Featured Bars and Clubs


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.

http://www.opalrestaurant.com In the afternoon, you may find you have Opal to yourself -- which means all the more offerings for you. The laundry list of specials includes two-for-one deals on nigiri and hand rolls, two-for-one hot sake, four-dollar martinis, three-dollar champagne, big Kirins for just $2.50 -- and the incongruous dollar Coronas. Don't ask why, just enjoy. With any luck, you'll be able to enjoy on one of those long, wrap-around couches if you come to the first round of happy hour. Fair warning, though: This place can get packed at night. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
One of Colfax's best dives, the P.S. Lounge feels like not a lot has changed in the past few decades -- at least as far as decor goes. The booths and carpet are a bit worn and a few tables are chipped, but that's part of its charm, as is the old wood paneling in the room where the pool table is. It's old-school without trying to be. Well, except for the jukebox, which is stocked with everything from classics to tunes from the '80s and beyond. The bar is just a few blocks from the Bluebird Theater, making it an ideal place for cheap and stiff drinks before or after a show. Just remember to bring cash: P.S. doesn't accept credit cards.

http://www.theparktavern.com A casual neighborhood spot that's good for families, the Park Tavern serves up a variety of low-priced sandwiches, burgers, Mexican dishes and pizza, plus three separate happy hours, all of which feature two-for-one on all wine, well, draft and bottle beers. The first happy hour begins at 9 a.m. for those who require a little hair of the dog or just a quick pick-me-up with breakfast. Pool tables, televisions and a trivia night help to ensure that patrons will be entertained at all hours. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.petesrestaurants.com One of the many bars and restaurants in the Pete's empire, the Satire Lounge has been a Denver mainstay for nearly five decades. Offering a comforting refuge from the insanity that is East Colfax Avenue, the friendly space is a warm cavern of tall booths, a beautiful bar and a second, separate dining area. Known for a huge menu dominated by its famous Mexican fare, the lounge serves dozens of platters and combination plates consisting of burritos, enchiladas and quesadillas, plus sandwiches and salads, every day, open to close. With no pool tables or TVs to distract its patrons, the Satire's biggest draw is the fact that it's a good old-fashioned lounge -- a place where conversation is the main attraction.

http://www.denverprohibition.com The Roslyn Grill was always one of Denver's most colorful dives, both in its original location on 14th Street and its second home at 504 East Colfax Avenue. But then Jimmy Callahan took over the spot in early 2011, spent a few months "overhauling it without having to do much," and opened it as Prohibition in May 2011. While it's not necessarily a speakeasy, Callahan wanted to make Prohibition a good, classic bar. So he installed a bar in the back that came from a hundred-year-old saloon in Indianapolis and a new mahogany bar in front with a Chicago drink rail. In keeping with the bar's name, the decor includes newspapers from the Prohibition era and a bunch of whiskey "prescriptions." Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.rbardenver.com Although R Bar is on the small side, that's part of its charm. With exposed brick, velvet curtains and subdued lighting, the spot feels a bit warmer than most of the other bars that run along East Colfax in the Bluebird District. It's a great spot for cozying up to someone on a first date or having a few drinks before a show at the Bluebird and trying one of the bar's specialty cocktails, like a mojito, blueberry press or lemon-basil martini. The R Bar's sidewalk patio is ideal for people watching or smoking. And if you get hungry, the bar serves tasty Italian food from Trattoria Stella next door.

http://www.renegadebrewing.com The Art District on Santa Fe is known for arts and crafts, but until Brian and Khara O'Connell showed up, it was missing the art of craft brewing. The couple opened Renegade Brewing in a former vacant warehouse in the summer of 2011 -- one of a string of neighborhood-specific brewpubs that opened around the same time. The gorgeous tasting room boasts exposed brick walls, a bar made from exotic woods, foot rests rescued from old railroad ties, and coat racks made from railroad spikes. It includes a garage door that can swing open and a large window that offers patrons a view of the fifteen-barrel brewing system in back, where there is always something new on tap. Food trucks also serve food here Tuesday - Saturday. See their website for details. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.quixotes.com Live bands stake out Sancho's Broken Arrow on Mondays, but jukebox jockeys normally take care of the music. The Grateful Dead, Jimi Hendrix and more modern jammers are house favorites in this tie-dyed hippie hangout. The place is packed before and after shows at the Fillmore Auditorium next door; otherwise, the vibe is easygoing, roomy and kind. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.skylarklounge.com Regulars at the Skylark Lounge know what a difference a couple of blocks can make: not much. The stalwart watering hole moved in 2003 from its sixty-year home at 58 South Broadway to roomier digs at 140 South, but the revered smoky atmosphere was carefully transferred, along with the pinups and classic Western and sci-fi movie posters that still hang over maroon booths. In fact, there's just more of everything we loved from the old place: more live bands, more parking, and more swaying room -- whether in time with the music or as a result of those generous 'Lark libations. Just don't ask to see the martini specials: The Skylark is for drinkers and dancers, not trendy scenesters. We'll drink to that. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
There are few legendary dives left in Denver, and the Squire is one of them. Nestled into the corner of Williams and Colfax, the sprawling Squire caters to anyone who wants to take in the sights and sounds. It's all in a day's work -- emphasis on day -- in the large space, where windows let in ample light to shine upon the long shuffleboard table, foosball field and mural of Colfax's icons (above the weirdly located booths). By night, the crowd loosens up a bit -- especially on the weekends, or on the Squire's now-famous Tuesday comedy night -- to include all ages and backgrounds. But, yes, even on the busiest night, there's still a pretty good chance you will hear a dude talking to himself while he drinks his cheap Bud. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
The website boasts that it's "a local kind of place," and Stoney's Bar & Grill definitely qualifies. With Colorado game holding down the menu, plenty of Colorado beers on tap, barn wood from Gunnison on the bar and a ski-lift chair from Keystone in the front of the house, Stoney's is a celebration of all things Colorado. Colorado with a Southern accent, since the kitchen also turns out chicken-fried steak and pulled pork, and the bar is a fan base for a couple of Southern teams. For more entertainment, there's a stage devoted to live music and Skee-Ball for those quieter days. Stoney's was brought to life by a team of industry pros, including Will Trautman, who formerly tended bar at Herb's Hideout, and namesake Stoney Jesseph, most recently at Govnr's Park.

