Downtown Loveland can be described with one word: SCIZOPHRENIC. I am 100% serious…read more Example: I walked downtown for dinner and drinks one evening out of my poorly lit neighborhood over the train tracks and stopped to take a peak down 4th St and what do I see; not much. The Aims college building's awning is lit up but empty, the Sports Station's parking lot is full but it sounds quiet since it's too cool to eat outside and some of the buildings seem just sad. Wait, did a tumble weed just blow by and I swear I just heard a wolf howl! It's quiet, cool and nearly no one is on the street or side walks and it's a FRIDAY NIGHT! What's going on? Did I not get the evacuation notice because I was drinking beer in the tub in the basement before I left? I continued on to see what I could find. After doing a full patrol of downtown I ended up almost back where I started when I discovered a new bar: Burke's Tavern. Every place down town was empty this night including this place except for the bartender and his two friends sitting at the bar. This place is small and actually used to be a place called Jazz Alley. I ordered a beer and after making some friendly small talk I sat down near the door and zoned out on a tv near by while the juke box played random selections. A few people floated in and I downed a few more beers then decide to play DJ on the Juke. Behold the greatest Juke box on the planet! This thing is hooked up to the internet and can down load any slice of music you can think of! After feeding it bills and then sliding my credit card I had selected my favorite play list. Also, if you are too impatient you can pay a little more cash to jump a head with your selection! When I was done I turned around to my beer to see that the place had started filling up. I looked at my watch to see that it was getting late and I was kind of surprised. Loveland doesn't have too much going on at night. After having a few more beers and socializing with a few people I got the message quick. This place is a slow starter and the bulk of its customers are late night shift workers and bartenders themselves from the downtown bars that close early. This bar stays open later than all the others and everyone who wants to blow of there steam from everyone blowing there steam off on them come here. Most of the people were wait staff and some of the others were night shift workers from IBM an a few other random places. So, if its last call and everything is shutting down head to Burke's because that is where everyone will be in an hour after counting the till, mopping the floor and locking the door and if you beat them you can DJ for the whole place until close.

Solid dive bar with quality pours. Lexy treated our group like family and made sure our drinks…read morewere never empty. Great happy hour prices, make sure to try their Apple Pie Shot! Do it!!!
