Featured Bars and Clubs


http://www.jacksonsdenver.com LoDo partiers looking to start a night strong will find their gateway to blackout at Jackson's, which features a $10 all-you-can-drink deal during its nighttime happy hour. Hordes of twenty-somethings and baseball-game-goers pack the bar and vast rooftop patio, putting down Coors Light, well vodka and Jim Beam with a vengeance while fist-pumping to the likes of Journey before heading out for more bar-hopping. It's conveniently located directly across the street from Coors Field, making it ground zero for Rockies pre-gaming and the perfect post-game place to celebrate - or commiserate - over a drink with friends. A small DJ booth is set up just inside the entryway and manned by a DJ playing everything from today's Top 40 hits to classic rock. With a spacious ground-level patio complete with an AstroTurf floor, the stadium atmosphere is unmistakable. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.jakesdenver.com There's not really a Jake behind Jake's Food & Spirits. This neighborhood joint's name was actually inspired by the abstract notion of a guy, maybe a Jake, who everyone knows and likes. Open for lunch, dinner and late-night dining, Jake's comes alive at night; the place usually has some sort of entertainment happening most nights of the week, whether it be comedy, karaoke, trivia, live music or DJs. A mile and a half from Coors Field in the RiNo Arts District, Jake's feels like an oasis of cool that's far enough away from LoDo to feel disconnected from downtown.

http://www.jazzatjacks.com Since Jazz@Jack's is co-owned and operated by the cats in the contemporary jazz band Dotsero, they bring in like-minded bands, as well as funk, blues and R&B acts every night of the week. Folks who dig their jazz a bit on the light side, will most like feel right at home this spot on the third floor of the Denver Pavilions. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.thejethotel.com During the day, it doubles as the lobby of the Jet Hotel in LoDo, but once it gets dark, the Jet Lounge transforms into a hip nightlife spot. On weekends, when DJs spin dance music, the stylish lounge fills up quickly, with lines out the door; there's much more of chilled-out vibe during the week. With its subdued lighting, cozy couches and VIP bottle service, the Jet Lounge attracts a younger, trendy crowd and occasional local and national celebrities. It's easily one of the best spots in LoDo to people-watch, and a talented staff of bartenders can whip up an assortment of signature cocktails. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.jeatbar.com What's the quickest way to win diners over? Serve them a gigantic bowl of perfectly cooked French fries drenched in a macaroni-and-cheese-based bechamel and detailed with chives and chunks of bacon, a dish that will instantly shoot straight to the top of anyone's guilty-favorites list. From there, Jonesy's menu goes off in some unusual directions, but the food is generally strong, the room very neighborhood-y and the vibe far cooler than any self-proclaimed "gastropub" has a right to display. Jonesy's also books private parties in the main dining area and more intimate gatherings in the wine cellar for up to sixteen people. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.katiemullens.com For years, Denver has been aching for a real, serious Irish pub. With Katie Mullen's, it didn't just get one, it got four - thanks to this huge space inside the Sheraton and clever architecture that allowed the endeavor to sprout four differently styled bars covering a good swath of Hibernian drinking history. It also opened with a custom tap system guaranteeing you the best possible pint of Guinness in the city, and a kitchen fitted out for serving three meals a day of honest-to-jaysus Irish cuisine - everything from fish and chips to bangers and mash to boxty, shepherd's pie and Jameson whiskey.

http://www.vcgh.com/site/clubs/CO_denver_LABOHEME/ La Boheme has gone through a few changes over the years since it took over the original home of the Red Garter. Today it's a lovingly crafted gentlemen's cabaret, filled with exotic dancers and a steakhouse featuring extensive wine lists and a large collection of fine cigars. Service-industry nights and benefits line La Boheme's calendar throughout the year, and ample parking makes it easy to pop in for a quick bite or to simply watch the dancers at work.

http://www.lannies.com A legendary singer in Denver for decades, Lannie Garrett knows how to keep folks entertained. And she brings the same enthusiasm she has for performing to her club, a riotously decorated space (thank Lonnie Hanzon for that) located in the basement of the D&F Clocktower. While Garrett performs regularly here, sometimes with a big band or the Gypsy Swing Revue, she also brings in a variety of other acts, everything from burlesque, comedy and magic to live R&B, blues, jazz and rock. Depending on the night's entertainment lineup, the dimly lit, intimate club can be an ideal spot for dates and anniversaries -- or a raucous bachelorette party. Generally, there are shows Wednesday through Saturday night. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.larimerlounge.com The Larimer Lounge does one thing better than anyone else in the area: It brings the rock. Sure, the venue has brought in indie rock progenitors like Sonic Youth’s Thurston Moore and Sebadoh, it’s also seen acts like Arcade Fire and Bat for Lashes who have since outgrown the venue. Aside from a variety of national acts who come through every month, Larimer Lounge brings in a number of local bands as well. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.lavishdenver.com Once the home of the original Purple Martini location in the late '90s and more recently Le Rouge, Lavish is an upscale lounge that caters primarily to a fairly hip and energetic younger crowd. As its name implies, it's an ultra-stylish spot with modern decor and specialities such as VIP booths, bottle service and an extensive selection of martinis and cocktails. DJs spin a few nights a week, and there's a small dance floor that can fill up fairly quickly later in the evening. While it's a hot spot for nightlife, Lavish is also a decent place for dinner, with a menu that includes appetizers, salads, grilled salmon, braised short ribs and grilled medallions of beef.

