During my June, 2024 vacation to Colorado, my friend, Felixx, invited Alyssa and me to meet up with him for after dinner drinks at the Lazy Greyhound on Saturday, the 22nd. Wow, I didn't expect to be blown away by a bar! The Lazy Greyhound is not your typical watering hole - the establishment is a chic speakeasy-style cocktail lounge inspired by the classic British gentlemen's clubs of the 18th and 19th centuries. Nestled within downtown Littleton on Main Street, the location is a hidden gem amidst numerous breweries. After easily finding free street parking nearby, we arrived shortly before 8:30 PM. Entry was like stepping into a different world through an unassuming exterior - inside, the dimly lit room's timeless elegance with Chesterfield leather sofas was softly illuminated by the three stained glass pieces above the bar, one of which depicts the venue's namesake. The tasteful décor adds a touch of class and sophistication to the intimate ambiance and handsome atmosphere. After we were granted to enter past the red velvet rope at the front door, we grabbed a seat at one of the Chesterfields. The comfortable lounge seating made for a cozy spot for relaxed socializing and the music volume was perfectly pleasant for personal conversations. The setting was casual, but refined, with vintage touches. My kind of place, for sure. To complement the stylish environment, The Lazy Greyhound offers an extensive menu featuring a unique blend of timeless classic cocktails, "OLD DOGS/TRIED & TRUE CLASSICS," and creatively crafted modern drinks, "NEW TRICKS/SEASONAL CREATIONS," as well as beer, wine and "SMALL BITES/SHAREABLE SNACKS." Remarkable service also adds to the delightful experience. Our server, Zach/Zack/Zac (sp?), was warm, friendly and genuinely engaging - he took the time to guide us through the impressive menu and was eager to offer beverage suggestions based on our preferences. I was looking for something with an egg white foamy topping, so he suggested the AMARETTO SOUR, IMPROVED ($15) which was velvety and the signature almond sweetness was not overpowering. Alyssa went with the ALWAYS ON CALL ($15), a deliciously creamy coffee-forward mixed drink. We also ordered the PINK SQUIRREL which Zach/Zack/Zac comped for us due to the long wait. The retro, indulgent mixed drink tickled us pink with its hue and creamy, sweet and nutty flavour. Serving the PINK SQUIRREL on the house to us reflected The Lazy Greyhound's commitment to customer care and satisfaction. Felixx ordered the yummy MEAT & CHEESE BOARD which was served with thoughtful presentation. True story: I super suck with electronics and am practically blind without my eyeglasses, so I accidentally undertipped Zach/Zack/Zac while using the handheld payment system. When I saw the receipt back at Alyssa's house, I was horrified to see that I hadn't tipped him what he deserved. I returned to The Lazy Greyhound on the 24th just before 11 PM. Even though they were closed and the doors were locked, I knocked until someone answered so I could personally give cash to Zach/Zack/Zac to make up for my mistake. He was very gracious and thankful. The Lazy Greyhound immediately earned its spot as a favourite bar of mine through their intimate, speakeasy-style atmosphere combined with their innovative concoctions and welcoming service. They stand out as a premier destination for a high-quality, relaxing and memorable evening. read more

Great staff, reasonably priced cocktails and a good atmosphere without being too loud. One of the few cocktail lounges I've been to recently where you can actually hear the conversations from your company. Each season they rotate their specials and their spring drinks are in! I actually prefer their last couple specials compared to this time around but they're still good! We ordered the equinox, master of the house and old fashioned. The old fashioned is pretty boozy but an easy one to drink, it's your basic old fashion but tasty Master of the House sounded interesting, but I guess I'm not really a fan of spicy drinks (even though I love spicy foods). I ended finishing it but my friends enjoyed it! The equinox is a light and refreshing drink, which could benefit from a little more lemon (or the lemon juice was on the lighter side that day). Overall it's a spot we frequent when visiting our best friends in Littleton. We love the quaint and Victorian atmosphere and he staff has always treated us well. read more

