Malinche Audiobar brings a highly sophisticated dining and drinking experience to 1541 Platte St, inspired by Japan's listening bars but with a Nikkei-Mexa twist. The innovative kitchen concept blends Mexican and Japanese flavors and techniques under Chef Jose Vilchez Avila, a Mexico City native and two-time James Beard Award nominee for Best Chef in the Mountain region. The bar celebrates Mexican spirits with an impressive selection of Mezcal, Raicilla, Tequila, Sotol, and Charanda, alongside the "Mictlan" cocktail menu featuring unique ingredients like Cupreata, tejate, and wasabi. With only seven dishes on offer including dessert, the intimate space prioritizes quality over quantity, more bar than restaurant. Open daily 4 PM-10 PM. This is the latest project from La Diabla's owner Jose Avila and represents the cutting edge of Denver's bar scene.
