver Beer Spa is a strong yes.

Book it if:

• you and your partner (or friend) want privacy and downtime
• you like craft beer culture but don’t need alcohol to have fun
• you value a clean, comfortable facility and staff who keep things moving

Skip it or adjust expectations if:

• you want all-inclusive pricing with zero add-ons or extra charges
• you know you’ll order a lot of drinks unless you’re watching costs closely

My bottom line: the base package is the real purchase. If you go in expecting drinks to be extra and you budget for it, Denver Beer Spa becomes a memorable, very Denver kind of relaxation experience for two.
