Great little cafe inside the meridian little pricey but it’s in a high end hotel so that is to be expected the gentleman that waited on me was very engaging and friendly spoke about an array of things he was quick and efficient in preparing my order they don’t open til 6am and if you want any liquor in your coffee they don’t do that here either great ambiance to sit and indulge in your experience in the lobby of the le meridian

On Saturday August 28th around 5pm we came and sat at this bar for a pre cocktail while we waited to go up to the roof top bar. The roof top bar was amazing! Chelsea our server up there was attentive and awesome. Visiting from Las Vegas everyone here is super friendly! Yet this review is ONLY FOR the Lobbyist bar on the first floor. Didn't catch the bartenders name at the lobbyist bar. Blonde girl. Rude as hell!!! Literally we sat down said hi! And she goes what do you want. Starts shaking the drinks as loud as she can. people behind us she told "go over to the service well if you want a drink" with an eye roll. No joke, every customer here was totally off put by her attitude. I would never recommend her being your bartender: if you hate your job, why stay? Like seriously, you were the worst service person we had in downtown Denver. Everything else about this hotel/bar/roof top was great. She made a good drink, but her attitude made it taste like crap.

Nice lobby area with a bar. Drink: Springtime Spritz (gin, giffard abricot,strawberry, bubbles) it was just ok. Would have gone with a different drink.

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!

Very nice bar in the lobby of the Le Meridien Denver Downtown. We had a couple libations while waiting for our other guests to join us for New Year's Eve get together.Morgan was our mixologist and very chatty and informative. We had a nice time!

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

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 hairs - seriously. When we paid at the bar (no one checked on tables while we were seated), we mentioned it to those taking our money and they apologized but had to call a hotel manager to do anything about it. We paid the $95 bill (that's was the price of our meal with only waters) and thought others might appreciate knowing before they have a similar experience.

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.

Expensive. I wish they opened earlier for coffee. Although, I did enjoy a freshly made dark roast coffee. Service was kind and accommodating. Earlier open time and friendlier pricing would earn more stars.

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!

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.

I am rating this one star solely based on the Butcher Block charcuterie board. The prosciutto was "not fresh", to be generous, and they attempted to make up for it with soggy bread. I seriously have no words. Like just tell me that the item is unavailable.To be fair, the bartender was generous with her pour and the wagyu burger was excellent. But someone should get seriously jacked up for serving the charcuterie.

Staff is always nice even when they have a full house. Looking forward to returning with my relatives. The bill was good for what you get. Food is like a place in Baltimore I liked.

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.

Terrible customer service. This bar is apart of the hotel I'm currently staying at, le Méridien & for the 3 days I've been staying here I've come down every morning for a latte, and not once was I greeted. Wasn't very busy but took the server 5 minutes to ask what I wanted. When I asked for some creamer the server look at me and rolled her eyes like it was such an inconvenience. Love the hotel but management needs to seriously get this figured out
