Step back in time, to about the 1930s or so, in the pink-hued art deco Cruise Room on the 1st floor of the historic Oxford Hotel [2] in LoDo. It’s hard to get up and leave the Cruise Room once you’ve settled into one of their cushy booths and ordered a few of their fabulous martinis from the excellent bartenders.

The Cruise Room, which opened the day after Prohibition ended in 1933, is modeled after a cruise ship lounge on the Queen Mary. Great for a romantic date night or just a casual night out for drinks with friends.
