The Rec Room

I don't care what anyone says I absolutely love this place. Especially during these rough times and…read moreme being new to Cheyenne from Southern California. Where do I start... the bouncers when you come in care for everyone's safety by checking thoroughly on peoples ids, they're temps, making sure no one is bringing in anything to cause conflict in the establishment. Not only are these security guards always fully staffed they are also probably the best at paying attention to things before they go south (way better than most you see in CAlifornia clubs). If you're honest and have a concern about something they have your back and will look into the situation for you. They always make sure after it's closed they Walk the parking lot to make sure everyone is ok and leaving efficiently and safely. You only get towed if you're in the goodwill parking as they told us they would park our cars for us to their property just so we could call a shuttle home to safely come back to their establishment the next morning to pick up our vehicle. Entertainment wise they know what people like ( I would suggest some nights not to play almost the playlist that's fairly similar from that night the following week but still not as bad as some bars in the IE of SO CAL where they play the same damn playlist song for song every week haha) and even take requests. John, one of the djs) has always made my excursions to the Caddy pleasant from always saying hi to me asking me how I've been and making me feel very welcomed and almost apart of their little world there. For the servers ... there's some shy ones but then you have some REALLY good ones ,like Samarha, who always show up looking very well groomed and looks as if she were out that night herself, never rude but almost as if she is trying to engage with you as a friend than simply as a customer who is trying to make sales, and lastly cares about her customers so much that if she doesn't have what you already needs she will offer to go back to the bar to get particular things you wanted. And lastly the bartenders are very efficient on helping their customers in their sections as quick and pleasant as possible. Jeff is by far one of my favorite bartenders I think I've ever had (which is saying a lot coming from so cal where my cousin and friend were my favorites haha). Jeff makes a very good impression of how a bartender should be. You can even get a little conversation out of him when it slows down considering on how loud it can be in there. He's even went as far as making mixed drinks he's hardly heard of and just would have fun with it. He is probably one of the one reasons I like going the most because the service is what will make you come back which is always incredible with him. As well as the other bartenders that very attentive BUT sometimes you just have your favorite servers you mainly like to go to haha(: And no I have no relation nor friends to this establishment or to the people here I just genuinely like this place and only being here 6 months I met a lot of good people here when this was my only real getaway to my busy/stressful lifestyle out here! Thankyou guys!

If you're looking for a spot to end a night out in Boulder, you've come to the right place. Press…read moreplay is an arcade bar that features house music, pool tables and a dance floor, with old arcade games lining the wall. The bar drinks are what you'd expect, nothing special but no complaints. I couldn't give it five stars because of how many arcade games ate our money. Pac man was the only one that really worked - and we somehow got it to play all night on two quarters! The music was pretty good. Definitely danceable. I appreciated the latin music within the set list. Definitely feels like a last-stop for a college aged crowd.

Absolutely Horrifying Treatment of a Disabled Customer…read more I have never experienced treatment this disturbing from a business. I went to Press Play Bar and after ordering our drinks we were walked up on by one of the bouncers saying they needed to remove the stools because the capacity starts to increase more, I explained that I have a disability that makes it difficult for me to stand for extended periods and that I needed a barstool in order for my safety and that I was only going to stay for the drink I had ordered considering I wouldn't be able to physically continue through the night without being able to sit down. Instead of accommodating my disability or even attempting to understand the situation, the person identifying himself as the "GM" ripped the barstool out from underneath me. What happened next was completely unacceptable. They grabbed my partner out of her seat without allowing us to close our tab (seems to me that they might be doing that to be stealing 20% gratuity) I was shoved by a bouncer and then the GM grabbed me by my hair and forcibly pulled me toward and up the stairs, during which my head was struck against the stairs. This happened after I had explicitly explained that I could not safely stand without the stool because of my disability. What made the situation even more intimidating was that, while I was being removed, I was confronted with gestures that appeared to me to be gang signs. Whether or not that was the intended meaning, I experienced the behavior as threatening and intimidating, especially given that I had already been physically handled and was being forced out of the establishment. I was not asking for special treatment. I was asking for a basic accommodation because I physically could not remain standing safely. To be treated this way after disclosing a disability is absolutely horrifying. Removing a stool from underneath someone who has explicitly explained that they cannot safely stand, followed by physically shoving, grabbing, and forcibly removing that person, is completely unacceptable. I strongly encourage ownership and management to take this incident seriously, preserve and review all available surveillance footage, identify the employees involved, and investigate exactly what happened. I will never return to Press Play Bar, and based on what I experienced, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone--particularly anyone with a disability who expects to be treated with BASIC dignity, safety, and respect.