Fantastic drinks with unique twists! The most adorable greyhound decor done in tasteful design, whimsical and with a lot of spirit! I had the earl grey vodka-based Breakfast at Tiffany's and it was beautifully presented and so flavorful! The Christmas decor was lovely and cozy. The cribbage board table was classy and charming. I can't wait to return and try the deviled eggs. read more

Such a great spot for a good cocktail! Their drink menu changes seasonally, so you'll want to go several times throughout the year. Every drink is made with care. The vibes are a little dark and moody, great spot for a pre-dinner drink or date night. The space is a little small, so it probably wouldn't be great for large groups. I noticed service can get a little slow when it's busy, but the 2 employees do the best they can to keep up with orders and check on guests. One of the bartenders, Alison, is a girls' girl! She was the best!! read more

This place is amazing! The ambiance, the music, and the bartenders were all fantastic! Pri, our bartender, was an absolute professional in every way. Anytime I'm in Littleton I will visit this bar. I can't recommend this bar enough. read more

So glad I was introduced to this downtown Littleton bar! When we arrived, we were told they had a private event happening in 45 min, but as long as we were out by then, we were welcome. Most places wouldn't have even accepted new customers, but they were very accommodating and welcoming. Would definitely go back! Loved the decor and ambiance. read more

The Lazy Greyhound - Seasonal cocktail + espresso martini - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Littleton, Colorado

Good drinks, good service, reasonable prices, and neat decor. Loved the stained glass and vintage feel. It is quiet enough on a Friday night to sit and have a conversation without it feeling TOO quiet. The servers and bar tenders are very knowledgeable about their drinks, I would definitely recommend asking them about the cocktails. read more

Went for a drink and enjoyed the place. Bartenders were fun and chatted us up nicely. Good vibe.

I gave this place a try because I really love a great cocktail, but the vibes just turned me off. When you walk in you are immediately blocked by a red velvet rope like this is some sort of swanky New York club... but guys we're in downtown Littleton. Can we calm down please? Despite my meager attire, I was deemed worthy by the gate attendant and graciously allowed to enter and sit at the bar. I had two delightful, yet overpriced, drinks, and I still had to pay for the same Illustrious Assorted Nut Mix that is free at almost every other bar. Shrug. I'd pick Death & Co. over this spot any day of the week if you're looking for stellar cocktails and nothing else. If you're looking for amazing cocktails, AND food, AND bartenders then head over to Kumoya. read more

Happy hour was great. Stylish mixed drink options. I liked the gin drinks (French 75 and seasonal Rhu). My friend got some vodka options. Lots of fun options. Ambiance was nice and loved the cheese/meat board. Will come back soon! read more

If you believe that you only drink a little, come here and you will turn into a different person who drinks a lot. I am a big fan of classics and the Lazy Greyhound hits the mark beautifully. This cocktail lounge is a classy, old school speakeasy that is social, vibrant and yet uber understated sexy. Tucked within the shops of downtown Main Street in Littleton, if you focus and zero in on a good time, you will see the hidden gem. We managed to beat the crowd on a Saturday night and parked our happy butts for a bit. Stained glass on the bar backdrop with touches of their love for greyhounds scattered, there is no bad seat. We snagged a couch facing the bar but next time, I am getting the corner with the library books and globe for more intimate setting. The cocktail list is extensive to quench your thirst. Mocktails available for those being responsible or pursuing a healthy liver. It ranges from your traditional cocktails like old fashions to seasonal cocktails. I like to think I am in shape. Like the shape of a potato. In the form of vodka...particularly the Telluride Distillery vodka in the shieldmaiden cocktail. This cocktail has Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot, Passion Fruit, Pomegranate, Lemon, and Egg Whites. THAT is how eggs should be served! The Kindred Spirit has 7 Year Filipino Rum, Velvet Falernum, Aelred Coiron Jaune L'Herboriste, Grapefruit, Lime, and Coconut. Can I make out those ingredients? Does it matter when it tastes so good?!!! Not only beautiful to photograph, cocktails are yummy. I have my eyes set on the Always on Call and San Francisco Smokeshow. Try them and save some for me. Just to keep you from stumbling into utter bliss, there is a small menu of shareable bites including the seared ahi tuna and olive tapenade. The daily forecast here is alcohol, low wi-fi and unforgettable decisions. Drink up buttercup, it's a liver crossfit. read more

