Slip into Denver’s longest-running bar for a martini in a narrow, wine-bottle-shaped Art Deco room inside the Oxford Hotel.

Why it’s worth doing
The Cruise Room opened just after Prohibition ended in 1933 and still feels transportive rather than themed. It is a compact, historic drink stop with small plates, weekday happy hour, and no reservations.
- A genuinely historic Denver room
- Easy before or after a Union Station plan
- Walk-in policy keeps it useful for an improvised night
