"Union Lodge is a barroom through and through—snug and simply decorated, with wood floors and wood furnishings, a black banquette near the window, and a few flickering candles. The American flag on the old brick wall dates back to the late 19th century—sometime after Colorado joined the Union and before the Dakotas did—and this downtown lair honors that history with its focus on pre-Prohibition cocktails—juleps, knickerbockers and cobblers. And do not miss an opportunity to order a gin fizz." - Ruth Tobias
