This is a funky little dive bar on South Broadway that hosts local and traveling bands. We saw…read moreSummer Dean here recently and bought tickets ahead of time online. It's mostly standing room for shows, save for one or two small high top tables near the bar. Drinks are good and they have a decent cocktail list. I ordered a drink that had Jones Family gin. We came on a cold night, and it was chilly inside, so I'd suggest to dress warmly in the winter. Cash and card are accepted at the bar, and there is an ATM machine if needed. The restrooms are what you'd expect for a dive bar, so keep that in mind! Overall a cool place to see local shows and smaller travel acts.

This bar is a whole vibe. From the boat inside (complete…read morewith life preservers), to the cornhole outside, pool tables, foosball, and ping pong, if you're bored, it's your own darn fault. They also have touch tunes so you can decide what you want to listen to. Plenty of seating, inside and outside. Drink specials, including shots, and a shot ski, this feels like a local bar you would find in a warmer location. You order your drinks at the bar, then go sit wherever you like. It's nice to find somewhere in Denver, that has good alcohol (they're not serving Gordon's vodka), at very reasonable prices. Bartender was friendly, and mixes a good, stiff drink. I chose a throw back to college days - cherry vodka, and coke. Yum! We will absolutely be back!

First time back in a while! Don't know why it's taken so long for me to come back but one thing I…read moreremembered was how GOOD the chicken and waffles were. The waffle is made with cheddar and cornbread and the chicken is so well seasoned! A little more batter than I personally like but it's still my go to order when we stop in. The staff is always so nice and hospitable when we come in, making sure to always check on us if we need anything and how our food is. I love the metal atmosphere and the music isn't too loud that you have to shout across the table the perfect volume for background music. If you haven't gone to The Brutal Poodle yet, what are you doing!

With that being said it was a bit loud in there but everyone appeared to be having a great time, the servers included. I ordered the Brutal Burger with fries and it came out pretty quick. It's a nice thick juicy burger that's been seasoned and comes with all the fixings. Be warned, a lot of the items on the menu say they're spicy. This burger was not.

Great dive by with lots of character (and characters!)…read more Drinks are a nice pour and reasonably price Don't miss this place for a quick pop or two

I went this time for the burger. I used to go 20 years ago for Golden Tee when in the area, but…read moreapparently they got rid of that machine about 19 years ago. Anyway, the burger. This was my next stop on hitting every burger on Westword's Best Burger List, and I had the deLIGHT of that burger this past weekend. Straightforward, simplistic, and delicious. But, let's take a step back. First of all, the service was PERFECT throughout my visit. Cheryl was my bartender, and gave me efficient, personable, flawless service that elevated my visit. She catered to me, the new customer, and took care of the regulars well, as she obviously knew them all. They had a Voodoo Ranger IPA on tap for me, which made me happy. I was able to get a seat at the bar luckily, and I think you have to be lucky, as the regulars populate them well. Back to the burger. As I said, very simplistic yet tasty. You get chips with it, and a side of onions and pickles. It was worth the trip, and worth being on that list, without a doubt. It is ironic that my darkest lighting in my pics IS the burger-guess I needed a candle lit next to it for a better pic. See what I did there? The bar area is on one side as you come in the door, and the place circles back around to it through the game room. You could technically do bar laps if you wanted to, although that would be a little weird at a dive bar. Pool tables, darts, foosball, and they had some blues rock in the background. Great atmosphere. Don't go looking for white table clothes here. But, if looking for lots of games, a cool dive element, and a surprisingly fantastic burger, this is your place. I highly recommend, and see you there...

Hadn't been to Herb's since 2006. It was fun to go back. Great dive bar vibes. Drinks are…read morereasonably priced, and though I only had water, I heard they make a mean martini. Lots of fun going on - great music, trivia, and of course great people watching. The two bartenders working seemed like fun dudes who were accustomed to the regulars as well as the "irregulars" such as myself. Great place. Give it a shot.

Herb's has been around for over 90 years, and they keep it simple--no cover, an alcohol & snack list, and live music. With a mix of regulars and people stopping in who happen to pass by, Herb's is very welcoming. My slightly dirty vodka martini was very good, and at $8/$9 depending on the vodka you choose, a steal of a deal for LoDo!

I went to Denver for a girls' getaway with one of my besties and she knows that I love to dance and…read moreabsolutely love 80's music, so she found The Delorean for us. I looked online and found that they were hosting an all Vinyl 80's dance party with no cover charge on Saturday night... how cool is that!! So, we took a rideshare from Downtown to The Delorean. I am not familiar with that area of town, but there looked to be several bars and restaurants nearby. Anyway, upon entering, we were immediately greeted with a library of cassette tapes. Then, we wandered further to see lots of neon lights and neon carpeting, cases of nostalgia featuring various toys and games from the 80's, as well as lot's of music posters. The cocktail menu was super cool, with drinks named after 80's songs and movies. There was a fun little photo booth in back. I ordered a Pretty in Pink cocktail, which featured jasmine and rose gin with champagne and elderflower liquor with a huge champagne bubble. My friend ordered the She-Ra Colada because it came it a really cute Tiki cup. I think she enjoyed it because she ordered a second. That night, there was an Ape (yes a man in an ape suit) playing 80's vinyl all night. Also, he was giving away records. If you enjoyed a song, you could ask and he would give you the record after it finished playing. I brought home a single by the Klymaxx (Meeting in the Ladies' Room). My friend and I had an absolute blast. We danced the night away and made 80's music-loving friends who we shared stories with about various 80's bands. A server wearing Strawberry Shortcake served us drinks at our table all night. The only bummer is that the dance night went from 9- midnight. After the Ape DJ left, the music was a bit on the quiet side, so we left rather than staying to dance, as the dance party had ended and it was still early. All in all, though I was disappointed, as I wanted to dance until 2AM, The Delorean was still one of my absolute favorite experiences during my Denver weekend stay.

Indie 102.3 hosts also did short versions of the top 15 bands from 2025. A nice evening.

At the time they said it's something they're doing in partnership with the Denver Public Library (DPL) every other month on a Tuesday night. We saw an osbcure, older blaxploitation superhero film that was funny at times! Probably not intentionally, or was it? I have no idea! They DPL even had a card maker for you to get a new library card! And told me about Kanopy, an app I can sign up for with DPL and watch free movies at home! They also had some free magnets of the movie, which was pretty cool. The bar had a video game in there and I think they may have music sometimes, too. Wasn't able to confirm (I was watching a movie and getting my library card & magnet!).
