A wonderful place for lunch, dinner and/or a drink. Located in the beautiful, historic Brown Palace Hotel, the Ship Tavern is unique in its design. A beautiful bar, delicious food and a delightful place to spend time.

The restaurant needs help - poor service and mediocre food. Very small portions, Little value in the price paid. Brought concerns the manager (Fred) who was less than interested in customer service and addressing the problems. He and the server were more robotic then humanistic. =

Service and food were extraordinary, especially the Prime Rib. Nice ambiance, not too loud or clamorous. Elderly server was kind and funny. The only issue we had is that our drink coupons issued to us from the front desk were taken but not applied to our check.
