Here's a video of Obama shaking hands and greeting people along 15th Street, including Johnny Ballen, owner of Squeaky Bean(he shows up at 2:40, and gets to tout his restaurant):
Once Obama reached the Wynkoop, which Hickenlooper founded 25 years ago when he was an out-of-work geologist, the President and the Governor headed to the bar and ordered a couple of beers ("possibly IPAs based on the appearance, but the pool could not hear their order," according to the White House pool reporter) and then went to the second floor for a game of pool.
Things started off slow, with Hickenlooper joking, "Let's get the press out of here." And as the reporter made moves to leave, the President really started to sink multiple shots, eventually winning the game. "Did you record that?" he asked the pool reporter.
This morning Obama delivered an invitation-only speech in Cheesman Park, and this afternoon he will be attending a Democratic fundraiser. And in the months leading up to the November election, there's a good chance that Hickenlooper will get a rematch with the President.
