http://www.madgreens.com Located in the same space as Mad Greens and Novo Coffee Bar, Mad Wine Bar rounds out the other options with cheese plates and a range of wines by the glass or bottle. The wine and cheese change often, though a few of each have earned permanent status due to their popularity. The walls here serve as a gallery for local artists, whose work is sold by the bar and rotated monthly. The space features lots of green and purple, with booths, concrete pillars and steel dividers comprising the decor. The bar would be perfectly acceptable to your grandma or your art-school friend, and you'll find them both here. The proximity to the DAM makes Mad Wine Bar an ideal place to go pre- or post-museum visit, and it often hosts art-related events, including receptions for the DAM's Logan Lecture Series.

Located next to the Elvis Cinema in the corner of an Arvada strip mall, the Madrid Lounge got its start back in the '70s, when it used to bring in bands. The kitchen still turns out Chinese and American food (despite the name, you won't find any tapas here), which makes this cozy suburban spot a good choice for a drink, a meal, some music -- or all of the above.

It's a bit hard to gauge what's beyond the darkly tinted front windows, but this nondescript Englewood dive has a pretty cool interior. Although the walls are lined with photos of Denver sports legends, it's not your typical sports bar with TVs blasting; you're more likely to hear some of the regulars talking about local teams. The Gothic Theatre sits just a few blocks south; the Magnet's friendly bartenders, cheap yet strong drinks, pool tables and dartboards make it an ideal spot for catching a pre- or post-show drink.

The Majestic Saloon somehow feels larger than the modest space it occupies in a strip mall off Parker Road. There's a lot packed into the place: pool tables, a jukebox, a shuffleboard table and a small stage that hosts weekly karaoke sessions and occasional live performances. The bar's menu is equally ambitious and boasts a relatively wide array of Mexican dishes, appetizers and standard bar staples at reasonable prices. The place draws a largely local crowd, visitors from the nearby suburban Aurora neighborhoods who lend the Majestic a casual, relaxed feel. While it also pulls in an occasional biker or rowdy crowd on weekends, at its heart it feels like a calm, predictable neighborhood bar. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.facebook.com/maloneysdenver Maloney's Tavern is part of a western chain that also has locations in California, Arizona and New Mexico; this LoDo link opened in 2007. Although it's a great sports bar, it's also a decent place to settle in for a long night of dining and dishing with friends. The slightly elevated dining room is full of comfortable, round booths that make conversation easy, and the inexpensive menu makes ordering easy. One side lists entrees; the other side is a full page of $5 items. A club sandwich that comes with a pound of French fries? Just $5. "The Schmitter," a sliced rib-eye sandwich smothered in provolone, grilled onions and Thousand Island dressing, again served with fries, is only $5. And for another $5, a basket of chicken wings will fly out of the kitchen and land on your table. Wash everything down with one of the many beers on tap or a selection from the lengthy list of spirits. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.doubledaughters.com The tables and bar stools look like they've been dipped in candle wax, and there's a giant synthetic tree -- replete with flying birds -- that branches out in the middle of the room at Mario's Double Daughter's Salotto. The lounge that adjoins Mario's Two-Fisted Pizza and claims the same owners, the Salotto is a sensory treat with an agreeable happy hour and progressive DJs spinning every night of the week. Mario, you've such a lovely daughter. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
Marisela's Night Club in northwest Denver has long been a popular venue for hearing authentic live Latin music, including salsa, mariachi and banda, from mostly local acts. Not surprisingly, the dance floor at this lively spot can sometimes get so crowded that it's tough to move, especially on weekends. On Sundays, Marisela's offers free food and entertainment.

http://www.themarquistheatre.com The thought of sending naive teenagers into the heart of the Ballpark neighborhood can be daunting for parents. But thanks to Soda Jerk Presents' Mike Barsch and Ben Davis, such apprehension is unfounded when it comes to the Marquis Theater. Although all ages are welcome, the longtime promoters, who successfully put on all-ages shows at Tulagi and Rock Island for years before taking over here, clearly cater to the underage set. Barsch and Davis consistently put together stacked bills of emerging acts that appeal to the MySpace generation. Younger fans are ushered into a massive area in front of the stage that has clear sightlines and is completely separate from the space occupied by folks of legal drinking age -- and the shows end well before the witching hour.

