Friendly, good drink specials

Tables are half decent. The new felt didn't last long. People getting way too hammered and setting beer on the tables just ruining it. But it's a little dive bar, so you can't expect much. Beer is watered down and they like to top it off with so much foam. The cocktails I can't say much about because they don't even have a menu. They say they can make whatever but ask what's in it when you make a cocktail.....

There is a running joke about this place in other local bars "you mean you've been to Palookas and didn't get punched in the face?" When I was new to Thornton I was randomly assaulted and learned the hard way. Amazing this place has not been shut down. Enter at you're own risk, especially by yourself late at night. The pungent aroma of sh#$t from the plumbing is also a nice touch, although the ghetto clientele probably doesn't notice it. In fact, it looks like the most mentioned word in the reviews, according to Google, is "smell". Now that's hilarious.

I would rather give this place 0 stars. I found out my husband was assaulted there by another patron and broke his arm! I'm sure he's a regular and everyone is protecting him!

Taylor is a g I would send Taylor a booty pic any day bc she's just so fire. Taylor should get a Nobel price for her hospitality

Unsafe, arguments are not handled appropriately. Security needs to ensure guests kicked out actually leave the premises. Shooting, 7/15/2023 into smoking section from an individual kicked out but never left the parking lot.

Went on a 2 occasions had a great time both times. 3 pool tables. Busy on a weekends more laid back in the week. Seemed like a pretty happening spot. Will return.

It's a generally younger crowd (my girlfriend and I are mid 50s) but we never felt like we were out of place. People were friendly and engaging and the music was great. We very much enjoyed ourselves.

Why did you buy Chazers and give us Dani?!? Way to ruin the night crowd?

By far the best neighborhood Bar in the North Metro, Thornton area! The owner and all the staff are friendly, awesome, and treat you like family. It's a clean place, that features a state of the art light and sound system complemented with an amazing DJ to keep the night going with hip-hop'n great vibes. Its the perfect spot to meet up with friends for celebrating special occasions, watching "The Big Game!", or shoot a game of pool on its many sweet "Diamond" pool tables. Be sure to bring your bestie's here and create long lasting memories. You'll surely have plenty made here.
