David C.

Dive Inn is one of many bars on Broadway but it does stick out amongst the many. It definitely is a dive bar but it doesn't feel dirty if that makes sense. It is also nautical themed which is evident with the boat in the bar. Drinks are cheap and well-made. 2 pool tables that are $1 per game. Foosball. Cornhole with a large outdoor area. What's not to like?

Boat reservation

I booked the boat for my friend's 30th birthday. Jason coordinated the reservation, and he was so helpful and on top of it! Dive Inn is a great place for a party with affordable drinks and great outdoor games. Tons of TVs to watch sports, as well. Would definitely recommend!

We were lured inn by a free shot after purchasing a wedding gown across the street. This is so iconic. The boat seating, life vests, and tequila on tap makes this a must see.

This is a Florida themed dive bar in the middle of Denver, Colorado. Who knew this spot existed?! The interior is so kitschy. There's literally a boat inside that you can sit in with friends. The bar looks like it's inside a yacht, and has boat seats. There are life jackets you can put on to pretend that you're really on a boat. There are fake parents on the ceiling, seashells, mermaids, all kinds of tropical decor. The best part about this bar, is that there is a lot to do! There are multiple rooms with cornhole, pool, ping-pong, and foosball. There is indoor and outdoor seating. There is a jukebox and virtual golf too. Drinks are cheap, and there are daily drink specials. I ordered a blueberry Moscow mule, and it was $6.50. This is a great place to come with friends for a casual night. This is also a great place to host a going away party (Bon Voyage!).

It was daytime, therefore quiet, but I still caught the feels of the environment.

I'm the weirdo that actually likes Malort, along with other bitter stuff like amaros and Campari. What grosses me out is sweet stuff, so I'll take all the bitter stuff.

To respect the event I was attending, my objective at Trash Hawk was to obtain a ginger beer to have with my burger. They did not have ginger beer but offered ginger ale. They sat down a drink in my vicinity that had a lime with it and it took a sip, and it turned out to be a margarita that belonged to a nice lady. I was confused why there was a lime. The bartender gave me my ginger ale and made the lady a new margarita. Being a trash panda aficionado, I was delighted with the aesthetics of the place. Someday when I'm not striving for sobriety, I'll be back.

First time back in a while! Don't know why it's taken so long for me to come back but one thing I…read moreremembered was how GOOD the chicken and waffles were. The waffle is made with cheddar and cornbread and the chicken is so well seasoned! A little more batter than I personally like but it's still my go to order when we stop in. The staff is always so nice and hospitable when we come in, making sure to always check on us if we need anything and how our food is. I love the metal atmosphere and the music isn't too loud that you have to shout across the table the perfect volume for background music. If you haven't gone to The Brutal Poodle yet, what are you doing!

We stopped into the Brutal Poodle to grab a drink and maybe dessert. What an experience! First,…read morethey know their cocktails and can make just about anything you can imagine. Staff were great - attentive and friendly. And the metal music - you can't get this vibe anywhere. The music def takes center stage and you'll know immediately if Brutal Poodle is your scene. Either way, I loved finding a dive bar, with amazing food and being spotless. Score. For us, the food had us. We did opt for desserts and WHOA, were they amazing. This was such a surprise and a happy one at that. The gooey goodness of their bread pudding and their crazy take on oreo eggrolls (yes, please!) had both of us immediately planning on our next trip for their main courses. Noted, Brutal Poodle. We see you. We will be back.

I went this time for the burger. I used to go 20 years ago for Golden Tee when in the area, but…read moreapparently they got rid of that machine about 19 years ago. Anyway, the burger. This was my next stop on hitting every burger on Westword's Best Burger List, and I had the deLIGHT of that burger this past weekend. Straightforward, simplistic, and delicious. But, let's take a step back. First of all, the service was PERFECT throughout my visit. Cheryl was my bartender, and gave me efficient, personable, flawless service that elevated my visit. She catered to me, the new customer, and took care of the regulars well, as she obviously knew them all. They had a Voodoo Ranger IPA on tap for me, which made me happy. I was able to get a seat at the bar luckily, and I think you have to be lucky, as the regulars populate them well. Back to the burger. As I said, very simplistic yet tasty. You get chips with it, and a side of onions and pickles. It was worth the trip, and worth being on that list, without a doubt. It is ironic that my darkest lighting in my pics IS the burger-guess I needed a candle lit next to it for a better pic. See what I did there? The bar area is on one side as you come in the door, and the place circles back around to it through the game room. You could technically do bar laps if you wanted to, although that would be a little weird at a dive bar. Pool tables, darts, foosball, and they had some blues rock in the background. Great atmosphere. Don't go looking for white table clothes here. But, if looking for lots of games, a cool dive element, and a surprisingly fantastic burger, this is your place. I highly recommend, and see you there...

God, I love this place…read more It had been a hot minute. I was in the area the other night and already made plans to come here after my work event. Candlelight is one of Denver's best dives and it's not even close. You're greeted by iconic signage, similar to what you see on Colfax. Remember this is Wash Park, so it sticks out more than usual. And I say that as a unwavering compliment. Happy hour deals every day of the week, some of them even lasting through close. Mondays are burger nights and Wednesdays are wing nights. Currently $7 on either of those nights! I haven't had this burger in a long long time. Upon first bite, steaming hot burger juice splattered onto my hand. I still see the burn nearly two days later. Was it worth it? Of course it was. Fluffy bun, melty cheese, and meaty burgerness. A little overcooked for my liking, but you're not making a fuss at a place like this. Prices are shockingly good. Inflation proof! Pool, darts, tv's, all the dive bar staples are here. A $20 bill goes a long way here. Food runs until 11:30pm every night!

I went to Denver for a girls' getaway with one of my besties and she knows that I love to dance and…read moreabsolutely love 80's music, so she found The Delorean for us. I looked online and found that they were hosting an all Vinyl 80's dance party with no cover charge on Saturday night... how cool is that!! So, we took a rideshare from Downtown to The Delorean. I am not familiar with that area of town, but there looked to be several bars and restaurants nearby. Anyway, upon entering, we were immediately greeted with a library of cassette tapes. Then, we wandered further to see lots of neon lights and neon carpeting, cases of nostalgia featuring various toys and games from the 80's, as well as lot's of music posters. The cocktail menu was super cool, with drinks named after 80's songs and movies. There was a fun little photo booth in back. I ordered a Pretty in Pink cocktail, which featured jasmine and rose gin with champagne and elderflower liquor with a huge champagne bubble. My friend ordered the She-Ra Colada because it came it a really cute Tiki cup. I think she enjoyed it because she ordered a second. That night, there was an Ape (yes a man in an ape suit) playing 80's vinyl all night. Also, he was giving away records. If you enjoyed a song, you could ask and he would give you the record after it finished playing. I brought home a single by the Klymaxx (Meeting in the Ladies' Room). My friend and I had an absolute blast. We danced the night away and made 80's music-loving friends who we shared stories with about various 80's bands. A server wearing Strawberry Shortcake served us drinks at our table all night. The only bummer is that the dance night went from 9- midnight. After the Ape DJ left, the music was a bit on the quiet side, so we left rather than staying to dance, as the dance party had ended and it was still early. All in all, though I was disappointed, as I wanted to dance until 2AM, The Delorean was still one of my absolute favorite experiences during my Denver weekend stay.

Definitely make them if you are brining a large crowd as this place is small.
