The Monkey Bar at @weltonroom in Denver's Five Points neighborhood. Welton Room: Originally opened in 2019 as an intimate, cocktail-focused lounge. * Monkey Bar (originally Monkey Lounge): Opened on November 4, 2022, when the team expanded into the adjacent space to create their dedicated espresso martini bar and kitchen concept. Fun Fact: They are famous for turning the classic Espresso Martini into a viral art form. Beyond serving standard coffee cocktails, their signature draw is a dedicated Espresso Martini Bar menu featuring outlandish, dessert-inspired creations--including a Whipped Espresso Martini topped with thick dalgona-style whipped coffee, a Dubai Chocolate version with pistachio, and even an Ube Espresso Martini made with vibrant purple yam liqueur. The space itself is designed as a twin-concept lounge: step into one side for modern craft cocktails infused with liquid nitrogen or food-grade perfume vapors at Welton Room, and slide right next door to Monkey Bar for decadent, caffeinated mixology flight boards. read more

Had such a fun experience at Monkey Bar! I tried the Dubai Chocolate Espresso Martini and the Red Velvet Espresso Martini, and both were absolutely delicious. The Dubai chocolate one was rich, smooth, and felt like dessert in a glass, while the red velvet martini was sweet, creamy, and super unique. Thank you champ for the wonderful hospitality. If you're an espresso martini fan, definitely check this place out. I'd happily come back to try more of their creative cocktails! read more

Everything here is so good, but pricey so just be aware of that. My friend had the hash, which she said was really good, and perfect for a gluten free option. I had the eggs Benedict with duck, which was savory and tender- would get again, even if it was a little small for a $22 meal. I also got a mimosa and a raspberry beret- the beret was delicious and served with the coolest presentation- they used dry ice to create smoke! The decor is very maximalist mid century- love it! Great for a date or if you are impressing someone. Don't let the location scare you off- everything around it looks closed but once you get inside it's absolutely beautiful. I can't end this review without gushing about the staff. I had a weird fainting episode and scared the crap out of my friend- our server and the rest of the staff were on it, so sweet and helpful. They got me a cold towel and an ice bucket so that I could recover. I was so impressed by how they handled everything! Ultimately, I would come back just for the service, but the food and drinks were excellent as well. Definitely worth returning for! read more

We went a few weeks ago for my birthday. The spot was definitely small. We had a reservation (which you definitely need on like a weekend or busy time). A Wednesday 430pm - wasn't crowded. My husband told them it was my birthday before we arrived so they made me an ube martini. Purple and fantastic! I ordered the tiramisu, my husband got a classic espresso and my best friend got the Dubai chocolate. All of them were beautiful! I think my favorite was the Dubai chocolate. We also ordered appetizers of the burrata and the sweet potato croquette. Burrata is always fantastic! The croquettes were good. They were doing Star Wars themed drinks for May the 4th so Star Wars was playing in a screen (that you could barely see due to the sun). They both got the red velvet espresso martini topped with whipped coffee. It was cute but very sugary. Service was fantastic! The staff was so nice!! Maybe I'm just not used to inflation yet but the prices for everything just felt so expensive!! read more

I was recommended to come to try the espresso martinis, but I ended up on the "wrong side". It worked out perfectly staying where I was. The space was beautiful. The bartender was so kind and very helpful!! The lychee lovely was my favorite. First, lychee. Second, fruits and egg whites? Yes, please! Perfect place for a date night, night on the town, or a quick happy hour stop! read more

Welton Room - Tiramisu Espresso Martini & Nexpresso Martini - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great Vibes! The music was amazing, the energy was fun, and the drinks were surprisingly reasonably priced, especially for New Year's Eve. We were having such a good time that it honestly flew by. That's why the ending was such a letdown. We got a very last-minute heads-up that we only had about 20 minutes left because of the 2-hour limit, which totally flipped the mood. We had just purchased drinks and genuinely felt like we had to almost chug them to avoid wasting them. We were actively ordering drinks and honestly would've each had a THIRD, but the sudden cutoff completely turned us off. On top of that, one of my drinks never came at all, so the night ended on a stressful note instead of a fun one. I understand time limits on a busy holiday, but earlier communication and a smoother wrap-up would've made a big difference. Still a great spot for the vibe and music, just make sure you have a backup plan. ***This will NOT be your only stop due to the time constraints. read more

