Just your every day, local, very chill bar that pours strong drinks and has a very nice bartender. Grabbed a quick drink here with a friend before another event in the area. Lots to look at on the walls here as there is a variety of items that are simply bizarre making one wonder what the history of the item is. Cheap drinks and people watching is always on the menu here at Casual Lounge. read more

Casual Lounge - Vodka soda- with bendy straw!! - Dive Bars Near Me - Englewood, Colorado

See all

Stopped in for a few drinks since we were in the neighborhood for an event. Casual Lounge is a casual neighborhood bar where regulars hang out. The bartender/owner was very welcoming. Most customers were seated at the u-shaped bar deep in conversation with their friends. Love that the cheap but strong drinks come with colorful bendy straw. Plenty of fun signs and decor adorn the walls, including an old private parking sign, street signs, bar mirrors, and steer horns. read more

Just discovered this gem last night and will definitely return! Diana and Suzanne are two of the most caring, down-to-earth, and authentic bartenders you'll ever meet. They crafted some wickedly awesome cocktails/shots and treated every single person like family. It's a wide demographic of clientele amongst an eclectic ambiance. Amy, the owner, has a festive Christmas tree up year-round, music from the Juke box is typically playing, and pool tables are popular and accessible. In my opinion, these are the qualities of a top-notch dive. Huge S/O to Diana and Suzanne for taking care of everyone, and being so vulnerable and nonjudgmental about life. read more

I've been to The Casual only a couple of times in the past, but felt spontaneous and decided to try it after visiting our regular bar up the street. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The regulars and bartenders are super welcoming. Their specials also cannot be beat. For happy hour, $1 off call and well is a great deal. They also have a juke box and small arcade which is a fun find. Check out this local hub if you're in the neighborhood! read more

Bad taste in my mouth now. I'm 71, gray hair, on a cane. I've been to the Casual many times. I was just refused service until I hobbled back to my truck to get my ID! Are you f***ing kidding me? read more

This spot takes dive bar to a new level. Pretty weird but you know what? I rock with that.

Very cool leadership, I was surprisingly impressed by the friendly bartender ensuring you are comfortable, more so than any of the big box bars. I went back in a week or so later to have some food and I'll have to say the Cheese Burger was very well done and hit the spot after a little day at work. I enjoyed playing pool and have a couple random conversations with locals. Overall, I look forward to returning. read more

Liked the place a first but after going in a couple of times and experiencing the crowd and the atmosphere will definitely be going back to my old bars. The prices have gone up ridiculously, the bartenders are snotty and take forever to get your drinks especially the lady with fake long braids she's always too busy talking and running to the back room or outside to smoke. Last but not least can tell there is some other services going on while bartenders are working and while they serve especially when most people in that bar come out the bathroom, backroom, or cooler eyes wide open with white rings around their nose or black circles under their eyes moving 1000 miles an hour. Not a chill place to hang or would want anyone to experience! read more

I almost don't want to rate The Casual cuz I want this place to remain a secret. Mostly hidden, with street only parking but it's a fun, dive bar that we have come to a few times now. JoJo is a bartender who is super sweet and takes care of her guests. Lots of locals are here daily, and every time we have gone to this bar we are welcomed read more

I give a zero for this one the only thing that this place is good at is running off people who don't fit into there stoner drinking habits.I was there getting ready to buy a drink when I was ran off because of me being homeless and wanting all my things together so it's easier for me to keep track of everything.so if you're anything but a lazy stoner who likes to drinks stay away from this place they're not scared of running off potential customers read more

This place is the definition of a dive bar! There is always a cast of characters hanging around the Casual Lounge, be it 6am or 6pm. There's that guy who has been coming here for the past couple decades and met his two ex-wives here. There's that lady that wants you to guess her age, cuz your never gonna guess it raighht. There are those boys who come in and put 4 hours of TuPac on the Jukebox and leave after 30min of playing pool. The bartenders are hilarious and put up with quite a bit of crap from the clientelle. And, I'm certain that this place is a riot just before a show at the Gothic (around the corner). They have two happy hours, one that is something like 6am-1pm and another in the evening. This is a great place to grab a brew after a hangover breakfast at Breakfast on Broadways. During happy hour the beverages are 2-for-1. You get a dixie cup with your first drink to turn in for your second after you've finished. There are a couple of pool tables and some video games. The seating in the pool room looks like it came from that old bowling alley around the corner. There's no parking lot, but there is plenty of street parking and King Sooper's is across the street. This is definitely a spot you should check out if you are in the area. It's extremely amusing, and you'll find yourself spending many more hours there than you intended. read more

A classic dive bar... Pretty strong drinks... Pool tables... Bar games... and a troft with ice in the men's room. They have a nice long bar with tons of nick nacks behind it. The place is a good size with lots of space. It's a cool place to chill with locals and blue collar types. Check out the wall of photo's with all the regulars from over the years named "Casual Casualties"... This kinda shit cracks me up. My only complaint about this dive is the parking situation or lack there of. Don't even think of parking in the King Soopers lot across the street. You will be towed faster than it takes the bartender to make a pitcher of bloody beers. Other than that not a bad little place to checkout from time to time. read more

