Emerald Eye

Emerald Eye

It could be easy to miss this subterranean cocktail lounge when visiting busy Larimer Square; its door decal gives away no secrets, but the words “cocktail lounge” can be seen in the transom window above, along with a neon sign shaped like a Monstera leaf. Upon entering, guests descend a stairwell decorated with globe pendant lights and glossy, emerald-green subway tile before the space opens up to reveal tropical vibes matched by a menu of rum- and agave spirit-forward concoctions that evoke the Caribbean circa 1955.
