Casselman's Bar & Venue

Casselman's Bar & Venue

The last word of Casselman's Bar & Venue really tells you what you need to know: This is a venue, above all, and a huge one, located on a warehouse-y stretch of Walnut Street in the Ballpark neighborhood.
Hangar Bar

Over the years, the bar's owners have changed, as has the clientele, but the neighborhood joint still serves those stiff drinks.

  • The 2UP

    The 2UP

    717 E. Colfax Ave. Denver, CO 80203
    303-779-6444

    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 >>

  • 3014 Thirty Fourteen

    3014 Thirty Fourteen

    3014 E. Colfax Denver, CO Denver, CO 80206
    303-981-9720

    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 >>

  • Ace

    Ace

    501 E. 17th Ave. Denver, CO 80203
    303-800-7705

    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.

  • Armida

    Armida's Restaurant

    840 Lincoln St. Denver, CO 80203
    303-837-8921

    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 >>

  • Atomic Cowboy

    Atomic Cowboy

    3237 E. Colfax Ave. Denver, CO 80206
    303-377-7900

    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.

  • Bannock Street Garage

    Bannock Street Garage

    1015 Bannock St. Denver, CO 80204
    303-534-7000

    http://www.bannockstreetgarage.com The Bannock Street Garage didn't pull its name out of thin air: For years, it was a Volkswagen repair shop. That is, until 2004, when it was refit as a bar as divey as anything you'd care to find in the metro area. Its garage roots are still evident by the massive door at the front, the cement floors and the large, open patio in the back. The place tends to attract crowds in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties, with celebrations ranging from First Fridays showcasing art to open-mike nights once a month for performers. And if that isn't enough to entertain you, there are plenty of traditional bar games as well, including pool and darts. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • The Bar Car

    The Bar Car

    819 Colorado Blvd. Denver, CO 80206
    720-524-8099

    The Recovery Room catered mostly, as its name implied, to the many employees of the ever-disintegrating CU Med Center location across the street. When Leigh Jones -- of Horseshoe Lounge and Jonesy's fame -- bought the place, she overhauled it. Completely. Now on Colorado Boulevard stands the Bar Car, a welcome addition to the East Denver scene. The dark, rustic interior -- with wisps of an old-timey railroad theme -- is surprising after stepping through the nondescript front. On a street known for chains, it's all defiantly 'hood-focused, from the well-curated draft list heavy on locals to its daily happy hour. The crowd follows suit, with a wide gamut stopping by after work to check the score of the game or for a late-night soaking up of the warm surroundings. Plus, what other bar boasts as a decoration a naked picture of Burt Reynolds? Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • Barricuda

    Barricuda's

    1076 Ogden St. Denver, CO 80218
    303-860-8353

    http://www.barricudasdenver.com The main attractions at Barricuda's, a quintessential neighborhood bar, are the prices and the atmosphere, which is laid-back and friendly. The food is greasy-spoon and the menu is expansive for a bar; there are plenty of vegetarian options, and the Sunday brunch is popular and offers just the right type of breakfast spread for fighting a hangover. Plus, Barricuda's serves food late at night, making it a good place to stop for one last drink and some munchies. The clientele reflects the vibe: You won't find a lot of buttoned-down businessmen, club bunnies or frat boys, but you will find regular, neighborly folks enjoying the friendly staff, cheap drinks and typical bar jukebox that's set at just the right volume - loud enough to hear the music, but soft enough to enjoy a conversation with friends.

  • Barry

    Barry's on Broadway

    58 Broadway Denver, CO 80203
    303-722-8489

    Housed in the space formerly occupied by the Skylark Lounge, the comfortable seating and well-broken-in bar top do well to create a comfortable atmosphere. Barry's jukebox selection doesn't quite live up to the Skylark's famed rockabilly list, but this bar creates its own charm with a friendly staff and great food. Its dive-y feel, combined with a classy decor attracts an unpretentious local crowd. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • Beauty Bar

    Beauty Bar

    608 E. 13th Ave. Denver, CO 80203
    720-542-8024

    http://www.thebeautybar.com While Denver's Beauty Bar has plenty of vintage kitsch from its other locations around the country, it also sports state-of-the-art, German-made KS Audio systems in the front and main rooms, each of which have their own DJ booth and bar. And in keeping with a tradition started at the original Beauty Bar in New York, the Denver location offers a Martinis and Manicures happy hour from 5 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, when $10 gets you a signature cocktail and a manicure from the in-house cosmetologist.

