    SEP2024 Cool little spot to land for a view and people watching. The bartender was chill and helpful with any questions. They had a taco truck also in the parking lot but we had plans for food with friends already as it was. We were able to grab a few drinks to start the day and banter with some locals. We also watched many people run around the lake with gusto that we didn't have around that time in the morning. Not on vacation anyway. We'd certainly swing by again for a spell or to end the night if in the area.

    All the qualities of a great dive bar! Old school vibe, great tunes, cool staff and cash only. Oh and a cool view of the lake across the street. No pretentiousness here

    When you hate your job ‍

    Great old school vibe. Needs a deep cleaning . But whatever, it's a dive bar. Cash only. I'm a Denver Native from the neighborhood who has forever stopped by in the early evenings or after Broncos Games for a cold one. Recently , there is this one woman Bartendar who is extremely rude, hateful and harsh with all patrons. How can any business owner allow this behavior from an employee ?! Even after numerous patrons complained in a single night? Unbelievable!? Spend your money 2 blocks down at skyline bar, or Edgewater INN or the edgewater beer garden or anywhere else but LAKE VIEW LOUNGE. I'll meet you there!! . No human deserves this nonsense. CHEERS!!!

    The only reason I come here is because they remain a true dive bar, no yuppies please. Lakeview never sell out

    Everyone needs a reliable dive bar in their lives. At least, that's my opinion, man. Since I moved to Denver last year, I've driven by Lakeview Lounge at least 50 times. Joking around, we've said in conversations that we have to go here at least once. For goodness sake, they open at 7am every day! With the impending quarantine on the horizon and a good friend in town who loves dive bars, the boys decided to end the night here. You either get it or you don't. That's really what dives are all about. Drafts of Coors Banquet at $3.50, served in a giant glass. At least 20 ounces! Jukebox playing classic Beatles rarities, Dire Straits, and The Doors. Old leather booths (with a few rips and tears) that make you feel like the king and queen you really are. Two female bartenders hustling all night. Pouring drinks, bussing tables, washing glasses, etc. Neon and vintage signage throughout the entire bar. Bathrooms are cramped and could use a remodel. In my opinion, Lakeview Lounge is a semi-magical place. And as the name suggests, the patio boasts a fine view of Sloan's Lake. It's not for everyone, and that's damn okay.

    Bunch of old creepy men and shitty owner with a bad attitude. Nice bartender though. I like dive bars but this one just isn't it.

It breaks down like this: Are you looking for a relaxing day with some locals and regulars who love this place (maybe a little too much) and have built a legitimate community around it? I suggest weekend afternoons for some tunes on the jukebox and sports on the TVs, Tuesday nights for open mic and Wednesday nights for Poker. Looking to find the broad of your dreams with those child bearing hips and a vague interest in the trad wife movement? Try Thursday and Saturday nights for Karaoke (and wear your square-toed cowboy boots and trucker hat, the ladies love that shit here). One thing is always true though, the management and bartenders are friendly, warm and great at their jobs. Regardless of the day or time, you'll find a professional behind the bar ready to make you feel welcome- but don't be a douche, even pros have their limits. So, pick your time wisely but whenever you go, you'll likely leave feeling a little better than when you arrived.

I usually sit at the bar and order from their extensive cocktail menu comprised of fancy-sounding ingredients. Their drinks are themed and highly creative.

Honestly the vibe of the place (and probably why I love it so much) can be summarized by their neon sign outside: Rizz 'Em with the Tism.
