Moody's Lounge - The lounge - Lounges Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

It looks like a speakeasy with dark decor and very dim lighting. We didn't have a reservation as we were in town for only two nights and just found this place on Yelp! They gave us the choice of the bar or the lounge sofa and table we chose the sofa. We were super hungry and delighted they had seafood. The salmon and shrimp were cooked well, the sauce tasty and the potatoes delicious. The bread service was outstanding with an olive tapenade, olive oil, goat cheese, and herbed butter. My sister said the spinach dip was good but was really unhappy with the dressing served with the caesar. That said the tiger shrimp she enjoyed. The service was professional and they were pretty busy (small town, weekend, dinner time). I would come back when in the area again. read more

Go. Just go. Get their crack fries and I promise you will never be able to get those things out of your head. They're LITERALLY like crack. So so so good. read more

A fun meal with good cocktails Located on the mezzanine level (there are only stairs in the front and an elevator in the back), Moody's can get crowded. The cocktails are creative. The staff is helpful. read more

It's rare to sample a cheeseburger that leaves a thoroughly positive impression. This one did. Why? Ingredients are often average or even sub par. Preparation can suffer, with key elements (tomato, patty, onion, etc.) sliding around each other, invariably slipping out. Excessive grease and an overall unhealthy result often ensues. Here, it seems that extreme attention was paid to everything. From the meat itself being grass fed black angus, to the tasty char / charbroil taste present in its preparation, to the cheese that seemed to perfectly complement the patty, to the unique approach that they used to triple sear the bacon for me-- it all worked perfectly tonight. This was not only a delicious cheeseburger, but the quality of ingredients, likely proving beneficial to your health. While I skipped the French fries as they use canola or vegetable oil (seed oil), making them a problem for me, the dinner salad was substituted. But with the side salad, the chef's attention to detail also emerged. It was replete with interesting and somewhat unusual, but healthful and rewarding ingredients as well. Service, pricing and atmosphere are all great. I'd say that for the $22 charged, you end up with a truly memorable cheeseburger. Worded another way, this tasted homemade. To buy these ingredients and prepare them with care, as they did here, doesn't happen by accident. While there are far more exotic and interesting "high-brow" items on the menu, if this is representative, the restaurant has some great offerings and genuine talent in the kitchen. I look forward to returning. read more

Moody's Lounge - Cheeseburger medium / well with triple seared (almost burnt by design) bacon, outstanding cheese and bun. - Lounges Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Speak easy was worth the short search for entrance. Friday HH was moderately crowded. Sat at bar and the cosmo and old fashions ( buff trace) were very good. Just drank, however the food passing by looked good. This place is relatively small and can get loud. We didn't mine but if you wear a hearing aid or are a soft talker be advised. I would go there again. read more

Surprised my girlfriend with a visit to Grand Junction and we decided to check out Moody's....so glad we did! The atmosphere is cozy and dark with a cool, intimate vibe. From the moment we walked in, the staff and our bartender were super welcoming and attentive. We kicked things off with cocktails. I had a Cosmopolitan and my girlfriend had a Hibiscus Margarita. Both were perfectly made, flavorful, and honestly some of the best we've had. We weren't planning on a full meal, just a few bites, but the food tempted us. The curry lamb eggrolls were outstanding.....packed with flavor and cooked just right. We'd 100% order them again. We also shared the calamari, which was delicious, and ended up ordering another round of drinks because everything was just that good. Highly recommend Moody's for a great drink, tasty bites, and a chill atmosphere! read more

Absolutely loved the atmosphere and service! It wasn't exactly a very hidden speakeasy (I recommend reservations) but I would call it a very classy cocktail lounge. Loved every drink we got. The food was very good although it was priced at high end, it didn't overly impress. Overall it was a great experience and I will be happy to go back again! read more

