The Cruise Room

Tbh, I think my favorite part about this place is all the red. Put on a red outfit, order a vermouth cocktail (it was indeed fresh vermouth, don't you worry), and enjoy.

The atmosphere of this place was incredible and so were the drinks! we felt like we had just walked into the Great Gatsby movie and even the server played the part. I ordered the Gimlet and the Brunswick Sour (my favorite of the two). This cocktail bar is also in the shape of a wine bottle which is pretty cool.

Swanky cocktail bar in The Oxford hotel. Dimly lit room (that's actually shaped like a wine bottle) with plush velvet and leather booths. Cool for a date night cocktail. Photo courtesy of The Oxford hotel.

The Cruise Room

Denver’s first bar post prohibition— pretty cool to visit and grab a drink.

The Cruise Room

Located in The Oxford Hotel (Denver’s oldest), this swanky Bar was opened ONE DAY after the repeal of prohibition in 1933. I actually checked it out during a “haunted” bar crawl in Denver and this was one of my fave stops! Very jazzy and upscale feel with vintage Art Deco design. Fun fact: The actual bar room itself is designed in the shape of a wine bottle! Look up and you’ll be able to trace it with your eyes. Bartenders are friendly and helpful with whatever taste you’re into.