Finally got to visit this place. It's in a weird spot/area. The Welton room has tapas so a good evening spot for a snack or pre dinner appetizer. We also walked over to the espresso martini bar for their themed cocktails which was really cool and delicious. We'll definitely be back for more drink themes. read more

Calling all espresso martini gals!!! Don't miss out on checking out the Welton Room. Located away from downtown- except to uber and parking seemed to be difficult to find. Reservations are highly recommended as the space inside the bar is limited. Luckily enough (and love) to sit at the bar which allows you to watch them curate these not only gorgeous looking, but mouth watering, pure luxury martinis. Plus cute boards the martinis are presented on! Ended up ordering 2 different flights to share, which allows you to explore more of what the menu offers. read more

HUGE bummer that Monkey Room is closed on Mondays. I didn't realize they had separate hours until my friend and I showed up. We were really looking forward to experiencing their espresso martini flights but ended up enjoying delicious drinks in their main space. There were even $10 mini martinis for happy hour! Their shooters are actually AMAZING, especially their Butterbeer one. We also tried the Golden Dragon. Can't remember which mini martinis we ordered, but vibes were classy and chill. Service was lovely. It was pretty empty on a Monday night, as expected. Would definitely come back again and try for Monkey Room! read more

Although I don't come here as much as I used to, Welton Room is still one of my favorite places in Denver. The Five Points bar and restaurant lounge takes hospitality to a whole new meaning. And they haven't skipped a beat since opening six years ago. The cocktails are creative, gorgeous, and progressive with their presentation. The dining space is comfortable and luxurious. The food is crafted meticulously and appropriately priced. And the service is second to none, maybe the most gracious in the city. I cannot recommend Welton Room's weekend brunch enough. I took my wife here for her first Mother's Day, along with her grandma and our young son. The experience was flawless. Not Your Everyday Paloma ($15) // tequila, aperol, elderflower, grapefruit, lime, sparkling pink grapefruit. This is an elegant take on a paloma. It's a PERFECT brunch cocktail. Raspberry Beret ($15) // gin, raspberry puree, elderflower, white cranberry, lychee, lemon, egg white. Silky, stunning, and wildly delicious. Men, don't be afraid of ordering a brightly colored drink with a flower garnish. It's a fantastic fruity cocktail. Steak and Eggs ($29) // guajillo sauce, fennel chimichurri, fingerling potato. I want to eat this meal every single weekend. The steak and chimichurri combination is lethal. The perfectly cooked eggs, the addictive potatoes, oh my goodness. YES YES YES!!! Though I didn't eat my wife's Chicken and Waffles, I've had it once before and can attest to its deliciousness. Same goes for their classic French omelet with rotating ingredients. Finding a proper one is easier said than done, and you can tell the chef has been executing these for years and years. I've gotten to know Champ and crew over the years. They are beyond passionate about what they do. They are doing really special things here. If you're looking to ball out on brunch or expertly made cocktails, Welton Room needs to be towards the top of your Denver food and drink list! read more

This espresso martini bar did not disappoint at all! They have so many cool and unique flavors. We ordered the Ube Espresso Martini and the Tiramisu Espresso Martini. Both were very delicious. I really liked the presentation. We also ordered some of their classic flavors like the Saffron Vanilla and the Classic Tiramisu which were both very solid options. Customer service was also great. We did not have a reservation, but they still managed to sit us. At first, we were seated in the lobby area of the hotel (which we were okay with being served there), but as soon as an opening came up, the server immediately moved us inside the bar. I really appreciate this gesture and I would definitely come back if I ever visit Denver again. read more

