Description
This restaurant and lounge, which is attached to the Plaza Hotel, is named after Harold Pratt, who was born and raised in Longmont, and whose family has a long lineage and history in the town. And the adjacent speakeasy bar, called the Bayonet Room, is named for a sword that once belonged to Pratt. The Bayonet Room is smashing, with its brothel-red banquettes and retro swivel stools, soft lighting, tin ceiling and antiquated bar augmented by a chalkboard scroll of spirits. There's even an old-fashioned telephone booth with a pull-down seat for those who want to slink off and have a private conversation. And the dining room is framed with windows, some of which overlook the large covered patio with a fire pit. The food is a gastropub-y collection of market-motivated dishes, many of which are designed for sharing. Everything, from the stocks to the ketchup to the jams, is made in-house, and regular jaunts to the farmers' markets are par for the course.
