Reader support matters more than ever
We're in the final stretch of our summer campaign. Our goal is to raise $25,000 by August 9 to support the journalism our community relies on. Reader support is helping shape the future of local news.
You could once find the city’s best dive bars along Larimer Street, but gentrification has claimed most of those, leaving only the Star Bar at 2137 Larimer and now El Charrito, which has made a comeback at 2100 Larimer. This longtime Larimer haunt is only open after 7 p.m., and a sign on the door reserves the right to change hours at whim — but when that door’s unlocked, it leads to one of Colorado’s classic dives.
(For the record, although we love Herb’s, just across and down the street at 2057 Larimer, in no way does this live music and martini mecca qualify as a dive, as its fans suggest.)