  • Blue Ice

    Blue Ice

    22 Broadway Denver, CO 80203
    303-777-3433

    While it may have started off trying to be a non-LoDo bar, it's probably the closest thing to a LoDo-vibed dance club on South Broadway -- only the drinks are cheaper, so it's clear why Blue Ice has the dance-club market cornered in the Baker District. Nearly every night at the lounge is different theme with a different crowd, whether it be salsa, tango, hip-hop or reggae. With its leather couches, the place can a relaxed spot to sip on martinis in the early evening, but come Friday and Saturday, the place fills up fast. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • Bluebird Theater

    Bluebird Theater

    3317 E. Colfax Ave. Denver, CO 80218
    303-377-1666

    http://www.bluebirdtheater.net The Bluebird Theater started hosting live music in 1994, and it didn't take long for the theater, built in 1913, to become one of the city's best midsized venues. With sculpted capitals, restored Victorian-style paintings and a vaulted ceiling, the place is as much a work of art as any of the touring and local bands that grace its stage. The marquee regularly lights up Colfax with some of the most important names in independent music, as well as lauded locals ready to make the leap from clubs to a bigger stage. In 2006, AEG Live took over the room and made significant upgrades to the production aspects of the place. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • Blush & Blu

    1526 E. Colfax Ave. Denver, CO 80218
    303-484-8548

    http://www.blushblubar.com In 2012, Blush & Blu moved into the space formerly known as tHERe Coffee Bar & Lounge (hailed as Denver's lesbian Cheers). And while still lesbian-friendly, Blush & Blu puts more of a focus on its “Distinct Drinkery” tag. It’s still a place to get a great cup of coffee or coffee drink, but the bar and lounge also has a decent selection of beers, tinctures, elixirs and shots, as well as martinis and other cocktails. It’s a lively spot on weekends and hosts the occasional open-mic night during the week. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • Boyz Town Denver

    Boyz Town Denver

    117 Broadway Denver, CO 80203
    303-722-7373

    http://www.boyztowndenver.com One of Denver's prime spots for male revues, Boyz Town hosts them every day of the week except Mondays, starting at 10 p.m. Essentially a gay bar, the club is also popular for bachelorette parties; as the name implies, the dancers are (for the most part) in their early twenties. Since the space is a bit on the small side, it can fill up fast, leaving little room to move around, but that could be seen as part of its charm. It's also an ideal spot for people-watching.

  • Broadways

    Broadways

    1027 Broadway Denver, CO 80203
    303-623-0700

    http://www.broadwaysdenver.com A self-proclaimed "community bar," Broadways, which sits just blocks from Civic Center Park, has been a pre- and post-parade destination of spirited Pride festival-goers for the past eight years. But during the rest of the year, the storefront spot is a nondescript hangout for all kinds, with a pool table garnering the most attention and a tiny bungalow of a dance floor sometimes occupied by a DJ. The jukebox can be found blaring everything from Whitney Houston to Queen, but the patrons bellied up to the wooden bar top surrounded by wooden walls don't seem to mind what's playing. Broadways' small interior suits regulars just fine, but the establishment's back patio -- which will see an expansion in the spring -- is the bar's best feature. Picnic tables and umbrellas accommodate bigger summer crowds, and the outside back bar nearly doubles the amount of space. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • Caveau Wine Bar

    Caveau Wine Bar

    450 E.17th Ave. Denver, CO 80203
    303-861-3747

    http://www.caveauwinebar.com At their worst, wine lists are pompous, stratospherically overpriced, ridiculously long, awkwardly categorized and full of overexposed, yawn-inducing labels. But at Caveau Wine Bar, the 75-bottle list (55 are available by the glass) is an easy-to-navigate document of new discoveries, small producers and familiar but not overrated labels. The polished yet easygoing staff is well-versed in wine education and just as enthusiastic about pushing a $30 bottle of vino as a three-digit one, which is a welcome change to the rigorous sport of upselling. Those prowling for deals know to show up at 4 p.m. for the daily happy hour. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • Chances

    Chances

    1320 15th St. Denver, CO 80202
    720-771-6055

    http://www.chancesdenver.com Owner Mike Villano (known as Mike V. to most folks), former frontman for the band Chaos Theory, calls Chances a "modern sports bar." When he took the space over, he decided to forgo the traditional look of sports bars and instead go for a more stylish look. But while this is a step above your average sports bar, Chances still shows all the games -- and serves the burgers and pizza you expect at lunch and happy hour. At night, however, it it transforms into more of a nightclub/lounge with occasional DJs. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • Charlie Brown

    Charlie Brown's Bar & Grill

    980 Grant St. Denver, CO 80203
    303-860-1655

    http://www.charliebrownsbarandgrill.com There are many reasons to go to Charlie Brown's. The place has a lot of history - seventy-odd years of it. The inside bar feels like an archetypal neighborhood joint, and the patio - big, heated in winter - is one of the very few places left in this city where you can have a cigarette with your beers and still feel like you're actually inside. And then there's the kitchen, which does a decent job on a huge menu offering everything from breakfast burritos to a lobster dinner. A corner piano bar is where locals drop by to offer sauced renditions of Tin Pan Alley songs or just consume strong cocktails. Once favored by Jack Kerouac and Neal Cassady, Charlie's now draws one of Denver's most diverse crowds, including art students, career drinkers and singers who turn up for karaoke.