First time trying Welton Room and it was great! The decor and seating was classy chic with pops of color everywhere which i really liked. My friends and I went for their brunch menu which is from 11am - 2:30pm. I ordered the Classic breakfast: 2 eggs, potato smashers, house made focaccia with fruit preserves on the side, house ground breakfast sausage. It was all not only delicious but very filling. My favorites were the crispy potato smashers and the house made focaccia with the fruit preserves. I could eat those two all day every day. If you have been to the Welton Room only at night (I heard that is when most people go), please check out their brunch as well! Looking forward to visiting again. . read more

Checked out the Monkey Bar at Welton Room on a Saturday night. The bar is not attached to the actual Welton Room for dining, you will have to go around to the residential doors to check in. Having a reservation is a must! It's a tiny, vibey area that gets packed quick. Especially this weekend we went, all reservations were booked! They specialize in Espresso martinis but they do have a wine list and a couple cocktails. Everything was delicious and creative but TBH they all tasted the same. Just espresso martinis in different forms. The Ube flavor was nonexistent to me and mostly tasted floral from the topping. I was super excited for the Dubai chocolate but it also lacked the taste of pistachio. Super disappointing that the "Dubai chocolate" was actually just a Kit-Kat with chocolate drizzle on top. Definitely misleading but our group had a good laugh! Overall not a bad spot to gossip and chill for drinks. They have a small tapas menu too. read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday and made a reservation ahead of time. There was plenty of space. I had the chicken and waffles and tiramisu espresso martini. The chicken and waffles were very well executed. I was a bit disappointed that the pretty instagram worthy espresso martinis are only available at the monkey bar. However I'll know next time and plan accordingly. Overall it's a really cute place for brunch in downtown Denver. read more

So great! Madison is the best hostess and server. She was super attentive and so sweet!

I stopped in last night for some cocktails and bites girlfriends last night. We had a reservation so we're seated promptly. We had great service the entire night (we were there a while). We started with drinks from the happy hour menu ( the sidecar and espresso martini). Both were good but the sidecar was fab. Just the right punch of sweet and sour. We had the Japanese fried chicken, tostones, pan con tomate and lamb. Everything was delicious and was shareable with the three of us. The pan con tomate with the least exciting description on the menu, but the server recommended it and wow, it did not disappoint. It was so good with the perfect char. My favorite thing about last night was seeing all the ladies out in groups, all dressed up enjoying each other's company. You could tell everyone was feeling festive. I love this spot and will come back! read more

This was such a perfect experience!! As soon as we walked in we were very impressed with the ambience and decor. The vibe was perfect for pre dinner cocktails. We were greeted by a welcoming hostess with a great personality who explained the difference between their two bars and helped ensure we were in the right spot. From there, we were seated with Sam. She was happy to give us her recommendations for not just the drinks at the Welton room, but for brunch and other great spots in the area. I mentioned that I had dined at an amazing burger spot in town years earlier but couldn't remember the name, and she went to talk with the rest of the staff and was able to get the information for me! We ordered the Tiramisu Espresso Martini, the Carajillo, the clarified White Russian, the Island Egg Nog, and the B.A.N.A.N.A. Each one knocked it out of the park! We were blown away but the perfect balance of every drink. We were only there for pre dinner drinks but we could smell the food arriving at the neighboring tables and were very tempted to canceling our diner reservation. Overall blew our expectations away and we cannot wait to return! read more

My daughter and I visited the Welton room for cocktails before dinner and it was a fun experience! The atmosphere feels both luxurious and a bit extravagant, with velour seats, leopard-print carpet, and even a panther statue. The cocktails, like the decor, are imaginative and Instagram-worthy, with liquid nitrogen and other creative touches to make them spectacular. Not only did they look amazing, but they also tasted fantastic! The service was professional and friendly, adding to the overall experience. They also have a kitchen and offer tapas, I'd be curious to return and try the food. read more

