Monroe's Lounge

Reviews & Tips

  We like to dabble in sophistication, but when someone suggested we head over to Monroe's Lounge, in the Best Western Hotel we shuddered! Best Western has a bar? Or better yet- a lounge? But being professionals (and thirsty), we went for it one Saturday night and the place was packed! We quickly realized our notions were way off base and settled in for a great time.
  
  Atmosphere: The lighting in Monroe's is dim and inviting, with candles lit on every table, on shelves, as well as above the bar. When walking in we were impressed with the large half circle bar that creates a focal point. The lounge is small but cozy and still provides plenty of seating throughout.  The crowd was mixed with out-of-towners who were staying at the hotel, a handful of locals and a few hardcore drinkers from a wedding party, but all age groups included.
  
  Service:  Service was great considering the place was packed and there were two servers and a bartender. The staff definitely went out of their way to make sure everyone was well taken care of.
  
  Drinks: The bar is fully stocked and has a well-rounded selection of micros and domestics. The wine list was a nice compliment to the drink menu, which featured some classic drinks, as well as some originals. If you do go for their happy hour, they offer two for one drinks on beer, wine and cocktails.
  
  Food: Monroe's menu is impressive and reasonably priced.  We enjoyed the chipotle chicken sandwich and the black and bleu burger during our visit and both were served on tasty brioche buns.

  Stopped here after a long drive From Jackson, WY, stayed at the Hotel very centrally located at I-25 and US 34. Was very tired and hungry and did not feel like searching Yelp for a place that would deliver food to hotel. The desk clerk suggested Monroe's, the place had plenty of seating with a good crowd. They had live music by a local singer very nice relaxing music. We were greeted by waitress Dana, with a warm welcome and a very friendly smile. This made the whole day a lot better. We had Fish and chips with there homemade kettle chips and a french dip sandwich with a bottle of wine. The prices were very cheep and the food was very good. For a busy Saturday night a job well done.

  Nice laid back crowd and one of the better bartenders in the area describe this place.
  
  Conveniently close to the I-25 at US 34 this is a nice friendly low-key and modern lounge. Fridays @ 8 are karakoe until 12ish.
  
  I really like this place and I was made to feel at home. A solid 4.