Total dive. And that's why I loved it! Bartender gal was a gem, super nice even though we were the youngest patrons there. We had an hour to kill before a concert at the gothic theatre. Happy hour rocks, your second drink is free! The bartender even let us play mutemath for free on the jukebox! (the show we were waiting for.) Thank you! read more

Amy is the greatest bartender ever!!! I love to come here and there is no other dive bar in Englewood that vibes like this place does, definitely check it out! read more

This place seemed ok for a dirty dive bar. My boyfriend and I stopped in for the first time ever on 10/27/2018. It was the Saturday night before Halloween, and we both had costumes on. We played shuffle board and had a decent time until around 10:30 that evening when the bar had emptied of all patrons except for us, and the lazy, old hippie with a balding white head of hair pulled back into a crappy unwashed ponytail. Steve was the bartenders name. He was there he said, because the owner was on vacation in Mexico. So I guess he didn't care when a miniature looking version, ever so slightly younger of himself, only with bad breath and a worse attitude, came in. Seriously, this guy looked like he was related to him or was even Steve's very own son. Now it is only the two of us (boyfriend and I), the grumpy hippie bartender and his look alike, we will call Steve's son. Well Steve's son (as we now call the washed up 50 something old dude) took it upon himself to interject himself into our private conversation, while sitting at the far end of the bar. Steve's son berated and belittled me without provocation, while the lazy, good for nothing bartender, sitting on a bar stool out in front of the bar, just watched. AND. DID. NOTHING. We (mostly me) had had enough, and WE WANTED TO PAY AND LEAVE. In fact I was in the process of signing the bar tab when Steve's son advanced on me with clenched fists, spittle flying out of his mouth as he called me a "socialist Trump hater" , as he cussed and swore at me to tell me how it was all my fault personally, and the fault of "your kind" in general, that this country is going to hell. Steve. DID. NOTHING. Yeah, my boyfriend got in between us to defend me since Steve was apparently eating his popcorn and enjoying "the show". What a piece of work; shouldn't the bartender be the one voice of reason in this situation? Well Steve's son proceeded to beat the crap out of my boyfriend, knocking him unconscious, and then kept beating on him while he was out. I got up to stop Steve's son, and finally lazy hippie bartender Steve, got up and told Steve jr to stop. Steve was "so kind" to wipe the blood off the floor, and not my boyfriend, and then comment "should have let him kill you" when my boyfriend regained consciousness. What a schmuck... Police were called, Steve's son split out the back door, Steve lied and said my boyfriend started throwing punches for no reason. No charges filed. Boyfriend-broken nose, cracked ribs, and a concussion. Steve's son-free to come back whenever. Steve-still a lazy old smelly hippie with a bad pony tail and a crappy bartender to boot. Me-going to every city council meeting and complaining about this irredeemable dirty dive bar and asking for it to lose its' liquor license and be shut down. Every single meeting. So... Yeah don't go if the owner is out of town. Or ever, unless you want to get your ass kicked by the hippie bartender and his good ole' buddies. read more

I Love this place Amy the owner so cool make u feel like family in there no rowdy crowd the gothic crew come after the show and it's a blast good vibes love this place and the band that plays every week and the prices are A1 best in town can't beat it!!!!!!!! read more

Love this spot. Perfect for beers before the Gothic show. Updated inside, great local vibe! read more

If you're interested in a great local gay dive bar, go to the Casual Lounge! The bartender took a little bit of work to crack, but he's a great time and all in! Have an excellent loose Quarter Skilldozer that pays to be played all night long and the drinks are strong! Pool table, TV's, a musty smell that will remind you of granny's house, and a creepy doll on the quarter machine - what more could you ask for?! read more

IF I COULD GIVE -0 I WOULD. There is so many local bars within 3 minute walking distance to this bar that are local and drama free. Give your money to them. This bar is ridiculous. Unless you are in their close circle forget it. We went there about 2Xs a week to play ping pong & pool and support our local bar because we LOVE to support local businesses. We walked over, had 3 beers, and Me and my boyfriend were having a conversation and another woman at the bar decided the conversation we were having wasn't appropriate and had the bar tender kick us out. The bar used to be owned by the ~current~ owners family. The old owners used to have 0 issues with us hanging out there. And then tonight all hell broke loose over a complete misunderstanding and the bar tender would absolutely NOT let us explain. I'm a grown woman and if I had issues with the way someone was talking to me I would 100% tell the bar tender. We had to get the police involved and everything. If you want to support someone local support the TAVLE TOP TAP room located right down the street. They have amazing beers and zero drama. We used to go to the casual to get cheap beers and cheap drinks but it is completely clear that they only care about serving the people close to their circle (which we used to be, seen the brother bartender allow CUSTOMERS behind the bar to serve themselves whatever drinks they want with zero license and a witness) as much as we love to spend our hard earned money at local bars we would absolutely will never step foot in this vicinity again. Completely 10000% disgusted with the way the bartender reacted to the whole situation. Grateful for the Englewood police and how they handled the situation with ease and grace. read more

