Two Penguins Tap and Grill, which opened in Centennial in April 2015, has 36 rotating beers on tap – the focus is on Colorado craft versions – and serves a decent selection of locally distilled spirits. The kitchen serves up American fare, including appetizers, burgers, pizzas and salads, as well as specials like barbecued pulled […]
Bars and Clubs in Denver
Showing 353 - 374 of 390Located down the street from Buckin’ Harley’s, just off Pecos Street and Highway 36, the Ugly Dog caters to sports fans as well as dog lovers. Yes, the gals working there wear tight, sleeveless referee shirts, and you can catch a game on one of its twenty LCD TVs — but you can also bring […]
Lenka Juchelkova and her husband, Mike Huggins, have a knack for planting excellent bars in neighborhoods in desperate need of good watering holes. After they gave Olde Town Arvada the Arvada Tavern, they went to an underserved block off the 16th Street Mall, nestling the Americana-appointed Union Lodge No. 1 among outposts of fast-casual chains. […]
If you’re tired of bars where the primary activities are drinking and chatting, we have the perfect solution: Upstairs Circus, which opened right above the Squeaky Bean in late 2013. In the center ring at Upstairs Circus? Crafts. The themed bar offers crafters and their friends a place (and supplies) to work on their projects […]

LIVE MUSIC • GOOD BOOZE Velvet Elk Lounge was born from the desire to create a small, funky, live music venue in Boulder where you can get a proper cocktail and listen to great, local music. When there’s not a live band, check the calendar for DJ events, open mic nights, dance your pants off […]
Known for decades as the Tap Inn, the Viking still holds it down as a bar-stool oasis along a stretch of West Colfax all but abandoned by other watering holes. Yes, it’s a biker bar by definition, but everyone is welcome: Regulars come in the form of blue-collar workers, lawyers, neighborhood day drinkers, and even […]
Voicebox brought its karaoke concept from Portland, Oregon, to Denver in late 2016 with a simple twist: Would-be singers rent a private suite with anywhere from two to thirty of their best friends and start belting out the classics (“Don’t Stop Believin’,” anyone?) in semi-privacy. Servers pop their heads in to take drink orders; choose […]

A self-proclaimed “community bar,” #VYBE (previously Broadways), which sits just blocks from Civic Center Park, has been a pre- and post-parade destination for spirited PrideFest-goers for years. But during the rest of the year, the storefront spot is a nondescript hangout for everyone, with a pool table garnering the most attention and a tiny bungalow […]
A multi-level, cavernous sports bar tucked away in a South Denver strip mall, W.T. Shorty’s has a dark wooden interior that feels like an adult version of Casa Bonita. Instead of cliff diving, though, there’s a massive, three-sided center bar backed by a wall of flat-screen TVs. Each seat in the house seems positioned for […]
Dubbed “your best friend’s bar,” the Watering Bowl is a dog-friendly spot housed in the former Priddy Auction Galleries space on Leetsdale Drive. Although dogs aren’t actually allowed inside of the 13,000-square-foot bar, there are 7,000 additional square feet outside for a fenced-in private dog park. The Watering Bowl has a fully stocked regular bar […]
The Waterton Tavern’s website touts two things that are very important to tavern-goers: cold beer and big burgers. And while this bar, which is located in the Roxborough section of Littleton, excels at both of those things (there are ten different types of burgers), the place has even more to offer, including additional menu items […]
The Wazee predates all the hipness, all the gentrification of LoDo. But the bar has aged so well, no place works better when you need a place to crash-land for a couple of hours, a couple of years, a lifetime. It’s seen some famous faces (and has even been owned by one, John Hickenlooper), but […]

The Welcome Inn also goes by the name New Welcome Inn, but there’s nothing new about this bar that’s been run by the same family for over thirty years; the music is loud, the games popular, and the linoleum on the bar worn by generations of elbows. What’s new is the area around the bar: […]
The comfort food served at the West End Tavern is what would result if a fast-moving drunken picnic crashed headlong into a great neighborhood bar, with beach food and backyard barbecue tangling up with lawn-fete classics and powerful drinks. We’re talking sautéed greens and deviled eggs, roast-pork sandwiches, roast chicken and alcoholic root-beer floats — […]
The White Horse Bar has been pouring since the ’20s – and it looks it. The current owners bought it in 1974 and have made relatively few improvements. An obsolete dance floor in the middle of the room is surrounded by dingy floral carpet, and many of the theme-keeping white-horse statues, paintings and plaques are […]
