Featured Bars/Clubs


http://www.12volttavern.com Nestled amid the quiet, small-town charm of Olde Town Arvada, the 12 Volt Tavern is a gritty hole-in-the-wall rock club with no frills or fuss, just good music, cheap drinks and plenty of local punk and rock acts to keep your ears ringing for days. The Tavern may seem out of place among its better-groomed neighbors, but its well-worn character is completely authentic, providing a choice spot for punks and blue-collar barflies to congregate over drinks and games of pool. During the week, the Volt's killer jukebox spits out cuts by Sabbath, Zep, the Clash, Sex Pistols and Hank Williams. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.16mixdenverdowntown.com Housed in the Sheraton Hotel, the upscale 16Mix cocktail lounge is an ideal spot for people-watching both inside and outside, since it has floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the 16th Street Mall. A step up from many other downtown hotel bars, 16Mix is visually stunning and has a first-rate crew of bartenders who can whip up anything from an old standby to any number of the lounge's signature cocktails, like the Green Haus (gin, ginger simple syrup and lime juice) or the Key Lime Pie (vanilla vodka, pineapple and Rose's lime mix). Quite a few local brews are on tap, and 16Mix serves small-plate items that include pot stickers, calamari, shrimp quesadillas, burgers and sandwiches. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.the-1up.com Opened in March 2011, the 1Up is an arcade, bar and restaurant. Located just a half a block from Coors Field, the place features more than thirty vintage arcade games, all from 1985 and earlier, like Pac-Man, Tetris, Galaga, Mortal Kombat and Tron. The 1Up is one of a kind in Denver. Named after the green mushroom that you earn in Mario Brothers when you get the free guy or when player one is up at the start of a game, the 1Up has two lanes of Skee-Ball, eight pinball machines and a display case full of vintage home-game consoles. The bathrooms are tricked out with vintage arcade art, and a mural behind the stage area was done by Jason Garcia, one of the live painters with STS9. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://24k.lotusclubs.com 24k, owned by Francois Safieddine (Suite Two Hundred and Chloe), is decked out with gold furniture, chandeliers and huge, back-lit photos of a girl painted gold and wearing a platinum wig. It's located above Oak Tavern, with an entrance in the alley. While the intimate 24K primarily caters to the bottle-service crowd, it's a bit different from other bottle services around town, with lychee, mango, guava, passion fruit and pomegranate liqueurs thrown into the mix. 24K is open Thursdays through Saturdays with rotating resident DJs -- Pat Allen, Sound Supreme, and DJ Squirt -- spinning house and dance music.

http://www.28thtavern.com Opened in 2009 on Super Bowl Sunday, the 28th Street Tavern has become a locals' favorite, with an impressive list of continuing specials. During the weekday evening happy hour, 28th Street offers everyone's favorite -- the buy-one-get-one -- plus free pool. And don't let the front room fool you: The bar counter extends nearly thirty feet back and opens up into a large pool room stocked with high-top tables, foosball and a small stage for local acts to play on. Outside is a small fenced and heated patio with seating and a wall-mounted television so you don't lose track of the game. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.the-1up.com/the-2up.html A year after opening the 1UP, the hot arcade/bar in LoDo, owner Jourdan Adler took over the former home of Pete’s Monkey Bar and put his second bar, the 2UP, in its place. The 2UP might be smaller than its downtown sister, but there’s still room enough for more than 35 vintage arcade games, three lanes of Skee-Ball and nine pinball games. The barcade concept has worked quite well in other parts of the country, and Adler is proving that Denverites fully embrace it as well. While the 1UP allows kids during the day, the 2UP is strictly a 21-plus spot. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.3kingstavern.com Calling 3 Kings Tavern a rock bar just hints at the entertainment to be found here. From hosting an array of dance nights, burlesque revues and art shows in the basement gallery to presenting a full calendar of top-notch local talent (including a rare appearance by Slim Cessna's Auto Club) and compelling national acts (Red Fang and High on Fire among them), this venue is almost always a sure bet. Couple that entertainment lineup with a staff that's as welcoming to the customers as it is to the bands (which are all treated like rock stars, whether imports or exports), and it's easy to see why this joint has so many fans -- even if the sound occasionally leaves something to be desired.

