If you enjoy holding a golf club as much as a good cocktail, you're in luck. Denver's golf-bar scene has grown rapidly in the last few years and isn't showing signs of slowing down anytime soon. The latest destination for traditional golf fans is Hanger Club, an indoor golf and entertainment social club in Lowry. Prefer putt-putt? There are several options in town, including a pair of indoor mini-golf options that also serve food and boozy beverages.

Ready to practice your drive or putt for that hole-in-one while imbibing? Here are your options:

The 5,200-square-foot Local Drive has three standard golf simulators and two oversized options with larger screens, as well as a full bar and plenty of comfortable couch seating for a lounge feel. “The space is designed to be warm and welcoming,” says co-owner Joe Lynch, who adds that the space is for everyone, whether they love golf or just a good cocktail, and is a great option for large parties and corporate events. At the bar, the name “local” translates to an emphasis on Colorado breweries, distilleries and wineries, with a goal of at least 80 percent local products served. The Local Drive also offers a portable TrackMan golf simulator that can be delivered to any event. Its first location has proven to be so successful that the team added a second in Longmont last year.

The 6,000-square-foot space in the up-and-coming York Street Yards development includes golf simulators that allow guests to play almost any course in the world, along with GCQuad sensors.

Mini Golf Bars

Holey Moley
1201 18th Street
720-360-3020
In 2018, the former Spaghetti Factory space became an indoor mini golf bar called Urban Putt. After closing in June 2023, it reopened that September under new owners as Holey Moley, the first U.S. location from the Australia-born concept. It boasts three nine-hole courses "inspired by popular themes inspired by pop culture, nostalgia and childhood memories," it says. It also serves a full food and drink menu.

Rino Country Club
3763 Wynkoop Street
Handsome Boys Hospitality added this bar complete with a nine-hole mini golf course in May 2022. It's a great place to pre-game for shows at Mission Ballroom, thanks to its solid drink specials; you can also grub at Dalton’s, the walk-up window inside that slings one of the best burgers in town. Pay per game, or opt for a no-brainer of a deal: a lifetime membership for $10.
