Badger's Pub

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 Brown Barrel Tavern a decade ago. We’re fans of the cheap drinks and conversation; beer-and-shot specials go a long way toward drowning out the Packers chatter.
