I’ve gone there several times now. Lots of TVs and sports playing. Good food. Great bartenders. Regulars. This is the place to come to. If you walk in and it seems dead, give it half an hour and it’s bumpin’. Tonight was the first time I tried KARAOKE 🎤. (Wednesday) I had so much fun! There’s all ages. Hot girls. Cool dudes. Dive bar, but perfect. Don’t even waste your time with the other spots over there.

Been living near here for awhile now, and will preface by saying that I'm not a sports bar guy -- I love dives (especially if I can wrangle up an Old Style boilermaker late at night), but in general I much prefer to chat with drunk weirdos than drunk jocks. That said! We've been sleeping on Cheapskates too long -- staff is incredibly friendly and the food is SO good. Best fries / wings we have had in town. If you are similar sports-bar-averse but like dives and good food, give it a shot!

We were there to celebrate my brother’s 40th birthday. Brought a big group, spent good money, and wanted to have a fun night. Instead, we left angry and honestly just sick to our stomachs.

It started with a woman swinging around a fake gun during karaoke. Nobody batted an eye. No staff said anything. How is that even remotely okay in this day and age?

But the worst part? A white guy gets on the mic and just starts singing the N-word like it was nothing. Over and over. And the DJ didn’t stop it—instead, he defended it. Literally said, “He can say whatever he wants, whether it’s the N-word or not. He’s singing a song.”

Are you serious?

I don’t care if it’s in the lyrics. I don’t care if you're drunk. You don’t say that word. And it’s even worse when the DJ—the person running the mic—backs it up like it’s no big deal. That moment made it really clear: they don’t care who feels uncomfortable, disrespected, or unsafe. As long as people keep drinking, they’ll let anything slide.

And yeah—I get it. We live in a mostly white area. But that doesn’t make this okay. That actually makes it even more important to speak up when this kind of thing happens. And Cheapskates didn’t.

The drinks might be cheap, but the values here are cheaper. The vibe? Trash. And the silence around blatant racism? Loud as hell.

We won’t be back. And I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone who expects even the bare minimum of respect.

Cheapskates was welcoming and just had funiminal vibes. We walked in last minute with a massive group, and they did their very best to accommodate. The service was fast and the drinks were cheap. You can't really ask for more than that!

it's exactly what you want it to be, a small corner bar where you can either start or end your night.

Great food, great staff, great place. This is a spot to definitely check out. Brunch is better then the other spots around town and alot more affordable. The vibes are great on football Sundays with a lot of different fans in the bar. You really can't go wrong if you choose cheaps.

Came across this casual restaurant and bar while looking for lunch in Olde Towne Arvada on a weekday. Wasn't too crowded and sat down at table without any wait. Had some chicken wings on their Thursday Special ($0.75 per wing), and split the order with Stoner and Bronco sauces, both VERY very good! Friendly and attentive service, along with some interesting decor inside the restaurant too, like a ski lift chair (?) as a seat at one of the tables!! Parking is not adjacent, you might have to park on another block in Olde Towne or use one of the municipal lots a few blocks away. Across the street from the RTD station in Arvada. Looking forward to a return visit. Recommended!

Its a sports bar. Go into it knowing that and the food is fine.

Go here for the Cheers' vibe of being part of something fun. Is the food good? No. Are the drinks good? Meh. Go for the true vibe bar experience of literally being in a 90s sitcom. 100% recommend.
