    Always a welcoming place to get a drink or two. Reasonably priced drinks with plenty of seating options - at the bar, tables, or out back. Upbeat music is playing from the speakers. It's easy to find R&R off of Colfax with its fabulous vintage sign lighting the way to the rainbow painted door.

    After attending an event I was too wired to go home so as I'm headed home I remember this place could be open. It's a very laid back bar and the bartender I believe named Brian was very courteous and ensured I was taken care of.

    This is what the bar area sorta looks like. Very clean, well lit, and a variety of drinks.

    So I stopped in on a Friday night, around 10:30pm and stayed until midnight. It was my first time to the R&R Lounge in Denver. Upon arriving, I was not greeted but the vibe was welcoming which is good enough for me. The bartender, Matt was very friendly, welcoming, and professional. It was sorta busy and Matt was the only bartender there. Despite how busy it was, he was awesome and made sure everyone was set. The crowd is friendly and it can be loud sometimes but it shows that people are just having a good time. You don't have to be apart of the Lgbtq+ community either. The R&R Lounge welcomes anyone. It's the perfect place to decompress after a long day because of it's vibe and mild dark lighting, but still is pretty well lit. It is definitely one of those hole in the wall dive bars that you can't skip. Thanks to Matt for the great service and friendliness. The R&R Lounge is conveniently located off of Colfax and I live nearby so it's too convenient... I highly recommend.

    R&R is a friendly, older crowd, not too noisy unless it's a weekend. Service is awesome, very "neighborhood" vibe to it.

Clientele is great and you can strike up a convo with just about anyone at anytime.

The gist is I guess it's supposed to feel like an old bar car on a train - I didn't remotely get that vibe except maybe the tin ceiling? I was also not warned by the rec that we should stick more to beers or wine here, not cocktails even though they have a pretty decent cocktail menu. I got two grapefruit mimosas which were pretty good and what I expected. My husband first had the paper plane which he said was fine, but then he ordered the bar's Manhattan (meaning they have one they make on their cocktail menu) and it tasted like bourbon and water - like, really not good. He told the bartender and she remade it, but it was still not good. The bartender struck us as....something off? Drunk? Completely out of it? I love a good bartender (friendly, chatty, funny, whatever) and she just seemed in a daze which I think kind of soured our visit. The rest of the people at the bar were fine, nothing too exciting happened. A guy did come in and ask for a glass of water because a trash can outside was on fire, so that was a new one. Upside is they do have some parking on the side of the building so it was nice not to have to park on the street. But even as a dive bar goes, wasn't quite our speed.

    This review is a bit different from my usual ones, but for good reason…read more This past Friday some friends and I attended the Jazz night in the Jungle room and loved it. We eventually transitioned to the Rose room so we could chat amongst ourselves. The space is large, with booths and tables spread out around the room. We initially made ourselves comfortable near the stage, but then quickly moved to a booth as it was larger and could accommodate the rest of our friends who planned to join us. I sat on the outer most side of the booth, with a good view of the rest of the room, and made awkward eye contact with a man, who then continued to stare me down. He then approached our table, became increasingly combative and aggressive, claiming the table was his and honestly, just seemed to be looking to fight. I write this review not to dog on the crowd, but rather remark on how safe the staff and other patrons made us feel during this encounter. We held our own, eventually insisting this distraught individual leave us alone, all the while the barista at the coffee bar watched vigilantly, using hand signals to ensure we felt safe. Another table began recording the encounter, which I think further deterred the man from his verbal assault on our group. I've experienced similar at other bars and have been left feeling more scared, but because of the way the community at the Pearl stood beside us, felt regulated after the encounter, and continued to enjoy my night. My only note is that they should lower the cost of wine by the glass, or get bigger glasses! I can purchase the same brands by the bottle at the grocery store for the cost of a glass here. I'll definitely be back

    I was invited by a friend to check this place out--she mentioned it was a new lesbian bar. When I…read moresaw the address, I realized it was the old Mercury Café, which I've never been a fan of due to the parking and the general area. Had I known beforehand, I probably wouldn't have come. That said, I was surprised to actually find parking not too far away. I did pass a few questionable characters on my walk over, and I hoped my car would still be there when I got back. Once inside, I met up with my friend. Like others have mentioned, the music in the main bar area was extremely loud--too loud to hold a conversation. It was crowded, and people kept bumping into each other, but to be fair, everyone was respectful about it. No one seemed to be doing it with bad intentions. The line at the bar was chaotic, but once I finally got up there, the bartenders were super friendly and attentive. We eventually made our way to the adjoining room, and it was a completely different vibe--much quieter and more relaxed. We could actually talk. I decided to order food. One server--tall, with black hair and torn fishnets--told me I had to order at the bar. But another server, much more accommodating, let me order from her directly and took great care of us. I ordered the patty melt, and it was surprisingly good--definitely better than what the Mercury Café used to offer (which was strictly vegetarian). Ultimately, though, I don't think I'll be returning. The noise level in the main bar was just too much, and the overall environment felt uncomfortable to me. Yes, it's a bar, but the acoustics in that building are rough for the kind of crowd they attract. I did notice they host various classes upstairs, which could be a cool draw for some people--just not quite enough to get me back.
