Wednesday nights are fantastic at Barfly!…read more Every other Wednesday, there is a live, free comedy show in the bar area starting at 8pm. The Wednesdays that are not comedy nights are live TV Game Show nights where you can play Family Feud, Wheel of Fortune, etc. for free and win silly prizes. This also starts at 8pm. These are super fun events to just drop by after a movie at Alamo.

So, funny thing . . . I had been wanting to write a review of Barfly for a few years. But, my…read morebrain kept having me entering "Bar Fly" (two words), and it could not be found on Yelp. So, with no check-ins, I never received a "write a review" reminder. One of those oddities of life I guess. This place slaps. I only learned that phrase in the last two years, so it still feels odd to say. For those unhip, unaware, or older than me folks, "Slap" is a slang verb meaning "to be excellent or amazing." I guess, this is the new amazeballs, which I actually once enjoyed using as a descriptor. Barfly (yes, as I type it, I keep hearing "Barf-Lee", which is less than appetizing), is great. This is the lounge/big bar/small stage/event area just to the left as you walk in to the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema Sloans Lake. Which is my favorite place to see films. If you do not like Alamo Drafthouse, you are probably one of those terrible human beings who enjoy talking and texting during films. Which if you did not know, may be fine for your living room, but is trash behavior in a movie theatre. Feel free to fight me on this. Barfly has comedy. It has game show night. It hosts groups showing horror films. It has live music. It has trivia. It has drag queen bingo (hmmm, why is there no "drag queen trivia"?). It has a full bar with solid beer offerings. It has the entire Alamo theatre menu available. It has hard working staff members (Rae and Sam are extra awesome). It has varied seating (stools, chairs -- both high & low, leather armchairs and couches). It has big televisions. It . . . it . . . it . . . slaps.

We'll couldn't resist the warm, golden pretzel bites with their soft, pillowy center but the rich, slightly spicy queso combined with a great local brew while my wife enjoyed the espresso martini as a perfect bridge between a leisurely lunch and a busy evening ahead.. As my wife and friends each ventured into dishes such as the Chicken Tinga Tostada, the loaded chopped Sirloin Tacos, Tempura Cauliflower Tacos and the Ahi Tuna Bowl I couldn't help but eye thier reactions & seek out their input on the dishes (plus manage to score a few bites ) The patio itself did true to it's name sake - spacious, comfortable & energetic without feeling crowded. Groups gathered for drinks and food with friends and pets alike, and everyone seemed to be taking full advantage of a perfect Denver day and a fantastic place that's as much about the experience as it is the food

Our waitress was attentive and provided us with great service. The food we ordered was excellent. Ahi Tuna Salad $19.50 sesame seared ahi tuna, mixed greens, mango, roasted red peppers, pickled red onions, slivered almonds, toasted sesame ginger dressing. The dressing was definitely my favorite. Provided a good portion of tuna. Patio Burger $17.50 double patty, American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion. We opted the pickles and special sauce. The fries were crispy and warm.

And then…read morethere are moments when they are just heavy objects being pulled toward the earth by gravity, wanting nothing more than a chair, a cooked piece of dough, and a cold glass of beer to dull the edges of the evening. The remarkable thing is that the second quest often yields the greater joy. Five of us, all varying degrees of exhausted from a long day of sightseeing, stumbled into Odell Brewing's Sloan's Lake Brewhouse at the corner of 17th and Perry. We were not looking for a miracle. We were looking for a soft place to land. We ordered our dinner, then ventured up to the rooftop patio, which looks out over the lake. I'm told that when the entire surrounding landscape isn't engulfed in flames that you can clearly see the jagged spine of the Rocky Mountains from up there. It is a very fine place to sit while the planet rotates away from the sun. They have a second bar up there that is just as well stocked as the one on the main floor, and the space was filled with the pleasant, low-grade hum of people who were glad to be alive and not currently looking at a screen. The kitchen turns out scratch-made pizzas, so we ordered a Margherita and a Garden Harvest. You must understand something about the five of us: we come from Central and Northern New Jersey. In our part of the world, opinions about pizza are not casual preferences; they are inherited like family heirlooms or chronic joint pain. To say that a group of Jersey natives found these pizzas to be genuinely good is a small miracle of regional diplomacy. They weren't trying to imitate a New York slice. They were just honest, well-baked pies with fresh ingredients, which is an honorable thing for a pizza to be. Then there was the beer. According to their website, this location houses a 10-barrel pilot system where they brew experimental, small-batch R&D beers you can't get anywhere else. I believe them. The fruited sour we sampled was bright and lively, the sort of beer that makes you wonder why so many other breweries get the style completely wrong. The porter was equally memorable, rich, dark, and smooth, with deep roasted notes that made it far too easy to drink. It was a beautiful piece of liquid craftsmanship. The staff was fast and entirely devoid of the plastic, rehearsed cheer you so often find in corporate franchises. They brought things out before we had time to grow cranky, and they seemed genuinely glad we had wandered into their corner of Denver. We had expected a purely transactional exchange of money for calories before going to sleep. Instead, we got a rooftop at dusk, exceptional beer, and the sudden, sweet realization that the day had ended exactly as it should. People are strange, fragile creatures, but occasionally we stumble into the right table at the right time.

