    Espresso martini

    Amazing small bar! Right in a hotel around great restaurants and other bars. Definitely recommend for a quick drink in the area.

    Sazerac

    The Lobbyist is a textbook example of the reimagined, upscale hotel bar. Located inside Downtown's Le Meridien Hotel, this tiny bar sitting outside of Corinne delivers fantastic cocktails with admirable service. You'll never find more than one or two bartenders behind the stick due to its size, which means on a busy Friday night there's a chance you might wait a few minutes for a drink. In my eyes, the wait is completely worth it. An expertly crafted Sazerac is my love language. The key to my heart, if you will. New Orleans signature cocktail seems to have gotten lost over time, so when I see its name in lights on a cocktail menu my ears perk up. The finished product is a slow sipper sure to satisfy any stiff-drink-connoisseur. Odds of you finding a seat at the bar are slim (there are only a handful), but Le Meridien's incredibly comfortable and swanky lobby (hence the name) elevates the bar experience. Perfect for a date night with your special someone.

    Drinks!! I've been here on all my trips. Mainly because I was always waiting to go up to 54thirty. There's always a wait to go up. This last trip, I gave up and had a drink in the lobby. And for January,2021 it is VERY busy indoor. It's cold outside, no outdoor seating for sure. Lobby is gorgeous so I get it. The bartender was very friendly. He was furloughed till now, Jan, 2021!! Crazy. I had a city scape: mainly because it was beautiful to look at. The flavor was a ok. We also had a bourbon drink. Not bad! Nice little place and it was across from my hotel. I could stumbled back to my room in 500 steps. Kinda cool.

    This place is located right inside the Le Meridien hotel lobby area. They offer lots of sitting with first trendy not too loud music & good for friends meeting up. The price is very reasonable for drinks. Love my well made drink with very spicy salt!

    Scary find on a burger plate

    I'll start by saying they were speedy to serve us when the adjoining restaurant, Corinne, couldn't. We had 2 yummy Wagyu burgers and 2 Caesar salads. Unfortunately, on each plate of fries, diners discovered hair - seriously. When we paid at the bar (because no one checked on tables), we mentioned it to those taking our money and they apologized but had to call a hotel manager to do anything about it - which they said could be 30 minutes. We paid the $95 bill and thought others might care about the experience.

    Only three halves of deviled eggs for $9!! :(

    I'm only rating the breakfast foods they have here. $9 for 3 halves of deviled eggs. I couldn't even get 2 full eggs. The avocado toast is $13 and I added bacon for $3 and it's literally tiny pieces on bacon on top. It's not that great. Save your money and go elsewhere for breakfast.

    I make a stop every time I'm in Denver. They have introduced me to a new bourbon. The old fashions here are so good!

    7 years since I've last been here and its still the same. Yes a couple of the stuffed animals have…read morebeen moved around. But the service and the drinks are still top notch. They've gotten do much busier though. There must've been over 30 people at the bar getting drinks. But the 4 bartenders at the bar were slinging them out quickly. Even though they were fast the drinks were extremely well made and the customer service wad amazing. The ambiance was great!! Everyone was here to have a good time. But no one was overly rowdy or raucous. People were friendly and conversational but stayed in their lanes also. Even though all these years have passed. And the pandemic has ravaged many businesses. The quality and service here still makes this place one of the best whiskey bars around!!!

    Seven Grand is one of my favorite cocktail bars in Denver, hands down. The location alone is hard…read moreto beat - close to Union Station, Coors Field, and McGregor Square - and despite being right in the middle of everything, parking is surprisingly manageable with plenty of street spots and nearby garages. Their cocktails are consistently excellent, but the standout for me is the Gentleman's Buck. It's perfectly balanced, refreshing, and endlessly drinkable. I still wish they'd bring it back onto the happy hour menu! The staff makes the experience even better. Sam and Joshua are fantastic bartenders - friendly, welcoming, and genuinely great at what they do. They make the bar feel like a place you want to return to again and again. And if you're a whiskey fan, their Whiskey Wednesday events are always a blast. You can learn something new, try something interesting, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. Seven Grand delivers on all fronts: great drinks, great people, and a great location. Highly recommended!
