http://www.cubacubacafe.com Cuba Cuba occupies two conjoined Victorian homes deep in the Golden Triangle - but at its heart, this spot could be smack-dab in Havana. Owner Kristy Socarras Bigelow is a first-generation Cuban-American whose mother fled Castro's revolution for Miami in 1959. Bigelow has re-created her mother's homeland here, in a colorful space that serves muy authentic (and meat-focused) Cuban dishes in the homey dining room. The bright front bar shimmers with activity, from a killer mojito happy hour Monday through Thursday to the last drink of the evening for SoCo club-hoppers. And while, yes, this can sometimes make for a maddening wait, it's totally worth it once a seat has been procured and the plates of plantains, lechon asada and Cuban sandwiches start arriving. And if you must have something to occupy yourself while you wait, Cuba Cuba's bartenders make some of the best, most powerful mojitos in the city. This is as close to Cuba as you can get without boarding a plane - and no visa required. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.denverwrangler.com In the gay community, big, hairy guys are sometimes referred to as "bears." While the Denver Wrangler is one of the city's main bear haunts (and you're bound to see quite a few, some in leather and some wearing Western wear) the place attracts a lot of other guys, especially on the weekends and during its legendary Sunday beer busts, which feature all-you-can-drink Bud Lights from 4 to 8 p.m. The Wrangler's game room has dartboards, arcade games and pool tables, and DJs spin on Saturdays, with rotating themes including high-energy bear dance parties on the second and fourth Saturday of the month. The party spills out onto the outdoor patio during warmer months. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.vcgh.com Open in 2009, Diamond After Dark is an after-hours club for patrons of all types. While poles and stages line the interior, this is not a strip club, like its downstairs neighbors. Instead, it offers an abundance of areas where patrons can dance, as well as lounge. Open from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m., Thursday through Saturday, this is the place the party continues long after dark. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.donsclubtavern.com Don's Club Tavern, one of Denver's longest-surviving dive bars, got a bit of a facelift after the bar's namesake died and the folks behind the Little Pub Company took it over in 2005. And while most of the decor and a lot of the old charm are still intact -- as are some of the serious-about-their-drinking regulars -- it also got a few improvements, such as a big garage door facing Sixth Avenue that opens for warm weather; more booths and tables with stools; a back-patio-length green paint job, aluminum roof and industrial heater; high-def flat-screen televisions; Golden Tee and Silver Strike video games; and touch-screen point-of-sale registers.

http://www.thefaintinggoatpub.com The Fainting Goat took over a building on Broadway that's been a half-dozen restaurants and bars over the years, giving it a good cleaning, fixing the elevator and introducing a menu with an Irish accent. But the best innovation so far has been the bar added to the rooftop patio, which saves the servers (or customers) from having to run down three flights of stairs every time they need another round. And not only does this secluded sky-high spot offer a lovely view of the mountains, but it has wi-fi and ashtrays, since this patio is definitely far enough from the front entrance for smoking to be legal. Not only is this the best rooftop patio in Denver, but it could also be the best place to find your employees playing hooky. The Goat serves up a kind of Irish-American mixed bag of burgers and sandwiches, chicken wings and fingers, inexpensive steaks, "Irish Nachos" (covered in corned beef, natch) and lunchtime fish-and-chips specials.

http://www.funkybuddhalounge.com There's no official dress code at the Funky Buddha Lounge, but if there were, it would probably just be "sexy." A magnet for singles with disposable income and a taste for cosmo cocktails, the Buddha also includes the upstairs Ginger Bar, where live DJs perform for an open-air crowd six nights a week.

http://www.goosetowntavern.com Located across the street from the Bluebird Theater, the Goosetown Tavern draws beer drinkers, pool players and music fans from the East Colfax corridor and beyond. It also pulls a loyal crowd for lunch and dinner. With a fresh-feeling selection of salads, sandwiches and appetizers, the Goose's menu is several cuts above standard pub fare. House-made soups and a fun selection of pizzas are tasty complements to the Tavern's revolving selection of craft, micro-brewed and regional beers. Daily happy-hour specials are another reason to visit this reliable, neighborly staple. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.govnrspark.com If you've ever had fantasies of throwing away everything you've got and moving to some small town in the middle of nowhere, Govnr's Park is just what you'd want the one bar in that town to be. It's the kind of place where, if you're having some problem (be it psychological, marital, political or just a broken-down motorcycle), odds are pretty good there's an expert in the house, the kind of place that will celebrate the presidential inauguration with as much enthusiasm as the football playoffs -- complete with drink specials, extended hours and dirt-cheap grub ranging from burgers to Tater Tots to Mexican fare to slightly more substantial and upscale grub from the grill.

http://www.hornetrestaurant.com Oh, how things change. What was Mary & Lou's Cafe for a million years is now a trendy diner for the new century, full of hip hustle and bustle. The huge, laughter-filled room has a buzz, and the fusion-y menu seems to appeal to cops, artists, businesspeople and frat boys alike. Patrons get a snootful of music with their drinks on Saturdays; finding a seat may not always be easy, but enjoying the sweet bebop combos is almost guaranteed.

http://www.invescofieldatmilehigh.com Sports Authority Field at Mile High is the major sports venue in the city, but Mile High is the only part of the football stadium's name that's stayed consistent during its history. The previous football arena was known simply as Mile High Stadium, and when a new facility was built in 2001, gridiron fans across the city lobbied to keep the old name for the new stadium. Corporate interests won out, and it was dubbed Invesco Field -- but at least they were smart enough to keep part of the old name in a nod at the end: Invesco Field at Mile High. In 2011, Sports Authority claimed the right to name the field, and kept the Mile High part. A few other notable stadium consistencies: The Broncos still play here, and there's still a contrasting bar of seats around the stadium to show you exactly where the mile marker works its magic.

