Meadowlark

Neighborhood: Five Points/RiNo

2701 Larimer St., CO, 80205 Map It

Website See Upcoming Events

To find this hidden basement bar amid the hustle and bustle of Larimer Street, patrons must go down a steep, narrow staircase that’s often cramped with people, making for a tricky trek if you’re tipsy. But you’ll be rewarded for the effort by a place that’s been a go-to RiNo hangout for nearly two decades, filled with laughter, karaoke and killer tunes.
