Our handcrafted cocktails make a splash.

The server was very knowledgeable about all of the drinks and she encouraged us to order different things based on our personal likes even though she was fairly new serving at Union Lodge.

The food and drinks are very mid and overpriced. The cheapest glass of wine is $16. The chocolate fondue was just melted chocolate with store bought cookies, brownies, marshmallows, and pretzel rods. The Bavarian pretzel is a great size but it was so overcooked that parts of it were rock hard. Come for the ambiance but only get one drink and I'd skip the food.

He's got excellent people skills and and even has regulars. We chatted while he made my Latte with an additional shot and almond milk and it dawned on me that sometimes we get very lucky to meet people who genuinely love what they do and Mike loves making coffee and chatting with people. I can't speak for the Lobbyist during other hours or for adult beverages but that morning before heading off to walk the entire floor of the Colorado Convention Center, I needed as much caffeine as possible to make it through the day. Not only did the latte do the trick but Mike's infectious positive attitude and great vibes gave me a little extra boost.

Both my girlfriend and I asked him multiple times to stop, but he continued anyway. After it became clear that he wasn't going to respect our boundaries, I raised my voice (not yelling, just firm) and asked that he stop serving us and that another bartender take over due to his aggressive and inappropriate sexual behavior. Instead of addressing the situation professionally, he immediately told both of us to leave the bar. This was an incredibly uncomfortable situation to deal with, especially on New Year's Eve, and it left us feeling embarrassed and disrespected. The first thing my girlfriend said to me the next morning was how uncomfortable that bartender had made her feel, which says a lot. I truly wish we had never gone to this bar. No one should feel pressured, sexualized, or thrown out for speaking up when their boundaries are repeatedly ignored.

And yes... every drink is only $5 but heads up, it's cash only. The prices were so good we ended up staying for three drinks each and didn't even feel guilty about it. My husband and our friends ordered The Continental, a black cherry Old Fashioned, and it was absolutely delicious ,smooth, balanced, and full of flavor (I definitely stole a few sips). I went with a vodka pineapple and later a cranberry vodka, both refreshing and perfect. We loved the place so much that the guys even bought merch $10 t-shirts, which honestly felt just as affordable as the drinks.

Atmosphere: The theme here is so cool! It's all about Abraham Lincoln but with a modern, artistic twist. There's really neat artwork everywhere showing different looks of Lincoln. It feels like a true old timey speakeasy. It gets very busy after 8 PM, so be prepared for a bit of a wait, but the energy inside is awesome. Price: This is the most budget-friendly spot I've found in the area. Almost everything is $5! It is CASH ONLY, but don't worry if you forget. They have an ATM inside for you to use. Drink: I ordered the Continental, which is their take on an Old Fashioned with a black cherry. It was delicious and definitely didn't taste like a cheap drink despite the price point. Service: Despite how packed it was, the service was incredibly fast. We got our drinks in maybe 2-3 minutes tops. The staff is efficient and friendly. Overall Experience: Whether you're visiting and staying near Union Station or just looking for a fun local getaway, I highly recommend this place. We walked from our hotel, but if you drive, be prepared to look for street parking or a garage. It's fun, cheap, and has great theme nights. I'll definitely be back!