The vibes are great, especially for a Littleton bar. The cocktail list is fun and filled with all of your favorite classics. Unfortunately, the service was bad. The bartender was rude all night and the drinks are way too overpriced for me to be treated that poorly. Such a shame because this place has so much potential! read more

Really low key and chill spot in Downtown Littleton. Great cocktails, I recommend the Old Fashion. Their bourbon selection is great. Got a great seat next to the window and our waiter was amazing. Recommend going here for a nightcap. Not TVs but a lot of good company. read more

Totally cool place! Decor and ambiance makes me want to come back. Pricy drinks but warranted by the "cozy" size and general layout. read more

This place is the spot on a Friday night so be ready to wait a little to snag a spot. But, the wait is worth it. The atmosphere is alive, social, and vibrant. I love watching the bartenders do their thing and dance while making their cocktails. Our server was so friendly and despite the place being packed, he frequently checked in on us. I got the "My Pear Lady" which tasted like fall in a cup. My husband got the Manhattan which did taste a bit watered down. He followed up with the "Wayward Gourd" and that was tasty! I'm excited to go back for a new season of seasonal cocktails! read more

We stopped in while hanging out in downtown Littleton's and decided to have a cocktail and a bite to munch on. The service was awesome. Really nice female bartender that was helpful with drink choices and a light to help with my cocktail photo. She was sweet. Drinks were on point and delicious. I love green olives so the olive tampenade was delicious with the little crunchy toast bites. The place is decorated really well. Love the exposed brick walls and the speakeasy feel the place has to it. Fun vibes to chill with some friends. Tons of couch seating. A bunch of very comfortable bar chairs. Great place! read more

This cocktail lounge is committed to its theme. There are little touches of greyhounds everywhere - from the decor to the menu. The cocktail list is extensive, ranging from traditional cocktails (old dogs) like a Pink Squirrel and White Russian to seasonal cocktails (new tricks) such as Respect Your Elders and Daywalker. They have a few, delicious small bites to accompany your cocktails. The meat and cheese plate is plentiful. The service is friendly and knowledgeable. Be sure to get here early or else you will be waiting behind the red velvet rope for a coveted spot as seating is limited. read more

Cool ambiance inside the place. However, the service was poor. Took way too long for us to get a drink. Bartender screwed up several drinks for our party and they were not difficult drink orders. Sadly will probably not be coming back to this establishment. read more

Love this little place, you almost miss it if you're going through downtown Littleton too quickly!! The cocktail lounge has a classy, old-school speakeasy feel to it, and they serve a great mix of classic and new/seasonal cocktails. I got the Violet Beauregard and it was delicious!! The best part? The greyhound theme!! Vintage photos and paintings of greyhounds, greyhound snout coat hangers in the bathroom? The bartender was friendly and it was so cool to watch her make the drinks! Will definitely stop by next time I'm in the area. read more

Simply put: wow! We're so thankful we're in walking distance of The Lazy Greyhound. What's not to love about this place? The owner was friendly and was engaging with his stories. The staff was helpful, friendly, and funny. The space is a nice place to get away from it all. Now, you have to be patient and plan ahead. They do not take reservations or have a wait list. But trust me: it's worth the wait. I almost don't want to leave a review for The Lazy Greyhound, because selfishly, I love our little neighborhood gem. But of course I want them to be successful, so be sure to check them out. Just don't do it on a night we're going out! read more

Dimly lit, cozy, moody, delicious. We were out walking with friends and stumbled onto this place and had to stop in. All of their drinks were interesting and had very unique twists to them. Staff were friendly and helped us find the drink of our liking. We are really excited to go back! read more

