Wow! What a great night. This bar came highly recommended by a friend, and it did not disappoint! The bartender made me one of the best margaritas I have ever had, and the dj booth was on point. You can hang outside on the back patio- play pool and arcade games or just chill in the lounge area. Great vibes and fun people. We will definitely be back!! I guess on Wednesdays there is a cool food truck in the backyard and Friday is the sexy smoke lady- forget her name… Great night in Denver- Thank you Heartbreak Kid. ♥️

**Heartbreak Kid Bar - Denver's Hidden Gem**
In the bustling landscape of Denver's nightlife, Heartbreak Kid Bar shines as a hidden gem, embodying the true essence of a local dive bar. This unassuming yet charming spot is the epitome of what makes dive bars so beloved – authentic, welcoming, and full of character.
From the moment you walk through the door, you're greeted by an ambiance that feels like home. The decor is a nostalgic nod to classic dive bars, with eclectic memorabilia, cozy dim lighting, and a well-worn bar that tells tales of countless good times. It's a place where everyone feels like a regular, even on their first visit.
The drink offerings at Heartbreak Kid Bar are both impressive and affordable. The bartenders mix up strong, straightforward drinks that hit the spot every time. Their selection of local craft beers on tap and a surprisingly diverse array of spirits ensure there's something for every palate. The no-nonsense approach to the drink menu is refreshingly straightforward, making it easy to find your favorite go-to drink or discover a new one.
What truly sets Heartbreak Kid Bar apart is its sense of community. The staff is not just friendly but genuinely invested in creating a welcoming atmosphere. They're quick with a smile, always ready to chat, and make sure your glass is never empty. It's the kind of place where strangers become friends over shared stories and laughter.
The bar's events and themed nights add an extra layer of fun. From trivia nights to live music, there's always something happening that brings people together and keeps the energy lively and engaging. Yet, even on a quiet night, the bar exudes a warm, inviting vibe that's perfect for unwinding.
In summary, Heartbreak Kid Bar is everything a local dive bar should be – and more. Its combination of a laid-back, nostalgic atmosphere, excellent drinks, and a strong sense of community make it a standout spot in Denver. Whether you're a longtime local or just in town for the weekend, Heartbreak Kid Bar is a must-visit destination for a genuinely memorable night out.

This happened while it was still called Slashers. Not sure if they got new management or something with the name change but wanted to express this anyway.Owner/manager would rather sit on the couch on the other side of the bar and hit on any woman that walks in than do anything short of work. Tried to hit on my girlfriend and when I called him out he kicked me out and banned me from the bar. Don’t go here.

This heartbreak after losing what made Slashers great is the only honest thing left about whatever Heartbreak Kid is. Trash bar.

While this isn't the horror themed bar we were expecting, it's amazing nonetheless.The vibe is more older emo/millenial. The place is dark with curtains, bottles, skulls, and other assorted knick knacks illuminated by candles. I loved how all the TV's are playing everyone's favorite movies from the 80s and 90s. There's also a hidden arcade in the back with some great posters and a white claw machine.The staff is very kind and make some fantastic drinks. We got the unicorn magic fizz, and I'm still thinking about how cute it was. Can't wait to come here again!

Came here from out of town and had the best time. Music was great and the bartenders put on Heavy Metal. I think the locals a little salty
January 2023 this bar was rad. Went at the end of August 2023 and it had significantly declined. The drink menu was tiny and not good at all. The only good drink was the bees knees. Gin based with a strawberry puree. Went back tonight (new years day 2024) at closer to 5:30 pm and they were closed. No sign saying they opened later. No Instagram or Facebook post saying they opened later. Just 3 people inside motioning that they were closed. Slashers is not worth going to at this point. The movies and atmosphere are cool but the lack luster menu isn't worth the price. Hard pass.

This is no longer the Slashers bar I fell in love with. It's completely different so much so that they should consider changing their name. The vibe was completely different and totally sucked. The bartenders were whatever and not friendly like the old crew. All the cool spooky horror decor was gone and replaced with silly boudoir items and lights and curtains. Everthing was super spaced out and just plain weird. The music was awful. I'm not coming to a so-called horror bar to listen to gangster rap. Only 1 tv was playing a horror movie.. Everything about this remodel sucked. I used to be a regular here and loved how different this place was compared to other bars, but I'm sorry to say I'm done with this place. Never coming back and neither is my regular crew. RIP Slashers. :(
