Union Lodge No. 1 was a great experience!…read more We all ordered a new drink each time and selection is so large that nobody ever repeated a drink order! 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. Check this spot out. It would be great for a small group of friends or a couples spot to check out.

A world-class, old school bar with a speakeasy atmosphere…read more The cocktails are amazing! American drinks made according to original recipes from the late 1800s. They don't even carry vodka. Their Old Fashioned is incredible. With only a rinse of simple syrup, the flavors of the whiskey and bitters really come through. Very dry, this is not a sweet drink as found in some bars. The Manhattan is similarly classic. Ice gets special attention here. When not in a rough hewn cube, it is crushed with a wooden mallet in an ice bag. The bartenders are outstanding, amazingly fast considering how complicated it is to make some of the drinks. I like that they speak in loud voices and can be easily heard oven the din.

We stopped in after a show at the Buell, and we were blown away by Gabby's hospitality, as well as…read morethe drinks! The sangria was very clove heavy, which was different and interesting. They offered free popcorn to snack on, in multiple flavors- a caramel and a butter flavor. So good! Free pool and Cornhole. A double sided fire place was nice and warm as we were coming in from the cold. The decor was fun and modern. I would absolutely go back and I'm sure the hotel would be a great place to stay downtown too. I would definitely come back!

We went in for an event that was being hosted at Bar AC. Paul was manning the bar and did an…read moreexcellent job. He efficiently handled the bar area even though there were a ton of us. There was ample seating with an array of types. The bathroom is just around the corner. We did order food to the bar. Both tapas were delicious. We really enjoyed the avocado toast. The lamb Albondigas were also excellent.

Recently stayed at the hotel and stopped at this place for a nightcap. It is a quaint space…read moreconnected to the Meridian offering a full bar and appetizer menu. The prices are typical for what you would pay downtown however they do have a free pool table patrons are able to use. We were there on a Friday and almost the entire place was empty so it seems to be a very transitional spot for tourists.

The Lobbyist is located in the Le Meridien lobby near Corrine's and what makes the Lobbyist so…read morespecial is Mike. He is a kite in a hurricane, spinning, twisting, a full force of a barista. 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.

Nice lobby area with a bar…read more Drink: Springtime Spritz (gin, giffard abricot,strawberry, bubbles) it was just ok. Would have gone with a different drink.

I was excited to see Hell or High Water reopen, and after visiting the new location, I'm happy to…read morereport it's still as weird and wonderful as ever. The new space is bigger, which is nice because the old location could get pretty packed. The vibe is still completely over the top in the best possible way. Everywhere you look there's some new detail you didn't notice before. The cocktails were fantastic. Creative, balanced, and fun without sacrificing quality. And yes, some of them are literally on fire, which feels appropriate given the name. Also, I don't know who was in charge of the decor, but they clearly weren't afraid to commit to a theme. I'll just say there are some very noticeable decorative choices throughout the space that gave our table plenty to laugh about. If you're looking for a standard cocktail bar, this isn't it. If you're looking for a memorable night out, this absolutely is.

I had a very uncomfortable and embarrassing experience at Hell or High Water Tiki Bar on New Year's…read moreEve. A bartender with short dark hair repeatedly made sexual comments toward me. 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.

We sat at a table for at least an hour, tried several drinks, and honestly, they were all very good. And they have many options on the menu. I can't wait to go back and try some more drinks. The Soufflé espresso martini was good! But it wasn't my favorite drink I had of the night, I think my favorite was the Lemon Drop Meringue martini-- GOTTA get that one. Oh, and whoever was in control of the playlist was doing a GREAT job, ha. The vibes were (are) RIGHT at this place. Thank & Cheers!

The patron in the corner kept moving it around with his feet. Not a huge inconvenience but I found this annoying. Quite a few different scotch and bourbon options. Gin and vodka much more limited. Service was courteous but not friendly. A bit like dealing with a bank teller. On my second visit the bartender, a woman, was much friendlier.
