Nob Hill Inn

Neighborhood: Central Denver

420 E. Colfax Ave. Denver, CO 80203

303-860-7557

This address has held a drinker’s paradise since 1937; it became known as the Nob Hill Inn seventy years ago. It’s the kind of joint where it’s easy to lose track of time...for decades. The square-shaped bar makes for easy people-watching, and with some of Colfax’s finest camping out here, it’s usually entertaining as hell. If Bukowski were still alive, this might be his idea of nirvana.
