After sixty years, Jerry Feld sold his beloved Club 404, and in February 2012, the place reopened as Denver Wheel Club 404. But that incarnation never really got on a roll, and in November 2012, 404 Broadway changed ownership again. It’s been bought by Kevin Geraghty, owner of the defunct (and still missed) Brendan’s Pub, […]
The most obvious thing you’ll notice about Brooklyn’s is the location: Situated immediately across from the Pepsi Center, its proximity to the game is a big draw on its own. But Brooklyn’s is also a great sports bar — spacious and full of so many high-definition TVs, you’ll never miss a second of any event. […]
How do poodles and heavy metal mesh? The unlikely combo somehow works at the Brutal Poodle, opened in early 2018 by Wes Moralez, Ryan Oakes and David “Yosh” Yoshikawa, members of Denver band Son Survivor. Beyond the goofy, dog-themed art on the walls and the (just loud enough) tracks pumping from the sound system, good […]
This saloon is a popular spot for music, imbibing and patio-sitting – and while you’re soaking up the sun or knocking one back, you’re bound to get hungry. Fortunately, Cactus Jack’s has a solid menu of bar food, with a Mexican plate or two for good measure. Taking center stage are the dozen-plus Widespread Burgers, […]

Bonnie Brae is a neighborhood that’s seen a lot of changes in recent years, with the loss of the Bonnie Brae Tavern and the Saucy Noodle, but Campus Lounge remains – even after a number of ownership changes. It was founded by the late Jim Wiste (a retired pro hockey player and DU Pioneers alum) […]
This friendly neighborhood bar is beloved by residents of all stripes in the Wash Park area. Once a seedy, smoky dive, the place has been spruced up over the years – but consistency and simplicity are key. You can count on no-frills, tasty pub grub, including a great basic bar burger. The warm glow of […]
The last word of the name Casselman’s Bar & Venue really tells you what you need to know: This is a venue, above all, and a huge one, located on a warehouse-y stretch of Walnut Street in the Ballpark neighborhood. While the venue brings in an assortment of acts throughout the week, the space can […]
The Castle rules in south Denver. Yes, the building even looks like a castle, and the sunken bar is sided by captain’s chairs that make for a royally fun day or night of imbibing. The vibe is relaxing and unpretentious, as are the patrons. Snag a twenty-ounce personalized mug for $20, good for a lifetime […]

When Union Station was renovated a decade ago, the mezzanine was turned into one of the most enchanting bars in town: the Cooper Lounge. In 2024, the elegant drinking destination got a refresh of its own that somehow made it even more lush. It’s a great place to meet up with friends from out of […]
Notorious for its dancing-on-the-bar female bartenders, made famous by the movie of the same name, the Denver branch of the New York institution doesn’t disappoint. For those looking for some eye candy to augment their booze, this noisy joint is always lively.
Kyle and Angelique Moyer opened the Crafty Fox in February 2016 on the same corner as their liquor store, Bogey’s Beer & Wine. The couple is putting their industry connections to good use by bringing in rare, seasonal and one-off kegs from top breweries not just in Colorado, but from all over the U.S. – […]
There’s no denying that Crimson & Gold is a college bar; that would be impossible, since this joint is right next to the University of Denver. But it’s also a reliable neighborhood restaurant, with lots of room for families and other big groups, a 1,400-square-foot back patio and a menu that appeals to just about […]
Metal, mostly meat-free food (along with a damn good meaty burger) and a reverence for death are all on full display at this spot founded by longtime Tooey’s employee Priscilla Jerez and business partners Chris Maynard and Dale Canino in 2022. A destination for live music and late-night revelry, it has a smoking patio out […]

Situated in a strip mall not far from Cherry Creek Reservoir, the Dam Grille is pretty damn serious about sports, boasting more than a dozen HD TVs and a 100-inch projector screen within its confines. There’s a horseshoe-shaped bar in the good-sized room, along with plenty of seating for those watching a game. That bar […]
In 2001, Devon’s made the change from cigar shop to cigar shop and classy pub. The establishment shortened its humidor to make space for imbibing patrons but left plenty of good cigar choices for customers to enjoy. One of the few smoking lounges left in town, Devon’s offers a fine selection of stogies, and with […]
This Uptown bar from the women-owned group behind such hits as the Horseshoe Lounge, the Embassy Tavern and more has aesthetically pleasing design details like tiger-print wallpaper.
