Stayed at Loveland's Best Western Plus for a week and ordered take out twice from Monroe's. First order was really good, had the French Dip. Second time we splurged & ordered 2 of the Colorado Ribeyes. When you order a steak medium rare and you get it well done AND pay $29 it doesn't promote a lot of confidence in the kitchen staff! Had ordered the artichoke spinach dip that came with rock hard pita chips that could break concrete! No problem, we'll eat the celery & carrots that also came with it. NEGATIVE! Carrots were so dried out they were cracking, and the celery was rotted! So much for the appetizer! They offered to remake the steaks, comped the appetizer & offered us free dessert. Round 2...steaks were AGAIN cooked well done! This was a re-do so one would think extra effort would have been made...NOT! It was Saturday evening and by the time we had sat down to eat again it was 9:00. Called them back but they were already closed. Okay...so we'll take them back Sunday...NO CAN DO, closed on Sunday! Doesn't open until 4pm Monday. Husband takes them back for a REFUND this time only to be told "they've done all they can do" REALLY? I don't think you even came close! If you're going to charge people $29 for a steak THEN hire kitchen staff that knows how to cook them as the paying customer requests! There's a HUGE difference between MR & WD and if you can't cook it accordingly then you should not have steak on your menu!! Since you find yourself in the position of "doing all you can do" then you leave me no choice to "do all I can do" and that will be to dispute the charge with my financial institution! For a business that operates in the food industry, hospitality & customer service Monroe's needs a refresher course ASAP! Staff was pleasant but whoever made the decision to not do the right thing and refund the steaks that weren't edible after the second time & the steaks were brought back to you uneaten, then I'll do the honors of exercising my opinion on every social media platform I can. Would NOT recommend this restaurant! If you want a great steak, frequent a good steakhouse! read more

Expensive little lounge with NO good food. Incredibly slow service. Ambiance is boring. Many better choices in the area.

Nice laid back crowd and one of the better bartenders in the area describe this place. Conveniently close to the I-25 at US 34 this is a nice friendly low-key and modern lounge. Fridays @ 8 are karakoe until 12ish. I really like this place and I was made to feel at home. A solid 4. read more

Monroe's Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Loveland, Colorado

Are dinner at Monroes Lounge in The Best Wester Loveland this evening. I had their special the dry aged steak. It was one of the best steaks I have ever had. It was so tender you could cut it with a butter knife. I would highly recommend Monroes Lounge. read more

Below is the response I got from my review of dinner at Monroe's. It was very poor and obviously a canned response. As I mentioned in my review, WE ARE THREE LOCALS - we dined in, we didn't stay. Did anyone actually read my review and comprehend it? Also below that is my review. What a joke! CHUPPRIE JENKINS REPLY TO MY REVIEW: Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your experience while staying with us. Your experience is below our standard. Providing the highest level of hospitality is our number one priority and I sincerely apologize for failing to meet your expectations. I have shared your feedback with the restaurant leadership team to ensure the necessary guidelines are in place and reviewed to prevent this from occurring in the future. I hope you choose to stay with us again when your travels bring you back to the area. Sincerely, Chupprie Jenkins Director of Sales MY REVIEW: Filet Mignon 1/21/2023 Unfortunately, our experience was not the best. We are three locals who chose to come out to Monroe's for the "upscale dining" and cocktail experience promised on the website...I wonder if the bartender really knew how to make any cocktails, as our margaritas were less than stellar and we were not offered a cocktail and/or wine menu....asked about coffee and told they could get some from the hotel lobby...the mozzarella wedges were good enough, but the onion rings and fries had a strange, smoky taste to them....The burger was average, the salmon and asparagus were okay. The $29 filet was over cooked, having ordered med-rare....When it was mentioned to the server, she let the bartender and know. The bartender then came over and ended up taking the steak off the bill. The excuse was the filet had been frozen and didn't have time to thaw, so the cooking was extremely overdone trying to compensate for that...Why is a $29 filet frozen? And why would they not be thawed by the time the dining room opened? Supposed to be 8 oz but definitely was not... The atmosphere felt less than upscale, and while our server was attentive, nothing made us feel like sticking around for another drink or dessert...What a disappointment...Lack of concern or care for those who walked in the door..... read more

I just ordered over 100.00 in delivery from this joint, and they literally called me to charge me separately for extra ranch. A 25 cent charge. I tipped 15 dollars. If you can't let 25 cents of ranch go, you can't have my business. Enjoy my money Monroe lounge - you will never see it again. So the food showed up. Unfortunately, my 2 star review can longer be upheld. Cuban sandwich was dripping, the Loveland Philly was so salty it is literally inedible. Ranch ramekins after all of that we're only 1/2 full, and the breading on the chicken fried steak was so soggy it was easily piled up with a spoon next to the chicken. It ended up in the trash, and I had to make dinner because everyone was still hungry. Fries were actually pretty good. 1 star for good fries. read more

