This bar gives a whole new meaning to getting lit — at one point, it was the payroll office for the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, the federal facility just across the highway that started producing plutonium triggers for nuclear bombs in the early ’50s and operated up until 1989. But the Rocky Flats Lounge […]
The old Hill-Top Bar, just north of I-70, was one of the tiniest dives in town – but it had a big group of fans, and that small spot produced a lot of memories. In early 2014, the bar was resurrected as the Rocky Top Tavern. The hardwood floors of the building, which has housed […]
Romero’s is serious about pleasing your pooch while providing a safe and clean atmosphere for humans. Some restaurants allow dogs on the patio, but this Lafayette beer bar takes the time to register dogs before they’re allowed in the leash-free outdoor beer garden. It really is a club, with passes that can be purchased for […]

The music never really stopped when Syntax Physic Opera transitioned to the Roxy on Broadway under new ownership in the summer of 2019. Owner Paula Vrakas brightened up the space and added a slate of reasonably priced, retro-inspired classic cocktails to accompany variety shows, comedy, open-mic nights and plenty of live music. Go early if […]
Since it first opened as a movie house eight decades ago, the Roxy Theatre in Five Points has gone through many incarnations; the 4,800-square-foot space was a dance club before becoming a live-music venue in 2011 and getting a remodel, a new sound system and a new lighting rig. While the 500-person Roxy brings in […]
This location has been a bar since the 1950s, when it was known as the Coral Lounge and was considered a “mixed” bar, which is basically what people called an incognito gay bar back then. In the ’70s, the bar was renamed the R&R Lounge, which stood for Rick and Roger, the owners at the […]

The Rustic Tavern is happy to be what it is: just a bar. Opened more than 53 years ago by JoAnn Turner and her husband, the simple neighborhood beer joint doubles as a comforting abode for regulars and strangers alike. The original Formica bar top has seen thousands of happy elbows, and the wooden booths […]
With a whole wall dedicated solely to Steelers memorabilia, including a Terrible Towel, it’s fairly obvious that the Rusty Bucket a Steelers bar.

Many of Denver’s longtime dives have been renovated into shiny shadows of their former selves, often transformed into hangouts for hipsters. We’re betting you won’t find a single hipster at Sam’s Bar & Lounge, a watering hole that opened on Leetsdale Drive 66 years ago. You won’t find any wi-fi, either; as one message on […]
The space that was once home to legendary Capitol Hill dive the Congress Lounge got new owners and a much-needed scrubbing in 2007, and reopened as the Satellite Bar. Although it could still be considered a dive by younger folks who’ve never been to a good old-fashioned one like the Nob Hill up the street, […]

The 18,000-square-foot log-cabin-like retreat bills itself as “a very diverse lifestyle club for ladies, select single men, and classy couples.” Scarlet Ranch, which attracts a clientele whose average […]
As its name implies, Scooter’s in Aurora is first and foremost a sports bar. You can catch any number of games on the hi-def TVs scattered around the place, as well as UFC fights. And although Scooter’s, which also boasts a 1,700-square-foot deck, occasionally brings in live bands, there’s usually dancing to DJs on Fridays […]
A Ballpark neighborhood mainstay for years, Scruffy Murphy’s has the old-worldness of an authentic Irish pub with its authentic antique stained glass and the dark wood of its back bar and bar top.