I had been in the road for 5 hours, & the whole time I knew I wanted steak for dinner. So happy I found Moody's! I went for the filet and swapped out the roasted fingerling potatoes for the truffle mash. There could've def been more truffle, but still delicious! The steak was cooked to perfection, and the service was on point at the bar. The ambiance is dark and... moody. Lol Definitely recommend coming here for a lovely and lively vibe. read more

Honestly, I love a good speakeasy but aside from the great service and the bread, this place had no redeeming qualities. The lounge area ambiance far outweighs the dining area's so don't bother getting a reservation. Do NOT use their bathroom under any circumstance and do NOT get the steak... The bathroom was dirty, old, and smelled like raw sewage. The $50 ribeye steak was completely inedible. Also, their drinks were subpar and very expensive. I wouldn't go back if you paid me to. read more

Great atmosphere, from the paneling to the giant black-and-white prohibition-era photos to the lighting! And the staff fit right in, both in style and service. We had lunch here, and the menu was suitably fun. They offer a little bit of everything, from chicken to steak to salmon to burgers--each with a little twist to take it beyond average. I enjoyed the truffle fries. They weren't over-truffled, which was lovely. read more

Moody's Lounge was an eclectic sort of feel. You walk upstairs from a clothing store to get to the entrance of the restaurant. There's a lounge area to sit while sipping or a bar - a place I would probably grab a drink. But the restaurant portion itself just felt off. The door to the bathroom is right there in the space. And the way it was laid out just felt like that were trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. It just didn't work. The food was good but not outstanding. read more

Moody's Lounge - Wagyu burgers with white cheddar, bacon - Lounges Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Nice spot in old downtown Grand Junction. We arrived later than intended due to a dinner running late and we got in basically at last call which was like 1130ish? They closed at midnight i think. The place isn't too huge but a group was leaving luckily as we arrived and we were seated quickly (there were 7 of us). The bartender was awesome and friendly and attentive. I tried the sidecar as my drink and it was good! Never had one before so was pleased and it was stronger than I thought it would be ha! read more

My partner and I came for dinner and drinks the other night while we were in Grand Junction and had a good experience! The cocktails we got were tasty and the food was out of this world good! This is probably the best food we had in GJ! We ordered a calamari appetizer and split the chicken piccata. The chicken piccata sauce was buttery and silky. It paired really well with the crispy chicken cutlet. The calamari was so good too with a caper dipping sauce. The cocktails were solid. Overall they were well balanced, and not too sweet. I didn't try anything unique but then again they were out of the one I really wanted. Be aware that this spot is extremely dim (speakeasy feel). There is a little lounge in the front and then tables in the back for dining. I'd definitely recommend making reservations if you're coming to eat. Overall, good experience, excellent food! read more

Moody's Lounge - Whiskey Sour - Lounges Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Went here before a show at the Mesa Theater next door. It had. Cool ambiance that almost made it hard to go back into the bright daylight after. The bartender and servers were very kind. We got there for happy hour and the menu automatically turns to show those prices during that time. We got the poke nachos which I really enjoyed and the crack fries which were also yummy. Would definitely return. read more

We had our best meal for quite some time at Moody's tonight! Jake Huddleston is an amazing Executive Chef, creating not only creative meals but also mastering the flavor profiles!

Went here for the Valentines Day dinner. We went through the back way (by the Ally / bank side) and wow did it feel like your walking into a speak easy. For drinks I got a lemonade and my S/O got the Black Widow cider, it was very good but very strong (well strong for us). We ordered the Parmesan truffle fries and house salad for starters, the garlic sriracha aioli for the fries were amazing although we had to get a second ramekin of sauce. And normally I am not a sriracha fan but this one was amazing. For main I got the Chicken Piccata and S/O got the Wagyu Burger. They were both delicious but as we already split some fries and salad we were full so we got the leftover Togo. The waitress took out food and boxed it up for us nicely. We also ordered the special strawberry cheese cake to go. While the place was busy considering it was Valentines Day, the small wait time to be sat (we had reservations and only had to wait 5-10 minutes for our table to be ready) and they got us drinks while we waited, the noise level was not two loud but like I said considering it was during one of their busyness nights the noise level was to be expected. But the wait for the food and service was amazing. While we were there waiting for our food, we booked another reservation for May for our anniversary. This is definitely our favorite place to go for special romantic date nights! Great service, great food, for a reasonable price. Unfortunately we didn't get to take any photos of the food due to how yummy it smelled and looked like. read more

Outstanding bar tenders! The atmosphere is laid back and welcoming. Feels like having a drink in your house. Will come back.