http://www.thirtyfourteen.com If you didn't already know about it, it would be easy to overlook 3014's best asset: the upstairs patio. Sporting a full bar, benches and umbrellas, it's one of the most inviting spots in the city. But the main part of the bar is nice, too. Even though it's on Colfax, 3014 (formerly Senger's) feels more like an upscale LoDo bar. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.the9thdoor.com When the 9th Door opened in 2005, veteran chef Michael Wahaltere was called in as a consultant, and he created a menu of Spanish favorites, meant to be mixed and matched and made into a meal. To go with this inviting lineup, the cavernous spot was decked out in coppery hues and dark woods, with a plush red banquette along the wall and a bed in the middle of the dining room, gimmicky enough to make you feel like you've entered some adult theme park. The decor remains; the chef does not. Today's board keeps a lot of the original Wahaltere creations; the menu is divided between hot and cold tapas, all of which combine such traditional ingredients as olives, ham and Manchego and goat cheeses, with varying levels of complexity and success. The best time to stop by this restaurant is during happy hour, when the bites and beverages are a steal. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.atcheers.com After a long run as the Golden Cue and a brief stint as Chasers, the owner of JR's Silver Bullet in Thornton and England native Rob Kirk opened @ Cheers in March, 2011. While the place still hangs on to some of its charm when it was the Golden Cue (yes, there are still plenty of pool tables), this spacious bar in a Northglenn strip mall was remodeled and cleaned up when @ Cheers moved in. The live entertainment was also stepped up -- local rock and hard rock bands play on the weekends and the bar hosts karaoke on Thursdays. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.boulderabsinthehouse.com After a thirteen-year run as the Foundry, new owners took over this spot in 2010 and turned it into a bar that looks like it dates back to that day almost a century ago when absinthe was banned, but with an updated feel. Since the owners also run the Green Fairy absinthe bar and two restaurants in Summit County, they already had a handle on the absinthe market, so it's not surprising that Absinthe House boasts the largest selection of absinthe of any bar in America. The front part of the space is a restaurant that serves lunch and dinner; the back is a 6,000-square-foot nightclub with DJs spinning European electronic music six nights of the week as well as theme nights throughout the week.

http://www.acedenver.com Ping-pong has arrived in Denver. And if what’s happening at Ace, the latest restaurant by the team behind Vesta Dipping Grill and Steuben’s, is any indication, the game has the power to transform a night on the town. Although owners Josh and Jen Wolkon can’t take credit for making the squat paddles cool, they certainly lobbed the craze into Denver’s prime time, repurposing a cavernous, 9,000-square-foot garage next to Steuben’s into a hangout extraordinaire. Even without the eleven ping-pong tables (including some on the patio), the space would feel like a party: lights low, music pumping, the decor full of fun touches like shipping containers, airplane parts and a curvy bar with scorpion bowls, alcoholic shaved ices and fab barman Randy Layman. Waits for a ping-pong table approach two hours on weekends; fortunately, there’s plenty to do in the interim. Eat, for example. Because as much as Ace is a ping-pong hall and bar, it also has a kitchen intent on keeping up with the spot’s flashier components. Food skews Asian – but it’s reinterpreted Asian, with none of the dishes we’ve all come to know (if not love) at Americanized Asian joints. Instead, go for crispy beef in honey-ginger sauce, ginger-soy steamed sea bass, red-curry beef, and steamed bao, stuffed with goodies like chicken thighs or braised short ribs.

Ace Hi Tavern is a Golden institution: Residents of the sleepy foothills town have been living it up at this Washington Street bar for half a century. The cushy booths are just the thing for sinking into if you don't feel like perching on a bar stool, and the tavern has plenty of distractions for drinkers, including a pool table and television. There are bound to be several other people in the bar no matter when you walk in -- but on weekends, during happy hours and on beer pong nights, expect it to be packed. Ace Hi serves hot dogs out of a wire rotisserie for $1, plus the usual array of chips to help balance out the booze. The decor is Western-themed and Colorado-proud, with maps of the state and "Native" signs adorning the walls, and old-fashioned steer horns fancied up with Mardi Gras beads stationed above the cash register. The tavern features DJs on Fridays and karaoke on Saturdays, and when there's no live entertainment to be had, you'll find plenty of hard rock on the jukebox.

