Great place for cocktails and desert. We decided to visit the place on a Friday around 4:30 and it was packed. It is a speakeasy lounge that serves food in the dining hall. The ambiance is great for a date. We went for cocktails and snacks /deserts. Tied the Thoreau which was a light version of mojito and colorado G&T . Both very well prepared and not too strong. The cheddar truffles were great and then for dessert the chocolate drunken mousse which I loved and the cream brûlée which was too creamy for me . Overall great experience and I would recommend the place read more

Moody's Lounge - Cream brûlée and chocolate mouse - Lounges Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

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

Moody's Lounge - Friendly bartender Mikey after making me a delicious "Last Word" cocktail. - Lounges Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Food is rock-solid consistently good. Service is great. Ambiance is nicely decorated but LOUD from people talking and having fun!

Logan sets this place apart from other local venues, and with that I believe it is important to think beyond that; just as it is important to separate the art from the artist. We separate Dali from his paintings, or Chris Brown, R. Kelly, recently Till Lindemann from their music. It is true, we try. We try indeed. With that said the meal was incredible. The sword fish was rich and the zest provided by the lime and tequila sauce was something I've never had before but something that should exist everywhere. I will always go to Moody's when I am in Junction, I will chat with Logan who is often behind the bar. I'm the same way I will listen to Ignition. And with hope, I will muster the courage to do both of these things guilt free. read more

Service and food was amazing! We came across Moodys by chance and I'm glad we did. The staff was super nice considering we don't drink just came in for the food! The staff even offered to make me mock-tails just to give me the chance to try something. Try the BLT and you won't be disappointed, but happy with all the flavors in this sandwich. I promise it's the best twist on a traditional BLT. read more

I didn't eat here but I had the best whiskey sour & ol fashioned ever! Service was excellent with a nice selection of whiskey. The "speak easy" style is very comforting. read more

Moody's Lounge - The BEST Whiskey Sour I've ever had! - Lounges Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Tried the rabbit hole cave hill and blue note joke joint bourbon both good . The wagyu tenderloin and strip both ok not the greatest but well prepared . The crème brûlée was very good best in the valley , the cherry lime cheesecake was also very good . I guess our expectations were a little high so was a bit disappointed. The entrees were good the bourbon and desserts excellent. The service was also very good and we will return. I junk probably more a bourbon and burger place for me then steak and bourbon. Again service was excellent. read more

See all

Had drinks and ate dinner at the bar, the place was very busy and bartenders were hard to flag down, nice atmosphere, food was not impressive, chicken parm was pretty tasteless, blackened shrimp skewers were inconsistently cooked, not returning soon. read more

My wife ordered a cosmo and I ordered the old fashioned. My wife's cosmo was very good. My old fashioned would have been great but instead of using a block of ice (as their menu specifies) they filled it to the brim with ice cubes. Ice cubes = death to a good old fashion. Immediately watered down. Any good bartender should know. Likely would have been made correctly depending on the bartender. We will give it another shot. read more

We returned with out of town friends for dinner. The sincerity of staff to bring the best experience to your visit is remarkable and makes this establishment stand out. I hope they make a strong go of it and are around for a long while. This is not a place you can 'recommend' a specific cocktail because it truly depends on you personal preference. If unsure, ask your server to assist you in what might be best given your preference. Be adventurous as every drink has been exceptional. Oh, and ask about their drink specials as they usually have one. I appreciate they update their website as drinks come and go depending on what quality ingredients are available to them. For food, we started with the bread service, yum! - and the calamari that was just right in breading and the sauce accompaniment (both a 5). Each couple shared their own chicken piccata that had a strong but flavorful combination of lemon caper sauce on the pasta- delicious (5). We also added a Caesar salad and house salad(share) to each order. Our friends complimented the Caesar and our house salad was unique and delicious, maybe a bit too much dressing for me but my husband loved it (4/5). I might ask for light dressing next time-just a preference. We spent 1.5 hrs, a very enjoyable experience. Will definitely return. Yes, drinks are not the price of sports bar but this is not that kind of place. If you want to treat yourself to a QUALITY experience. This is it. read more

WOW! Just WOW! My wife and I were SO AMAZED by this BEAUTIFUL and artfully crafted space that not only wooed us with their mixology but made us fall in love with their hospitality and AMAZING people We were instant fans and CANNOT WAIT to see Jesse, Mikey, and Logan again and to enjoy their AMAZING cocktails, food, and hospitality again read more

Food was very good .. dessert and drinks were awesome! Service was also great! Will definitely come back again.

