With its wood-paneled walls, pool tables, dartboard and shuffleboard, this Lakewood dive feels kind of like a ’70s basement game room, minus the shag carpet. There’s a good chance that anyone over, say, forty will feel an affinity for the place because of that decades-old vibe. The low-key spot, which serves decently priced drinks, attracts […]
RISE Comedy (formerly Voodoo Comedy Playhouse), which opened in 2011, bills itself as Denver’s only improv comedy bar and theater. The venue, which has a full bar stocked with local brews, boasts a variety of original improv and sketch comedy five nights a week and offers classes in improv and standup. In addition to comedy, […]
While the Roadhouse gets its share of bikers, it’s one of the most friendly joints in the neighborhood. It’s particularly fun on the weekends with a lively group of regulars taking part in karaoke or listening to live music.
This is an upscale but comfortable brewpub with gourmet pub grub and plenty of chic atmosphere to spare. The food is above average, the beers are good, and the servers are just as likely to sit down and chat with you as they are to wait on you.

With checkered floors, an Elvis jukebox, a wall-sized Johnny Cash mural, and framed black-and-white photos of Hank Williams, Elvis and ’50s hot rods hanging on the other walls, Rock-A-Billies is obviously geared toward folks who love rockabilly culture. Housed in the former Cucina Roma Roma restaurant spot in a strip mall at 64th Avenue and […]
This bar gives a whole new meaning to getting lit — at one point, it was the payroll office for the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, the federal facility just across the highway that started producing plutonium triggers for nuclear bombs in the early ’50s and operated up until 1989. But the Rocky Flats Lounge […]
The old Hill-Top Bar, just north of I-70, was one of the tiniest dives in town – but it had a big group of fans, and that small spot produced a lot of memories. In early 2014, the bar was resurrected as the Rocky Top Tavern. The hardwood floors of the building, which has housed […]
Romero’s is serious about pleasing your pooch while providing a safe and clean atmosphere for humans. Some restaurants allow dogs on the patio, but this Lafayette beer bar takes the time to register dogs before they’re allowed in the leash-free outdoor beer garden. It really is a club, with passes that can be purchased for […]

Known for its gorgeous, scantily clad staff and sports-bar-like atmosphere, Rome’s Saloon is very much a gentlemen’s club, sans the poles. Family owned and operated for over thirty years, the southwest Denver hangout begins serving booze and food at 7 a.m. every day, with an extensive menu offering the usual fried goods, as well as […]
Greg Gallagher knows bars — he owns Gaslamp and the Front Porch — and he knows the part of town (the edge of LoDo) where both of those bars are located. So he knew what he wanted, and what would work, when he decided to open Roosevelt right next to the Front Porch ? in […]
The music never really stopped when Syntax Physic Opera transitioned to the Roxy on Broadway under new ownership in the summer of 2019. Owner Paula Vrakas brightened up the space and added a slate of reasonably priced, retro-inspired classic cocktails to accompany variety shows, comedy, open-mic nights and plenty of live music. Go early if […]
This location has been a bar since the 1950s, when it was known as the Coral Lounge and was considered a “mixed” bar, which is basically what people called an incognito gay bar back then. In the ’70s, the bar was renamed the R&R Lounge, which stood for Rick and Roger, the owners at the […]
This subterranean, gambling-themed Dairy Block cocktail lounge has become a destination for drink aficionados. Comb through the clever deck-of-cards menu and you’ll find special reserve cocktails made with vintage liqueurs and spirits – a passion of owner Steven Waters. He often imports these hard-to-find bottles, having first verified their authenticity from halfway around the globe. […]
The Rustic Tavern is happy to be what it is: just a bar. Opened more than 53 years ago by JoAnn Turner and her husband, the simple neighborhood beer joint doubles as a comforting abode for regulars and strangers alike. The original Formica bar top has seen thousands of happy elbows, and the wooden booths […]

With a whole wall dedicated solely to Steelers memorabilia, including a Terrible Towel, it’s fairly obvious that the Rusty Bucket a Steelers bar. While there’s no mistaking that you’ve entered Steeler country when you step inside this neighborhood sports joint it’s a also decent place to check out any game as the place has fifteen […]
Many of Denver’s longtime dives have been renovated into shiny shadows of their former selves, often transformed into hangouts for hipsters. We’re betting you won’t find a single hipster at Sam’s Bar & Lounge, a watering hole that opened on Leetsdale Drive 66 years ago. You won’t find any wi-fi, either; as one message on […]
The space that was once home to legendary Capitol Hill dive the Congress Lounge got new owners and a much-needed scrubbing in 2007, and reopened as the Satellite Bar. Although it could still be considered a dive by younger folks who’ve never been to a good old-fashioned one like the Nob Hill up the street, […]