Beautiful bar! Absolutely wonderful staff. Genuinely, such sweet and efficient people. I've never been in a bar with leather furniture that wasn't... questionable, but everything in here was well maintained and clean!! We ordered a slice of chocolate cake to share. It was rich and delicious and absolutely MAGNIFICENT with the Shield Maiden!! Beautiful combination I think everyone should try once. (: read more

Excellent cocktails, service and atmosphere. I took two relatives from Washington DC today and they loved it. I had the Belfast & Black cocktail and it was the best cocktail I've ever had (and I'm 65 with lots of experience). My sister in law loved her Old Maple Walnut cocktail, and my brother in law thought his White Russian was great. In addition to cocktails, this bar offers beer, wine, and shots at reasonable price points. We didn't try the appetizers but they sounded great and were reasonably priced as well. Just a really nice, classy but unpretentious place to hang out. We saw people playing chess, chatting, and just having a nice time. Will definitely return. read more

Everything went well. Love the vibe, decor is lovely, really great drinks, and even better staff.

This place indeed lives up to its name, lazy. We made a special trip to Littleton to visit this bar tonight, and it was a disappointment. The bar is beautiful, but there is no standing room to grab a simple drink. I have heard the drinks are great, but no drink is worth being treated poorly to get. At least 10 other people checked out the bar and left while we waited for someone to greet us as the roped off entrance. We would have waited, but there was no music or really any fun vibe anyway. I am giving an extra star for decor. 2/10 recommend. read more

Great place! My new go to for an early afternoon drink. Professional staff and great ambiance. Drinks are an art here. Highly recommend. read more

The Lazy Greyhound is a place that takes a theme and turns it into an experience. Walking in on a Tuesday evening made me want to sit and smoke a cigar while reading a murder mystery novel in the corner of this bar. I would describe the vibes as "crazy millionaire who is obsessed with their dog has a study in their mansion", and I mean that in the coziest, most wonderfully curated way! The drinks were fantastic, and we tried both the "old dogs" (classic drinks) and "new tricks" (in-house created cocktails) sections of the menu. We will definitely be back when the kitchen is open to try some of their food! Overall, an amazing place to stumble upon, and we will most definitely be returning in the future to what my husband called "his type of bar". read more

Probably go here way more often than I should for Pink Squirrels. Always have a great time, best cocktails in downtown littleton

With all the beer bars on Main Street Littleton, this place is exactly what the town needs. Its blacked out windows and unassuming entrance make it easy to pass up. But don't. One door west of The Chocolate Therapist, it's like a private club that Sinatra would frequent. It has a classic leather interior, a welcoming, chilled atmosphere and a long list of creative cocktails. The only thing it didn't have was a baby grand piano where someone was serenading us while we sat and enjoyed our drinks. My initial visit was in the early afternoon to see what this place was all about. Next time I'll go there with friends in the evening, maybe in combination with seeing a performance at The Town Hall Arts Center which is only a block east of this lounge. read more

One word, AMAZING. This place has wonderful bartenders, atmosphere, and drinks. I come here frequently, and have no worries about the wait, it's worth it. The seasonal drinks are always fun and delicious, and keeps me coming back to try them before the next menu rotate. read more

Found this spot while out with friends and leaving dinner but wanting to spend more time together. The space is gorgeous, very well appointed. Quiet so you can have a conversation, but they play great music! Service is great! Drinks were hit/miss. I ordered my favorite cocktail, the Corpse Reviver 2 and it was missing the absinthe and Cointreau and seemed their Lillet had either gone bad or was subbed for something else. My husband ordered a Negroni and it was also a little off. What we did love though were the My Pear Lady cocktails. Our other friends ordered bourbon with a large ice cube and of course enjoyed their drinks. We will absolutely be back and just a little more inquisitive about their cocktail recipes next tome. read more

Service was terrible. We were seated right away, but waited 30+ minutes to take our drink order. One of us went to sit at the bar to hopefully get a server and was told "She won't help him, she's in the weeds." Ambiance was lovely with the big comfy couches and we did not have food. The drinks were very good, recommend the old fashion (here's a photo of the raspberry beret)! read more
