The 26-acre campus is centered on a grand Victorian dining hall, featuring great views of the Flatirons and a menu of American standards. It sits at […]

After working in the action-sports industry for years and setting a Guinness World Record for longest journey on a mini-motorcycle, Ryan Galbraith and Chris Stinson have now embarked on a different journey: Cheapskates Actions Sports Bar, which opened May 2011 in the former home of Bliss Cafe in Arvada. The partners gutted the space and […]
Not only is the Cheeky Monk a destination restaurant for all you European beer snobs looking for unpronounceable brews made by monks who’ve dedicated their lives to Jesus and zymurgy, but it also happens to be a great place to sample the rather unique cuisine of the Benelux — all mussels and frites and sausages […]
Created by guys who have many years of ivory tickling between them, the circus/carnival themed Chez Cirque dueling piano spot is a step above other local piano bars. A typical night will feature at least two pianists (and possibly two more pianists who may double on other instruments) playing requests from the audience, everything from […]
Named after a fictitious, jet-setting socialite whose favorite food, favorite design trends, favorite art and favorite music the club embodies, Chloe is a 6,600-square-foot space that’s divided into Chloe’s Mezze Lounge, Garden and Discotheque. The super-deluxe venue, which is part of Francois Safieddine’s Lotus Concepts group of nightclubs, features exotic snakeskin wallpaper, an under-lit onyx […]
City Hall is part of the SoCo (South of Colfax) nightlife district, which also controls Funky Buddha, Milk and Vinyl, among others. City Hall, though, operates as more of an events venue and less of a nightclub. Although the large, outdoor space hosts an occasional rave, it is far more likely to be the location […]

After extensive renovations, the Grizzly Rock opened in 2012 in the building at 5255 West Sixth Avenue that has housed a number of different nightclubs over the years, including Hollywood Legends, Club Arriba and After the Gold Rush. But the 1,200-capacity venue closed in April this year – and now Club Adixion, which specializes in […]

The venue’s rooftop patio offers great views of Denver’s skyline, along with year-round fire pits, hookahs and a seasonal grill. Elsewhere, the uber-swanky lounge welcomes those who just want to chill, and […]
Inspired by late-’70s hip-hop group the Cold Crush Brothers, Cold Crush opened in May 2013 as what owner Brian Mathenge dubbed “an artist’s haven, a place where artists, poets, musicians and those who appreciate their work can meet, mingle and eat great food.” DJs spin funk, soul and hip-hop five nights a week, as well […]

The College, as it’s affectionately known, has been in business since the Eisenhower administration and proudly wears such hard-earned longevity on its beer-stained sleeve. As the area around Eighth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard keeps getting shinier, the College Inn’s mom’s-basement-but-maybe-somebody-got-stabbed-there vibe stands out all the more. It’s got many characteristics of a dive, yes, but […]
The Columbine Cafe opened the year Prohibition ended, in a former barbershop by a patch of horse pastures. The nearest landmark was the Coors brewery, and workers from that plant kept the place in business for many years. Today, Golden sprawls just down the road, but the Columbine still feels like an out-of-the-way discovery. There’s […]
The Comedy Club inside El Charrito
After running the Comedy Works downtown — which some consider one of the finest comedy clubs in the nation — for nearly two decades, Wende Curtis opened the Landmark location in October 2008. While the downtown club brings in the younger, hipper and edgier comics, Comedy Works South generally brings in the slightly cleaner, nationally […]
“Welkome to the Party.” That’s the motto for Comrade Brewing, which opened in southeast Denver in 2014 with “back-to-basics” beers — like a kolsch, an IPA, an Irish red and a milk stout — and a tongue-in-cheek nod to Communism. But owner David Lin says he’s really celebrating the camaraderie that the craft brewing industry […]

A staple dive that stands out even in Boulder’s crowded bar scene, Conor O’Neill’s is the most authentic Irish pub you’ll find in the Rockies, thanks to the importation of everything from the bar to the fireplace to the decor. Irish masons even flew over to help build the place. Live music on weekends includes […]
When Union Station was renovated a decade ago, the mezzanine was turned into one of the most enchanting bars in town: the Cooper Lounge. In 2024, the elegant drinking destination got a refresh of its own that somehow made it even more lush. It’s a great place to meet up with friends from out of […]
The Corner Bar, located inside the historic Boulderado Hotel, offers two floors of seating and a heated outside patio.