We went out for a night of karaoke with friends and were pleasantly surprised by the nice sound system and very professional karaoke host. The atmosphere was nice, yet relaxed--families were present at the beginning of the night near the end of the dinner, and later the lounge transitioned to a more classy night crowd scene. We enjoyed our dinners and beverages, and staff was friendly. Great place for a night out! read more

We like to dabble in sophistication, but when someone suggested we head over to Monroe's Lounge, in the Best Western Hotel we shuddered! Best Western has a bar? Or better yet- a lounge? But being professionals (and thirsty), we went for it one Saturday night and the place was packed! We quickly realized our notions were way off base and settled in for a great time. Atmosphere: The lighting in Monroe's is dim and inviting, with candles lit on every table, on shelves, as well as above the bar. When walking in we were impressed with the large half circle bar that creates a focal point. The lounge is small but cozy and still provides plenty of seating throughout. The crowd was mixed with out-of-towners who were staying at the hotel, a handful of locals and a few hardcore drinkers from a wedding party, but all age groups included. Service: Service was great considering the place was packed and there were two servers and a bartender. The staff definitely went out of their way to make sure everyone was well taken care of. Drinks: The bar is fully stocked and has a well-rounded selection of micros and domestics. The wine list was a nice compliment to the drink menu, which featured some classic drinks, as well as some originals. If you do go for their happy hour, they offer two for one drinks on beer, wine and cocktails. Food: Monroe's menu is impressive and reasonably priced. We enjoyed the chipotle chicken sandwich and the black and bleu burger during our visit and both were served on tasty brioche buns. read more

Talked to Violet with my coworker ! She was awesome , let us stay until late, talked about our back grounds , fun times. :-) thank you Violet ! read more

Jess is awesome! Really great service, friendly conversation and she was very attentive!

Thank goodness for Miss Dani when she was there working, bartending, serving! She was a huge asset to this restaurant. Too bad they didn't put her into management right away. She could have had this place shaped up and flourishing in a matter of weeks. She's a great manager and they missed the opportunity. She saved the day more than once. read more

Friendly staff and good food for a decent price. Portions are huge. They delivered to our room which was nice. Would recommend it if you want a tasty meal but don't want to leave the hotel. Only downfall is their menu doesn't show any kid friendly options, which was confusing because they did in fact have a kids menu- it is something you have to ask for if you want small portions for the kiddos. Otherwise a pretty nice place to eat. read more

Just waited over 15 minutes & was not even acknowledged, 2 waitress too busy chatting up the men at the bar to wait on other customers in the seating area. Left when ignored by waitress even after I signaled to her. Don't bother if you are a single business woman looking for dinner at your hotel or otherwise. read more

We are so glad that we found this hidden gem. Great food! Friday night is 12oz prime rib cooked just the way you want it. I will admit that the reason i am not giving Monroe's 5 stars is because of their service. Not so great. But they make their own ranch dressing and everything is pretty much homemade and I absolutely DREAM about their veggie side dish. It is almost enough to make me forget that the service is sub-par. UPDATE: We have since decided to not come to this place anymore. They changed how they made the vegetables, the meat served was losing its quality and the service continued to fail. The meat we would order had so much fat that there was a pile of fat we'd have to cut off our serving that was almost equivelant to the amount of meat left on the plate. They screwed up so many times on our orders that the manager was comping us dessert every single time we would visit. We just got tired of all the screw ups. We are not hard to please but I believe that if I am paying for food then I should come the way I ordered it. We recommend that you skip this place if you're thinking of stopping by. read more

Stopped here after a long drive From Jackson, WY, stayed at the Hotel very centrally located at I-25 and US 34. Was very tired and hungry and did not feel like searching Yelp for a place that would deliver food to hotel. The desk clerk suggested Monroe's, the place had plenty of seating with a good crowd. They had live music by a local singer very nice relaxing music. We were greeted by waitress Dana, with a warm welcome and a very friendly smile. This made the whole day a lot better. We had Fish and chips with there homemade kettle chips and a french dip sandwich with a bottle of wine. The prices were very cheep and the food was very good. For a busy Saturday night a job well done. read more

Would have put no stars if I could. The fish in the fish and chips wasn't even edible. Nasty and slimy with a batter that was rancid. My step daughter didnt even get served till everyone else was done with their meals and she just ordered a appetizer. I wouldn't recommend this place to my worst enemy.... read more

The food! I swear, every time I go here there are different menu items. I love everything I've ever had here. The atmosphere is great, the staff has always been friendly. One of Loveland's best-kept secrets, in my opinion. read more

Love this bar!! Jess is awesome!! We've stayed here a few times and it's always been great!

The best thing about a hotel besides the basic clean room and hot water is a bar...And if they have food even better. Monroes has by far better then average bar food. When there I usually have lamb. Its been made right most of the time. First time rare with mint, ok. Second time rare with nothing, yea!!! 3rd time well done with Either anise or sambuka. That time the kitchen manager came out to see what was wrong. Needless to say she knows what lamb should taste like and made it herself and it was perfect Patrons there just are not hotel guest but locals too, wait staff is friendly and prompt with both food and drink. Over all atmosphere is pleasant, food is good, and menu is varied with something for everyone. read more

The food was good for the price and the service was friendly. The only complaint is that the table we sat at in the back corner had a grease build up on the wood that made it tacky to the touch. Deep cleaning or replacing some of the tables is recommended. read more

Food was great,price was good and the service was awesome ! Hallie and Matt were awesome and looking forward to our next visit!