Went here for brunch - even though it is better known as a cocktail bar; but let me tell you something- the brunch was excellent. May I even go as far to say the best tasting brunch in downtown/five points? Yes, the potato hash and the French toast were both excellent you can tell everything here is made from scratch and attention to detail is well balanced. Platings are delightfully presented and the right balance of sweet and savory. They have a nice rotating menu. Will definitely be back. Service was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Bathrooms are swanky. Gives me art deco vibes especially with the black jaguar statues scattered throughout. read more

Omgoodness, they did not disappoint. We went for the flight of espresso martinis, yummmmm. I have to say my personal favorite was the Red Velvet, but they all tasted so very good. They even had one with bourbon, which is a different twist on the espresso martini. We are definitely going back. It is a small spot that you enter just west of the entrance to the restaurant. #weltonroom, #espressomartinis read more

I have to keep updating my reviews because sadly my experiences keep going downhill each time I go. I really want to love this place because of the drinks/atmosphere, but the most recent time I went was a let down. My boyfriend made a reservation for after dinner drinks for our anniversary, and we had to wait 20 minutes for our drinks after we ordered. Then we were told they made our drinks virgin. So then we had to wait again for the drinks with alcohol. read more

This review is for their Monkey Room cocktail bar, around the corner from the restaurant! Ever since I was here two years ago and had this amazing matcha cocktail presentation, I've been eyeing to come back. It looks like they've found their niche in espresso martinis and I'm here for it. We were seated at the bar and I immediately zoned into the ube espresso martini. Presentation was still on brand and came in a cute ceramic cup with dried flowers on top. Very delicious and strong. read more

This is a cool spot on Welton street for great mixed drinks. I am loving the libations and there are tapas to eat. I ordered a mojito and an extra spicy margarita. My friend had a butter old fashion. All of the drinks we ordered were well mixed, super tasty. The service is on point. The space is well lit during the day due to the big windows. l enjoyed the green seating and the overall theme of the lounge. Happy to hear House music because I am a House head. I will definitely be back. read more

We have gone to the Monkey Bar at Welton Room twice now and our group has agreed we will not be giving them any more business. While the ambiance is neat this is truly a Instagram trap and is not worth your time or money. High prices ($20+ per drink), extremely slow service and drinks that are super sweet and don't have a whole lot of flavor. The first time we went we tried the espresso martini flight (the only ones we liked were the salted caramel and the Tirimasu). We also tried the hazelnut espresso martini with whipped coffee which was just alright. On our second visit most of us had the seasonal pumpkin spice espresso martini which took nearly an hour to come out and was way too sweet (think PSL gone bad). The service was extremely slow both times despite them not being super busy. Although the staff was apologetic it was still frustrating since the reservations are only two hours long we only had time for one drink on our second visit. The system (or lack of system) they have for the bar tab is atrocious. We watched numerous staff members shuffle through stacks of credit cards kept at the register and then heard them asking other customers what the name on the card and showing them multiple cards to see if it was theirs. We were pretty sure one of the bartenders/staff was drinking on the job as well. Blatantly drinking out of an espresso martini that he kept tucked behind the mixing machine they use for the whipped coffee. Please save your money and pick one of the numerous other bars downtown. We won't be back. read more

While we did not eat the menus looked inviting. A quaint and comfortable spot on Welton beneath a residential building a friend and I stumbled upon. We just wanted cocktails and their website had a pic of Espresso Martinis. When we arrive we were asked about reservations but then seated at a sofa and table by the large window. We ended up with a tequila version and a good one I might add, of a espresso martini. So good! The waiters were attentive and attractive . Will ho again for a leisurely evening cocktail and bite to eat. read more

We do a yearly summer visit to the Welton Room, and every year we look forward to our martini flight + more. The owners are so friendly and always give great suggestions.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is visiting Denver or enjoys all kinds of espresso martinis. read more

