“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“

“We love Greg, the bartender. He's so friendly and attentive. The drinks are reasonably priced at this establishment. We love the free popcorn. On Friday evenings, they have Karaokee all night. Saturdays seem to bring in a younger crowd. It's definitely a local, blue-collar type of establishment. They have pool tables and darts. There is ample parking.“

“Great bartenders and great karaoke!“

“I stopped by after work to check this place out. I can't say enough great things about this pub! The owner, Christian, was a salt of the earth sort of guy. It's a neighborhood pub with a lot of offerings such as bingo, karaoke, and live punk/folk/Americana music.
The prices are very reasonable for drinks, and the pickle shots are made with a secret homemade brine.“

“The first time we went, last year, it was such a great time and overall experience but this last was nothing even close. It was so busy that you couldn’t get a drink or golf. The bathroom had to be cleaned because someone urinated everywhere.
Not sure we will return….“

“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!“

“The Squire is such a cool dive bar — exactly what you hope for in a neighborhood spot. It’s laid-back, unpretentious, and has that perfect dive bar vibe without trying too hard. The drinks are cheap, the bartenders are friendly, and the atmosphere makes it easy to relax and have a good time.

If you’re looking for a spot in Denver that feels local and fun, this is it. I’d definitely come back next time I’m in town.“

“Love this historic spot... and, one of my favorite burgers in Denver. great for sports especially DU hockey and they have ca solid menu. Check it out!“

“Not really in the bar scene much these days but me and a friend came in after a dinner nearby and we said we’d check the vibe and leave if anything. Walked in liked the vibe and decided to stay. Would probably only had one and left but the place was cool and gives you a free shot and rose so we stayed for more than one and will hope to be back. Love the photos and the retro music player, cool bar. Cash only.“

“This place is incredible! My wife and I love a hometown dive and we found it on our trip to Denver last week. Megan the bartender and the owners were awesome and everyone was very welcoming. We spent a few hours here and would have stayed longer if we didn’t have to meet some friends downtown (womp womp) 10/10 Will be going back next trip and can’t wait!!“

“The Crypt is fantastic. The whole vibe is perfect. Dark and Spooky. Great old horror movies playing on the screens. Tasty food. Awesome drinks. A terrifying bathroom.. in a good and spooky way. I love the Goth nights. The occasional venders. All the variety of shows they have. And the Staff
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘“

“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.“

“Pioneer has the best bartenders around. Brian taught me how to successfully invest in the stock market and now I’m a millionaire; Eva lovingly and willingly hand-feeds me tacos because I was born without arms; Bret (with only one T) lets me win at putputt (with two Ts) every time; Jason personally saved my entire family from a burning building (that he set on fire); and Hailey is just crazy hot. Highly recommend!“
