“My childhood bar. Had my first drink here when I was a kid.“

“Love this bar!!! It’s a complete local gem. Great vibe with some of the best drinks in the neighborhood.“

“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.“

“It’s relaxing atmosphere and it’s great piano player. A nice place to relax and have a drink.“

“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!!“

“So fun at Berkeley Inn! Kareoke was the highlight of the evening and being able to play some pool with complete strangers is always a good time! But I love being able to take such fun pictures with the buzzy booth! Always fun memories when you look at them the next morning! #theberkeleyinn @theberkeleyinn #buzzybooth“

“Visiting friends while on vacation from Indianapolis. The Nob Hill Inn came highly recommended by a friend. When we walked in, I knew that I would love the place. And I do! Definitely going to swing back thru when I come back out to Denver! Thank you for the great time and atmosphere! Cheers!“

“So awesome! Miss Denise!“

“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
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘“

“Nice bartenders and they care enough to treat you nice!!!“

“Dons is the perfect place to grab a beer or to spend your whole evening. Great staff (including door guys), great activity opportunities (golf, buck, foosball, pool, shuffle board, duck claw, etc), great (cheap) drinks. They even have a touch tunes- what more could you want?“

“Good music cool comfortable space 🤙“

“The Best bartender here is Leticia, I've been coming to the Athmar off and on for awhile now and the best bartender is Leticia she is hands down the best she always knows exactly what I need or any of my friends when we walk in she's the best so polite and on top of her game we will always keep going back thank you so much Leticia for being so happy and so amazing every time we go there your amazing ? keep doing what you do“

“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.“

“Great neighborhood watering hole.“

“On this night not alot of people I know but on December 17th they are going to have Santa and gifts for the kids hope to see many of my friends I still enjoy going to the boogie always show such respect un like the viking although lately none of the people who think they can keep me out of their have been around told them I'd be around longer than they were going to be born and raised I will go where I want when I want it's still America“

“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!“

“I recommend very highly that folks visit this long time Pub . Great management, great staff, and a great time to be had .“

“The definition of a neighborhood bar. I lived 3 blocks away and quickly became family. Exactly what a place needs to be and nothing more. Come in, be a genuine person you’ll quickly be a member of the family too. I have since moved away and here 4 months later wishing I had one more night with them! See you soon down the road!“