The Welton Room is very moody. The dim lights create a sultry ambiance that draws you in. Cozy seating. Good music, great drinks. Their cocktails are intentionally crafted! The service was quick & attentive. We had a great time here on a Sunday evening. Enjoyed a few cocktails and talked. The music isn't overwhelmingly loud, which makes for great convo levels. I'd recommend this spot for a good cocktail in Denver. The truffle fries were good, but not the best I've had. Expect to pay around $16-$19 for a craft cocktail. I would definitely come back! read more

The drinks are incredible here! I got a reservation on a Saturday night for the monkey bar with my friend. It definitely got busy as the night went on. There were so many unique cocktail options - I had such a difficult time trying to decide what to try! I ended up going with the ube martini and was more than impressed with my drink. My friend got one of their special biscoff martinis and absolutely loved it. It was so large that she had a difficult time finishing it all. The staff were very friendly - we did have to wait some time before getting our drinks which is understandable with how bougie the drinks are and how busy it was. I'm already planning my next visit back! read more

When I saw photos of the drinks here, I knew I wanted to add this bar to my itinerary. I'm honestly not the biggest fan of espresso martinis, so when I looked at the menu online beforehand, I decided I would try the Japanese melon. Sadly when we arrived and looked at the menu (which said it was a Valentine's day menu, even though it wasn't even February anymore), I noticed the drink I wanted was not on it, so I asked if they could make it but they said they couldn't. When we ordered, they asked for a credit card to hold, which seemed a bit odd for a sit-down cocktail bar; it felt like they didn't trust us to pay. We noticed they didn't ask this from other guests who arrived after and sat near us. I ordered the winter campfire flavored espresso martini with whipped coffee, and my friends ordered the Dubai chocolate version. The drinks definitely look pretty, but taste-wise were a bit disappointing. As part of my drink's presentation, they torch the star anise and marshmallows, but for the marshmallows, it ended up that a few got fully burnt and others untouched, when it would have tasted better if all were lightly toasted. The Dubai Chocolate was really just a kit-kat with some pistachio drizzle on it. The drinks were a bit difficult to consume since there was a lot of ice which made it difficult if you tried to mix the coffee foam with the liquid. The martini itself was extremely sweet; I usually prefer sweeter drinks, but this was way too sweet for me. Overall, some cool looking drinks, so if your goal is to take a nice photo, could be worth trying, but for the taste, I wouldn't come back. read more

This was the worst espresso martini I've ever had. All of the hype on their espresso martinis on instagram is not worth it. The service was also very slow and after waiting 30 min for the check.

Welton Room - Espresso martini - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Welton Room is absolutely divine! There's two spaces with each different areas. My first introduction was the Monkey Bar at Welton Room. It is in the lobby of an apartment complex. It's a bit small, but they will always try to find space for if it isn't too busy. The Monkey Bar has the best espresso martinis flight! It is marvelous as each is a different creation based on the season. The bigger area, Welton Room, is nice for brunch. Every cocktail there is specially crafted with unique flavors and presentation. If you're up for something fun, order the Sunday Bath Tub. A lovely fruity tropical drink that you can split with your group. I will say the drinks are a bit pricey, even for Denver. Though, I would say at least go once to experience their Espresso Martini flight! Street parking is usually abundant, but can be tricky at busier hours. The Welton Room is a nice treat once in a while with fabulous drinks and sweet owners! read more

Saw this place on tik tok and it lives up to the expectations! We ordered the espresso martini with whipped coffee and a macaron on top. It was amazing but so much caffeine. My boyfriend has an extremely high caffeine tolerance and was buzzing. Perfect kick start to the night. The taste and the whipped cream was one of the best espresso martinis Ive had. We then tried the saffron espresso martini. I wasn't a huge fan it tasted like you were eating flowers. I'm not really sure what saffron is supposed to taste like because i never had it but we just ended up ordering the first drink again after. Overall this place is worth the hype! The price is very reasonable for an espresso martini with that many toppings and that size. Will be returning here! read more
