After more than two years of delays, local bar pro Sudhir Kudva and his entourage of investors debuted this combo bar and plant shop in Five Points in 2023. Brightly colored floral murals provide a backdrop to plenty of greenery in the space, where you can pick up a new succulent or philodendron after imbibing […]
This bar’s name was inspired partly by a fire that gutted the space in 2009, and partly by the fact that it’s long and narrow like a matchbox. While the neighborhood has changed a lot since it opened in 2011, the Matchbox has remained a reliable place to score infused shots, cheap (in the best […]
Jimmy Nigg took over the former Salvagetti Bicycle Workshop space on Platte Street in 2013 and transformed it into the Monkey Barrel, which relocated to Tejon Street in 2016 after its former home was sold.

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.

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, […]
This address has held a drinker’s paradise since 1937; it became known as the Nob Hill Inn seventy years ago. It’s the kind of joint where it’s easy to lose track of time…for decades. The square-shaped bar makes for easy people-watching, and with some of Colfax’s finest camping out here, it’s usually entertaining as hell. […]
When owner Sean Kenyon grabbed the address next to award-winning speakeasy Williams & Graham in order to create a more casual bar, he wondered if Occidental would mostly function as a waiting room for its sibling. But this bar has created an identity and a following all its own. Occidental’s punk-rock vibe and open seating […]
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 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 […]
