Dubbed “Boulder’s Home of the Blues,” Blues & Greens Restaurant (which was formerly Skinny Jay’s Pizza) really qualifies as Colorado’s Home of the Blues. One of the few spots on the Front Range focused primarily on the genre, Blues & Greens takes its dedication seriously. Almost every night of the week, it brings in fine […]

Zdenek Srom opened Bohemian Biergarten, his European-style beer garden, in spring 2013 at the Boulder address that once housed Trilogy. And although this place is very unlike that legendary spot in many ways, like Trilogy, it focuses on creating community. A community of people who enjoy good beer and hearty food to go with it. […]
First opened in an old goat shed by two University of Colorado professors in 1979, the Boulder Beer Company is the oldest microbrewery in Colorado. At their Pub — a full-service restaurant — you can choose from a long list of menu items accompanied by suggested beer pairings. Try the half-pound Buff burger (all natural; […]

The Boulder Theater is not the kind of place you go to get loaded on cheap beer and talk through a performance. Audiences in the palatial, art-deco-style hall come to actually listen to music, and for good reason: The historic theater’s schedule is so well-rounded, there really is something for everyone. An eclectic mix of […]
A decade ago, you might have been forgiven for blowing through the stretch of I-70 between Denver and the Eisenhower tunnel. But now you have good reason to slow your roll and exit the highway, and not just for a reprieve from weekend traffic. At the Silver Plume turnoff, make a beeline to the Bread […]
After sixty years, Jerry Feld sold his beloved Club 404, and in February 2012, the place reopened as Denver Wheel Club 404. But that incarnation never really got on a roll, and in November 2012, 404 Broadway changed ownership again. It’s been bought by Kevin Geraghty, owner of the defunct (and still missed) Brendan’s Pub, […]
The original Brewery Bar opened in the old Tivoli brewery – which is now the Auraria Campus student union – and moved to Kalamath Street while Nixon was still in office (hence the II in the name). The bar is decked out with sports memorabilia and is host to a crew of regulars who gather […]
In addition to running a string of bars and clubs since the 1960s, Chuck Persichetti owned Brewski’s, at Highway 36 and Pecos, for a decade. Nearly ten years after selling the place (which is now Buckin’ Harley’s), he resurrected the Brewski’s name and opened an updated version of his old spot in Thornton, at the […]
In this era of craft beer, Brik on York stands out for its focus on wine. Chef/owner/sommelier Travis Gee offers an eight-page wine list, with old- and new-world wines by the half-glass, glass, half-bottle and bottle, and informative tidbits about each region. Wine isn’t the only focus, though. The menu includes an array of Neapolitan-style […]

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 […]
The Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs is home to the Colorado College hockey team, elite figure skaters and the Colorado Gold Speedskating Club, but the 8,000-seat multi-purpose venue is also used for concerts, including nationally known acts, as well other performances and sporting events.
Although Bruce’s Bar is a bit out of the way — it’s in Severance, about half an hour from Fort Collins — lots of folks hit the spot for its burgers or World-Famous Rocky Mountain Oysters. The history of the place dates back to 1957, when Bruce Ruth bought Severance Recreation and christened it Bruce’s […]
How do poodles and heavy metal mesh? The unlikely combo somehow works at the Brutal Poodle, opened in early 2018 by Wes Moralez, Ryan Oakes and David “Yosh” Yoshikawa, members of Denver band Son Survivor. Beyond the goofy, dog-themed art on the walls and the (just loud enough) tracks pumping from the sound system, good […]
With a history that dates back more than a century, the Buffalo Restaurant & Bar is one of the more popular spots in downtown Idaho Springs. With antique bars that were built in the 1860s and an awesome collection of antique signs, the Buffalo no doubt has a historic feel. The bar serves a decent […]

Smack in the middle of downtown Golden, the Buffalo Rose offers more than just good drinks – it offers a great experience. The mid-sized venue continues to grow in popularity with its intimate setting, excellent sound, huge dance floor and great local and national acts. The music is a grab bag of styles, ranging from […]
This saloon is a popular spot for music, imbibing and patio-sitting – and while you’re soaking up the sun or knocking one back, you’re bound to get hungry. Fortunately, Cactus Jack’s has a solid menu of bar food, with a Mexican plate or two for good measure. Taking center stage are the dozen-plus Widespread Burgers, […]
Bonnie Brae is a neighborhood that’s seen a lot of changes in recent years, with the loss of the Bonnie Brae Tavern and the Saucy Noodle, but Campus Lounge remains – even after a number of ownership changes. It was founded by the late Jim Wiste (a retired pro hockey player and DU Pioneers alum) […]
