Bar in Denver
Showing 89 - 110 of 161The Majestic Saloon somehow feels larger than the modest space it occupies in a strip mall off Parker Road. There’s a lot packed into the place: pool tables, a jukebox, a shuffleboard table and a small stage that hosts weekly karaoke sessions and occasional live performances. The bar’s menu is equally ambitious and boasts a […]
Capitol Hill is changing quickly – or maybe not in the case of Marion Street Tavern, which took four years to open after the 2012 closing of the late, lamented Gabor’s in the same location. But there’s no doubt that those changes, slow though they were, are dramatic. The owners of Edgewater’s Providence Tavern took […]
For more than forty years, Marilyn Megenity hosted the town’s most eclectic party at the Mercury Cafe, her club/cafe/community gathering place. Although it’s now owned by entrepreneur Danny Newman, he’s vowed to keep the Merc instact as an institution known as much for its enlightening entertainment options – plays, poetry slams, tango parties – as […]
Middleman is the epitome of new-school cool on Colfax. The bar staffers are some of the best in town, and they’re not afraid to get playful with both their service and their cocktails. But you’ll be equally satisfied if you prefer to sip on a cold Montucky or pound beer-and-shot combos. Making this stop even […]
While owners Dean and Aimee Valdez and Noah Heaney wanted their Golden bar to tip a hat to the area’s historic mining days through the facade and indoor decor, the offerings here taste nothing like a dram of whiskey did back in 1859. With 24 taps and more than fifty bottles of beer, guests can […]
Known by townies as “the local cure,” the Holiday Bar is a relatively undiscovered treasure in downtown Morrison. Bikers know about it — you’ll often find them packing the bar on weekends to indulge in the cheap beer, strong drinks and live music the Holiday has to offer. The venue includes an expansive smoker-friendly patio […]
Yes, My Brother’s Bar has a fascinating history: The building has housed a bar since the 1870s; Beat inspiration Neal Cassady hung out here when it was Paul’s Place; as My Brother’s Bar, it’s survived with no TVs while playing classical music and serving as a neighborhood joint for the whole city. But the most […]
To find a cafe that offers nearly thirty wines by the glass is always rewarding. To find those offerings in the congenial and homey locale that is Neighbors is nothing short of wonderful. This Park Hill cafe opened in 2011 and has been embraced not only by the neighborhood, but by diners from all over […]
Tucked between a Burlington Coat Factory and the Yard House inside Colorado Mills mall is an unexpected cocktail destination. The Night Owls is a bar connected to Prismajic’s Shiki Dreams, an immersive art installation, though you don’t need a ticket to step inside for a cocktail. The space is filled with forest-like touches and many […]
Phil and Erika Zierke, the owners of Englewood Grand, know how to create a neighborhood staple – and that’s exactly what they did (again) in 2022, when they opened a welcoming watering hole near DU that has everything but a name. You’re likely to find Phil behind the bar at one of his two spots, […]
The Id Est Hospitality group boasts many accolades, including Michelin stars for two of its concepts, Brutø and the Wolf’s Tailor, and a 2024 James Beard Award for Best Restaurateur in the country for founders Kelly and Erika Whitaker. In 2023, it opened a two-in-one restaurant and bar three floors above Tennyson Street. Hey Kiddo […]
What was formerly the Sportsbook Bar & Grill and is now Origins Sports Bar & Grill in Wash Park feels like a hidden oasis, with a door opening to the alleyway and a descent down a flight of stairs. It’s always a great bar for watching any game, thanks to some of the best food […]
The youngest of the Den Corner of restaurants run by Toshi and Yasu Kizaki, Ototo offers a more intimate experience, not to mention robatayaki – skewered meats and vegetables grilled over charcoal. But the concise menu also encompasses other Japanese specialties, whether you’re in the mood for expertly sliced sashimi, a rich bowl of ramen, […]
The Owl is packed with treasures, from license plates to old maps that sit under the bartop glass to a sign from the former Sid King’s strip club. Look up and you’ll see a collection of dollar bills, à la the currently-closed-for-renovations Bucksnort Saloon in Pine. Settle in for a mystery shot, a cold beer […]
Park Center Lounge in Westminster — which touts itself as “the Cheers of North Denver” — is definitely a step back to a time when lounges were carpeted, wood-paneled and not dominated by plasma screens. There are TVs, yes, but the focus here is on the simple cocktails, big menu and well-worn dance floor. A […]
Once home to the Normandy, PS 1515 and the Pink Elephant, the Park House opened at Colfax Avenue and Madison Street in 2012. Located just a few blocks east of the Bluebird Theater, it’s a real neighborhood spot – a comfortable watering hole where you can drop by for a drink or plop yourself in […]
