Over the years we have been trying other places because downtown got so dangerous to walk at night. Wanted to check out this place and we were lucky to get the bartender to actually get up from the chair she was sitting at. There was no one in the bar on Friday nite, should have said it all. We ordered 1 drink paid the over price amount and went on our way to the next spot. Ambiance was a hotel lobby or at least that's what it looked like.

The atmosphere…read moreis beautiful, upscale, and welcoming, and you can tell right away that a lot of thought went into the design. The huge bar located in the middle of the entrance is definitely a centerpiece and creates such a great vibe. We sat around the bar and enjoyed the beautiful views and lively atmosphere. The service was excellent from start to finish. Everyone was prompt, friendly, and attentive without making us feel rushed. Our bartender was especially impressive. They were knowledgeable, professional, and made some great drink recommendations based on what we liked. You could tell there was real skill and experience behind the bar because my cocktail was absolutely delicious and perfectly made. This was the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy a great drink, take in the surroundings, and simply enjoy the experience. Between the gorgeous property, impressive bar, beautiful views, delicious cocktails, and wonderful service, we had an amazing time. I would absolutely recommend Embers Lodge Bar and would gladly come back again. It was a memorable experience and easily deserving of five stars!

While staying at the Gaylord Rockies resort for a conference I recently attended, I enjoyed…read moreterrific cocktails at the Embers Lodge Bar, the main bar near most of the restaurants. Like most hotel bars, the drinks and food can be expensive, but the bartenders are on point with the cocktails. Their smoked old-fashioned drinks were good, the Negronis were very crushable, as was its bourbon cousin, the Boulevardier. The shrimp appetizer that my wife ordered was also very good, and a nice starter before we had dinner at the English Pub. It's a good spot to experience sunsets as you knock back a drink or two, or watch the night sky, so long as it's not overcast or raining. If you look closely towards the ceiling-length windows, you can see the Denver skyline in the distance in front of the Rockies that dominate the landscape from afar.

The next disappointment is the discontinuance of the bacon wrapped wagyue beef dish. But it forced me to try a new dish. Had the Blackened Salmon Alfredo and it was delicious. I had all my meals in my room, but the packaging and to-go meals were packed with plasticware, ketchup, and napkins. There was no room service, so I went downstairs to order and receive the food. Tip: the kids meal menu has chicken tenders that are the real deal. Breast meat strips, deep fried to perfection. Fries were excellent as well.

How lucky to spot Cerebral Brewing right in front of me on Colfax. I was even luckier to find free street parking right out front and open seating at the bar. The beertender was very personable and informative when I had questions about the craft brews. He recommended the Rare Trait Week Flight of Tiny Trait (Hazy IPA), Dank Trait (West Coast), Galaxy DDH (Hazy) and Mango Terpene (Hazy). They were all quite tasty and came on a flight tasting board in beakers. Nice and cerebral, huh? What a cool venue. The space is huge with lots of seating options - bar or tables, free street parking, clean restrooms and exceptional beertenders.
