One of the best things about The Lobby is their patio. It's pretty nice, fairly large, and you can still take advantage of the happy hour prices while soaking up some rays. The Lobby is located just a few blocks North of Coors Field, so its a great location and it's fairly easy to find street parking (unless you dine during a Rockies game). The restaurant is perfect for my taste... it's very nice, but not too upscale that you need to worry about how you're dressed. It really has a casual vibe, while still offering a menu to satisfy your inner foodie. To top it off, they offer a great draft beer selection.

Drinks:
Like I said, they have a great beer selection. They even offer those 2.5 Liter towers that are becoming more and more popular around town. I have yet to order one, but I'm told they pump out around six beers. Twenty bucks for six micros is a pretty darn good deal. Being on the patio put me in the mood for a margarita. To be honest their margs are really not that great, average at best, I quickly switched over to beer. I think in the future I'll stick to ordering margaritas at Mexican restaurants.

Food:
In general, the lobby has a pretty nice little menu. Lots of variety, from seafood to burgers. The chef puts a unique touch on many of the food items (check out their stuffed burgers) to give your taste buds a far from typical dining experience. Off the happy hour menu I sampled the Ahi Sliders, Burger Sliders, Calamari and the Chips and Guac. Of everything I tried, I would definitely recommend either of the slider options. You get three large sliders that come with plenty of toppings on a nice roll. The sliders equal up to be about the size of your typical burger or sandwich, so it's a good value for five dollars. Both the beef and the ahi are delicious, go with a friend so you can mix and match! The calamari is just alright, I like my calamari on the crispy side and these came out a bit soggier... but all in all it was pretty good and I'd give them another try. Chips and guac was pretty average, not too exciting. I wasn't a big fan of the chips they used, but they got the job done.

Definitely give this happy hour a try. Take some friends, sit on the patio and enjoy the afternoon with great food and drinks. If you have a lot of friends you can even reserve the downstairs area for an event.
