Metropole Bar + Kitchen
7.8
A Hotel Indigo dining room that flies below the downtown hype radar, offering a steady all-day brasserie menu in a relaxed setting. Think dependable breakfast, lunch, and dinner staples with a full bar that works for casual meetings or pre-event bites. Not a destination splash, but quietly reliable and easy to like.

Short rib hash, Seasonal flatbread, Indigo burger

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Hotel Indigo offers on-site valet (typically paid), and surrounding garages on Francisco Street have reliable self-park options; street parking is limited during events.
Dress code: Casual to smart casual—work attire, neat jeans, and business-casual outfits all fit the room.
Noise level: Moderate, leaning quiet outside peak hotel flow—easy for conversation or laptop time.
Weekend wait: Usually minimal wait unless there’s a major event nearby—10–20 minutes at peak.
Weekday lunch: Almost always seated immediately, even for solo diners.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Solid options—salads, pasta, and customizable plates.
Vegan options: Limited but workable—1–2 dishes plus modifiable sides.
Gluten-free options: Multiple GF-friendly items; staff can guide substitutions.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Decent for a low-pressure coffee, drink, or casual bite—less ideal for a high-romance first date since the vibe is more relaxed hotel brasserie than ambiance-driven.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes—walk-ins are typically easy outside of major Crypto.com Arena or Convention Center events.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for casual family meals; the menu is approachable and the space is calm, though it’s not specifically designed with children’s amenities.
Best For
Better for: Reliable all-day dining with minimal stress—great for meetings, solo meals, and pre-event bites when surrounding hotspots are slammed.
Skip if: You’re chasing destination dining, trendy energy, or chef-driven menus—this is more about convenience and comfort than culinary spectacle.
