“for one thing the food is the bomb they have the best of everything the cook there is really really good the waitresses are really really nice and the owner always comes out and speaks to his customers just a wonderful place I've been going there for years“

“They have popcorn to munch on. Limited menu. Nothing that I can eat because it's not Gluten-free. You can bring in your own food! It is a bar with 2 pool tables. The bartender is great! I go on Tuesday for Karaoke. They also have Karaoke on Friday. Friday is a much busier. The KJ (Karaoke Jockey) is awesome and accommodating! He also takes requests for music videos.“

“Great bartenders and great karaoke!“

“This place is amazing! I came in town late at night and googled the closest bar to me to see what's up in Denver and happened upon this place. Best my blind luck has ever been. Going in as a female knowing not a soul is a bit scary when you don't know where you are but this place made me feel like I was on an episode of Cheers. I was immediately greeted and made to feel like I was at home. I've been back 4 times out of my 5 days here. I can't rave about this place enough. Especially bingo Wednesday. So fun even if he doesn't call my numbers!! Come here, it's where it's at!!“

“I came here for the burger. I will be honest. But, once I walked in, I realized that I had had a great time previously after a concert at Mission. What a great little place this is (with a whole miniature golf course and a bunch of picnic tables in the back). First and foremost, Alex was my bartender, and the service was flawless...even while he was extremely busy when I first got there. Spot-on service throughout my visit, and he definitely elevated the visit. Good selection of cocktails, beers, and liquor, and great energy in the place. So, a cool place to hang out in general, but let me get to the burgers served there. Dalton's is the place, and it is a window inside the place. I went there because it was on Westword's Best Burger list, and I was NOT disappointed. You do you, but I got the double with fries and some kind of magical pimento cheese dip that worked beautifully with the fries. Cole was the guy who handled my order at the window, and was extremely efficient and nice. And, he was BUSY. If you are not looking for white tablecloths, and sit-down service, then this place is...absolutely perfect. You sort of need to have that constant internal yearning for finding dive bars like I do, but, again, you do you. I threw that burger on my top burgers list already, and definitely plan on trying it again soon. And, I can play some miniature golf next time. This place is awesome, and you should definitely drop in soon. I highly recommend this place overall, and DEFINITELY the burger too, and see you there...“

“Stopped in mid-day Sunday for a Bloody Mary and Bloody Maria. Although very quiet, we were happy to visit with the bartender. House made mix extra spicy as ordered. Bartender was an absolute gentleman and EASY on the eyes ?! Will have to check this place out on a Friday or Saturday evening. Exceptionally clean bathrooms a plus!“

“Ordered a straight pour of Glenfarclas scotch and an old fashioned with Hayden basil bourbon - our total was $18 for both! Plus, folks that are visibly femme or “ladies” get a rose and everyone gets a mini Alabama slammer shot once you sit down. Bartenders will tend to you at your table, though when they’re busy it can be a bit slower. No playing cards on the weekends, but it’s fine to do so on weekdays. Staff was super kind when telling us this after we had pulled out our cards. Oh and the staff? Super nice, patient but very efficient, and kind to those who are dropping into PS for the first time. Def make this a stop if you’re hanging on colfax.

P.s. PS lounge is cash only! There’s an atm inside PS. If you’d appreciate a walk, there’s also an atm a few blocks down inside of the LOVA canna co dispo (3.50 charge at LOVA).

Wheelchair accessibility: bathrooms are not accessible for a wheelchair user (they are small AND up a single flight of steps). However, with the help of someone holding the entry doors open, I believe a wheelchair user could comfortably enter the bar and enjoy drinking there. There are minimal thresholds at the entrance(see pics), the doors are just not automatic. Plus the low price of drinks makes it a little more worth it to seek a bathroom elsewhere as needed. Tables at booths have supports in the middle (rather than edges) so a wheelchair could be rolled up to the table in a pinch. This might be tough during really busy times, but during slow or mid-busy times the walkway seems wide enough. Booths are also roomy enough between the table and the booth seat that it would be reasonable to self-transfer from a wheelchair to a booth for someone comfortable with doing so. There are a few spots close to the bar where a folded wheelchair could be stashed by a friend who is drinking with you. Staff is nice and I believe they would do their best to accommodate a place to place folded chair.“

“Squire Lounge has a cool retro neighborhood bar feel and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s a good place to stop by for a casual drink, especially if you like dive bars with a simple, laid-back vibe. The prices are reasonable, and the outdoor tables are a nice option when the weather is good. Service was okay overall, nothing too fancy, but friendly enough. It can feel a little crowded or loud at times, but that’s part of the bar’s character. Overall, a decent spot for a casual night out.“

“Amazing and Friendly place, The Vegan Poutine is to die for, like it's better than regular Poutine. It's so flavorful and huge. In a world of smaller portions it's so satisfying to have too much delicious food, Love it here!!“

“The cavern entrance is masked by a curtain of sun-scorched savanna grass, swaying like golden silk in the heat-shimmered air. Within, the atmosphere shifts abruptly; the searing brilliance of the plains gives way to a cool, amber-tinted dimness. The floor is a mosaic of pulverized limestone and the bleached, splintered remnants of forgotten feasts, smoothed by the constant passage of heavy, padded paws.

A heavy, musky scent hangs suspended in the stillness—the unmistakable aroma of sun-warmed fur and raw, primal power. Deep in the shadows, a rhythmic, rumbling vibration echoes off the stone walls, a low-frequency purr that thrums in the very marrow of your bones. Here, the undisputed monarch of the veldt retreats from the midday glare to watch the horizon with unblinking, copper eyes. It is a place of lethal grace and silent, predatory rest: a lion's lair.“
