The Monkey Barrel

Neighborhood: Berkeley/Sunnyside

4401 Tejon St. Denver, CO 80211

720-638-3655

Jimmy Nigg took over the former Salvagetti Bicycle Workshop space on Platte Street in 2013 and transformed it into the Monkey Barrel, which relocated to Tejon Street in 2016 after its former home was sold. The bar decor includes a Wreck-it-Ralph-themed liquor shelf, and each booth is outfitted with Nintendo 64 gaming consoles; there are also a dozen pinball machines. Don’t miss the food, though: The kitchen has some stellar deals, including a cheeseburger and fries for under $10.
