Ambler

Kerouac-themed hotel bar and grill behind Union Station, easy at any hour.

Ambler

Ambler opened in August 2024 on the ground floor of the Hotel Indigo, in the space that had been Hearth & Dram and then Three Saints Revival. Sage Hospitality runs it, chef Samir Aniba cooks, and the theme is Jack Kerouac's Denver stopovers in the late 1940s, which in practice means a comfortable, dim room doing guacamole and flautas, roast chicken, steak frites and a burger. It is open from 6:30am breakfast through dinner, so it functions as a neighborhood all-day place for the towers behind the station as much as a hotel restaurant.

Why go. A dependable happy hour or early breakfast within a two-minute walk of the train platforms.

Sunday is all-day happy hour, and the bar is rarely full then.
