Hadn't been to Herb's since 2006. It was fun to go back. Great dive bar vibes. Drinks are…read morereasonably priced, and though I only had water, I heard they make a mean martini. Lots of fun going on - great music, trivia, and of course great people watching. The two bartenders working seemed like fun dudes who were accustomed to the regulars as well as the "irregulars" such as myself. Great place. Give it a shot.

I love dive bars but I don't like this place. Pretty sure I…read moregot charged for a drink with zero alcohol in it. People are off putting. It's strange to be shunned as a nonregular by a bunch of people who probably get shunned in their lives. Nothing like becoming the thing you hate!

Been meaning to check out Dirty Duck since moving pretty close to it. We decided to stop by on…read moreHalloween and there was a small line outside. It went by quickly. That was expected because of the holiday. Another line for drinks inside, but also went by quickly. We snagged a booth and stayed a while. We had a decent time and I'm glad we made the stop. Would visit again, but not needing to. Would love yo see the vibe on a non-Holiday night. Very divey but also spacious. There's also a small smoking area/patio.

Cool bar. Great space in the side for live events. The people were nice, and drinks reasonable…read more I loved the men's room. Just what you'd expect in a perfect little grimy dive bar.

This is a funky little dive bar on South Broadway that hosts local and traveling bands. We saw…read moreSummer Dean here recently and bought tickets ahead of time online. It's mostly standing room for shows, save for one or two small high top tables near the bar. Drinks are good and they have a decent cocktail list. I ordered a drink that had Jones Family gin. We came on a cold night, and it was chilly inside, so I'd suggest to dress warmly in the winter. Cash and card are accepted at the bar, and there is an ATM machine if needed. The restrooms are what you'd expect for a dive bar, so keep that in mind! Overall a cool place to see local shows and smaller travel acts.

I really enjoy the Thin Man! Both as a bar and as a performance space…read more I first came to the Thin Man to watch a comedy show with my friend. It was such a fun experience and the comedians were hilarious! (Side note: downstairs doesn't have a bar so before you grab a seat, get a drink from the bartender to bring down) The interior design is nice and the bartenders are cool. Drinks aren't too expensive and there's even a patio for outdoor seating during warmer weather. Keep an eye on their instagram for upcoming shows and ticket-purchasing directions. Definitely looking forward to coming back for another show!

In love with the lights. The ambience inside and on their patio is great. Cool decorations and…read morevibes.

Came here on a whim and can't believe I was missing out on just a classic dive bar! We sat at the…read morebar and noticed every woman who orders a drink gets a rose and the place is like stepping back in time. Everything is well maintained, the staff is very friendly and the owner, an older gentleman was even there. Go check out this classic dive bar on Colfax.

Oh my gosh, how have I not reviewed this spot yet? It is my #1 recommended spot whenever people…read morewant a spot to hang out before or after the zoo, jazz in the park, museum of nature & science. As many have noted, this is just a classic dive bar. Cash only. Short list of beers. Strong drinks. Bartenders with the perfect amount of chatter. And it's made classy by the tang shot they give everyone and the flower they give every lady.

The goat decor throughout the place is hilarious. The Scapegoat is a pretty expansive place with…read morevery comfortable bar stool seating and comfy, leather booths. The Scapegoat has some festive holiday cocktails as well any usual bar drink one orders. The Scapegoat has a photobooth that is also a very entertaining.

I checked this spot out over the weekend and it was mostly empty, so there was no struggle finding…read morea table. They had a good drink menu, but the vibes just felt a little off with it not being very busy and the ambiance wasn't enough to make up for that. I'm not sure if I went on an off day or if it's always like this. The real nail in the coffin for me was the music they were playing. They have a jukebox system so that bar goers could select songs to play. It was one awful song playing after another, which further brought down the vibe of the place. I'm not in any rush to return.

PIÑA PICANTE (TEQUILA, COCONUT CREAM, PINEAPPLE, LIME, SUGAR, CRÈME DE CACAO, TAJÍN) I recommend coming early or end of night to find a spot to sit at the bar or a table as it's popular!

The staff and bartenders are extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

We ordered beer, cider, and tequila, and everyone in my group enjoyed their drinks. We wanted a snack, so we got the cheese curds and fried pickles. They were both piping hot when they arrived to our table and fried to perfection! Having moved from the Midwest to Colorado, I am always delighted when I find a restaurant with perfectly made cheese curds! Also, their fried pickles are chips not spears (the proper way to make fried pickles) that also delighted me. They have a wall of TVs above the bar. So, we will be back for sporting events.

It's a dive bar. It's a comedy stage. It's a music powerhouse. What is Lion's Lair, if not iconic?!…read more If you're looking for a place that's all heart, loud and proud, it is HERE. Anybody who's come out of Colorado to become a big name has gone through those doors to play on the little stage. From local to traveling acts, from punk bands and karaoke talent to gritty stand-up and flirty burlesque, this place has it. If you're up for a night that doesn't stink of ordinary, swing through that creaky door and take in a most memorable evening. If there is a cover, it's usually nominal. Drinks are cheap, served by a great crew that's always up for a laugh and cheers. Sometimes hitting the town isn't about getting fancy but just kicking back, and this is a great place to do just that off the mainstream treads.

Great little dive bar on Colfax! Came here for the first time last night to see a DJ (or set of DJs…read moreI guess) that we like. The interior is small but I like how the bar is set up kind of in a rectangle so you're actually facing some other people (maybe awkward, but feels more communal?) They had an inexpensive menu of basic beers. They were out of the drink I wanted so the bartender made me a creation that I guess is something the doorman likes - not bad, and I think it was about $10 which is pretty decent for a mixed drink. I noticed a big red counter/clock on the wall across from us and after a few seconds we deduced it was a decibel meter. I'm curious if they have restrictions here for noise - AOK by me. The volume was generally alright (a little loud but what isn't?) and they actually had a sound guy in the corner making sure the volume and quality sounded good. Overall had a very decent Saturday night here.
