Unlike some of the other Passport deals, which seemed to offer the least-ordered cocktail on their menu, both Jezebel drinks-Hard Honey Lemonade and Southern Mule-were amazing. I started at my favorite Passport bar in the area, Jezebel’s Southern Bistro and Bar. Highland offered the best options for a bar crawl, by far. Lessons learned: Never go to bars more than a mile apart, and always have multiple food choices available en route, which was harder than expected in RiNo after 10 p.m. This summer, I planned three bar crawls around Passport deals: in Highland, on South Broadway, and in RiNo. Both are open seating and great for people-watching. If you’re planning to get some work done or drowse in a good book, I would suggest La Biblioteca de Tequila in Riverfront Park or Lost Highway Brewing Company in Capitol Hill, the best bars to go to alone. (The Passport Program recommends patrons tip for both drinks.)
