Afternoon Tea & Atrium Cocktails

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 on Friday & Saturday evenings, from 4:30 to 7:30 pm and select nights throughout the week. 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.

For parties of 8 or more guests, please contact us directly (303) 312-8900

    This is my third time this season to have tea at the Brown Palace. The first two times were lovely. This time the sandwiches were stale and the service was truly awful. Someone stopped by our table to offer us a second plate of sandwiches and then never brought them. Our waiter never came by our table at all after he dropped our food off until he delivered the check. I have never had service or food like this at the Brown. We left and ate elsewhere.

    The bread was stale, hard from being in the refrigerator. It was VERY noisy, the biscuits were hard. The service was pretty good, the servers were nice. The bathroom smelled bad. The experience is always nice but the food is definitely mediocre for the price.

    Scones, sweets, and tea were great as always. Service is hot and miss. Some people are super attentive, others make you feel like you're bothering them. A beautiful event, regardless.
