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 bar and lounge, Bar Red also has a grab-and-go area for breakfast and lunch. In the evening, guests can use the discreet alley entrance to enter the speakeasy-like lower-level bistro for drinks and dinner.
