Cruise Room

Cool bar! Nice selection of classic and original cocktails. Tried the beet farmer drink which had a really nice rosemary smell and cocktail. The beet powder gave the drink a somewhat strange texture but it was ok. We also had the potatoes and meatballs. Both were good and I think fairly priced. Service was also good. Would definitely recommend.

This is a cool Denver experience. You will totally miss this bar unless you know about it. You have to enter the Oxford Hotel then immediately turn left - there is a door to enter. The space is very dark and intimate. The red lighting adds a special glow and ambience that can take you back in time. There is a beautiful cocktail menu. I enjoyed the French 75. The space is very small and they do not take reservations. I highly recommend that you are prepared to stand, come very early, or at "odd times" to have a seat. This is an experience for small group - 2 is perfect but no more than 4. I have been wanting to come here for over a year. Happy I finally got to experience it!

The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that we were unsure if we were supposed to seat ourselves or if the host or server was going to tell us to do something. We stood around for a while at the entrance and the servers/hosts were just having a conversation and didn't acknowledge us until my friend went over and asked if we could just seat ourselves. The answer is yes, just sit anywhere you like.Other than that, the vibe is really cool (if you like red lights, at least) and the drinks were great.

No complaints here. We were immediately greeted once sat and drink orders came out quickly. Entire area had red lighting.

All the cocktails were delicious and we really appreciated the different selection that the menu offered! Hard to find using directions from Yelp, but I'm sure that was user error more than anything. Loved the red lighting as it made for a relaxing and chill vibe while there.

VIBES. We stumbled upon the Cruise Room and thought it was one of the coolest cocktail bars we've been to. I love how it has the art deco feel from decades ago- it really puts you back in time. Cocktails were also great! Will be back.

The ambiance is perfection. If you're looking for a classy and elegant spot for a divine cocktail, this is it. Lovely people work here, always pristine service.

Somehow I hadn't made it around to the cruise room despite it being a staple in Denver and having so much history! This is a quasi-speakeasy, giving vibes of prohibition but without the full hidden door concept. You walk in and the ambience of red everywhere hits you. It's fun, but hard to see inside! The cocktail list is pretty extensive and I opted for something creamy on a chilly, wet evening. The presentation was so beautiful! Even with the red lights, it made such an impression. We ordered some potatoes which came with this amazing sauce- we had to ask for seconds on the sauce and our server happily obliged. I wish the menu was a little more extensive and priced more reasonable but for such an institution, I get it. I'd say go to dinner nearby and come here for a snack/ drink instead of having the whole evening here.

The hubs and I stayed at the Oxford and one of the perks is being able to get a cocktail from the Cruise Room and then savoring the cocktail from our room when the place was packed with no available seating. The Sazaracs were among the best we've had and showed the level of craft from the bar.

This place...this place is a VIBE. Didn't know what to expect when we were headed here but boy was it a surprise. It's a bar located next to the lobby of The Oxford hotel. This ambiance of this place sets you back to the early 1900's and it was around at that time as well. The lighting, decor and attire all scream 20's. We ended up sitting at the bar and had some fantastic service.I ordered the Sidecar and it was as perfect as a side car can be. No variation, sometimes you just want a classic. The service was also 10/10. As a side note, the hotel is gorgeous and I will look into staying here at least one night next time I'm in town. Also their Christmas decoration is on point. Highly recommend a trip here.
