Traveling Mercies

Formerly Skybar, Traveling Mercies is a quaint little place in the top corner of Stanley Marketplace. 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. 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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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!!

A true hidden gem! The ambiance and vibe when walking in sets the experience off on a great note. The friendly and knowledgeable staff make it all the better. Great craft cocktails and app pairings, as well as amazing oysters! Zach, Cooper, and Nella are great people, and the food and drinks they provide are top notch. Wonderful place. Mathew

Best cocktails in Central Park. It is head and shoulders above the Dirty Laundry in quality, ambiance and clientele. The cocktails are fresh and never out of a tap.

Cute little bar on the third floor of Stanley marketplace. They only serve appetizer size dishes, so it's perfect for a pre dinner cocktail and appetizer. Cute cozy space with interesting cocktails. Service was great and they have a decent happy hour too.

Super cozy and intimate vibe with a nice rooftop view. Went on a Tuesday night and got the oyster special ($3/each) and they were amazing. Great cocktails and non alcoholic options as well. Service was excellent, definitely will be returning!
