Says meanstreetsofsouthdenver:

If there were ever a bar built for marital infidelity, it was this one. And that's all I'm saying.

But others used the bar to...talk. Says frazier:

Bummer. This was one of the few nice places in town with a laid-back atmosphere, good for a drink after work that turns into an evening out.

But let's think positive. What's another place like that, quiet enough to talk without the noisy DBs and the wall-to-wall sports TVs, where you can actually park? Suggestions welcome!

Bars where you can park and talk? Bars where you can talk and then park (or rent a room)? Post your suggestions below.