I love Casual Lounge! It is one of my go-to dive bars in the area. We are definitely regulars of this place and I really enjoy coming here. We were looking to grab a drink after having dinner at Spicy Basil next door, so we headed over to Casual Lounge for a beer or two. Apparently, this bar used to be a bank back in the day. The interior of Casual Lounge is to be expected. Because, duh, its a dive bar. The bartender Patrick is so friendly! We always like to chat with him. Casual Lounge has three pool tables, ping pong, darts and several arcade games. They also have back patio for smoking. I highly recommend Casual Lounge if you are looking for a cheap drink and a game of pool! read more

I love me a good dive bar. Especially when it's so much fun that I go back TWICE in one night! This is the perfect spot to grab some cheap drinks before a show at The Gothic Theater. It's laid back, unassuming, inexpensive, friendly, charming, dark, entertaining and, gosh darn it, people like me love it! First off, the décor is so dive party kitsch it's not even funny. They have toys for the kids (both young and old), cheesy stuff on the walls, a collection of crappy books that I'm sure no one will ever read, billiards, ping pong, a juke box...need I go on? If you don't scare easily then this is the place for you! The bartendress was awesome sauce and so much fun. If I could remember her name I'd tell you but we had so much fun the night became somewhat blurry. I can only assume that most, if not all, employees are just as cool. You get real people at this joint which is what I like about it. Who would've thunk it? It can be a bit difficult to find if you don't know what you're looking for. The outside reminds me of a rundown motel. There's a small flight of stairs that you go up in order to enter but if you just look for the bright neon lights that haven't changed since 1972 you'll be good to go! I'm for sure a huge fan of this place and will be back the next time my world takes me to The Gothic. Woot woot! I'm casual. read more

Complete and total dive bar. A shady assortment of patrons. Won't even accept credit cards. I love it. read more

Dive Bar with good prices and selections. This is definitely a neighborhood bar. Owners are great people!

I used to have a friend that worked there (Cat) and used to stop by there every so often. It just seems like the place had so much...potential. So close to the Gothic, pretty big and fairly cheap drinks. However, they never worked (seriously at least) on getting the Gothic goers in the bar. If I remember correctly, they didn't take credit cards either. I hate that... BUT, I always did have fun when I went in there and the crowd was entertaining to say the least. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and check it out... read more

This is an excellent dive bar. 6 of us strolled in after a concert at the Gothic theatre and it was completely dead. We made it our own as we picked from new, current songs on the jukebox. There were 2 pool tables, ping pong and quite a few selections of beer and spirits. The bartendar (I believe his name is Patrick) was awesome, he was really kind and personable. I def. Recommend coming here after the Gothic or some random fun! read more

This is a great little dive bar near the Gothic Theater in Englewood. We went for a few pre game drinks before a show. The service was great! The guy behind the bar was super friendly and the drink prices were too. They have pool tables, a jukebox, foosball, ping pong, and even some arcade games. They had some tvs for sports too! If we are back in the neighborhood we will visit Casual Lounge again. read more

The casual has always been one of my favorite places. It's not as dark as it used to be in there but change is inevitable. This is a must stop on your bar campaign in the very least. Prefer to spend some quality time here. read more

Nice lil dive bar tucked away just off Broadway. Pool, decent drinks, friendly service, pinball, foosball, Jukebox. Good place to go when you're waiting for a lane at Moe's read more

The Casual reminds me of my home town bars in Western New York! I walked in recently and see they are making a number of awesome updates, while keeping the dive bar vibe. Also SO close to The Gothic, this would be the perfect spot before or after a show...GREAT drink prices, pool and ping pong...what more could you want? This is definetly my new dive bar in Englewood! read more

What a friggin nightmare. The bartender gave bad cranberry juice and was sick all night. On top of that the bartender was rude. If u want good bartenders go to Zoes! read more

Great dive bar!!! My wife and I got to a show early nearby and decided to hang out here, I really miss places like this with a couple of pool tables, a juke box and a real laid back clientele, no dress code, no cover charge and interesting people to talk to. If you are looking for a cool bartender, cheap drinks and a place to hang out that is not an overpriced meat market then go hang out at the Casual Lounge around the corner from the Gothic!! read more

A dive bar with clean, refurbished bathrooms. What more could you want. Friendly staff, cheap drinks, clean with character. Perfect for pre concert drinks or anytime vibes read more

Its a dump! With a questionable clientele.They have ping pong and pool..Ping pong is rare in a bar.And I love the game,but don't even know if id go back! read more

Awesome spot hidden away good service and awesome crowd thank you Dnise for being awesome

Great Dive bar, Great owner! Ping pong table.... what else can I say!?!? It's perfect.

Casual Lounge is a legit dive and a great spot. We always stop in for beers before or after Gothic shows. Solid juke box and the bartenders are cool. Further, it's refreshing to hit bars where the bartenders are not sporting mustaches, vests, bad tattoos and pushing over-priced cocktails with "artisan" ice. read more

A Dive's Dive bar. They just recently replaced kitchen fixtures dating back to the 60's or 70's.