The food was good. Philly Cheesesteak and bangers and mash. My parents ordered the prime rib, which is what brought us in on Friday. They were hopeful to have good prime rib based on reviews however it was overcooked as the focus of the staff was on the regulars they knew instead of pleasing new guests that they could've made into more regulars. We liked that it was quiet and kids not running all over the place. We could actually have a conversation instead of yelling over music and lots of noise. I would come back but not sure my parents would. Time will tell. read more

Nice small pub inside a hotel. Crowd includes locals and guests. Prices are reasonable and food tasted good.

Went to Karaoke Sat night. What seemed to be a calm hotel bar soon turned into a party. Staff was over the top friendly. Had a great time. If Karaoke is your thing, go there. It's kinda small so don't judge when walking in. Good times!!! read more

The service has really gone down hill. I used to go here about once per week but the wait staff now is very disrespectful and obviously does not care about customers. Service tonight was extremely slow. After the bartender did take my drink order she then gave my drink to someone else. I received no apology, just a snobby attitude. It used to be much better than this! read more

This is a great place to hang out. Reminds me of small town living and socializing with friendly people! I highly recommend this place, Emili and Nattia are great servers. Very alert and attentive. read more

Probably one of my favorite bars to go to now days. Always have local beers on tap, and good ones for that matter. Has a good menu with reasonable prices. I always seem to strike up a fun conversation with a total stranger, great atmosphere. read more

Great place to eat for Friday night. Great Prime rib. Have the best beer cheese soup I've had in a long while. Will definitely be back for more great food!!! read more

In my opinion this is one of the best kept secrets in the Loveland/Ft Collins area. My wife & I eat out a lot and we are always trying different places in this area. The amount of very good tasting for $9-12 per plate pricing is outstanding. We had the fish & chips and the alfredo which were excellent. The service was quick although it was Saturday night and not very busy. They had live music playing and it was very relaxing. Our waiters were quite comical and ensured every table was taken care of. We watched another table enjoy one of their bugers. It looked good. For being so close to the Centera Mall I can't believe more people don't drive across I-25 and try this place out. We will definitely return. read more

Absolute worst experience we have ever had at a restaurant. Made reservations for our 9 year old daughter, my wife and I for 7pm on Valentine's Day. Showed up approximately 5-10 minutes early and we were seated immediately. And that ends our evening with this restaurant. 25 minutes later of sitting there and not even so much as getting eye contact from anybody working in the restaurant we decided to leave. The gentleman at the table next to us had to get up twice from his dinner to go get more drinks. I would understand the slow service had the place been busy, but nope, only 1/2 to 3/4 full and its small. Way to ruin Valentine's.. read more

Food was amazing, service was slow though. But the chocolate lava cake was to die for! Overall a good experience

It was a pleasant surprise to find Monroe's at my hotel. The food was great and the bartender was awesome. He made me one of the best Moscow Mules I have ever had, plus he was friendly and knowledgeable. Kudos to them all. read more

Food here was very good. There were problems with the orders and the bill that have the potential to make you forget how good it was. We had three parties at one table. All three orders came out wrong. One person ordered chips and received fries, one couple had two orders of wings one BBQ and one Asian zing, both came out Asian zing. The waiter (one of two we had) said he would bring out a BBQ at no charge. One person ordered a bowl of soup and got a cup, one person ordered a house salad and got a chicken salad and the steak salad came out without the blue cheese. Then the checks were wrong, we gave the waiter the corrections (yes we were charged for the extra wings and every ticket had items from another's party on them) and he fixed the checks and brought them back still wrong. Waiting 45 mins to pay your bill due to their errors is unacceptable. But the food was good. read more

Actually, very surprise with great food and service. Mark, the restaurant manager, was very friendly, had lots of suggestions and shared his vision for the restaurant. We had their Friday night Prime Rib special which was excellent and enough to share for two. Mark later brought out the chef, very impressive, for a small hotel restaurant. We really liked him and he also shared his thoughts on the place. He was very personable, he complimented his workings with Mark and also had high regards for the owner. Honestly, my vision, a place that cares what people think, they are creative, a step above with their food and an overall spunk for wanting people to enjoy themselves and relax. I wasn't able to stay for entertainment, but will be back ,as I know it will an another sincerely good experience. Really a great place for anyone that wants good food and a place to relax. A real surprise and a place I can't wait to go back to. Seriously, stop by as you won't be disappointed. Also, I need to add that the bartender was good, but didn't remember his name when writing this review. Thank you and please take the time to stop in. I believe Happy hour 4 - 6 seven days a week. They really support local Colorado breweries etc. read more
