Good bartenders, friendly, but bar lacks originality and warmth. I don't feel much of a soul, so I don't see myself planning my nights around a place like this BUT if you want to grab a beer, no frills, this is it.
Bar 404 in Denver is the kind of place you stumble into when you’ve given up on the night making sense and are just leaning into the absurdity. Tucked away in a part of the city that’s easy to miss unless you're looking for trouble—or escape—it’s got the vibe of a digital glitch in the matrix, like you crossed some invisible line between reality and the underworld.
The outside doesn’t scream for attention. No, 404 doesn’t need to. Its facade is a low-key whisper to the weary and the lost, a beacon for those who understand that the best nights aren’t planned. Inside, it’s dim—deliberately so, like they’re trying to hide something or protect you from seeing too much. The neon lights flicker, casting long shadows across the mismatched furniture that looks like it’s seen a thousand regrets and a million bad decisions.
The bar itself is a narrow slice of chaos. The bartenders operate with the manic energy of people who’ve seen it all and stopped caring somewhere along the way. They pour drinks fast and heavy, as if they know you’ll be needing them in quick succession. The clientele is a rotating cast of Denver’s drifters, hipsters, and the kind of late-night wanderers who find themselves there purely by accident—yet never leave early.
There’s a jukebox in the corner, blaring out a bizarre mix of punk rock, forgotten classics, and songs you’d swear were banned from radio for a reason. But somehow, the soundtrack fits the joint like a glove. Conversations blur into a cacophony of slurred words and cackling laughter as the drinks keep coming. Shots, craft beers, cocktails—they're all there, but this isn't a place to savor flavors. No, here you drink to feel alive, or at least forget you’re not.
The air’s thick, not with smoke, but with a palpable sense of impending disaster. Every hour could be the last before the lights flicker out for good. People play pool like they’re hustling for their next meal, and the dartboard—scarred from too many close calls—hangs in the back like a warning to keep your distance.
The bathroom? Let’s just say it’s best approached with low expectations. It’s a war zone of broken locks and questionable stains, a shrine to nights that didn’t go as planned but were survived nonetheless.
Bar 404 isn’t trying to be anything it’s not. It’s a glitch, a rogue anomaly in the landscape of Denver’s polished nightlife. It’s for those who crave something raw and unfiltered, a place where time slips away, and the night unravels in ways you’ll only half-remember. So, if you find yourself there, don’t fight it. Surrender to the chaos, lean into the glitch, and see where the night takes you. Just don’t expect to find any answers—or a way out—anytime soon.

Great neighborhood bar where they serve jazz on Wednesdays at 7. Some of the best musicians in town. Just a $5 cover. Food's good (try the onion rings!). Service is quick and friendly. Not a lot of places like this around anymore.

We checked this place out for the first time the other night and it was a really fun night. We loved the open patio where we could sit and eat some food while enjoying live music. The waitresses were super nice & the food was yummy as well.
