A historic tavern on Larimer that's been a dive, a cougar bar, and a live-music dance hall, sometimes all in one night. The drinks are stiff and cheap, a band usually occupies the small stage, and the whole place functions as a pressure valve for anyone who's had enough of the polished LoDo scene just outside. The occasional Phi Alpha Whatever will wander in, but the regulars absorb them without incident.
Two honors, in evidence:
The record strongest first
- Westword 2023 · Best Unpretentious Yet Legendary Venue · Best of Denver
- Westword 2025 · Best Bar in LoDo to Pretend You’re on Colfax · Best of Denver
One number, weighted & current 55