http://www.irishhounddenver.com While the Irish Hound might not be a saccharine vision of the Old Sod, neither is it any old sod's dream of the motherland. Instead, it's simply a classic neighborhood joint with a beautiful and well-stocked mirror-backed long bar, chandeliers like old-fashioned gas lamps and an overall vibe of comforting Irish-Americanism -- like a historic Dublin pub as filtered through a design firm in Gary, Indiana. The menu is nothing special, but it's more than enough if you're looking for a good burger and some simple bar snacks. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.kingaslounge.com Kinga's Lounge is home to many things: poker, live music, comedy acts, karaoke, lots of booze -- and ample patio space to enjoy it. But there is also an extensive, traditional Polish food menu hiding in plain sight amid all the festivities, with a few touches of American bar chow woven in for those content with a cheeseburger or barbecued pork sandwich to back up their vodka shots. Polish food contains as many difficult-to-pronounce strings of consonants as it does spuds, but both are great to try after a few drinks. The Golabki meat-stuffed cabbage rolls are simmered in an entrancing sweet-tart tomato sauce, the house pierogis are packed with spiced ground meat, cheese and savory mashed potatoes, and the grilled kielbasa (handmade from Sawa Meat and Sausage) is delicious in either the fresh white or smoked red version. Kinga's is a jovial watering hole with a full calendar of events every week, but the plethora of Polish provisions is a secret that deserves to be spilled. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.larumba-denver.com With cove lighting illuminating the brushed-steel front and back bars and sweeping color kinetics, La Rumba resembles a liquor-filled laserium. Add to that the award some great club nights - Latin on Fridays and Saturday's Salsa night -- and this Golden Triangle treasure becomes one hot tamale. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.myspace.com/lionslairdenver Small and curiously laid out -- a huge bar takes up more than half the room -- the Lion's Lair has been a Denver rock-and-roll institution since the spot (once a jazz club where Dexter Gordon and Billie Holiday played) started hosting live music in 1991. Local punk, rock and garage bands are most likely to be found on the elevated stage, though hot touring acts such as John Doe, Jonathan Richman and Graham Parker sometimes pack the place, which holds about a hundred people. Regulars drop by for cheap draft beer and the company of an occasionally crusty clientele. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.coclubs.com/venue The bubble chairs that hang from the Living Room's patio roof are a fun addition to this hip wine and tapas bar, which gives the Broadway club scene a needed dose of chill. For the more ambitious, a nifty pre-paid "debit card" and in-house wine preservation system allows you to sample and learn about a range of wines. Weekends are hopping here, but nice happy-hour specials await midtown workers Tuesday through Friday. A great place to take a break from the roar of the club crowd, the Living Room is like home - with way better furniture. With a full wine, beer and cocktail list, Mediterranean-style small plates, a dessert menu to die for, regular pop-ins from the coolest of neighbors and an urban patio perfect for people-watching, you might as well make yourself at home in the Living Room.

Matt LaBarge, owner of hi-dive/Sputnik, took over the former Bulldog Bar space, which was the Monroe Tavern and Mr. Von's Alamo before that, he transformed the spot into a cabin-styled lounge that's inspired by some older bars in Silver Lake area of Los Angeles. As LeBarge says, the Lost Lake is a cool, dark, little wooden lounge loosely reminiscent of the older days. 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.

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.milwaukee-st-tavern.com One of the few sports bars in the heart of Cherry Creek North, the Milwaukee Street Tavern, formerly Legends, seems a bit out of place among the chic stores and restaurants in the area. Like the Cherry Cricket, the place feels very un-Cherry Creek, which is a good thing if you're looking for a chance to get away from other high-priced spots in the neighborhood, have a few drinks and catch a game on one of its many flat screens. The unpretentious spot has decent prices on drinks and serves a good selection of pub grub, including sandwiches and burgers. The tavern also has a mini bowling alley with two lanes.

http://www.nextdoorloungedenver.com After the short-lived Jazzmatazz Lounge closed, the space next to Limon Peruvian restaurant was renovated and transformed into the Next Door Lounge. Will Olson, one of the owners, wanted a place with cheap drinks, good food, a relaxing vibe and an unpretentious atmosphere. And that's essentially what you get at this cozy neighborhood watering hole with exposed brick walls. While Olson says it's not a sports bar, it's run by sports fans, so there are usually specials during football games. And since it's just a stone's throw from St. Joseph Hospital, Next Door offers discount prices on drinks for hospital staff. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
One of Denver's best dives, the Nob Hill Inn has been a drinker's paradise for more than fifty years. It's daunting to think of all the people who have spent hours on the stools there, killing time and waiting for the day to the end. But it's the kind of joint where it's easy to lose track of time. The square-shaped bar makes for easy people-watching, and with some of Colfax's finest camping out there, it's usually entertaining as hell. If Bukowski were still alive, this might be his idea of nirvana. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.ogdentheater.net Built in 1919 by the same person who designed the Bluebird Theater, the Ogden Theatre has gone through a few incarnations since then, including being home to vaudeville acts before becoming a movie theater in 1937. In the early '90s, Doug Kauffman of Nobody in Particular Presents turned it into a music venue. In recent years, the place, which is now being operated by AEG Live, received a major upgrade, including new flooring, a new sound system and a wraparound balcony, making it one of Denver's premier venues for national acts.
