Vesper Lounge

Cuisine: Mediterranean
Neighborhood: Central Denver

233 E. 7th Ave. Denver, CO 80203

720-328-0314

In the fall of 2012, restaurateur Frank Bonanno took over one of the town’s most notorious watering holes: the Lancer Lounge, located right between Mizuna, the flagship of Bonanno Concepts, and the current location of Salita. At the Vesper, there’s no fuss over housemade bitters, no two-hour wait, no specially chipped ice — just reasonably priced drinks and some very good snacks with a Middle Eastern flavor. Not to mention good company: This may not be the Lancer, but it’s definitely proven to be a solid neighborhood bar.