Outstanding service from the moment you walk in the door. Food is delicious and of good quality for the price. Never once did a water glass go empty or our needs weren't met. Fantastic place, highly recommend. Don't forget to call ahead. read more

This place was Excellent! From the ambiance to the food and cocktails it was a great experience! I had the chitter chatter, loved it. Food had great flavor and even thou it was busy the service was spot on! I will definitely be back read more

Great place. Usually amazing service. There is one waitress who is absolutely horrible. I love coming here and everyone else has been great but she needs a new job not in the service industry. Her attitude was childlike and rude. She didn't check in on us consistently and she seemed inconvenienced to help us. She got our order wrong. I hope I never get her again. Other than that, great place. read more

I was saddened to see that Moody's succumbed to easy food that doesn't set them apart from any other location in GJ. The ambiance has changed from a speakeasy to a general bar. My husband ordered an old fashioned. Our server put it in as a happy hour drink. It was watered down and not served with a cube but served over ice. The calamari was tasteless, fried in flour without seasoning added. The rib eye was done well, we both enjoyed it and the sides it came with. Our server was ok. Not very attentive and didn't share what the soup was or any particulars about the menu, just scan for the menu and I'll be back. It was an ok experience, I was simply expecting the Moody's that opened in GJ not a diluted shell of a random bar with a couple escalated dishes. Disappointing. read more

Came into Grand Junction late (around 9:30pm) and one of the other restaurants that had stopped serving recommended Moody's. So Happy they did. The cocktails were awesome and the food was great. Liked the vibe. I got the Wagyu Salad and my son got the BLAT sandwich. (Photos below). Definitely recommend. read more

The drinks are amazing. The wagyu burger was delicious. The server was awesome, the manager...meh. The fries, well they suck so bad. The menu says "house cut fries". I must be nuts because what showed up were not house cut fries. Google a picture of house cut fries. You tale a nice big potato, wash it, remove any eyes, slice it (I don't want mine peeled), cut it, fry it, season it, serve it. That to me is a house cut fry. I got some coated wimpy BS fry covered in mascara. I asked the manager who had been yapping to the bartender for 10 minutes in front of me how these are "house cut fries" and she says "oh yes, we cut them amd fry them and then coat them in corn starch and refry them. That is not a house cut fry. You've got a great place here. Please change your fries or fix your menu. read more

Menu was pretty limited. I ordered the chicken piccata. The sauce that was on the dish was an over powering lemon sauce to the point I couldn't eat the pasta that had the sauce. Don't get me wrong I love lemon but the sauce appeared to only contain lemon. I ordered the blueberry mint lemon cocktail and it was wonderful. read more

This is a gem of a lounge. They have an excellent whiskey menu and the bar tenders know how to make cocktails. The service is good. The ambiance is a little corner bar, a little speakeasy, and a little upscale lounge. I like it! Highly recommended! read more

I just arrived in town from California after a 12 hour Trek. Made my way to Moody's in a thirsty and hungry mood. Was greeted by Mike and I ordered the mezcal drink and the wagyu burger. I wish the mezcal drink was more Smokey but it was tasty and the wagyuburger was great. Cool lounge vibes with couches and booths. Reminds me of hip bars in LA. read more

My husband and I had a date night here, and the food was phenomenal!! I had the pasta, and he had a wagyu burger. I can't speak for his dish, but mine was amazing. It was seasoned so well and tasted so rich, using gouda was a fantastic choice. I absolutely want to return here. They have great reviews for their drinks as well, but we are not whiskey drinkers. He had a wheat beer local to CO, and I had a glass of Moscato and we both liked our drinks as well. I'm telling you though, that gouda Cavatappi and cheese pasta warms the soul. read more

