Enjoy a rejuvenating spa experience at Oakwell Beer Spa in Denver. Our infrared saunas use modern-day technology that surpasses the traditional sauna experience.
Sit back, relax, and soak up Oakwell Beer Spa’s Infrared Sauna’s healthy, healing heat. This technique improves your wellness by encouraging your body to detox, sweat, and alleviate tense muscles.
While traditional saunas involve increasing the room's temperature to kickstart the body's sweat, far infrared saunas utilize infrared waves that penetrate straight to the cellular level of your body for more significant results.
When relaxing in the Infrared Sauna at Oakwell Beer Spa, your core body temperature rises to encourage sweat and detoxification. With an increase in your body's core temperature, your sweat comes from internal processes rather than external heat.
Infrared light is a wavelength from the sun known as Infrared Radiation. It's invisible to the human eye and a part of the sun's light spectrum. That said, it doesn't contain UV rays, so it's not harmful to the human body. An infrared sauna experience directly affects your cells and purges toxins from the inside out, which leaves you feeling refreshed.
Infrared Saunas, like we have at Oakwell Beer Spa, harness the safe parts of sunlight to raise your body's heat, increasing your heart rate and enhancing your circulation. This helps improve skin elasticity, promotes healing, and supports weight loss.
Releasing sweat and toxins from your body helps rid bacteria and dead skin to promote softness. Infrared rays can also help clear up acne and firm skin against wrinkles, keeping your body feeling and looking radiant, light, and smooth.
Burn calories while resting? Yes, please! Your heart rate increases when you're relaxing and sweating in the sauna. This tricks your body into thinking it's engaging in cardio, so you burn calories.
In fact, a recent study found that a 30-minute Infrared Sauna session can burn up to 600 calories.
Saunas have been used for thousands of years to clear the body and mind through sweating. Oakwell Beer Spa's modern technology combines ancient spa techniques to form a new and effective way to cleanse your body.
Infrared Sauna rays go an inch and a half into your skin to increase your body’s temperature. This speeds up your heart rate and creates a deep perspiration that shifts toxins and sends them out of the body through sweat.
This deep internal sweat can clear the buildup of nicotine, sodium, cholesterol, and heavy metals from your system.
If you’re experiencing pain, an Infrared Sauna session can be an effective medicine.
Since your sauna treatment at Oakwell Beer Spa increases your heart rate and makes your body feel like it’s doing exercise, your pulse lifts. This expands your blood vessels and improves overall circulation to relieve tension in the body.
Several studies also show infrared therapy as a helpful treatment for people with arthritis and athletes in recovery.
According to infrared therapy clinical studies, there are numerous Infrared Sauna benefits. Infrared heat activates the sweating process from within, so you can experience relaxation while reaping health benefits too.
Oakwell Beer Spa’s cozy taproom and luxury spa services create a relaxing atmosphere. Although we offer a unique experience, we like to keep things simple and stress-free.
The Beer Therapy Room is the highlight of Oakwell Beer Spa, which you can enjoy during your Infrared Sauna appointment.
This modern, luxurious room fits one to two people. Each room has an infrared sauna, rain shower, and beer bath hydrotherapy tub.
Start your Beer Therapy Circuit with a 20-minute infrared sauna session to sweat out toxins and open up your pores. This prepares your skin to soak up all the benefits of your beer bath blend of hops, malted barley, and herbs.
During your Beer Therapy Room session, the sauna and beer bath helps promote calmness, cleanses skin of bacteria and toxins, encourages healthy hair and skin, alleviates muscle and joint pain, and boosts digestion and metabolic rate.
To get the full wellness experience, you’ll spend 20 minutes detoxing in the sauna, get your blood flowing in a cold rain shower, then spend the rest of your time relaxing in your warm bubbly beer bath.
The cozy taproom oasis at Oakwell Beer Spa offers various craft beverages from local Colorado producers, including beer, wine, kombucha, and non-alcoholic drinks.
