Not exactly somewhere you take someone you want to impress but good vibes nonetheless. The night we went, there wasn't anything going on but I could see it being more lively considering they have space for a DJ, or even something like salsa nights. There is an outdoor space that was decent and had space heaters too! Drinks were decently priced but don't expect anything fancy here. The highlight of our visit had to be 'That's So Raven's playing on the TV.

Canopy ~ A South Broadway Go~To That Gets It Right…read more If you're looking for a South Broadway spot with great music, good people, solid drinks, and consistently good vibes, Canopy is one of those places that just gets it right. Location: Great spot right on South Broadway, making it an easy go-to whether you're meeting friends, coworkers, out-of-towners, or just looking for somewhere to let loose for the night. Music & Vibes: The DJs consistently bring the energy and, more importantly, know how to keep the room moving. I really appreciate the variety of music they play~you're not getting stuck listening to the same genre all night. There's a great mix of people and ages here, and the atmosphere usually has that perfect balance of people hanging out, dancing, laughing, and enjoying themselves. Drinks: One of the things that keeps me coming back is the value. Drinks are reasonably priced, especially compared with some other spots around Denver where it feels like your wallet needs a designated driver. Canopy keeps the prices reasonable while still offering an extensive craft beer selection, which is a huge plus for me. Service: The bartenders are consistently friendly, quick, and attentive. Even when things get busy, they keep things moving without making you feel ignored. Great service can make or break a night, and Canopy delivers. Security: Another big positive is having security on-site. South Broadway can sometimes come with its share of... Broadway shenanigans. Having security around gives you a little extra peace of mind so you can focus on enjoying your night instead of dealing with unnecessary BS. The Verdict Canopy has become one of those reliable South Broadway destinations where you know you're going to find good music, a fun crowd, friendly bartenders, reasonably priced drinks, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you're in town, visiting Denver, bringing coworkers out, meeting friends, or just looking for a place to dance and grab a drink, Canopy is worth checking out. Great location. Great DJs. Great people. Great service. Great beer selection. Great value. South Broadway has plenty of options, but Canopy is one of the spots that continues to stand out. Flip Flamingos verdict: Come for the drinks. Stay for the music, dancing, and vibes. Leave with stories. Brews. Views. Food. And apparently... a little dancing too.

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.

And having that experience at Lost Lake Lounge was absolute perfection. Hope I can get back again some time. Flew in from Boise, ID, just to see the lads perform. TOP NOTCH! I didn't actually try anything from the bar, but several of the other concert goers seemed to enjoy the libations! Such a nice, cozy, but not grungy vibe!

Colfax hums like a bad secret, and The Squire is where it comes to confess…read more You push open the door and the night exhales -- velvet dark, cigarette haze, neon bleeding at the edges like lipstick left too long on a glass. The room smells like bourbon, sin, and stories you shouldn't tell. Sierra stands behind the bar, a silhouette in amber light. She doesn't pour drinks; she deals in surrender. Her eyes catch you like a hook -- slow drag, long pour, a smile that says you're already in trouble, darling. You don't argue. You just let the evening take you. The jukebox hums something low and dangerous. Someone laughs in the corner -- the kind of laugh that starts a decade of mistakes. Ice clinks. Smoke curls. Time forgets itself. Every drink is a dare, every look a confession. You lose track of what you ordered and why. Maybe it was whiskey. Maybe it was forgiveness. Sierra slides it your way, and for a moment, you swear she knows exactly what you came here to forget. By the time you step back onto Colfax, the air feels colder, the city quieter -- like the night itself is watching you leave. You won't remember the details, just the pulse of it -- the way her hand brushed yours when she took the glass, the way the world tilted, the way you didn't want it to end.

It's a dive bar. It's a comedy stage. It's a music powerhouse. What is Lion's Lair, if not iconic?!…read more If you're looking for a place that's all heart, loud and proud, it is HERE. Anybody who's come out of Colorado to become a big name has gone through those doors to play on the little stage. From local to traveling acts, from punk bands and karaoke talent to gritty stand-up and flirty burlesque, this place has it. If you're up for a night that doesn't stink of ordinary, swing through that creaky door and take in a most memorable evening. If there is a cover, it's usually nominal. Drinks are cheap, served by a great crew that's always up for a laugh and cheers. Sometimes hitting the town isn't about getting fancy but just kicking back, and this is a great place to do just that off the mainstream treads.

Great little dive bar on Colfax! Came here for the first time last night to see a DJ (or set of DJs…read moreI guess) that we like. The interior is small but I like how the bar is set up kind of in a rectangle so you're actually facing some other people (maybe awkward, but feels more communal?) They had an inexpensive menu of basic beers. They were out of the drink I wanted so the bartender made me a creation that I guess is something the doorman likes - not bad, and I think it was about $10 which is pretty decent for a mixed drink. I noticed a big red counter/clock on the wall across from us and after a few seconds we deduced it was a decibel meter. I'm curious if they have restrictions here for noise - AOK by me. The volume was generally alright (a little loud but what isn't?) and they actually had a sound guy in the corner making sure the volume and quality sounded good. Overall had a very decent Saturday night here.
