The Six Horniest Bars in Denver

Valentine’s Day is this Saturday — if you’ve found yourself bae-less and feeling a little feral, there are plenty of bars around Denver where you can get your freak on. Whether you’re single and ready to mingle, polyamorous and on the prowl, or just flirting for sport, we’ve deemed these spots the horniest bars in the Mile High City:

Don’s Club Tavern
723 East Sixth Avenue
This nearly eighty-year-old dive bar is typically packed to the brim with bros in backwards ball caps and girls in oversized leather jackets paired with teeny tiny tops. The vibe is loud, crowded and slightly unhinged. Fair warning: you might catch a couple feeling each other up on the back patio.

There are plenty of ways to break the ice at Don’s — over a round of pool, a game of Skee-Ball or $4 pickle shots. Through February 22, Don’s is running a $16 shot ski special, so grab a buddy and two hot strangers and line it up. 

Larimer Lounge
2721 Larimer Street
The freaks come out at night, and Larimer Lounge is proof. By 11 p.m., this dance club is typically dark, sweaty and pulsing with house beats thanks to a rotating lineup of DJs and bands.

In addition to a sprawling back patio (which, by the way, is the perfect spot for catching your breath, or locking eyes with a prospect), the lounge has two rooms with completely different vibes. On the one side, you’ll find couches and chairs to chat with your boo thing, or strike up a conversation with a mysterious stranger. On the other is the dimly lit dance floor with a stage and a DJ booth, where personal space is more of a suggestion, and you’re bound to run into a few drunken make-out opportunities. 

MDE Lounge
30 South Broadway
Para nuestra gente Latino (don’t worry, gringos are welcome, too), MDE Lounge is the place if you’re looking to bump and grind. There’s always reggaeton and EDM playing, and people dancing real close. With plush seating, a packed dance floor, and sensual beats pulsing through the room, the club channels the energy of Medellín’s nightlife scene, where the music is loud and the bodies are always moving.

The Pearl
2195 California Street
Equal parts cozy cafe and late-night playground, this sapphic spot has no shortage of steamy programming for its patrons. Check out its Butch-lorette event on February 13 if you’re looking for a new lover — ten potential matches will compete for one lucky contestant’s heart; or this bondage class on March 7 to learn the ropes. Whether you’re sipping coffee at 3 p.m. or dancing until 2 a.m., the potential to get lucky is always lingering in the air.

Star Bar
2137 Larimer Street
If you’re looking for a good time, wade through the debaucherous downtown crowd to visit Star Bar. The staff at this beloved downtown dive has been rolling out some cheeky social media videos recently that hint at the good vibes that await inside this watering hole. Loosen up with one of the bar’s recently released cocktails ($12 each) like the Sabrina Carpenter espresso martini or a spicy marg, then work up the nerve to ask a stranger to duet with you; or skip the foreplay and go straight for a beer and a shot. Be careful, though, we’ve personally witnessed many a friend leave arm-in-arm with their karaoke partner after a drunken rendition of “Mr. Brightside.”

Tracks
3500 Walnut Street
As far as LGBTQ+ bars go in Denver, Tracks might be the horniest (we’ve witnessed unspeakable things on that dance floor). With multiple rooms blasting different music genres, go-go dancers on stage, and drinks that don’t skimp on the pour, it’s a perfect storm for the best kind of poor decision-making. 

The programming only cranks things up with events like its Kink Tasting Menu on February 13, billed as Denver’s largest fetish ball, complete with a wax play station and a latex lounge. Come curious, stay hydrated, and don’t expect to leave (consensually) untouched.