First impression was poor, however our dinner improved. The tables are crowded but functional. The decor is basic at best (as in put a few prohibition posters on the walls and call it a speakeasy) . Plan ahead and do not use the bathroom- its downstairs and had an overpowering odor of sewer gas and air freshener. They still use covid-menu's like they do not plan to be there long enough to actually print any. The bourbon selection was very good and the house old fashioned was tasty along with my wife's cocktails. We shared the Calamari, it was tasty and well prepared yet a very small portion, like tiny foor for not tiny food price. I had the ribeye - rare- and it was cooked perfectly and very good. My wife loved the salmon and shrimp plate and the service was excellent. Overall I could take it or leave it; there are many other places I would rather go for a nice dinner. read more

Our first visit to Moody's and it was amazing. The two bartenders we amazing and quick to recommend great drinks. The food was excellent and very quick from the kitchen. Would highly recommend making reservations as it can get very busy read more

Love the moody atmosphere. Bartenders were super friendly and fun to talk to. Food and drinks are excelente.

Great cocktails- EXCELLENT poke nachos! Highly recommend getting your self a reservation - went on a Thursday at 6:30 and it was jammin'!

My friend was visiting from Phoenix, so I wanted to try this place with him, my husband, and another friend. We loved everything we ordered: west coast oysters, bread service, calamari, Parmesan truffle fries, chicken piccata, pesto pasta, wagyu ribeye, and crispy chicken sandwich. Every dish impressed, even something as simple as bread service. There was variety of sourdough bread, and variety of dip. There were no leftovers. We ate every single bite of the deliciousness. The only thing I didn't like was having to scan a QR code for the menu and our server never checked on us. It was the food runner that would help us ask for more drinks and refill our water. We all had 2 rounds of drinks and our total for this meal for 4 guests was $290. Great price for such quality. read more

Love the speakeasy vibes! Had the crack fries and they are amazing. The drinks were simple wish they had unique cocktails but overall super cool! read more

Loved Moody's. Mikey was great. The food was so good and the ambiance was very nice as well. Will definitely be going back.

Ordered calamari appetizer, sent it back because it was underdone. Ordered Tomahawk steak...it was extremely tough. Mostly fat and grizzle. Not worth the price. Only reason I didn't give one star rating is because the service was very good. read more

I had lunch here today and it was so good. The Cesar salad was excellent, the dressing was homemade, the small salad was an impressive size and the potato bacon soup was the best I've ever had, it was seasoned perfectly. I also sampled some items off my friends plates (chicken piccata and truffle fries) and they were delicious. Service was excellent too. I'll be back next time I'm in the area. read more

Such a cool vibe. As soon as we walked in service was great. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Drinks were awesome, as well as the food. Highly recommend if you are downtown. Great prices too! read more

The crack fries earned their name. Much better than the regular fries and waaaay too tasty. Ordered pickup of the fries, burger and calamari and was ready in about 20. Would order again. read more

Moody's Lounge - Crack fries - Lounges Near Me - Grand Junction, Colorado

Great service and delicious food! We really enjoyed Moody's. The service was friendly across the board from the moment we walked in until we left for the night. My favorite drink was the Bee's Knees (refreshing with the perfect hint of sweetness), but the Colorado G&T was also very good. All our food was great. The Wagyu Steak Salad was excellent! It was pretty crowded the night we were there but the atmosphere was better for it. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing night out with unique drinks and tasty food. read more

I have been coming here since it opened a few years ago and the food has always been great. The last 2 visits in the last 3 months I hate to say it the food was such a disappointment. My steak salad was over dressed and the meat edges was charred and tasted burnt bad bad meal. My husbands chicken dish was over salted. We sat for 25 minutes for the food to come out. This was a Monday night and hardly anyone in there. Do not know what happend but I hope they figure it out. Otherwise staff was great and drinks too. read more

This would be 5 stars if they did something with their restroom. Not only is it a maze to get down there but the bathroom smells like a porta-potti. The soap dispenser is out and used with a plastic dial soap. The paper towel hand is a metal twig and it's run down. For a place that charges $46 for a steak, they need to upgrade their bathroom even if it is a shared one with other stores. Other than that, the food is amazing. Service was great. We had the Three on the Tree drink and was super yummy. My only complaint is a higher scale restaurant needs a restaurant to match it. read more

Ate there yesterday the pasta and chicken were Amazing. The Bartender was very nice and friendly. Would recommend Moodys HIGHLY.