http://www.lodosbarandgrill.com Lodo's is renowned for its stunning rooftop bar, within throwing distance of Coors Field, and its cheap drinks. But it also deserves praise for its sizable menu, which offers something for everyone, including such off-the-beaten-path (or at least baby steps off the beaten path) selections like Kobe beef sliders, turkey served on a pretzel roll, and ahi tuna on wonton crisps. Want to really enjoy the Rockies? Watch the ballpark from prime patio seating here while you down a burger and beer, and thumb your nose at the hapless crowd surging toward you when the game lets out. The bar also has locations in Highlands Ranch and Westminster, helping to bring a bit of LoDo to the 'burbs. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.bowlluckystrike.com Located on the third floor of the Denver Pavilions, Lucky Strike is part bowling alley, part retro restaurant, part nighttime hangout. The spot is full-scale fun as '50s kitsch meets 21st-century technology. It's a hip venue that serves up respectable bar chow. 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 -- complete with flying birds -- that branches out in the middle of the room at Mario's Double Daughter's Salotto. Intimate, dark and mysterious, the Salotto is a sensory treat that could easily find its way into a Tim Burton or David Lynch movie. There's a pleasant happy hour, as well as progressive DJs most nights of the week (the volume is usually low enough for patrons to converse without yelling). This is one of the few spots in LoDo where you can walk through the doors and completely forget you’re in Denver. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
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 >>
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 intimate spot is well suited to singer-songwriters and acoustic acts who thrive in small places, where they can better connect with the audience, and while it's a go-to spot for both indie-rock frontmen playing rare acoustic sets and louder groups, it’s also a great place to see up-and-coming acts during weekly open-mic nights and outstanding players during its weekly jazz jams.

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 >>
Yes, My Brother's Bar has a fascinating history: oldest still-operating bar in Denver, Neal Cassady hangout, yadda yadda, etc. Yes, in its current incarnation it's a beloved and anachronistic neighborhood institution that plays classical music, caters to a demographically mixed crowd of crusty old-timers, serious drinkers, families, artists and transplants, and from its stubby galley kitchen offers a strange diner-slash-taproom-cum-lunchwagon menu. But when a burger is this good - and the kitchen cooks 'em up until 1 a.m. - you just don't need anything more. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.myntmojitolounge.com Public lounging is a nightly pastime at Mynt, where comfy couches cushion the well-tailored hides of LoDo loyalists. Live DJs spin the body electric every Thursday. Decorated to suit its name -- the place is greener than Kermit -- Mynt is mojitos-and-martini heaven. Several beer choices also augment a small food menu. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
Nallen’s Irish Pub opened in 1992 and was a neighborhood mainstay long before other bars invaded the 1400 block of Market Street. The family-operated, no-frills spot feels more like an authentic Irish pub than a trendy LoDo bar. Since Nallen’s isn’t overwhelmed with a lot of TVs showing sporting events, it’s easier to concentrate on the drinking here. The bar serves a mean pint of Guinness, along with a decent array of U.K. brews like Smithwick’s and domestic and local beers. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.noraddancebar.com NORAD, which moved into the former 2200 space, is the prime spot for mature dance music. What does that mean, exactly? It means that it's for people who know and love electronic music and haven't become jaded by the mainstream takeover. The biggest names in the underground dance-music scene come here, and the parties run late into the night. The sound system is comparable to those at Denver's biggest clubs, and the location is such that once you get to NORAD, you won't want to go anywhere else. Read more about this Denver bar or club >>
http://www.denveroasis.com If your idea of an oasis involves belly dancers, salsa and pole dancing lessons alongside Mediterranean mezzes and liberal libations, Oasis Bar & Lounge might be just the watering hole you've been waiting for. Equal parts restaurant, lounge and dance club, Oasis has an international crowd and something happening nearly every night of the week. The best drink specials are on Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday; the place is bumping with LoDo revelers on Fridays and Saturdays. Hit the weekly Wednesday customer-appreciation night or Sunday gentlemen's game night for $2 well drinks and a $2 bar menu sampler, which includes lebneh, hummus, baba ganoush, grape leaves and other Mediterranean classics.
