In 2022, the team behind the Electric Cure, a quirky and irreverent Edgewater bar, opened Honor Farm, dubbing it “Denver’s haunted spirit house” and embracing the building’s spooky history. Shortly after, a small tiki-centric hideaway was added on the mezzanine that’s designed to emulate a haunted gay pirate ship. Expect plenty of penis totems, intimate […]

The ’Shoe, as its motley crew of regulars calls it, is a powerhouse bar in the Uptown neighborhood filled with vintage furniture and a bar top made of thousands of dice. The joint gets jumping with all sorts of folks venturing in and out of downtown on the weekends. Order a beer and a shot […]
This spot in the former Pete’s Patio Bar is a kitschy mix of rustic simplicity and retro elegance with solid bar fare and live music. Inga’s was inspired by a Swedish ski cabin, and the battle-scarred hardwood floors look as though they’ve been deliberately dented by the stomp of ski boots. Meanwhile, tufted, swiveling, brass-studded […]
While the number of Irish bars in Denver has dwindled over the years, the Rover is still going strong. Open since 2005, it’s the perfect place to catch a Saturday-afternoon buzz, preferably kicked off with a proper pint of Guinness. On cold winter days, the comfy pub offers refuge, while its rooftop patio beckons when […]
The spirits at this RiNo distillery are brought to life in custom-made stills and include genièvre, rye aquavit, rum, absinthe, whiskey and even a gin made with ponderosa pine needles sourced from a tree growing on the tasting room’s 10,000-square-foot, dog-friendly patio. Sip on a local beer or an option from a heavy-hitting drink list […]

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 for women ($20 for men) on Friday nights. 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 […]
There’s no question that Jake’s Roadhouse in Arvada is biker-friendly, with an emphasis on the “friendly.” You’re bound to see a fair amount of black leather on any given day, especially on the weekends, but like everyone else, those wearing it come to Jake’s to have a good time and take advantage of the bar’s […]
If you prefer to enjoy your game-time beers surrounded by aquariums and high-definition televisions, or if you’re looking for a spot to enjoy pre-concert drinks before heading to Fiddler’s Green, JD’s Bait Shop has got you covered. As the name suggests, it’s not exactly a high-brow place: The atmosphere is semi-divey, the menu features mostly […]
Jimmy’s Urban Bar & Grill joined LoDo’s lineup of restaurants in spring 2013. The 1500 block of Blake Street may have more restaurants per square foot than any other stretch in the city, and many restaurants have come and gone: Indian restaurants, Mexican restaurants, hot dog restaurants, Moroccan restaurants, Caribbean restaurants, sushi restaurants. But chef/owner […]

The Kentucky Inn, one of the oldest bars in the West Wash Park neighborhood, closed in July 2017 for a remodel and the installation of a new kitchen. Inside, decades of cigarette-smoke stains were scrubbed away, new floors and wood paneling were installed, and a billiards room was added at the back. The original Kentucky […]
Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. But at least the fern bars and private clubs of the ’70s and ’80s were done up in style, making a little (or a lot of) historical pilfering perfect for a new generation of LoHi bar-goers. Forest green, burnished gold, palm trees and cherrywood finishes can […]
The Lakewood Grill has been around even longer than the city of Lakewood itself. The bar was built in 1950 and poured its first drinks (officially) in 1951, back when this stretch of West Colfax was just unincorporated Jefferson County. Lakewood became a city in 1969, and the Grill was there for that, too. Through […]

Where else but the Lancer Lounge could get away with having the Dirty Dancing soundtrack blaring — unironically — over the din of grizzled drinkers circling round the bar and pool balls knocking heads in the next room? This classic dive sticks out like the best kind of sore thumb, with a vibe not unlike […]
Serious drinks and playful eats are always served at the Lobby, a neighborhood cafe in a century-old hotel a ball’s throw from Coors Field. With a menu of tongue-in-cheek comfort food and a collection of local spirits and craft beers makes the Lobby a destination for pre-game and post-game revelry – or regret.
Denver has its share of neighborhood sports bars, but you’d be hard pressed to find any that serve Vietnamese food as good as Long Shots Bar & Grill in Wheat Ridge. Eating noodle bowls or spring rolls in a dive bar might sound like a bizarre juxtaposition, but somehow it works. But if you want […]
Located on the third floor of the Denver Pavilions, Lucky Strike is part bowling alley, part retro restaurant, part nighttime hangout. The hip venue delivers full-scale fun as ’50s kitsch meets 21st-century technology, with the kitchen serving up respectable bar chow like poutine, mini-corn dogs, and bacon-and-egg burgers. Rounding things out are sandwich cookies with […]
