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.

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...

We were seated quickly, our server was attentive and friendly, and everyone seemed genuinely happy to help. The menu offered plenty of choices, and everything we ordered was delicious. The flavors were balanced, the ingredients tasted fresh, and every plate arrived at the perfect temperature. It's obvious that the kitchen takes pride in what they serve. Even the drinks were prepared perfectly and paired well with our meal. The atmosphere was another highlight. The restaurant was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had a relaxed vibe that made us want to stay longer. It felt welcoming without trying too hard, which made the experience even better. I rarely leave reviews, but this place truly deserves one. It's refreshing to find a restaurant where the quality of the food, the level of service, and the overall experience all come together so well. I will definitely be returning and recommending this place to friends and family.

This mute beige recess invites all kinds of speculation, the mind goes wild: when I pull the handle, will I see a luminous grotto filled with goblins swinging around on ropes, squirting each other with seltzer bottles and throwing pies? Or maybe an alabaster dais with a single key, or weirder yet, a long hallway to another door just like the one I'm standing in front of now? I've never even noticed this door. Behind it is a tidy, plain barroom with nautical stuff on the walls and low lighting, Tammy Wynette on the jukebox, a single row of barflies stoking the low murmur of morning-beer conversation, and possibly one of the nicest ladies you'll ever meet, Cathy Lyons, behind the bar. Lyons refuses my tip ("The girls that work for us take them, but we don't. We figure things are expensive enough."). She and her husband bought this place 22 years ago, and started the slow process of repeatedly kicking out the riff raff. The years of diligent 86ing have paid off in an unassuming, comfortable room where locals can come drink cheaply and safely. 22 years of work for one clean little barroom. I am humbled by what it can take to get the smallest things right, and am reminded how I need to stop trying to stake out Infinite Jests in my head all the time and just try to get this paragraph right, right now, for you. Let me know how I'm doing from time to time. Maybe you will find my striving here laid clean and bare, and perfect for the morning you find it.

The gist is I guess it's supposed to feel like an old bar car on a train - I didn't remotely get that vibe except maybe the tin ceiling? I was also not warned by the rec that we should stick more to beers or wine here, not cocktails even though they have a pretty decent cocktail menu. I got two grapefruit mimosas which were pretty good and what I expected. My husband first had the paper plane which he said was fine, but then he ordered the bar's Manhattan (meaning they have one they make on their cocktail menu) and it tasted like bourbon and water - like, really not good. He told the bartender and she remade it, but it was still not good. The bartender struck us as....something off? Drunk? Completely out of it? I love a good bartender (friendly, chatty, funny, whatever) and she just seemed in a daze which I think kind of soured our visit. The rest of the people at the bar were fine, nothing too exciting happened. A guy did come in and ask for a glass of water because a trash can outside was on fire, so that was a new one. Upside is they do have some parking on the side of the building so it was nice not to have to park on the street. But even as a dive bar goes, wasn't quite our speed.

I wish I would've thought to take pictures of the interior but, alas, I was living in the moment and enjoying myself too much! I guess you could call the spot a dive bar, but I felt like it was one or two notches above a dive bar. They have top shelf liquor for purchase, a good selection of beers, and specialty shots. I ordered a Tanqueray and 2 specialty shots and the total was just under $20. They had beers for $5 and they even had a PBR, shot of whiskey, and a random cigarette for $6. Lol There was also free popcorn! There were a lot of things to do including 2 pool tables, 2 dartboards, and the hook ring toss game that's super fun. The interior had neon signs from old gas stations, and re-purposed car seats for seating. It was definitely mechanic themed, but without all of the toxic masculinity. This is a cute vibe for rockabilly folks or queers. My favorite part was the music! It was a mid 2000s Indie vibe, with a couple retro/modern bangers thrown in. I hadn't heard the songs from Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette in decades and it brought me back. Overall a super cute place, great service, wonderful bartenders, and a great vibe! This is new favorite bar in Denver.
