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 not only for the strong pours and camaraderie, but also for the classic Den-Mex cuisine, including a spicy and tomato-heavy green chile that’s one of the best in town, especially when smothering a crispy chile relleno.
