  The chocolate pudding with seasonings on top was amazing. Love the art deco decor as my primary reason for going.

  Small bar at the entrance of the Oxford Hotel. Drinks were great - we got The Guillotine and the Silk Punch - and the history behind the place and decor are very interesting. Service was a bit slow.

  If you have an event down town and want a hidden gem go here. Really for 2 ppl as space is limited but the decor is incredible- you feel totally transported out of Denver and into an intimate and cool cool vibe. More for 30-70 yro age group

  This place has a storied history (the thing about Germany and Italy is almost enough to make it worth it, even if the traces of those parts of the story are long gone). It is also in a storied hotel (check out those imposing urinals in the basement bathroom). And it exits onto a street with a picture-perfect view of the train station. What’s not to like? Nothing, really. The interior is a red-colored ode to the Art Deco era in which it was created. The vibe is chill, even if I suppose it could get quite loud later in the evening. On the night we visited, right as it opened at 5:00pm on a Friday, there were just five of us and another couple. By the time we left, there were three more tables. The jukebox was playing a nicely eclectic range of songs at a reasonable level. Talking at our table was easy. Reading our metal-plated (stamped with a martini glass design no less) was fairly easy in the low, and atmospheric, lighting. And that lighting enhanced all the Art Deco flourishes, including the deep recesses, its wine-inspired shape, and those famous murals. The drinks—cocktails, of course—were well made. The service was also pleasant, if a bit pinched. Now, I get it. I have a face made for radio. And I have also worked in customer service. So, if she was having a bad day and just trying to look happy, cool. And, if that is just how she is, also cool. But it sorta’ felt odd. That said, there was nothing wrong with the drinks. And, pinched or not, she got a good tip because she provided good service. Simple. All in all, a unique part of Denver history that deserves a visit. Recommended. ============================================= NEGATIVE REVIEW ROUND-UP: Okay, time to do another rough of “Google Review Math.” Tamara, a 4/5 and 4/5 base rating doesn’t equal 3/5. Josh, you need to join Tamara and add your ratings up again or at least adjust them. Now, let’s go to the “My Reviews are about Myself” category. Kit, why are you bringing a 10-year-old to a bar?!?! That is a review of you, not the bar. Stan, thank goodness you left two years ago and never came back. A good review makes sense. And Ricky, you can’t read. That makes sense. No, really. It does. And, finally, N. J. You leave a 5-star review with a 3-star rating. It also totally makes sense. Seriously, N. J. You go! These all range from relatively new to somewhat old. But they give you a flavor of what a place like this must deal with on a day-to-day basis. When you feed on nostalgia and cater to whoever walks in the door, you are going to get whatever sort of review drags its knuckles against Google’s door. That’s life. ============================================= Googles, stop having a food ranking for a bar, or at least add a bar ranking in addition to food. Come on!!!