http://www.matchboxdenver.com The Matchbox's name was inspired partly by a fire that gutted the space in 2009, and partly by the fact that it's long and narrow like a matchbox. Sudhir Kudva, who also owns the Squire Lounge, partnered up with two other folks and overhauled the former Orange Cat Studios, demolished the back of the building to make way for a large patio, put in new bathrooms and installed a garage door in the front. While the place has been updated considerably, it still retains some of the Orange Cat's charm, like the exposed brick on the south wall. With three live-music venues within a block, the Matchbox focuses more on being a neighborhood watering hole than on bringing in live entertainment. There are a number of local beers on tap and a decent selection of cocktails, as well. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
Considering its tropical theme, the Maya Sports Bar and Grill occupies an unlikely spot in north Aurora. Sitting in front of the abandoned Fan Fare building, the Maya does its best to stand apart from its somewhat colorless surroundings, with its brightly colored tropical signs and its constant schedule of live DJs spinning Latino pop. With a standard bar selection and a menu marked by Central American and Mexican cuisine, the Maya offers an ideal spot to dance to Latin American music and take advantage of great beer specials.

http://www.mccabesbistroandpub.com It's easy to get disoriented at McCabe's Irish Pub, and the bar's sprawling, two-story layout is only partly responsible for that effect. The painstaking attention paid to Irish authenticity in McCabe's food and drink menu is what's truly dizzying. From delectable dishes like shepherd's pie and fish and chips to hard-to-find brews like Kilkenny Cream Stout, the menu shoots for Gaelic purity at every level. Beyond the menu, McCabe's owners have worked hard to distinguish the bar's ambience from its setting in the Southlands shopping mall. With hardwood bars on both levels and massive portraits of Irish literary giants like Wilde and Yeats keeping watch over the bar's booths, it's easy to feel transported. What's more, with the proximity of Buckley Air Force Base, the bar draws a rich variety of regulars, including British ex-pats looking for a taste of home. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.mccarthysbng.com Wandering around McCarthy's Bar and Grill can be disorienting. The spacious bar and restaurant, located in the Smoky Hill neighborhood of eastern Aurora, has a lot going on: There's the large dance floor, the walk-up bar and restaurant section, and a front dining room that doubles as a Texas Hold 'Em poker space several times during the week. In keeping with its theme as an intimate Irish-style pub, the owners have included nods to the Emerald Isle on their menu: The Irish Nachos run less than $10. The rest of the food and drink menu comprises standard bar fare, regular happy hours and staples that include hamburgers, Mexican plates and appetizers under $15. The bar tends to attract an older, adult crowd from the nearby suburbs, but live rock shows on Fridays bring in younger patrons. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.myspace.com/mcdonoughspub McDonough's Irish Pub is more of a well-worn dive than a typical Irish pub. But in keeping with a dive, McDonough's serves some of the cheapest drinks in this section of Aurora near the intersection of Parker Road and Iliff Avenue. One half of the bar has a pool table and dartboards, while the other half is where the heavy drinking goes down. It also has a decent-sized smoking patio. There's usually live music on the weekends and Texas Hold 'Em on Sundays and Wednesdays. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.meadststation.com A rowdy restaurant/bar in northwest Denver, Mead St. Station's biggest draw is probably its reasonably priced food and decent array of microbrews and top-shelf liquor; on weekends, the bar is crammed with happy imbibers. But music is also on the menu several nights a week, with acoustic, cover, jazz and R&B bands working a window-side stage area. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.meadowlarkbar.com Although it's a basement space, the Meadowlark features soft, tasteful lighting and a well-appointed interior that makes you forget you're belowground. The room is well-suited to singer-songwriters and acoustic acts who thrive in small places, where they can better connect with the audience. And with a recent run of regular bookings, the once obscure bar has become a nice, clean place to see indie-rock frontmen playing rare acoustic sets as well as louder bands.