Moodys is a cool spot that's unique compared to the other options in GJ. I've been a half dozen times, usually for drinks. It's not actually a speakeasy like some folks bill it as but more of a lounge. They have a decent selection of craft cocktails at a reasonable price. The location is a bit awkward being inside a building above a women's clothing boutique. The inside is a bit weird how it's a lounge with dining area that doesn't quite flow. The appetizers are okay but drinks are delicious and service is excellent. I don't much care for the ambiance in the dining area but the lounge is a chill spot to hang out. I'm hesitant to try this place for entrees or lunch given how lackluster the appetizers have been. However, it's worth it for the vibe and the cocktails alone. It is a very small space so be sure to call for reservations. read more

was my third visit to Moody's .. #1 - a lazy lunch by myself to check the place out and discover what's it all about .. gave me positive vibes and a real chill feeling .. even as it's located in the heart of "downtown" GJ .. #2 - an early dinner to "celebrate" my wife's end of employment - which will move the finish line that much closer to retirement .. Now both times I was puzzled as to the lack of patrons (being new in town I've yet to blend into the ebbs and flows of the dining landscape) .. BUT --- #3 - dinner with friends on a Wednesday night in July .. walked in without reservations and was offered a table in the lounge (relaxed area next to the bar .. very warm and welcoming) .. the staff was rockin' and rollin' ... two mixologists behind the bar .. shakers high overhead .. could have closed my eyes and it could have been North State street in Chicago .. or Chestnut Street in SF .. an interesting menu which could use work (inventiveness) .. but all in all a great dining experience ... read more

First time here this past Saturday night. Not to crowded but seemed like that on Main Street. The vibe is pretty cool. Service was good. My only criticism was that we ordered Moscow mules and they came as lemonade and vodka. Am I missing something here? I'd say given this a try and make sure the bartender knows what you are asking for when you order. read more

Always love coming here when I visit. Went last night to celebrate my younger brother graduating college. Started with the Negroni! Was made perfectly. We got the crack fries, calamari and Reuben rolls for appetizers. Crack fries were my favorite. Got the steak for my entree. Steak was cooked perfectly and subbed the fingerling potatoes for the truffle mash. Great choice! Service was great like usual. read more

This is a new and beautifully sleek second-story cocktail lounge/restaurant right downtown Grand Junction. Their focus is on prohibition-era cocktails and they boast an impressive array of eclectic and tasty spirits. (I tried a small sample of Cnia Mata sweet vermouth and Purity Gin, both of which were new to me, and both absolutely delicious.) The bar staff is so friendly and welcoming, in particularly a very cool guy named Mikey. This man knows his stuff and was very generous in sharing his encyclopedic knowledge on drinks and answering all my out-of-towner questions about Grand Junction. The Last Word he made me was simply divine. (See pic). Thank you, Mikey! A different bartender made me a martini, but shook it instead of stirred it, and left a ton of ice shards in the drink, which ended up diluting the cocktail pretty quickly. As a result it was not as tasty and satisfying as I was anticipating. (The martini is my favorite cocktail, btw, so forgive my fastidiousness here.) Perhaps this is something I should have pointed out to them prior to ordering, but I assumed martinis were always stirred. Remember, James Bond had to go out of his way to say he wanted his shaken, not stirred. Also, I was not asked if I wanted a garnish (i.e. lemon peel or olives). Anyway, all of that can be forgiven. I should note that I was tempted to dock a point because my two cocktails totaled $37.99 before tip, which is even more than what I pay in my home city of Chicago. So in that regard, there are some minor areas for improvement, and I have no doubt that they will get these fixed. After all, this is a new operation and they are still growing. Still, the overall experience is 5-stars all the way. Locals are very lucky to have a place of this caliber in their midst. read more
