The Hotel Bar Menu
In 1920, Broadmoor founder Spencer Penrose invited 60 prominent hoteliers and their associates from across the country to The Broadmoor for an all-expense paid vacation in order to introduce his new venture. This assembly, which later came to be known as the “Hundred Million Dollar Hotel Group,” whimsically indicated their estimated net worth at the time. Penrose hired private train cars to bring the group from New York as part of a two week celebration. As this was the height of Prohibi- tion, in his invitation Pen- rose advised his guests to bring “five bottles of your favorite cologne,” a euphemism for their best illegal alcohol. In addition, Penrose also engaged a U.S. Marshall to guard a flat bed car containing what he referred to as his “gasoline.”
Once his guests arrived at the hotel, the men enjoyed nightly entertainment; they drove cars up what is now the Pikes Peak Highway. Games of polo and rounds of golf were part of the entertainment, and there was even a biplane race to Denver and back.
Impressed by Penrose’s largess, when the contingent returned to New York, they awarded their host with a plaque that dubbed him “A Bon Vivant of Rare Accomplishment and The Prince of Entertainers.” The story of the trip, and the group that later became the “Tavern Club” which still exists today, is told through the photos and murals of The Hotel Bar depicting their escapades.
The mural on the wall closest to the bar represents the group’s arrival by train; the second mural to the left as you walk towards the seating area and the patio chronicles their adventures. The mural to the right as you face the lake portrays the official meeting of the Tavern Club in New York in 1921 and contains the likeness of some of the group’s original members, along with people prominent in the hotel’s development today.
The original bar to the hotel was known to guests as the Bar and Fountain Terrace. It opened in 1936 at the official end of Prohibition. It was enlarged in 1961 and renamed the Lake Terrace Cocktail Lounge.
In 2002, with the restoration and expansion of the original Broadmoor Main building, the bar was again expanded into what you see today and renamed The Hotel Bar, also modestly subtitled “The best bar west of the Hudson.”
The Broadmoor
Mountain Medallion Chips
We hope you enjoy these delicious, unique and Broadmoor exclusive snack chips. The Broadmoor commissioned Raquelitas Tortillas to create an all-natural gluten free snack hand crafted from Colorado grown hyper local ingredients with 89% of the ingredients grown within a 255 mile radius of The Broadmoor.
Raquelitas partners with:
Bow & Arrow Farms, grows the single field yellow heirloom indian corn on a Ute tribe reservation in Towaoc, Colorado – right on four corners, where New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Arizona meet.
Tri County Farms, run by the 5th generation of the Uhland Family grows the high oleic sunflower seed that is cold expeller pressed by Colorado Mills in Lamar, Colorado.
Mountain Man Chili Lime Pistachios
Since 1977, the Conner family have been creating quality products from their humble beginnings in their kitchen in Parker, Colorado. Nowhere is this quest for quality more evident than in the pistachios that the company offers. Frustration in the marketplace with high prices, unpredictable supply and questionable quality led the Conner's to purchase their own land in Arizona to grow the product they wanted to sell. They then spent two years developing the flavors and roasting process to produce the Chili Lime Pistachios that you are enjoying!
