    The Espresso Martini
    Erin S.

    Formerly Skybar, Traveling Mercies is a quaint little place in the top corner of Stanley Marketplace. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This bar is small and offers 28 seats total - most are bar stools with the exception of the 3, four top tables that are in the middle of the bar.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] TM offers an expansive menu with lots of fun concoctions of cocktails. I went with the Espresso Martini as it was on Happy Hour. (Happy Hour differ from day to day) It was a well executed Espresso Martini. TM also has a few little dishes to select from. They tout their oysters here as the actual name is Traveling Mercies Oyster and Cocktail Bar. The oysters did look good, but we ended up splitting marinated olives - divine! While a little on the pricey side as most cocktails are in Denver, it is worth the money. Service is friendly and helpful. TM did make Westword's 100 Bars for the 24-25 year and it definitely deserves a spot on this list!

    On the third floor of the Stanley market you can find Traveling Mercies close to Cheluna Brewing. We were checking out the Stanley Market for the first time and happened to stumble into Traveling Mercies on its opening night! We just got drinks and tried the long but distinguished and talk to me goose! The long but distinguished tasted like a sparkling sangria. I really liked it but not what I thought it would taste like. The talk to me goose was also great! We did not order any food because we were not feeling seafood or any of the other foods on the menu. The staff helping us were great. Very helpful with any questions we had. Overall a very nice, upscale place for cocktails. Tip: 20% service fee automatically added to the menu. The staff let us know about it when giving us the check which we appreciated.

    Passport daiquiris!

    Stopped in for a passport drink and loved it! Wife and I both had daiquiris and split the anchovy cheese straws. Highly recommend.

    I had seen a small news piece about this restaurant's oysters and decided to come in on a whim. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I was immediately in love with the restaurant's interior and dreamy vibe. It is a very cozy space with a carefully crafted blend of luxury and nautical moments showered in sunlight.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The best parts of the service also showed a lot of intent and care for the dinners' experience. The food and cocktails were amazing. Everything was fresh, simple, and elevated. The tables were small yet staff were quick to remove plates and serve the next dish in succession. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ate comfortably at our own pace, enjoyed the music, and too much alcohol.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Happy Hours Menu

    Traveling Mercies made Esquire Magazine's cut of the 42 Best Bars in America so I had to try it. On the third level of Stanley Marketplace, follow the signs to the elevator or staircase that leads you to this small but intimate space. There are seating options at the bar, 3 tables, or bar stools overlooking Lowry. Service is friendly. They have happy hour from 4-5pm W-Sunday, and all day Tuesday (they are closed Monday). I didn't try the food which looked good but did sample a couple of their cocktails - their espresso martini and Mercies Penicillin. The espresso martini was equal parts sweet and caffeinated. Definitely opt for their rec of spiced rum over vodka. The Mercies Penicillin was a masterful blend of scotch, lemon, honey, and ginger. (Went down way easier than the thick pink stuff I had to drink as a kid when I was sick.) Definitely stop by for some fine cocktails.

    Superb service. Vibrant Vibe. Gorgeous View. Delicious nibbles. Delightful cocktails. Oysters are on point. It's possibly the best I've had while nowhere near an ocean. It's the only place on the 3rd floor of the Stanley. I felt like I was in a speakeasy except up top instead of down below.

    Perfect little escape with beautifully crafted cocktails and East coast oysters.  The oeuf tonnato is sublime, don't miss it.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful spot for an intimate drink![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great ambience for a romantic date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Chef kiss to the menu.

    Mussels Escabeche Toast. Amazing!!!!!
    Morgan C.

    What a cute little hidden gem!! This is our new go to spot for an appetizer and drinks. The views from this place are awesome! We love sitting at the bar and people watching or enjoying the sunset. My husband has gotten the espresso martini twice and said it's the best one he's ever had. My cocktails every time are absolute perfection. Highly recommend the daiquiri and Kill Your Darlings if you like light refreshing cocktails. You MUST get the mussel toast! It is bursting with flavor, I've never had anything like it. The servers are so kind, another reason why we love coming here. Will definitely be back!!

You can tell there's real attention to detail in every dish, and nothing felt overly complicated just for the sake of it. We shared the burger (honestly one of the best we've had), the panzanella salad, and deviled eggs - all impressive. Drinks were excellent - the mezcal negroni, stockyard pony, and house spritz. We ended with the pecan tart and espresso martini. It was just the two of us and we were stuffed when we left. They sat us in their outdoor space and it was so, so nice. We LOVED it. Definitely a place we'll keep coming back to.

    First time here, service was great and attentive. Ambiance can be intimate or family style outing…read more The foods are meant to be shared so thats a nice communal aspect. Cons for this paragraph is the wait for the food is ridiculous. Why 45 min at least for any dishes. If you're ordering multiple. They're not coming out all at once. The appetizer orecchiette we got was tasty in regard to the texture. Nicely al dente. But it was extremely salted and extremely sour. Unsure of what flavor profile they want to have. Our server recommended the roasted chicken to be the most seasoned dish. I'm not sure whatever they marinated actually puncture the meat. It was cook well but virtually no flavor. Not any difference if you just boil chicken breast by itself. Everything was really pricey for no reason. Sure it was a good size? But if you compare it to restaurants located in downtown, a similar dish is at least 8-10$ cheaper. $14 for a basket of shoes string fries, $41 for roasted chicken and $43 for steak? On par with coors field at least. My assumption is that any new coming restaurants at the Stanley market is just a test run with a safety net to see if the restaurant actually performs well if it was a stand alone business.

