When I was unsure of a liquor in a drink she gave me a taste to make sure that I would like it. I ordered the Hanky Panky and it was amazing! Everyone in our party enjoyed their drinks. We also ordered the cheese board and while for the price, I felt like there should be be more cheese. But it was enjoyable and we ate it all and ordered another round. This is a great place to catch up with friends or come for a date. And did I mention they give you warm popcorn upon arrival. Cute, delicious and fun.

We have found one other bar (surprisingly close to home in Maine) that does a Gin Fizz. Although the impressiveness of the foam does not compare to here. During all of our other visits we have enjoyed multiple cocktails and enjoyed some great conversations with both bartenders and other patrons. An absolutely fantastic experience. They are a Pre-Prohibition style cocktail bar but can whip up some off menu cocktails as well. The vibes here are always fantastic as well. Unfortunately, despite all this high praise I must say our visit this trip left us with a good amount of disappointment. The bartender and bar-back for this visit lacked the same expert over the top experience we have previously had. My wife did enjoy having the gin fizz but was her least favorite version she has had at Union Lodge. I will keep the five stars for past visits and will return, but disappointed overall this trip.

They are in the process of having a bar / lounge area which will only add to this already great place. If you're looking to kickback and watch the games or shoot some pool with great tunes in a dimly lit environment. Then this is the place for you. They have snacks and drinks available, but allow you to have food delivered to eat there which is nice. We highly recommend the ice base and if you like minty and fruity hints the lady killer and the blueberry mint gum. We'll definitely be back here whenever we're visiting CO. Thank you for always taking care of Ali and we appreciate you!

They seem to have a great following so I do feel bad that I didn't get their name but if I do get it, I will edit it in here. They played R&B a little bit of funk. They were pretty good bartender was really sweet.

It is beautiful and such a vibe to look over the edge and watch the movement and people within Union Station. You come here for the cocktails not the food IMO. Cocktails are fancy with the price yet you come here for the vibe and experience. Service was excellent and with each drink ordered you get a little munchie. The server paired the munchie with the cocktail. Cooper Lounge is part of the Crawford Hotel. You have to take the side stairs within Union Station to get up - right above Terminal Bar. Great place for one last drink before heading to the airport and/or great place for the first drink when meeting someone coming into Denver on the train from the airport!

So I pulled out my military ID. The bouncer rejected that too, citing "company policy," then explained that there are horizontal military IDs. Okay, but I'm presenting the military ID I was actually issued. What exactly is the next step here? Call somebody and request landscape mode? I'm trying to buy a cocktail, and we've somehow reached a disagreement about the artistic direction of my federal identification. Which brings me to speakeasies. Jesus Christ. It's a secret bar! Except it's on Google Maps, has online reviews, and a man outside explaining the company policy. Incredible underground operation! Double the drink prices! The authorities will never think to check Yelp. I understand the appeal of a cool entrance and a good atmosphere. But at some point we decided ordering a drink needed an escape-room component. Find the entrance. Impress the gatekeeper. Present the correctly shaped rectangle. BROTHER, PROHIBITION ENDED. YOU CAN JUST SELL THE LIQUOR. Can't review the drinks because we never got that far. Can review the experience of standing outside a publicly advertised secret being told my ID wasn't acceptable. Not worth my time. I'll find a bar that's ready to come out to its parents.
