Grand Mondays.
When the first day of the work week is cold and rainy, it’s nice to have a grown-up place to melt into after working hours.
Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret features Grand Mondays – an evening of classy grand piano entertainment in a nostalgic, lush setting.
No cost for entry, enjoy an extravagant setting from a simpler time and fanciful appetizers and desserts. The full bar features classic cocktails and after-dinner drinks, including the “Lannitini” – pomegranate vodka, pomegranate juice and a touch of the bubbly.
Slink away from the weather and into the week to the tunes of veteran piano man Larry Wegner behind the baby grand piano – a good way to make Mondays welcome.
What: Grand Mondays at Lannie’s
Where: Denver’s Historic D&F Tower at 16th and Arapahoe Streets, 6 p.m.
