Highlands Cork and Coffee

In 1907 a home was built on the corner of 32nd Ave and Meade St. in the Historic Highlands neighborhood of Denver. To complement our drink menu of espressos, chai teas, Chardonnays’, Merlots and Malbecs we have a unique offering of Panini’s, Salads and Tapas (Just to name a few). Stop in any time of […]

Historians Ale House

The long bar at Historians Ale House is reminiscent of something you would find in Boston or Chicago, with its never-ending line of taps surrounded by warm brick walls and sky-high ceilings. Head upstairs to the rooftop patio for some of the best views in the city, and dig into daily specials, brunch cocktails on […]

Hoffbrau Colorado

After 28 years (and three expansions) at 7699 West 88th Avenue, Hoffbrau Colorado moved to a new 15,000-square-foot space at 9110 Wadsworth Parkway in early 2014. That’s about twice as big as the old location, and the new place features an expanded stage and a more ambitious concert calendar, to boot. And while the old […]

The Hornet

The Hornet took over a Denver institution, Mary & Lou’s Cafe, in 1995. Now the nearly thirty-year-old Baker spot with a secluded patio is an icon in its own right. The menu is casual and heavy on comfort food, including lots of gluten-free options like the Honey Stung Fried Chicken; the beer list is approachable; […]

The Horseshoe Lounge

The ’Shoe, as its motley crew of regulars calls it, is a powerhouse bar in the Uptown neighborhood filled with vintage furniture and a bar top made of thousands of dice. The joint gets jumping with all sorts of folks venturing in and out of downtown on the weekends. Order a beer and a shot […]

Howl at the Moon

After a fourteen-year run, SingSing — which was downtown Denver’s only dueling-piano bar for most of those years — closed at the end of 2011. A few months later, Howl at the Moon, a national dueling-piano chain that started in 1990 and has more than a dozen locations across the country, opened in the space. […]

Inga’s Alpine Tavern

This spot in the former Pete’s Patio Bar is a kitschy mix of rustic simplicity and retro elegance with solid bar fare and live music. Inga’s was inspired by a Swedish ski cabin, and the battle-scarred hardwood floors look as though they’ve been deliberately dented by the stomp of ski boots. Meanwhile, tufted, swiveling, brass-studded […]

Interstate Kitchen & Bar

Brothers Andre and Aaron Lobato got an early start in the restaurant business, helping their parents run the 14th Street Bar and Grill, which had a 22-year run in Boulder. Just before that restaurant finally closed, the siblings took a cross-country trip and, along with their friend Joey Newman, decided to open their own place, […]

The Irish Rover

While the number of Irish bars in Denver has dwindled over the years, the Rover is still going strong. Open since 2005, it’s the perfect place to catch a Saturday-afternoon buzz, preferably kicked off with a proper pint of Guinness. On cold winter days, the comfy pub offers refuge, while its rooftop patio beckons when […]

Jackson’s LoDo

LoDo partiers looking to start a night strong will find their gateway to blackout at Jackson’s, which features a $10 all-you-can-drink deal for women ($20 for men) on Friday nights. Hordes of twenty-somethings and baseball-game-goers pack the bar and vast rooftop patio, putting down Coors Light, well vodka and Jim Beam with a vengeance while […]

Jake’s Roadhouse

There’s no question that Jake’s Roadhouse in Arvada is biker-friendly, with an emphasis on the “friendly.” You’re bound to see a fair amount of black leather on any given day, especially on the weekends, but like everyone else, those wearing it come to Jake’s to have a good time and take advantage of the bar’s […]

Jake’s Sports & Spirits

There’s not really a Jake behind Jake’s Sports & Spirits (which changed its name from Jake’s Food & Spirits in the fall of 2015). This neighborhood joint’s name was actually inspired by the abstract notion of a guy, maybe a Jake, who everyone knows and likes. Open for lunch, dinner and late-night dining, Jake’s comes […]

JD’S Bait Shop Sports Grill

If you prefer to enjoy your game-time beers surrounded by aquariums and high-definition televisions, or if you’re looking for a spot to enjoy pre-concert drinks before heading to Fiddler’s Green, JD’s Bait Shop has got you covered. As the name suggests, it’s not exactly a high-brow place: The atmosphere is semi-divey, the menu features mostly […]

Katie Mullen’s

For years, Denver has been aching for a real, serious Irish pub. With Katie Mullen’s, it didn’t just get one, it got four — thanks to this huge space inside the Sheraton and clever architecture that allowed the endeavor to sprout four differently styled bars covering a good swath of Hibernian drinking history. It also […]
