Myron has won every possible award for the Zephyr Lounge except Best Dressed Man (and he is really disappointed about that!)



Since 2002 the Zephyr Lounge has won a fantastic array of awards including seven of Aurora Sun Sentinel's coveted Critic's Choice Awards and Westword's 2004 Best Early-Morning Happy Hour Award.

2004 Best Early-Morning Happy Hour Award

   Barry Melnick had been slingin' suds for the Zephyr Lounge's early-morning crowds for 56 years when he was sidelined last spring by a car accident and heart attack. Now his son, Myron, is keeping the Zephyr's 7 a.m. happy hour alive. With the nearby Fitzsimons campus being redeveloped into a biopark, there just aren't many people left in the area who need to tie one on after the night shift. No matter: As long as Barry's around, the Zephyr will always be open to great customers, even if they come in a few at a time. Need a wake-up call? Try the house specialty: rocket-fuel coffee (Kahlúa optional). Rise and shine.
