    Neighborhood dive bar does not disappoint
    Maggie P.

    Stopped in for a drink because of the outdoor Christmas lights and wanted to see what it was all about. Honestly it was a very welcoming surprise. Drinks were cheap and strong. They offered free jello shots, which we did not refuse. It's a great bar with an intimate setting. We'll be back :)

    I like Nob Hill, but only for certain times. It is a DIVE bar, and if that is what you are going for, it is great. Depending on who is running the juke box, it can have some great throw-back music and usually has an all around good vibe. The new automated darts board is pretty fun... I enjoyed the fact that even though my dart bounced off, it counted! (I guess if you are an experienced and serious darts player though, this might not be a good thing...) Friendly bartenders, cheap drinks, fun dive vibe. Great spot... if you are there with a smaller group. I hate going there with a big group because the physical layout of the space is hard to chat with a bunch of people at once and you inevitably end up getting split among the room and in different booths. Still fun, just something to consider!

    We met Harry, obviously a regular!

    Upon visiting a town I've never been to before, I have a habit of going to the diviest bar in the city on the first night. Denver was no exception. My friend and I stood in front of the bar for a few minutes, debating on whether we should go in or not. Some patrons inside the bar saw us and said "Come on in!" That made us nervous, but there were some really shady charcters milling around on the street who tended to walk a little too close to us, so we decided that inside the bar was safer than outside of the bar. Not sure if we made the best call. Most people in the bar were men who looked like they haven't had the easiest lives. We decided to stay for one drink due to concerns about safety (or lack thereof). This old guy (who we later found out is named "Harry") sauntered in about 30 seconds after we did, and started talking to one of the employees. They were speaking to each other quietly for a minute or two when we heard the employee say "Harry, I told you not to look at them directly, look at them in the mirrors!" (on the wall). I knew we were in for a treat at that point. Harry (who kept winking at us and doing a lot of lip-licking) sat next to us and bought us drinks, and the bartender (who was nice) gave us some shots. When we left, the bartender gave me a $2 bill with "Nob Hill Denver" scribbled across it. Said it was a "tradition". Another employee said that we should come by at last call and they would "hook us up". Between the $2 bill and the drinks bought for us, we pretty much got paid to drink there. Everyone was actually really friendly and respectful, but I'll admit that my friend and I were a little on edge the whole time, but I think the threat of danger added to the fun! So wrong, it's right! :)

    Great dive bar. No frills, nothing fancy just booze and beer. Prompt service and appropriate prices. Chill crowd. Would return!

    I dared not bring up anything along the lines of animal cruelty because I'm sure I too would have been thrown out and then had my ass kicked.

    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.

I grew up in this neighborhood and Christian took the reigns and turned it into a place that you can call "my bar." This is what happens when a dive bar hooks up with a neighborhood bar and has a kid that makes it a habit of being insolent. Bonus - it's a Philly Bar. Another bonus - the merch is HILARIOUS. Third bonus - there's a neon sign telling you to not do coke in the bathroom. Fourth bonus - Karaoke Fridays. Fifth bonus: Live and loud music on the patio when the weather is nice. Seriously, I'd rather spend time in this bar than some vapid, IG worthy, over priced, douche canoe hangout in RINO with equally vapid and fake clientele. Don't come here if you want a bougey, curated experience. Come here because you want original, no frills, no holds barred fun. Yes, it's on East Colfax. Yes, it's in a neighborhood most of you are afraid to go. Yes, you'll be glad you sacked up and stepped outside your comfort zone and patronized a place I'm proud to call "my bar."

Every Sunday they host a comedy show, and honestly, it's way better than you'd expect from a dive bar setup. The comedians are hilarious -- a mix of local talent and surprise drop-ins. Perfect way to end the weekend. The staff is super friendly, the drinks are cheap (plus Sunday drink specials, and I think they run deals most days), and the whole vibe is just easygoing and fun. They also have a big back patio that's awesome in warm weather -- I've seen BBQs, live music, food trucks, and even stand-up out there. It's one of those places where something cool is always happening. If you're looking for a laid-back Denver bar with personality -- and free comedy on Sundays -- this is it.