In addition there is an amazing patio that is kid friendly games to play great design. I mean they rebuilt this thing amazingly. Great place I would definitely check it out and tip those bartenders good they deserve it.

The drinks are a little expensive... but to eat street tacos at a leather daddy bar is still fun!!!!

I remember when Bookbar occupied this space many moons ago. I used to like that place a lot. Well, I'm also beginning to like the new life My Boy Tony has brought here. It caters to a younger crowd, whether you're bar hopping on Tennyson with a group or looking for a spot to take a hot date. For better and worse, it's a neighborhood bar at its core. The most shocking thing is how they transformed the space from the previous tenants. It has a beautiful open layout with nice furniture and design. The bartenders are generally friendly and prices are in line with similar cocktail bars in Denver. The few times I've been here I've been in a cocktail mood. Negronis and Old Fashioneds are made well and are slow sippers I enjoy. They do have a nice selection of wines that I'll have to try when it tickles my fancy. The only hiccups here for me are some really long wait times for drinks. They usually have two bartenders and sometimes it gets really backed up. No one is running the floor when I've been there bussing and wiping down tables. Though I understand with a location here it can go from being empty to completely slammed in a matter of minutes! If you're looking for a cool, comfortable bar without the pretentiousness or judgment, check out My Boy Tony.

Maybe. Probably not, but willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. It feels like they found it on the side of the road in the middle of Iowa, dusted it off, gave it some spit shine and put it to work. And then personally curated only the most saccharine, soulless, slop they could find, really digging for the worst humanity had to offer on vinyl. It falls short of a crime. But not by much. If the US Gov't weaponizes that jukebox, we'd all be dead. It's the ICE of jukeboxes. If you can manage that and you're able to counter the irresistible urge to jam the small end of a screwdriver in your ear and wiggle it around real fast, then it's a cool bar.

I thought the brown paper bag covered cheap "mystery shots" would be fun! Until we tried two of them and all they were under that bag are the highly sugared nasty stuff like liqueurs and schnapps -- ick. Be cool if they did real booze, which can also be cheap as that sugary stuff. Boo. I thought this would be a great spot to get a high powered Long Island Iced Tea but I was massively disappointed. It's served in one of those tiny, skinny glasses where the ice cubes fill 60% of it and each shot was like a half shot or less. One of the worst long islands I've had at a bar and it barely had any booze in it (which is the entire point of ordering one). This should've been the spot to get a stiff one for a good price. Boo.

If you care about beer history, technique, and authenticity ~ Seedstock Brewery is non-negotiable…read more In a city flooded with trend-chasing hazies and pastry stouts, Seedstock quietly does something harder: they honor Czech and German brewing traditions with discipline and precision. The tap list reads like a Central European passport ~ German Pilsner, Baltic Porter, Roggen, Bohemian Dunkel ~ all brewed with restraint, balance, and intention. But what makes this place special isn't just the beer. It's Jerry greeting people like old friends. It's Cathy making sure you're comfortable. It's Adam brewing like he understands he's carrying legacy, not just recipes. The White Stout was the sleeper hit. Creamy body, roasty character, smooth finish ~ without the dark pour you expect. It's the kind of beer that makes you pause mid-sip and go, "Okay... they know what they're doing." The taproom feels warm and unpretentious. Industrial but inviting. You'll see regulars at the bar, flights lined up like a color wheel, and zero ego behind the counter. Seedstock doesn't scream for attention. It earns respect. If you appreciate craft beer rooted in tradition rather than trends, this is one of Denver's most underrated breweries. I'll absolutely be back ~ especially for that White Stout. Bonus I got be there during their really fun & energetic Bingo night
