It took 5 years but the results show it was worth it. This closed down in 2020 and never reopened post pandemic. We’ve been to the Broadmoor many years and enjoyed The Penrose Room before with its views of the sunsetting behind the mountains. It was the old country club look and feel with a dance floor where Lawrence Well and his band with a bubble machine would not have been out of place.
NOT anymore! The redesign is beautiful. Just perfect. Brought up to date for current styles, a great lounge to have drinks and appetizers and take in the view from corner windows. The bar is inviting to sit at with a friend and see the mountains through the bottles on glass shelves. Or sit at one of the coffee table style seating in front of the fire place. It’s cozy, hip, and yet has spacious areas.
The menu – commendations to the executive chef. Very tasty selection of appetizers along with sushi. Our Penrose sushi roll was one of the most flavorful I have ever had. (And we eat sushi every week).
We didn’t have any entrees but it looked really good from beef Wellington for two to Colorado lamb or seafood. Caesar salad is made table side. Again, the best tasting I have every and.
Finally, don’t miss the cart martini or old
Fashioned. Ot only a fun presentation but the bartender will offer choices of every ingredient and explain the differences.
Dinner jackets are required for men (I personally like this touch) it don’t pass on going – they have jackets of all sizes to loan you.
If you aren’t sure about dinner jackets- you gotta go for at least a drink and the view at sunset.
This is THE best place to dine or sip a drink at the Broadmoor now. Hands down.
Great job Broadmoor!
