After a long run as the Golden Cue and a brief stint as Chasers, the owner of JR’s Silver Bullet in Thornton and England native Rob Kirk opened @ Cheers in March, 2011. While the place still hangs on to some of its charm when it was the Golden Cue (yes, there are still plenty […]
Just when you think Olde Town Arvada might be turning a little too precious, you stumble into the dark and down-home 12 Volt Tavern, an old dive that harks back to the days when factory workers would stop in for a shot before heading home. Today this is a true rock-and-roll joint, with a good […]
The 1UP has branched out to three locations in the Denver area, but it’s the Colfax Avenue location that’s closest to our circuit boards. Sure, the longtimers wax poetic about the days when the 1UP hosted live music – and they’re right – but we dare you to find a better place for cheap suds, […]
Opened in March 2011, the 1UP Arcade Bar is an arcade, bar and restaurant with locations in Lodo and on Colfax Avenue. Vintage arcade games, Skee-Ball, pinball machines and cutting-edge multi-player video games are the main draw. The Greenwood Village outpost of 1UP opened in December 2018.
Opened in March 2011, the 1UP LoDo is an arcade, bar and restaurant. Located just half a block from Coors Field, the place features more than thirty vintage arcade games, all from 1985 and earlier, including Pac-Man, Tetris, Galaga, Mortal Kombat and Tron. Named after the green mushroom that you earn in Mario Brothers when […]

In 2016, bar pros Corey Costello, Sudhir Kudva and Michael Reilly resurrected this long-vacant Five Points joint that was originally owned by Charles Cousins. The 715 was in its prime in the 1940s, and closed in the ’80s after becoming a run-down shell of its former glorious self. Now it’s an appropriately divey neighborhood bar […]
Call it the luck of the Irish: With the Abbey Tavern, Glen Eastwood has managed to create a pub that’s better than the sum of its parts. The former general manager of a couple of Irish bars around town, Eastwood turned an old florist’s shop on East Colfax into a true hangout for Park Hill, […]
Since alcohol put Golden on the map, it’s not surprising that one of the area’s best dive bars is located in this town. Bar fans have been living it up at the Ace-Hi since Leo Stillman purchased the old Opera House restaurant on historic Washington Avenue and opened the bar back in 1961. Leo’s son, […]
When you stumble off the 16th Street Mall and into the Appaloosa, a cheerful, independently owned spot, odds are good that you’ll hit a happy hour, because the Appaloosa’s happy-hour schedule is expansive — almost as expansive as the drinks are inexpensive. And you can down those drinks while listening to live music every night […]
Those of us who lamented the closing of restaurant mogul Robert Thompson’s groundbreaking Argyll in Cherry Creek worried about how the concept would survive the transition to Uptown, where the restaurant finally reopened in June 2014. Would his gastropub — now named Argyll Whisky Beer — feel pass

Named for the Arsenal soccer team’s fan store, the Armoury opened in early 2013 as an Old World pub that focused on soccer, spirits heavy on beer and browns, and a live-music lineup featuring punk, post-punk and indie-rock acts. But within a year of opening, the bar was focusing less on soccer, and the live […]
The Arvada Tavern opened in 1933, not long after the repeal of Prohibition, and was issued the first liquor license in Arvada. A dive for decades, the tavern received a facelift in 2013 under new ownership while still holding on to the building’s vintage charm. More upscale now, it serves a variety of vintage cocktails […]
Avogadro’s Number in Fort Collins could be described as offbeat and off the beaten track. The venue’s warmly lit stage area is painted with a stunning mural that circles the room with people, stars and planets, and the crowd reflects the folksy, friendly vibe of the music calendar: lots of bluegrass, country and rock acts, […]
A Colorado club mainstay, Babe’s Nightclub (previously House of Babes) has been bringing the white- and blue-collar crowds together at its bar top for over two decades. The family-owned spot for day drinkers and game watchers turns into a full-fledged nightclub on the weekends, playing reggaeton, rap and Top 40 to a packed dance floor. […]
Opening a Wisconsin-themed bar in Colorado isn’t necessarily a bad ploy if you want an instant customer base; after all, Great Lakes transplants just might outnumber Denver natives in hip neighborhoods like Baker. But you don’t have to like cheese curds or Old Milwaukee to have a good time at Badger’s, which replaced the aging […]

In 2004, this former Volkswagen shop was refitted as a bar with a massive garage door at the front, cement floors and a large, open patio. Since then, its divey vibes have made it a neighborhood favorite where crowds gather for First Friday. Whether you shoot a game of pool or play darts, or just […]
The opening of Bar 404 in December 2021 is just the latest chapter in this spot’s long history. Built in 1929, it became a bar the day after Prohibition ended in 1933. In 1951, it was purchased by Jerry Feld, who ran the place for sixty years as Club 404. The building was briefly Denver […]
When Leigh Jones – of Horseshoe Lounge fame – bought the Recovery Room a decade ago, she overhauled it completely. The resulting Bar Car looks a little nondescript, but the rustic interior, with its old-timey railroad theme, is a pleasant surprise. Also pleasantly surprising, given Colorado Boulevard’s penchant for chains, is that the Bar Car […]
Long a staple in the Midwest, the Bar Louie chain has landed in Colorado. At the Shops at Northfield, Bar Louie is the perfect spot for a mid-shopping beer; it also makes a great holding pen for husbands waiting out a long run by their significant others. The menu features such bar standards as wings […]
