Named for the Arsenal soccer team’s fan store, the Armoury opened in early 2013 as an Old World pub that focused on soccer, spirits heavy on beer and browns, and a live-music lineup featuring punk, post-punk and indie-rock acts. But within a year of opening, the bar was focusing less on soccer, and the live […]
The Arvada Tavern opened in 1933, not long after the repeal of Prohibition, and was issued the first liquor license in Arvada. A dive for decades, the tavern received a facelift in 2013 under new ownership while still holding on to the building’s vintage charm. More upscale now, it serves a variety of vintage cocktails […]
Avogadro’s Number in Fort Collins could be described as offbeat and off the beaten track. The venue’s warmly lit stage area is painted with a stunning mural that circles the room with people, stars and planets, and the crowd reflects the folksy, friendly vibe of the music calendar: lots of bluegrass, country and rock acts, […]

A Colorado club mainstay, Babe’s Nightclub (previously House of Babes) has been bringing the white- and blue-collar crowds together at its bar top for over two decades. The family-owned spot for day drinkers and game watchers turns into a full-fledged nightclub on the weekends, playing reggaeton, rap and Top 40 to a packed dance floor. […]
Opening a Wisconsin-themed bar in Colorado isn’t necessarily a bad ploy if you want an instant customer base; after all, Great Lakes transplants just might outnumber Denver natives in hip neighborhoods like Baker. But you don’t have to like cheese curds or Old Milwaukee to have a good time at Badger’s, which replaced the aging […]
In 2004, this former Volkswagen shop was refitted as a bar with a massive garage door at the front, cement floors and a large, open patio. Since then, its divey vibes have made it a neighborhood favorite where crowds gather for First Friday. Whether you shoot a game of pool or play darts, or just […]
THE NAME. Our name is an ode to the previous tenant – The Banshee Press. We loved the name, we loved the formidable golden eyes, and we loved the allure that the Banshee legend brings to the block. THE HOUSE. Our historic house dates back to 1885, before Larimer was bustling in different ways and […]

The opening of Bar 404 in December 2021 is just the latest chapter in this spot’s long history. Built in 1929, it became a bar the day after Prohibition ended in 1933. In 1951, it was purchased by Jerry Feld, who ran the place for sixty years as Club 404. The building was briefly Denver […]
When Leigh Jones – of Horseshoe Lounge fame – bought the Recovery Room a decade ago, she overhauled it completely. The resulting Bar Car looks a little nondescript, but the rustic interior, with its old-timey railroad theme, is a pleasant surprise. Also pleasantly surprising, given Colorado Boulevard’s penchant for chains, is that the Bar Car […]
Long a staple in the Midwest, the Bar Louie chain has landed in Colorado. At the Shops at Northfield, Bar Louie is the perfect spot for a mid-shopping beer; it also makes a great holding pen for husbands waiting out a long run by their significant others. The menu features such bar standards as wings […]

Cliff Young and his son, Zach, opened the doors of Bar Red in late 2013. But beyond those doors was a stunning renovation of an old stone building at 437 West Colfax Avenue, just around the corner from CY Steaks, which Cliff also ran until 2018 (he passed away in 2021). More than just a […]

Once the home of Serengeti and Shelter, Bar Standard is an Art Deco-themed, modern-day speakeasy. While the name and look may have changed, the club, housed in the former Jonas Bros. Furs building, still brings in some of the area’s best DJs — who spin house and dance music — as well as more high-profile […]
After this spot’s long run as the Atrium Bar & Grill, new owners took it over, cleaned it up and made it into a respectable neighborhood watering hole called the Bar. As the name might imply, it’s a no-frills joint where pretty much anyone is welcome. While the bar on the south side of the […]
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: […]