We also host a tap takeover with a different Colorado brewery each month!
Start your experience at Oakwell in the taproom, or wait until after your treatment to kick back with a beverage. If you'd like to enjoy a drink in your Beer Therapy Room, keep it cold and fresh, even in the sauna, by using one of our special triple-insulated tumblers.
Our promise to all Oakwell Beer Spa guests is to provide a safe, clean and sanitized environment. We take pride in our strict cleaning procedures to ensure each visit feels like it’s the first time your Beer Therapy Room, including the sauna, has been used.
Timing between each Beer Therapy Room appointment allows our Spakeepers to disinfect and deep clean the space. Our ventilation system keeps air fresh and new for your session.

Really exceptional customer experience/service! The actual facilities are everything you would hope for, but it’s the staff who make the distinction between this place in any competitors. They have somehow collected a bunch of people who actually enjoy their work and engaging with other humans. Really lovely all around.
Absolutely amazing experience. This was a birthday gift for a private suite and 60 minute massage. Personally, I think the fact that the staff didn't rush us when we wanted to wait a bit after the spa suite to cool off before we got the massages was truly a piece of the experience that told me the staff was there to truly make sure our experience was amazing. And it truly was. The cucumber and line beer was just a piece of what made this place great! Thank you to all the staff involved!
Im not one to partake in a spa but Oakwell Beer Spa was exceptional! I loved it very independent which i love. Really good banana chips and so many options off beer! Made my birthday special, will definitely be returning❤️
Great place for a unique experience. Very clean and staff is amazing. Definitely recommend.
Gorgeous! Wonderful time. Didn't want to leave! Need one of these in Philly!
Always awesome. Very relaxing. Get the massage chairs with your package. Also buy the beer lotion. It's awesome
I am very much a spa girly & this is one of the most unique spa experiences I have ever encountered. From the moment you enter, it smells like pure relaxation. As lovely as the common area & patio are, they belie the relaxation that awaits in your private spa room. Before you are escorted to your room, you are offered your choice of locally made beer (my favorite was the “beer flavored beer,” which tasted like… beer), as well as wine, kombucha, juice, or seltzer. Drinks are served in a stainless steel insulated tumbler so you don’t have to worry about breaks or spills. There are also complimentary snacks, including banana chips & an absolutely delicious savory trail mix. There’s also a bathtub full of plastic “bubbles” (think grown-up ball pit) in the common area, inviting you to take your most Instagrammable shot. The spa even has a monthly competition for the best photo. I appreciate the intentionality with which this spa was designed. Truly, they thought of (almost) everything: hair ties, shower caps, hair dryers, plastic bags for wet clothes, beer-infused shampoo, conditioner, body wash & lotion in both private rooms & common areas, a pitcher of water on the edge of the tub (because one cannot live off beer alone)… even conversation cards with thought-provoking questions placed throughout (yes, even in your private infrared spa). This isn’t just relaxation, but an opportunity to deepen connection. I came here with a friend & left not only more relaxed, but feeling like we connected on a more meaningful level. Now before you ask… no, you are not soaking in a tub full of beer (that was my initial concern, and I almost passed because of it). Instead, you’re in a deep stainless steel tub filled with water & infused with herbs and aromatics. The room also includes a CBD bath bomb & a CBD/mushroom mud mask for extra relaxation & detox. The water temperature was perfect: steamy but not too hot. The soak wasn’t long enough—not a slight, just a testament to how relaxing it is. I could have stayed all day. Once our soak ended, the tub drained automatically. We used that time to shower, moisturize & head to the massage room. It’s dark with twinkling ceiling lights that resemble a night sky. There are several zero-gravity massage chairs, but don’t be mistaken—these are NOT your run-of-the-mill nail salon chairs. They mean business. Even on the lowest setting, my muscles were sore for days because that kneading function gets deep. At times I was breathing through it like contractions—especially when the rollers hit my lower back. Easily the most thorough & intense chair massage I’ve had. Every staff member we encountered was wonderful—friendly, welcoming, answered all our questions, & gave us plenty of time to capture the moment. Our drinks were never empty & every need was met. My only feedback: it would be great if there were a swimsuit dryer spinner on site. I was flying home right after & had to pack a soaking wet swimsuit. I double-bagged it, but it would’ve been nice to dry it a bit first. If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend trying this place. It’s likely the most unique spa experience you’ll ever have—even if you’re not a beer enthusiast.
