About

Tucked away inside the historic Oxford Hotel at 1600 17th St in Denver, The Cruise Room offers a distinct escape into the past. This lounge bar is widely recognized for its striking Art Deco aesthetic, characterized by its signature red lighting and streamlined, vintage design. Since its inception in 1933, the space has maintained a reputation as a classic, moody destination that feels like a hidden speakeasy, making it a popular choice for those seeking a sophisticated atmosphere for a date night or a late-night drink. The establishment maintains a 4.6/5 rating based on over 300 reviews, with many patrons highlighting the skill of the bartenders in crafting both classic cocktails and creative, modern concoctions. While the ambiance and drink quality are frequently praised, the guest experience can vary significantly depending on the service. The bar is well-suited for smaller groups looking to enjoy a curated menu in an intimate setting, though visitors should be prepared for a popular, bustling environment. Whether guests are drawn by the unique historical decor or the appeal of a well-mixed martini, The Cruise Room remains a fixture of the local cocktail scene.
