How do you get into The Lazy Lion?
We have not confirmed it. The Lazy Lion is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at The Lazy Lion
How the venue describes itself: “The Lazy Lion is Colorado’s Premiere Cannabis Club/Dab Bar. Great atmosphere to smoke and chill. Become a member and reimburse or BYOB. We have the best Shatter, Concentrates and Recreational Marijuana around.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: French 75, Clover Club, and Aviation are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in Colorado
Colorado did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1916, four years before the Eighteenth Amendment came into force nationally on 17 January 1920. By the time the Volstead Act was being enforced across the country, Colorado already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