  • Charlie

    Charlie's Denver

    900 E. Colfax Ave. Denver, CO 80218
    303-839-8890

    http://www.charliesdenver.com This cowboy-themed gay bar also has outposts in Phoenix, Las Vegas and Chicago, but you don't have to wrangle cows or wrestle steers to feel at home. Charlie's offers a sit-down bar, a stage for its weekly (and very popular) drag shows, and a fenced-in outdoor patio that's the happening place to sit when Colorado's famous sunshine is making an appearance. You'll also find two dance floors at Charlie's, so if you don't feel like line-dancing or two-stepping on a particular evening, there are always alternatives -- and if you don't know the first thing about line-dancing or two-stepping but think you might enjoy them, Charlie's offers lessons. There's something going on every night of the week, whether it's karaoke, a half-off drink specials night, or a night when your drink specials depend on your taking it half off: On Fridays and Saturdays, shirtless men get half off well drinks, and on Show It! Mondays, guys in their skivvies get special prices on well drinks, call drinks and bottled beer. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • The Cheeky Monk

    The Cheeky Monk

    534 E. Colfax Ave. Denver, CO 80203
    303-861-0347

    http://www.thecheekymonk.com Can an upscale Belgian beer cafe work on one of the weirdest, wildest stretches of Colfax Avenue? Absolutely. Not only is the Cheeky Monk a destination restaurant for all you European beer snobs looking for unpronounceable brews made by monks who've dedicated their lives to Jesus and zymurgy, but it also happens to be a great place to sample the rather unique cuisine of the Benelux -- all mussels and frites and sausages and some of the best sauerkraut ever made. You can thank the folks who brought us a true Brit pub in Aurora -- the Royal Hilltop -- for giving Colfax this cheeky concept. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • Cherry

    231 Milwaukee St. Denver, CO 80206
    303-362-1145

    http://www.cherrydenver.com After taking over the spot at 231 Milwaukee, which was once the home of Bar Luxe, the Milwaukee Grill and the Bay Wolf, the owner of Wicked Garden in Larimer Square opened it as Cherry in December 2011. Billed as a "luxury dance parlor," Cherry is geared toward thirty- to fifty-somethings, not the younger crowds that favor LoDo. It also sports custom-made cedar liquor lockers, offers bottle service and has a private VIP room. While there are a few other addresses in Cherry Creek that have dance cabaret licenses, this 300-capacity spot is the only one in the area really using it to its fullest.

  • City Hall

    City Hall

    1144 Broadway Denver, CO 80203
    303-832-8628

    http://www.coclubs.com City Hall is part of the SoCo (South of Colfax) nightlife district, which also controls Funky Buddha, Milk and Vinyl, among others. City Hall, though, operates as more of an events venue and less of a nightclub. Although the large, outdoor space hosts an occasional rave, it is far more likely to be the location for a special, eclectic event, anything from a politician's election party to a film screening where patrons can view their favorite movie under the stars.

  • Club M

    Club M

    700 E. 17th Ave. Denver, CO 80203
    303-832-1333

    http://www.hamburgermarysdenver.com Since its opening in 2005, this branch of the Hamburger Mary's franchise has grown to include a nightclub. Club M, as it's been dubbed, features specialty nights ranging from drag-queen bingo to beer pong. Throughout the year, there's a wide range of other special events taking place, including themed drag shows, comedy and dance parties. Club M also hosts upscale food and spirit tastings and offers food and drink specials that are anything but bank-busting. The club, which occasionally presents high-end classical music, also has an opulent banquet room for private events and a jumbo screen for film. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>

  • The Compound

    The Compound

    145 Broadway Denver, CO 80203
    303-722-7977

    http://www.compounddenver.com Open from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week, 365 days a year, the Compound's corner-bar (and gay-bar) legacy is just that: a twenty-plus-year run as a drinking place that barely closes. Weekday patrons start rolling in from hospital night shifts to take advantage of the early opening (and a 7 a.m. happy hour), while rowdier nighttime crowds looking to dance come later to shut the bar down. Bold purple walls and black plastic-tiled floors run throughout the front room, where a small bar services pool- and darts-playing patrons and those looking to socialize in the newly renovated tall vinyl booths. Just through a cavernous opening sits a giant wooden dance floor with a DJ booth perched high above, and Friday nights find the space wall-to-wall with sweaty bodies filing in from a line that often forms around the south Broadway building. Just outside of the dance room's glass doors is a smoking patio, heated in the fall and winter months for year-round use. The only odd accoutrement of the Compound is its wall of lockers for personal item storage. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