The Border had long been a popular watering hole in the University of Denver neighborhood, though it went through some dry spells -- and then dried up altogether in May 2012. A trio of new owners, two of whom run Merchants Saloon in Oakland, California, recently took over the space and have reopened as Merchants Mile High Saloon. And although the new owners wanted the place to have more of a "dark and sexy" club feel than a casual sports-bar atmosphere, Merchants will show games when they're on.

http://www.mercurycafe.com For thirty years now, Marilyn Megenity has hosted the town's most eclectic party at the Mercury Cafe, her club/cafe/community gathering place. Today it's an institution known as much for its enlightening entertainment options - plays, poetry slams, tango dancing - as it is for its healthy hippie fare. Whether vegan or carnivore, libertarian or commie, everyone feels at home at the Merc. A restaurant, dance club, music venue and speakeasy, the Mercury Cafe is in an orbit of its own, hosting everything from lindy hop lessons to poetry readings, high teas and Green Party meetings. Rock-and-roll shows were axed years ago, but classical, jazz, avant-garde and singer-songwriter performances still go on in the Merc's three baroque rooms. Every cultural subset can find something at the Merc, the embodiment of Denver eclecticism. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.mezcalcolorado.com There's magic in Mezcal's off-hours, when it's just a quiet little neighborhood spot for simple, traditional Tijuana street food in a comfy-funky atmosphere. Friday night? That's different. That's when the kids come -- backflow from the Bluebird Theater and shock troops of the local hipsterati in their weekend best -- and crowd the bar. Here, lucha libre fighters plaster the walls, and there are more tequila choices than you can shake a tamale at. The late-night menu certainly is an attraction, with a moonlit happy hour famous for more than just beer. After dinner, the folks bellying up are, as is typical along this stretch, on the younger, hipper side of things. There's also a decent amount of traffic before and after (and during set breaks from) shows at the Bluebird Theater, which is across the street. Mezcal's kitchen keeps going until 1 a.m., and after 10 p.m. it bangs out tacos at a dollar a pop in a kind of reverse happy hour that keeps the area jumping 'til long after most decent folk have gone to bed.

When Len & Bill's went dark after fifty years in March 2010, Denver lost one of its great dives, in addition to being one of the dingiest joints in town. But after new owner Mike Keeney took over the space, he did a major overhaul on the small space, added a patio in back and added some of his own personality to the place. After opening it as Mike's Tavern in July, 2011, the bar still attracts a fair amount of Len & Bill's regulars as well a new set of neighborhood folks who might have been scared to go in the dimly-lit dive in the past.

http://www.coclubs.com/venue/detail/milk When Rock Island closed in 2006 after a long, legendary run, it left a big hole in the gothic and industrial communities. And while there are still rumors that the Island will start up again one day, it's probably not going to happen anytime soon. In the meantime, for those who frequented the legendary 15th Street club, there's a good chance you'll run into somebody you know at Milk on Wednesdays and Saturdays, when the club hosts '80s & '90s Retro/Goth nights. Resident DJ Mike Rich spins a thoroughly decent set of new wave from the Reagan era, with a bit of old-school goth thrown in; Paul Italiano, FashioNation owner, spins at the club once a month. (Both Rich and Italiano are former Rock Island DJs.) While Milk, with its Clockwork Orange theme, is a bit small, it's still a great spot to get your retro dance on and hang with a fascinating mix of folks, some decked out in full goth regalia.

http://www.milossportstavern.com A steady stream of regulars come and go at Milo's Sports Tavern, where people are friendly and the server, who also acts as bartender and hostess, greets you by name. Milo's is a neighborhood sports joint with comfortable leather seats at the bar meant for sitting in for a while. Though not a very big space, the tavern makes great use of what's available. More than twenty flat-screen TVs line the top of the walls around the entire restaurant, with four more on the smoking patio, and there are more neon beer signs than beers on tap. The kitchen stays open until 1 a.m., so you can soak up the bargain booze with some mac-and-cheese or any number of other sports-bar food staples. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
