Colorful characters from Denver’s past are rumored to have bellied up to the bar at Charlie Brown’s, which has been open since Prohibition ended. A sprawling spot with nightly piano sing-alongs, it lives up to its slogan: “Something for everyone.” Couples, friends, tourists, young professionals, senior citizens, college kids and even celebrities enjoy the stiff […]
Sometimes Colfax Avenue is so idiosyncratic that it risks becoming a caricature of itself. For evidence, look no further than Charlie’s, Colfax’s big, gay cowboy bar. Gaze upon the cowboy-boot disco ball that spins and glistens from the ceiling. Don’t miss the translucent machine that blows money (or whatever else) around as dancers – also […]
After working in the action-sports industry for years and setting a Guinness World Record for longest journey on a mini-motorcycle, Ryan Galbraith and Chris Stinson have now embarked on a different journey: Cheapskates Actions Sports Bar, which opened May 2011 in the former home of Bliss Cafe in Arvada. The partners gutted the space and […]
Not only is the Cheeky Monk a destination restaurant for all you European beer snobs looking for unpronounceable brews made by monks who’ve dedicated their lives to Jesus and zymurgy, but it also happens to be a great place to sample the rather unique cuisine of the Benelux — all mussels and frites and sausages […]

Inspired by late-’70s hip-hop group the Cold Crush Brothers, Cold Crush opened in May 2013 as what owner Brian Mathenge dubbed “an artist’s haven, a place where artists, poets, musicians and those who appreciate their work can meet, mingle and eat great food.” DJs spin funk, soul and hip-hop five nights a week, as well […]
The College, as it’s affectionately known, has been in business since the Eisenhower administration and proudly wears such hard-earned longevity on its beer-stained sleeve. As the area around Eighth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard keeps getting shinier, the College Inn’s mom’s-basement-but-maybe-somebody-got-stabbed-there vibe stands out all the more.

While the downtown club brings in the younger, hipper and edgier comics, Comedy Works South generally brings in the slightly cleaner, nationally […]

But owner David Lin says he’s really celebrating the camaraderie that the craft brewing industry […]
A staple dive that stands out even in Boulder’s crowded bar scene, Conor O’Neill’s is the most authentic Irish pub you’ll find in the Rockies, thanks to the importation of everything from the bar to the fireplace to the decor. Irish masons even flew over to help build the place. Live music on weekends includes […]
When Union Station was renovated a decade ago, the mezzanine was turned into one of the most enchanting bars in town: the Cooper Lounge. In 2024, the elegant drinking destination got a refresh of its own that somehow made it even more lush. It’s a great place to meet up with friends from out of […]
