Barker Lounge

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 02:24:09 -0600

A self-proclaimed “stray bar,” the Barker Lounge attracts a wide variety of patrons — even if the disco balls hanging from the ceiling and Madonna tunes blaring from the jukebox suggest otherwise. The humble interior at 475 Santa Fe Drive (where it moved in 2012) is similar to that of its old South Broadway location: […]

The British Bulldog

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:13:06 -0600

The Bulldog’s dark and shadowy space actually looks and feels like an Old English pub – not a nightclub or a cocktail lounge or a fern bar or even the Punch Bowl, which once occupied this spot. It’s a double-barreled shotgun of a room, with the long oak bar on one side and rickety, high-backed […]

Celtic Tavern

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:46:15 -0600

If you’re looking for something Irish in LoDo and prefer to avoid the sports-bar crowd, Celtic Tavern might be just the ticket. Eschewing a green-beer motif in favor of decor that incorporates literary works from the Emerald Isle’s finest, Celtic Tavern presents a distinct Gaelic theme. With its mahogany-paneled walls and fireplaces, the venue offers […]

Katie Mullen’s

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 04:03:04 -0600

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 […]

Pints Pub

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:36:38 -0600

Pints Pub claims to have the largest collection of single-malt whisky outside of Britain — and it certainly has the largest collection in Denver. The spot is also a brewpub, and it crafts a variety of beers, including English-style cask-conditioned live brews and low-alcohol session ales. And it’s from that activity that Scott Diamond, who […]

Royal Hilltop

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 01:51:55 -0600

Owners James and Tina Pachorek did something restaurateurs too often forget when they opened this small, family-oriented British-style pub in the far reaches of eastern Aurora: They created a casual, laid-back, non-threatening restaurant that people want to return to. The menu, while lacking the glitz and style of trendier eateries, is filled with soul-satisfying pub […]

Slattery’s Irish Pub

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 03:36:24 -0600

After opening the Irish Snug on East Colfax and McLoughlin’s near LoDo, the McLoughlin brothers opened Slattery’s in the Landmark development in Greenwood Village. The guys clearly know a thing or two about running an Irish pub, and Slattery’s was designed as a public house that one might find on the streets of Dublin’s City […]

The Three Lions

Wed, 17 Sep 2014 05:28:25 -0600

With 6.6 billion people on the earth who view soccer (or football) as their sport of choice, it’s surprising there aren’t more spots like the Three Lions, which opened in the former Bank Bar & Grill space in August 2011. Billing itself as a world football pub, the Three Lions is modeled after a traditional […]