Oakwell Beer Spa was absolutely lovely! Highly recommend if you're in the Denver area. They have two locations; we went to the one on Downing. The area is a little sketchy, but the spa is very nice. The staff and "beer therapists" were all friendly and attentive. We chose the amber malt soak blend that had rosemary and juniper berries in addition to the barley and hops which smelled divine. We will definitely be back, but we'll skip the anti-gravity massage chairs next time. They were kind of aggressive even on the softest setting. Aside from that, I had been jonesing for a spa session and this place hit the mark. The beers we sampled were all tasty, but they had a good selection of non-alcoholic drinks as well as CBD infusions and kombucha. They also provided a thoughtful selection of toiletries and some yummy snack selections! Life's short - book the spa day!
Very fun and unique experience.
Great experience! The staff is amazing and we’d definitely recommend the massage afterwards
Great experience! I will be back soon. Loved the massage chairs and the beers were on point
If haven’t been to spa with a beer tap then you are missing out. Not only was the Oakwell atmosphere inviting and transforming but the staff, Jessica and Daniel made the experience. The weekends from what we heard is busy but the weekdays are more intimate. You will come come away rejuvenated!
This was our second visit to Oakwell Beer Spa Highlands Ranch, and it continues to impress us. My wife and I have also been to their original Denver location many times, and we’ve always had fantastic experiences, but this Highlands Ranch spot is truly beautiful. The private spa rooms are outstanding. They are clean, cozy, and perfectly arranged for relaxing together. Everything feels upscale and carefully designed. One of our favorite features is the massage chairs. They’re amazing and elevate the entire experience to a new level of relaxation. From the atmosphere to the subtle, calming scents throughout the space, everything is just done right. The staff always makes you feel comfortable and completely at ease throughout your visit. The only downside about this location (for us) is the long drive; the Denver location is closer, for sure, but it’s honestly worth it. We always leave feeling refreshed and relaxed, already planning our next trip.
It was definitely such an amazing experience for our first time there! The staff was wonderful and they all took such good care of us throughout everything ! Blake was super friendly and helpful and just so much fun . He definitely made the experience 100x better. The place is super clean has a wonderful vibe. I felt like a whole new person walking out of there. Definitely worth it all.
My husband and I had a great time at Oakwell beer spa. We appreciated the reception we got from the staff. We enjoyed picking out beverages for ourselves, and touring the building before being shown to our room. We loved the vibe of the room - calming and romantic. We used the infrared sauna first, then the cold shower, hot tub, and cold shower again. We hung out in the quiet area for a while after leaving our room and enjoyed answering the date card questions on the table. We will recommend this as a fun date night to our friends, and look forward to going back in the future.
We had a phenomenal time- we did the couples escape package. Everything was clean and exactly as advertised. I’ll absolutely be coming back!
We had so much fun. It was a great experience and totally relaxing. We will definitely be back.