They also had their AC blasting which helped cool us off from the heat outside. Our server was great and quickly took our order and received waters. Our appetizer came out pretty quickly and I do want to call out that the guac looked like it was sitting out for some time. Once our 3rd person arrived, we ordered our food and drinks. Drinks came out pretty quickly. The elderflower prickly pear drink was stellar and pretty strong! I would definitely come back just for that drink! Food tasted great! Tacos were seasoned well. I do wish they had spicier salsa options but that's just my preference. I also think the tacos should be doubled up with tortillas because they started falling apart and made it difficult to eat. I ended up just eating the inside of the tacos and left the tortilla. Overall though, nothing bad that would deter me from visiting again. It was a good experience! I would definitely return.

    CAUTION: manager punishes customers for complaining about an ill-conceived, poorly executed seating…read morepolicy. I was a first-timer with five other fun, chill ladies 50+ on Cinco de Mayo. Three of us had driven from significant distances. Two were late, due to crazy snow. Our friend had made reservations for the high-top table IN THE BAR AREA. Upon arrival, the hostess DID mention to our organizer that the table was ours until 6. That sounded odd, but certainly they wouldn't expect us to leave if we're still eating and drinking, right? We were having a great time, and being gracious despite a few issues, like my friend getting a strangely colored margarita that tasted bad -- unlike her first, or any of the others in the entire restaurant. She explained and asked for it to be remade. Another girl brings it back again, making her re-explain. She begrudgingly took it back and replaced it. At 5:40, as people started bugging out, our snow-delayed friend arrived and our waitress took her food order, along with another friend's order for a pitcher of beer. They arrived quickly. At 5:50, we got a visit from manager Alex, asking us to wrap things up and leave. We were confused, and asked why this was necessary, since we were in the BAR section, had just been served food and beer, and people were leaving. Alex was not amenable to applying practicality to the situation. My friend who'd just been served her pitcher of beer asked which option she was supposed to exercise...pay for and leave her full pitcher, or slam it and then drive home to Boulder. Alex didn't like that, and reluctantly offered to comp the quesadilla and beer -- like it was some grand gesture. As we gathered our things, more customers left, leaving four seats open around the actual bar. EUREKA! We didn't have to leave! My friend and I sat in two, and two others sat across from us. We knew we'd find one more, and we did. Cool, right? Nope. Alex confronts me and says, I noticed you guys moved to the bar. (I thought I was being punked.) So I reply, "Yes, is there a problem with us taking available seats after having to leave our table?" He says something about us being rude. To which I said, "I'm not being rude. If you're referring to us talking amongst each other about how this situation was handled, we have the right to speak." He then informed us he was cutting us off. I wasn't one of the ones comped, and we weren't drunk. He just didn't like that we pushed back. He left, and seconds later, the drink I'd ordered before this "chat" was placed in front of me. When Alex saw it, he pulled bartender Hunter aside and had words with him. Which made matters worse, because Hunter is so kind, and he knew we were cool. Anyway, I happily sipped my drink, and we started watching the Avs. We weren't obnoxious, but it was loud, and since we were seated across the bar from each other, we needed to shout a bit. Around this time, we noticed the table we'd been forced to vacate was STILL EMPTY -- 20 minutes after being booted from it. The table right next to it? Also empty. A few minutes later, we noticed he'd moved some girls who'd been at the bar since our arrival TO OUR TABLE. Obviously to make it look like the party that wanted it had shown up. So I took a pic of that with my phone. And a video of how many seats and tables were open. Nobody knew what I was doing, or cared, except Alex, who'd been spying on us. He comes back AGAIN, suddenly claiming our "BEHAVIOR" is a problem. Despite us trying to reason with him about what this experience was like for us as customers, he tells us to leave. I have been kicked out of two bars in my life. Once justifiably at age 22, and again on this day, age 60. All because of a manager on a power trip. We ended up going to Mezcal four miles away where the food and the service were exemplary, and we were welcomed! Lady Nomada? Lady, No-thank-you. You can't defend a policy like that, take a food and drink order right before the time limit, take our table and then harass us for not liking it. There are too many cantinas out there to treat people this way.

It's a really solid neighborhood place with a good happy hour and fun daily specials (like Wednesday wine night). The atmosphere can also surprise you in the best way -- when the piano player is there, it adds a really nice touch and makes it a surprisingly romantic date spot. Food-wise, the chicken fingers are some of the best I've had. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked just right. The thin fries are amazing too -- the kind you keep eating long after you're full. The gravy and honey mustard are perfect pairings with the chicken and fries. The BBQ sauce, though, I could personally do without. Overall, a great neighborhood spot with good food, good specials, and a fun atmosphere.
