cool spot, cool art gallery, nice drinks, BUT the bartenders are absolutely hostile. they were drinking a l o t, one of them was doing coke in the bathroom, two of them almost got in a fight in the hallway in front of the bathroom literally screaming each other, and then randomly one decides he’s had enough of us, accuses my buddy of slurring his words, refuse to serve all ten of us, charges my other friend a 200$ tab for all of us even though we’re were paying separately as we go, and then makes us leave. literally so aggro when we were being normal and chill.

EXCELLENT jazz. Love the double denim, the absolute salt and whiskey vibes. No one come here, as a demand.
Cameron Ellis
Service was horrible. The $14 taste of japan drink was also horrible.

Very dive bar. Came on a Tuesday night around 930pm. Very chill. Not crowded. Great drinks. Decent price. No food.

I love the cozy atmosphere of this little cocktail bar! Perfect hideaway spot

It's our favorite bar in Denver. I grew up here, but only visit from time to time now. PonPon is hands down Denver's coolest bar, and it's not simply surface: yes, the atmosphere is exceedingly cool, but it's also extremely playful, and if you feel intimidated by the atmosphere, the incredibly warm bar staff will help you feel at ease. This is truly a sophisticated spot posing as a dive bar - you can get a glass of Txlakolina as readily as you might get a $4 Gennessee, or the best Japanese whisky cocktail as easily as a Mexican Coke or a glass of Four Roses from the 1970s salvaged from an estate sale. There's something here for everyone, from the eclectic decor to the art gallery in back. This is a must visit spot if you like cozy watering holes with kick-a music and awesome service.

Excellent neighborhood cocktail bar. Little loud at times with great, sometimes eclectic music. Has a mini art gallery in the back.

Has to be the kindest and most inclusive staff in Denver. I go here to feel safe.
Pon Pon is the most fun bar ever! I love the underwater theme, the lighting is on point, drinks are great and pretty cheap, and it’s so fun to look at art while having a beer and catching up with friends!

Cold beers, red wine and coke, a little gallery space in the back. Record spinning, dimly lit, wicked space with art all over the walls, and cool furnishings. I love coming here whenever I'm in Denver, the vibes are immaculate. What more could a guy want from a bar?

Horrible establishment. The bartenders only care about tips. They do not care about the service. You want a drink? I recommend another place. The bartender came up to me and asked why I tipped zero. I said because you had an attitude when I asked for a simple drink. Learn to treat your clients. This business is not about you it’s about the consumers that want to have a good time.

Hardly enjoyed our visit to this kitschy little bar that tries to hard to hip and cool. Very dark inside, small bar and some tables around the bar as well as outside. The drinks are expensive - we don't mind that if you are getting some value however they are also poured with precise measurement - to the milliliter. No chance for anything that resembles a stronger drink. I prefer a healthy pour at the bars I patronize. The bartender was perfunctory and not very welcoming. This place is everything I find undesirable in a watering hole. Patronize at your own risk.

After all these years it’s STILL a great place to take your cool friends when they visit (but not your annoying friends)