Very busy but not a long wait. THE best sirloin and sides ever! Server was great. Will definitely be back to try more on the menu read more

Hubby & I went for lunch. We were the only 2 there. Our drinks came right away. After 30 minutes our lunch of steak salad & chicken sandwich with fries arrived. We shared them. We ordered the dressing on the side & glad because we didn't care for it. So we ordered another side of blue cheese dressing but they didn't have any so ended up with a balsamic vinaigrette. (This is the first restaurant we've been to that didn't have a blue cheese dressing.) The steak was cooked to perfection but just ok. For the price a bit high for the small amount of meat. The chicken sandwich was good but not the bread. It was a bit too charred. Again a bit pricey for a chicken sandwich. The fries were delicious but they were skimpy on those. Not sure we're going back as $76 (including tip) for lunch was a bit much. The food was ok but not great for the price. read more

Food & drinks are great but service is terrible. Our waitress didn't come back to take our food order and we had to flag someone else down to order. Drinks took forever to get to us. I was done eating my meal by the time I got my second drink which I ordered before the meal came. It's not that big of a place. Service should be better than that. They gave my husband water when he ordered club soda. read more

The food at Moodys was top notch, we had the oysters, artichoke, piccata, filet, BLAT and it was all phenomenal! The drinks and service was fantastic as well, def going back next time we visit Grand Junction! read more

Been here a few times now, a new favorite place. The steaks and everything on the plate were amazing, loved the pan roasted al dente carrots, that's how ya cook carrots right there. The chef isn't afraid to season and the cook was perfect mid-rare. One of the best steaks I've had out in I can't recall when. The service was excellent, drinks are on point and the owner Logan swung by to check on us as well. We finished it up with the 7 layer magic bar with ice cream and that thing was addicting. 2nd time in I had the chicken sandwich which was excellent and the spicy coleslaw was great! My wife had the stuffed portabella mushroom and that was amazing. Shared the vanilla lemon cheesecake with a nice port, perfect finish. 3rd time in we just drank... did I mention the top shelf classic drinks? Can't wait to head back. read more

This was our first time visit. The only reason I couldn't give a 5 star was because of the noise. We were there on a Friday evening, and maybe that's why, but it was difficult to have a conversation with anyone at our table unfortunately. The food was excellent as well as the service. We will return someday soon when maybe the chance of the noise will be less and make it a 5 star visit. read more

Nice speakeasy vibe in the middle of Downtown Grand Junction, CO. Staff is friendly and the food was delicious.

A group of friends and I stopped in for a drink on Friday night after dinner at another local restaurant on Main Street. We had had 2 drinks each at Le Rouge while having dinner (beginning at 6pm), and arrived at Moody's after 9pm. Once taking our seats in the lounge area, we looked over the menu and decided to get a couple apps with our drinks. The waiter that helped us told us that we "had actions and movements that in his 10 years of service told him that we had had too much to drink, and he would only serve us one cocktail". Mind you, we had walked to this lounge in the rain, after consuming 2 drinks previously in the matter of almost 3 hours (with dinner). Our entire party was offended and completely taken off guard. We are all professionals and were not intoxicated, nor were we acting so. This servers rude comments and ill-placed "observations" were enough for us that we will not be patronizing this establishment again. read more

Cool concept and the drinks weren't bad. I had a streak and definitely was not a $42 dollar steak! I like great food so this is a place we probably won't go back to. read more

Total disappointment. To be kind the service was lack luster at best. took 10 minutes to get a waitress to the table. I ordered a shaken martini and watched that sit on the bar for long enough I ended up asking the bartender if it was for my table because my waitress was nowhere. She had 4 tables, it was a Monday. Appetizers hit the table and 4 minutes later entrees were there too. The wagu strip was actually tough. We order moose for desert, is was frozen solid....not moose at all. then the waitress comes to the table with the check and literally blurts out my total....the people behind me knew what my tab was for sure. I was taking my girlfriend out for her birthday. no class in this place. i have never had ANY server speak my tab total out loud to me. Then she stood there waiting for my tip and signature. all automated menus. The menu is actually pathetic in originality, variety and price. atmosphere was ok but defiantly not speakeasy caliber or style. Feels more lounge 70's. Seriously have had better service at every other decent spot in town. The last $150 I ever spend at this place no doubt. read more

The vibe of this place first off is perfect and everything ! The cocktails were amazing . Not to mention the food . New favorite place when we visit family read more
