The Lazy Greyhound — Restaurant in Littleton

If you believe that you only drink a little, come here and you will turn into a different person who drinks a lot.

I am a big fan of classics and the Lazy Greyhound hits the mark beautifully. This cocktail lounge is a classy, old school speakeasy that is social, vibrant and yet uber understated sexy. Tucked within the shops of downtown Main Street in Littleton, if you focus and zero in on a good time, you will see the hidden gem.

We managed to beat the crowd on a Saturday night and parked our happy butts for a bit. Stained glass on the bar backdrop with touches of their love for greyhounds scattered, there is no bad seat. We snagged a couch facing the bar but next time, I am getting the corner with the library books and globe for more intimate setting.

The cocktail list is extensive to quench your thirst. Mocktails available for those being responsible or pursuing a healthy liver. It ranges from your traditional cocktails like old fashions to seasonal cocktails.

I like to think I am in shape. Like the shape of a potato. In the form of vodka...particularly the Telluride Distillery vodka in the shieldmaiden cocktail. This cocktail has Rothman & Winter Orchard Apricot, Passion Fruit, Pomegranate, Lemon, and Egg Whites. THAT is how eggs should be served! The Kindred Spirit has 7 Year Filipino Rum, Velvet Falernum, Aelred Coiron Jaune L'Herboriste, Grapefruit, Lime, and Coconut. Can I make out those ingredients? Does it matter when it tastes so good?!!! Not only beautiful to photograph, cocktails are yummy. I have my eyes set on the Always on Call and San Francisco Smokeshow. Try them and save some for me.

Just to keep you from stumbling into utter bliss, there is a small menu of shareable bites including the seared ahi tuna and olive tapenade. The daily forecast here is alcohol, low wi-fi and unforgettable decisions. Drink up buttercup, it's a...

My guest and I walked into the first-come, first-serve lounge. We had to wait for a few minutes to be acknowledged (no problem, the casual pace seems to be part of the atmosphere) and then was told the couple standing outside were here before us and would be seated at the last available spot. Makes sense, it is first come first serve. We moved out of the way for the couple to walk in to the establishment. We were then told it would be about a 15-20 min wait, and we said no worries, we’ll be where there last couple was standing (outside the doorframe, in view of the “please wait to be seated” sign). About 12-13min, another couple walks up to the sign, like we had done, to be acknowledged. After this, a couple leaves from the bar, an employee cleans the spot, then immediately seats the people that came in after us, while we were still in view outside (same spot as the last couple). I walked up and asked if we were supposed to have been on a list. Response was that they don’t do a list and seat whoever’s first. We explained that we were first and did what was done when we first came in. The employee made no apologies and stated that she didn’t see us and explained that maybe we should’ve made more of an effort to have been seen. I understand that it’s a small location and folks can only do the best they can. However, I don’t think it’s necessary to make a point of placing the blame on the customer if they’ve done what they were told or at least acknowledge the mistake. I highly recommend the owner ensure communication is a priority among the employees and/or have a system in place to truly honor the first come, first serve concept. Gave 2 stars instead of 1 because the first employee was very nice and courteous and I do want to support...

first time wanting to try it out we got there to see ppl waiting outside but no one knew anything about how long the wait would be, and crucially there was no one at the host stand to answer questions or get on a wait list

• this is now edited to take out the word "pretentious" - I shouldn't have rushed to use such a strong word to describe a literal velvet rope blocking the entryway and nobody there to answer questions, we did wait about 5 minutes to see if someone came out to take down names, but before that we did ask the other ppl waiting what was going on, how long they were waiting etc - nobody else had been helped yet, and they had been waiting 15-20 minutes

Like I said, several other people experienced the same issue, we're not "entitled" ppl, we just had no information about what was going on except what we could observe - a busy bar and a velvet rope, unattended for at least 20 ish mins, so yes we decided not to wait, that was after about 5 minutes of wondering Idk maybe we should have waited an hour to get in - who knows it may have been worth it

Look, this is not an attack, folks obv you have plenty of business, dont be too upset about one personal experience I'll give you five stars for atmosphere bc it does look nice in there, maybe take some of your decor budget and make sure you have a representative at the host stand but I'm no...
