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.

    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.

    Review for The Brown Palace Tea Time I used to love coming to The Brown Palace and truly want to love their teatime experience. The ambiance and historic charm of the building are undeniable, but the food, service, and overall value fall far short. Having experienced exceptional teatimes in London and Chicago (The Drake), living in both those cities, this doesn’t compare. What’s even more frustrating is the valet service and front desk experience. With no parking validation, you’re stuck paying $32 for an hour—on top of an already premium-priced experience that doesn’t deliver. I’m happy to pay top dollar for a great teatime, but sadly, this isn’t it. I hope they can improve, as the setting deserves so much better.

    Enjoyed “afternoon teas” over the Holidays at the Plaza in NYC, Baccarat Hotel in NYC and today at the Brown Palace. All were enjoyable. The food at Brown was excellent with good service and ambience.
