Afternoon Tea, a decades-long tradition at The Brown Palace, is set amid the historic grandeur of the Atrium Lobby serenaded by a melodic piano. Guests enjoy a pot of properly brewed English tea accompanied by scones served with Devonshire cream and preserves, savory tea sandwiches, and a delightful array of classic tea pastries.

Atrium Cocktails are open Tuesday through Saturday evenings. Sip on classic cocktails, wine, or a refreshing pint with charcuterie and other inventive dishes. Live music by The John Kite Jazz Quartet will complete an unforgettable and lively experience.

    We LOVE lobby cocktails in the Brown Palace Atrium on Fridays and Saturdays with the John Kite Quartet. The music is divine, the staff is great and for those who might dance a bit, there is room around the lobby. Keep up the great work with live jazz and John Kite's wonderful playing.

    Perfect beyond description. I was in awe from the beginning of the meal to the end. The food was fantastic, the live music perfect, and the waiters excellent. I didn't have even the most minor issue.