The Union Jack flies proudly in the hearts of Streets of London regulars, an Anglophilic bunch of punks, mod fashionistas, Vespa riders and neighborhood subjects. A British pub that thankfully doesn't serve warm beer, Streets has all of the requisite Old World flair, from pulled pints to posters of the Queen. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.tavernhg.com/uptown Like the other Taverns, the Tavern Uptown draws a sizable nightly crowd from the surrounding neighborhoods. Those twenty- and thirty-something professionals pack into the dark bar and expansive back patio for drink specials, televised sporting events and socializing. While many come just for the beers and the party -- which is more mellow Uptown than at the Downtown counterpart -- this Tavern also does a substantial dinner business, serving up a menu of American classics. It also has a popular brunch, when those who spent the previous night getting plowed can return to the scene of their undoing for eggs and bacon and a Bloody Mary.

http://www.thinmantavern.com While this bar's name might be inspired by Dashiell Hammett's detective novel, the Thin Man feels more like a modern-day joint in Brooklyn or the East Village than some film-noir relic. The narrow space is stuffed with countless depictions of Jesus, and Christmas lights provide a major source of illumination in the dim bar, making this a place where merry gentlemen -- and women -- can rest for hours on end, imbibing from the stellar lineup of brews, wines and infused vodkas. The patrons are as eclectic as the decor, and just as entertaining. Praise Jesus! Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.threelionsdenver.com With 6.6 billion people on the earth who view soccer (or football) as their sport of choice, it's surprising there aren't more spots like the Three Lions, which opened in the former Bank Bar & Grill space in August 2011. Billing itself as a world football pub, the Three Lions is modeled after a traditional London style pub, the bar features zones where multiple games are shown on several TVs, an English style "public bar" games area and full lounge dining areas. Schedules and standings are updated daily and there's live MLS coverage daily as well. While it's one home of the English Premier League, the Three Lions also attracts its share of Colorado Rapids fans. The spot has an outstanding selection of drafts, while the kitchen serves traditional English pub fare like fish and chips and shepherd's pie, as well as standard American pub grub like burgers, sandwiches and appetizers.

http://www.spitfire-grill.com If you live in east Denver, you've probably passed the Thunderbird Lounge at the Spitfire Grill a hundred times without really noticing it. From the outside, it looks like any other divey watering hole located in a strip mall. But on the inside, the Spitfire is an unusual mix: a family-friendly restaurant serving new patrons from Lowry on one side has been grafted onto an old-school bar with cheap drinks and a lineup of regulars from Montclair, Hilltop and Virginia Vale on the other. But the cozy booths, frank, friendly service, daily specials and outstanding burgers and wings have turned those families into regulars too. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
As a local rep for PBR, Alissa Anderson visited a quite a few bars in this town. The next logical step was to own a bar of her own. So in October, 2008, she and her husband bought the former Club Boca, which had been vacant for close to a year, did a quick renovation that involved moving the bar to the front near the window, and opened in a flash. Just as quickly, the bar was attracting regulars, especially service-industry folks, and Anderson started bringing in bands, DJs, art shows and a whole lot more. While the place still doesn't have a sign up, it's pretty easy to find: Just look for the neon beer lights and lots of people in the window. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.coclubs.com This basement club is all about the music, which reverberates off the concrete floor. The sparsely furnished Two AM treats decor almost as an afterthought; the sheer wall coverings and translucent art tapestries are functional as well as ornamental. And the lighting's kept low, so you can easily hook up to the DJ's vibe and keep that 2 a.m. state of mind. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.thevikingbar.com Known for decades as the Tap Inn, the Viking still holds it down as a bar-stool oasis along a stretch of West Colfax all but abandoned by other watering holes. Yes, it's a biker bar by definition, but everyone is welcome: Regulars come in the form of blue-collar workers, lawyers, neighborhood day drinkers, and even nearby St. Anthony's Hospital nurses. Parking for bikes is designated front and center, next to an enormous patio for smoking and game-time BBQing, as the working-class joint is not shy about its Broncos pride. Truly a landmark, the rough-but-sweet staff at the Viking will happily give a Colfax history lesson to anyone who bellies up to its bar. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.mountainsunpub.com Vine Street Pub, one of the Mountain Sun spots, is now brewing its own beer, which makes it a particularly welcome hangout in Denver’s City Park neighborhood. The three pubs are a front for a microbrewery, and they each maintain a line of about twenty taps for the Sun's own solid, award-winning craft beers. During happy hour, hippies, hikers and lawn-game enthusiasts can indulge in $3 pints of heady IPAs and nitro stouts, supplemented by bar fare that pragmatically provides both bacon and beer-baked tempeh for the conscious eaters who frequent these establishments.

http://www.coclubs.com Vinyl is a four-story behemoth of a dance club, with three floors all featuring different music (including house, electronica, hip-hop, R&B and Top 40) and an uber-swanky lounge for those who just want to chill and have a drink. The club brings in national hip-hop acts on Fridays and internationally known DJs on Saturdays. Vinyl's rooftop patio offers some great views of Denver's skyline.