Between the ’60s and the ’80s, Denver had a fairly vital tiki scene, thanks to Trader Vic’s and Don the Beachcomber, but save for a few short-lived tries over the last few decades, this city's tiki action was largely extinguished years ago. When the 2,200-square-foot Adrift finally opened after several delays, it established itself as Denver’s only tiki bar. Co-owner Jay Dedrick, who owns Denver’s Swing Thai restaurants, wanted the spot to be old-school and timeless, and indeed, Adrift is a step back in time. The spot specializes in modern and classic tiki cocktails as well as Prohibition-era tropical drinks. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.aggietheatre.com Fort Collins's biggest live-music hall is a converted movie theater retrofitted with two bars. The Aggie sports a broad, multi-leveled floor that ensures a good view from anywhere, although a brutal chain-link fence separates the aged from the under-aged.

http://www.appaloosagrill.com When you stumble off the 16th Street Mall and into the Appaloosa, a cheerful, independently owned spot, odds are good that you'll hit a happy hour. Because the Appaloosa's happy hours are very, very expansive -- almost as expansive as its booze is inexpensive during these times. And you can often down your drinks while listening to live music -- a rarity in this part of town. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.aqualoungedenver.com Talk about your 180s: The Mozart Lounge long held a place in the hearts of dive-bar diehards, serving cheap, early-morning beers to workers just off the job at nearby hospitals and late-night cocktails to the riff-raff and bikers who might grace those same med centers later in the evening. But now the space has been completely reinvented by the owners of the Barker Lounge as a slick, H2O-themed cocktail lounge, complete with sleek leather furniture, live entertainment, a VIP area and dim lighting. It might seem a little out of place on a block sandwiched between Colfax and one of the busiest King Soopers in the state, but Aqua Lounge is making it work. And even those Mozart regulars might be lured back by the four-hour happy hour Aqua offers each day, plus the karaoke on Thursdays and pianists on Fridays and Saturdays.

Karaoke was, of course, brought to these shores by way of Japan, so it's not every day you find a Mexican restaurant that has drunken people singing words off of a screen. Enter Armida's, which is packed with people every night, all doing it their way. But karaoke isn't the only draw here: The booze is cheap, and you can enjoy it on a patio that overlooks Lincoln. The menu hinges on standards like burritos and fajitas, but there are also some specialty items that could be playing your tune. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.armourydenver.com Named after the Arsenal soccer team's fan store, the Armoury is an old-world pub that focuses on soccer; spirits heavy on beer and browns; a “Euro pub” menu created by Brian Laird; and a live-music lineup that features punk, post-punk and indie-rock acts. Partners Juan Padro, Kevin Eddy, Brad Beale, Kris Slocum and Kris Baehre (the former owner of Highland Tavern) opened their place in early 2013, taking a few cues from Europe -- where sports, culture and art aren't mutually exclusive, as they seem to be in the States. The refurbished warehouse space is decked out with hardwood floors, exposed red brick, several TVs (including one with a huge projector screen), a zinc bar, and an antique back bar that features a gorgeous porcelain-baked enamel tap system, from which eight brews are poured. The menu goes way beyond standard Brit fare, with salads and homemade soups, flatbread pizzas, sandwiches and charcuterie. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

http://www.atomiccowboy.net Close by the Bluebird Theater, the Atomic Cowboy has morphed from a late-night, post-concert fave into an all-day jack-of-all-trades spot. Two food purveyors inhabit the bar: From early in the morning into the afternoon, the Denver Biscuit Company cranks out biscuit sandwiches and platters for the local workforce; starting at lunch, Fat Sully's bakes greasy, huge pizza slices and pies for dine-in, takeout or delivery, and continues serving until the wee hours. As for the Cowboy itself, the cavernous joint comes fully stocked with a bi-level bar that features a daily happy hour (as well as daily specials), a trivia night, a few well-placed plasmas, pool tables and a slew of board games.
