    Cocktail/HH Menu
    Edie A.

    Vesper Lounge is a busy bar in the Capitol Hill area. We stopped in for one of their many cocktails on tap during their popular happy hour that runs Tue-Fri 4-6pm, S/S 2-6pm, and all day Monday. I had to get the namesake cocktail--the Vesper. Made infamous by James Bond, the cocktail was a mix of London Dry Gin, Skyy Vodka, & Lillet Blanc infused with lemon peel and grains of paradise. Normally $11, this is $8 at HH. My cocktail looked like the lemon rind was a lightning bolt with the illusion of the glass and was fitting for this small but mighty drink that packs a punch!

    After an evening ghost tour, we found this place for some late night eats. I am so glad we found this joint! There is outdoor seating, bar seating, and a dining area. Bathroom was clean - surprising for late night, but it was a weekday so ... The service was a bit slow but super friendly folks! We ordered: Aperol spritz - bright and refreshing! Cheese curds - didn't get it but it wasn't on our bill either and didn't mention it because our pita sandwiches arrived to the table, so no need for the pre-snack Gyro - great flavor! Pita was soft and the meat had a wonderful spice. Spicy chicken pita - supper yummy! My son devoured it in three bites! Fries - hot and fresh. We enjoyed everything and would come back.

    Vesper Lounge is a fun little spot for dinner. A lot of outdoor seating. The inside is very dark. The food was all delicious but took a very long time to come out.

    Tasty, inexpensive food (particularly during happy hour) and lots of seating (inside and out) with amazingly attentive and responsive service. It felt a little like a college bar populated entirely by older folks who didn't realize they weren't still in college. The drinks were good, especially for the happy hour prices. Totally worth a stop - not in any way fancy, but clearly run very well.

    Great neighborhood spot. Yummy food. Friendly staff. Make their own sodas and have a killer drink menu. Good beers on tap.

    Pretty good food, and they have Utica Club cans. I like how they didn't drastically change the interior from the Lancer Lounge.

    Latchkey is perfect for many vibes depending on the day! It's in walking distance from me so it's a…read morenice spot we go for a quick drink. I see they just added a cute hanging side on the front, so it's easier to locate. Their interior is divided by the huge rectangular bar in the middle. It gives space to both sides. There are TVs all around. There is also an outdoor patio that is perfect for warmer nights. I've been a handful of times and was able to experience it busy and slow! The first time we went is for an event after a Billy Strings concert, and the place was packed. Even then, the drinks came pretty fast. On the slower times, I was able to order their craftier cocktails. Their cocktails are decent. The major upside of this place is the prices! I find them to be on the cheaper side of Denver drinks. Latchkey has quickly become a go-to of mine and can't wait to see them grow more!

There are so many activities you can participate in - pool, darts, a "fun" vending machine that does not disperse food or drink, watch sports, photo booth, hang outside on their patio, hang inside at the numerous tables and chairs, or hang out at the bar with the bartenders - there is so much to do! You can bring your own food in as well. It is set up for large groups! Service was great, tables were clean as was the bathroom. It's a fun place to be, especially on a Saturday night!

    Four of us went here for dinner. Overall, pretty amazing. A couple of us had the citrusy…read moremocktail which probably the best mocktail I've ever tasted. Two others had a couple of the special cocktails on the menu and loved them. We decided to order six appetizers, two main courses, and two desserts. We split everything four ways so it ended up like a nine course tasting menu experience. Who knew cabbage could be so good? Haha!!! Standout dishes were the qual, clams, borscht, warm salad and the desserts. The place is small so reservations advised. Wait staff and cooks are friendly. Aside - one person in our party wasn't enthused about Eastern European cuisine and was a convert by the end. If you enjoy well-prepared, delicious food full of taste, check out Molotov. There is a reason this was rated one of the top restaurants in the US a few years ago.

    Number ONE is Sean; our waiter. He was so excited that we were excited about our first time at the…read morerestaurant. He gave us recommendations and was proud of how much food we ordered between two asian women. The affirmation paired well with the food. Our favorite was the Clambasa. I was worried the kielbasa would overpower the littleneck clams but it was perfect together. You can taste all the ingredients in the dish well. The bone marrow was gone before I could take a picture---rightfully so. But the horseradish mustard blew my mind. The ONLY reason I'm not raving anout the Shuba salad is because a good friend of mine makes it so much better. No skin off of Molotov's back at all, homemade at custom to me will always win. The quail was a disappointing. I didn't notice that the sauce was listed as BBQ. I could not taste the quail. By the time the Porchetta came, we were readilly full...but that didn't matter. Crisp, fatty and flavorful. I recommend the horseradish horilka for all the dishes. Lastly, the pistachio blintz. "Not too sweet," is the Asian's highest praise to any dessert and this deserves it. LOVELY and light. A perfect end to a rich and savory dinner. And no, do not pair this with the horseradish horlike (just in case you were wondering). For this visit, my sister and I decided to sit in the patio area and sit under their local resident regular, the squirell in the tree (his name is Vlad, but his street name is Chad). But next time, I would op to sit inside. It is very cozy with PLENTY of things for your eyes to scrutinize. The first visit was not enough to take everything in, both visually and gastricly (no more room left). A repeat visit is warranted and highly recommended.
