“$11 for a craft beer and a mixed drink? Yes thanks. They also give out free shots but they seem a lot like Tampico.

I'm a huge fan of old school dive bar atmosphere and this is everything I could dream of. Back to the jukebox now...“

“This macabre meeting place is a nod to horror films of every ilk. Dungeonous decor includes skull artifices and all manners of dark memorabilia. The poutine, chosen in homage to bygone Canadian allies, was pretty, pretty good. I love that the menu’s meat-centric choices are badged with a bloody butcher knife, translated by the legend as “Something was Murdered,” to at least perhaps peck at the shell of consumer cognitive dissonance. Next time I plan on murdering that bahn mi.“

Lion's Lair Bar • $
2022 E Colfax Ave, Denver

“We were chilling for the first time in the Mile High City, thinking we were heading to the Lion’s Lair comedy club, and somehow Google maps ended up taking us to the Denver Zoo Lion's Lair first—my buddy and I looked at each other like, “We're freeing the lions or what?” Luckily, the real spot was just four minutes away. Cheap drinks, raw comedy, and a dive-bar vibe that will make you laugh, cringe, and maybe fall in love with a comic still figuring out their bits—Lion’s Lair is pure chaos in the best way. Keep an open mind. Make art not war.“

“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!“