We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Oakwell today. When we came in, the beer therapist working the counter kindly asked if we were coming in to celebrate anything, and we happened to be coming in to celebrate our anniversary! Without even telling us, they decorated our private room with a banner saying Happy Anniversary and romantic decorations all around. The therapist assigned to our room, Shantell was incredibly thorough in explaining the best way to enjoy the spa and so attentive to us through our whole visit. The private rooms are beautiful and have great features including a Rain Shower, Infrared Sauna and a gorgeous barrel shaped jacuzzi tub. The infusions for the tub are great and really did alleviate a lot of pain for both of us (were both groundskeepers, so it REALLY hit the spot). They also smell wonderful and left our skin feeling very soft. The shower products were also very nice. The Zero Gravity massage after the soak was wonderful and will absolutely turn you to jelly for a little while after (great opportunity to stay for another beer). The beer menu is good and features selections from popular local breweries. The "Beer Flavored Beer", Passionfruit Mango and Saison they had available were what we went with and they were all fantastic. The charcuterie board was made with very high quality ingredients and also very delicious. The entire staff is clearly very knowledgeable about herbal spa treatments And craft alcohol and NA beverages. All around great team of people working at this location. We will absolutely be coming back, and if they open a location in Aurora we might even become members.
My partner and I did the "escape" package that includes a 60 min soak and a 30 min zero gravity massage. Literally worth every penny! Left feeling so refreshed, the people there were very nice and helpful, and I never felt rushed at all moving from one thing to the next which I really appreciate. Plus the place is decorated so cute, and their wide range of tap offerings makes it so there's something for everyone (including non alcoholic).If you're thinking about it, DO IT! You won't regret it.
Magical and unique space....an urban oasis!
Everyone was super awesome! Very kind and attentive, love the atmosphere here! Jon, and Lyss were great! They need a raise 😁😁😁
Loved our experience. Grab a drink and relax. No wonder it's hard to get an appointment! Highly recommend...
I had an incredible experience at Oakwell Beer Spa and can’t recommend it enough. From the moment you walk in, the service is outstanding. The team immediately makes you feel comfortable, relaxed, and taken care of—it really sets the tone for the entire visit. The local beer lineup was exceptional. I’d consider myself a bit of a beer snob, and I was genuinely impressed with both the quality and selection. The experience itself is incredibly well thought out. The combination of the sauna, shower, and soaking bath left me feeling completely re-energized. Every small detail in the private suite has clearly been considered to maximize relaxation—nothing feels overlooked. The space outside is just as enjoyable. The beer garden is a great touch and would be a perfect spot to hang out with a drink, whether you’re there for a full spa experience or just stopping by. And the highlight for me—the zero gravity massage chair. I already felt completely relaxed, but finishing the session there took it to another level. I walked out feeling like I was on cloud nine. I’ll absolutely be back and plan on signing up for a membership.
Everyone is so friendly, the drinks are delicious, they have such a relaxing atmosphere and we had a wonderful experience! 5 stars
A unique and memorable experience where each detail was carefully thought out.
Staff was friendly and informed! Nikole, Damien and Jessica were all so helpful and welcoming, making our first experience here life changing. Will be recommending to anyone I can!!
Do you have more questions about infrared saunas? If so, we'd love to answer them so you can prepare for and enjoy your next spa experience!
An infrared sauna uses gentle infrared heat to warm your body directly rather than heating the air around you. Many guests find it deeply relaxing and a great way to support overall well-being.
Most guests enjoy the Oakwell wellness circuit: start in the infrared sauna, cool down in the shower, then relax in the beer-inspired hydrotherapy bath. You’re free to customize the order to what feels best for you.
Session length can vary by guest comfort, but most people spend short intervals in the sauna and take breaks as needed within their 90-minute Private Spa Suite experience.
Since you sweat a lot and can get dehydrated, it’s common to feel lightheaded after a sauna session. You can alleviate this by drinking plenty of water before and after the sauna. It’s also important to rest your body after your session to entirely reap the benefits.
For comfort and safety, we recommend enjoying beverages before or after your time in the sauna rather than inside the sauna itself.
Guests must be 14+. Anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
If you are pregnant, have cardiovascular conce
s, or other health issues, please consult your physician before using the infrared sauna or any heat-based experiences.
No — the infrared sauna is part of your Private Spa Suite experience and is included with your reservation.
