With cheap drinks, sticky floors and a decided lack of frills, Monkey Bar, the Santa Fe art district’s premier dive, has been a constant in the rapidly changing neighborhood. Although the bar doesn’t host any official leagues, patrons can partake in a plethora of games, most of which are free to play. Darts, billiards, ping-pong […]
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. The bar decor includes a Wreck-it-Ralph-themed liquor shelf, and each booth is outfitted with Nintendo 64 gaming consoles; there are […]
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 […]
In the 1800s, the original Mozart Hall was a social center and bar for German immigrants downtown. The bar, including the sign, moved to the Mayfair neighborhood in 1955. The Mo, as it’s known to regulars, was a favorite for decades before being rebranded as the Aqua Lounge for a time. But in 2016, new […]
Public lounging is a nightly pastime at Mynt, where comfy couches cushion the well-tailored hides of LoDo loyalists. Live DJs spin the body electric every Thursday. Decorated to suit its name — the place is greener than Kermit — Mynt is mojitos-and-martini heaven. Several beer choices also augment a small food menu.

Nallen’s Irish Pub opened in 1992 and was a neighborhood mainstay long before other bars invaded the 1400 block of Market Street. The family-operated, no-frills spot feels more like an authentic Irish pub than a trendy LoDo bar. Since Nallen’s isn’t overwhelmed with a lot of TVs showing sporting events, it’s easier to concentrate on […]
Irish-Australian bush ranger Edward “Ned” Kelly was hailed by some as a cold-blooded killer, while others considered him a folk hero and a symbol of Irish-Australian resistance against oppression by the British ruling class. Whatever the case, folks celebrate him daily at this authentic Irish pub in downtown Littleton. While the intimate space can get […]
After the short-lived Jazzmatazz Lounge closed, the space next to Limon Peruvian restaurant was renovated and transformed into the Next Door Lounge. Will Olson, one of the owners, wanted a place with cheap drinks, good food, a relaxing vibe and an unpretentious atmosphere. And that’s essentially what you get at this cozy neighborhood watering hole […]
One of the few full-fledged music venues in Lafayette, Nissi’s brings in a variety of local and national live acts most nights of the week, offering everything from jazz and rock to a cappella, comedy and cabaret. The intimate venue, which has a decent sound system and acoustics, is a classy spot for an evening […]
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. […]

Just off Larimer Street, Nocturne continues the jazz tradition of the neighborhood with its Art Deco-style bar, classic cocktails and stage-side dining room. This swanky spot is the perfect place to celebrate an anniversary or any other occasion that warrants a little extra something special, but you can also just stop by for some tunes […]
Number Thirty Eight, which opened in late 2020, is a massive spot with enough room both inside and on its dog-friendly patio to quell any lingering social distancing concerns. When you check in, you’re given a wristband that connects with your credit card, so you don’t ever have to get out your wallet to order […]
The OMG is your one-stop destination for delectable foods, great drinks, stylish atmosphere, and cool live music in Colorado. You’ll never want to be anywhere else when you dine in and hang out here.
In this day and age, Old Chicago locations are common enough across the country that many diners have forgotten this chain’s humble beginnings: It got its start not in Chicago — or anywhere else in Illinois, for that matter — but in Boulder, in 1976. Old Chicago is part of the Rock Bottom line of […]
A friendly neighborhood joint just east of LoDo, Old Curtis Street is one of Denver’s best kept secrets. The atmosphere recalls the warm and welcoming vibe of an old diner. The food and drink prices are beyond fair. With live music three nights a week, bringing everything from punk and indie bands to house DJs, […]

In the afternoons, you might have Opal all to yourself — which means all the more offerings for you. The laundry list of specials includes two-for-one deals on nigiri and hand rolls, two-for-one hot sake, four-dollar martinis, three-dollar champagne, big Kirins for just $2.50 — and the incongruous dollar Coronas. Don’t ask why, just enjoy. […]
Justin Cucci has already experienced wild success with Linger and Root Down, and Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox, which opened in April 2015 in the Ballpark neighborhood, is even more ambitious. Cucci calls the space a “gastro-brothel,” since it occupies the ground floor and basement of the Airedale building, which has been a bordello, flophouse and peep-show […]
Denver musician Nathaniel Rateliff teamed up with a couple of his bandmembers and the owners of the hi-dive to take over the former Bushwacker’s Saloon and unveil it as the Overland in the summer of 2016. But don’t go here because you’re a fan of the Night Sweats; the team has created a bona fide […]
