What People Are Saying About Marlowe's

In Short – Conventioneers, tourists and locals have been depositing themselves at this old bank building on the 16th Street Mall for more than a dozen years. It has vaulted ceilings, expansive windows and a large patio. Steaks are the main attraction, but seafood, pastas and salads are also options. Patrons can wash their meal down with the restaurant's own Big Nose Beer or a drink from the bar, like a specialty martini.

I never want to go back
by whiteynho at Citysearch
After going to a lovely wedding in Littleton, we decided to make the half-hour trek downtown to continue the party at Marlowe's. We were NEVER greeted, and after finally being asked what I wanted, my order was completely ignored. No, I was not drunk! The bartender did order a cab for me, but then never followed up with me so it left. Apparently, business is NOT appreciated, so I will not go back.
- Cons: horrible bartender

great food, drink and atmosphere

Marlowe's is right on the 16th street mall...the location is excellent-convient to the FREE 16th street mall shuttle bus, and only a couple of blocks from the light rail. Very close to many of the downtown hotels. The seating both in and outside, offers great people watching on the 16th street mall-the windows open all along the one side of the restaurant, so you feel like you are outside, even though you are inside. The happy hour is excellent-the bartenders make great martinis! The daily food specials are excellent...fresh, and many specials feature local items. We have never had a bad seafood dish (all very fresh!), and the steaks and lamb were fabulous. The calmari and tuna apps are excellent. Their caesar salad has the best homemade caesar dressing...another favorite salad is the pear salad with goat cheese. Yummmy! Whenever we are in town, we make Marlowe's one of our definate stops. The friendly service, delicious food and relaxed atmosphere keep us coming back. Keep up the great work Marlowe's!
- Pros: location, food, atmosphere
- Cons: patio seating can be difficult to get

Tons of seating, great happy hour specials
by n_wilker at Citysearch
Definitely an older crowd. The drink special and appetizer specials are great! Lots of choices for beers on tap. Service was pretty attentive, but the bar tender was overwhelmed so refills were slow! The food was good ? I had the halibut with mashed lobster potatoes! They didn?t even complain when we asked to split the entree ? which was great, since it was a bit of food! We also enjoyed the spinach appetizer dip which was tasty and the chips were warm. Dark interior, and loud, but nice none the less. Patio was packed! We didn?t even try!
- Pros: Great happy hour specials, lots of seating
- Cons: Hard to get a seat on the patio