I am trying to do new things. I am a traditionally horrible dancer, so I did some looking around…read moreand found the Boulder Swing Dance web site. Classes are cheap ($10 for a drop in class or $35 for a 4-part series) and they start frequently (a new session every month) so I took my chance and jumped in on the next beginner-level class that came up. This was Lindy Hop 1, which meets on Monday nights. Tonight was my first lesson, and I cannot wait to go back next week. I have never danced a real dance before in my life, but John and Shana did a great job explaining everything clearly enough that it always felt natural to move on to the next step. The atmosphere was really relaxed and everyone seemed to have a genuinely good time. It is certainly okay to attend these classes on your own. My friend and I went without partners and a couple of guys stuck around from an earlier class to even things out. Not a big deal at all. I was concerned about not having the comfort of a familiar partner, but that soon was relieved as the class is structured so that every follow dances with every lead at least once. And since it's a "rotate clockwise" arrangement, there's no need to worry that nobody will choose you to dance. You just get the next person in the circle, and then the next. This setup not only eases the awkwardness of choosing a partner, it gives you the opportunity to dance with several people, and all of them will have a slightly different style. You don't learn to dance with your date, you learn to dance with anybody. The studio was a bit hot and everyone got really sweaty but, since everybody was sweaty, it was okay. I highly recommend wearing something comfortable that will allow you to breathe. After just the first session in this series, I feel like I progressed from hopeless to kind of okay at this particular dance, which is way more than I had anticipated. Trying new things is awesome!

The month of July has been a special topics month, instead of their typical progressive series, which has been really fun. I've peeked in on the beginner class a couple of times, and everyone always looks like they're having a blast. All of Boulder Swing Dance's instructors are experienced, friendly and 100% in love with swing dancing. They create a supportive, judgement-free, creative space in which to learn swing. Like many swing dance classes, you don't need a partner, because you rotate partners throughout the class. This means you learn how to dance, not how to dance with your partner. They also put on a twice-a-month social dance, every other Saturday night. It's DJ'd, and so far the DJ's have all been excellent. There is a beginner lesson before every social dance.

REC ROOM EMPLOYEES ARE PIGS AND THIEVES They sexually harassed my friend. While she was in line to get in they asked her questions like hey do you want to go on a date with me, hey wanna fuck? And when she brought it up with one of the female bartenders, she said she was banned for life. They double charged the people next to me and refused to give them a refund even though they had a receipt. It asked 3 bartenders for an IPA (which they don't have). The first one looked at me and shook his head and didn't take my order, the second was and asshole too, and the third one, yup also an asshole. The Rec Room Is the worst establishment I've ever been to in my entire life. This place needs to be shit down and the bartenders should have lawsuits against them for theft and sexual harassment. This is without a doubt THE WORST BAR IN FORT COLLINS. Please go anywhere else. These people are pigs and criminals. read more

PLEASE DO NOT GO HERE! Rec Room has a history of discriminatory practices that date back 10 years. My partner and I experienced this first hand with a staff member last night, George, who pushed through our group and began berating and yelling at my boyfriend, the only Black man in our group. He continued to escalate the situation and threatened to kick us out. Out of fear he was going to get violent, we left immediately. He was not only unprofessional but racist, hateful and angry (apparently all qualities that are encouraged if you work at this establishment). This is not a safe place for women, for people of color or LGBTQ folks. DO NOT GO HERE! read more

NEVER and we mean NEVER wear flip-flops or unsecured sandals to this bar. The floor is so sticky that you will likely lose one, if not both, of your shoes. But what could possibly be more dense than the grime that coats the floors? The bouncers. These are a group on menacing hogs that have not gotten laid in centuries and make it their goal to kick out as many people as possible. If you cough incorrectly or take more than 5 minutes in the bathroom they will, with a smile, tell you to leave. If you are over the age of 22 and still enjoy this bar, please see a therapist and try to get your life together. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. This is the NASTIEST place I've ever been to. The employees are plane out disrespectful and grope woman. The bouncers target woman in the bar, instead of asking you to leave politely they will grab you wherever they want and there is nothing you can do about it. The bouncer that works on Thursday nights in the front with the beard is the most DISGUSTING/REPULSIVE man I've ever met, and needs to get punched square in the balls for a month straight. Sexual harassment central. There is a reason it's called The REC room. THIS PLACE IS TRASH just like the bouncers who work there. read more

Usually a great place to go in Fort Collins, but when one of my best friends got turned down for entrance due to his hand tattoo (which is completely decrotive, and not in any way "gang" affiliated). I completely lost all respect for this establishment. Whoever owns this place should seriously consider restructuring their management. No telling how many thousands of dollars are lost weekly due to this ridiculous policy. No one else in town, besides for The Yeti (which is their sister bar) maintains such outlandish stipulations for entrance into their establishments. read more

I want to rate this place 0 stars I have been kicked out multiple times for having "slumped eyes" so if you are the type of person to tend to feel tired more than often you are not allowed to drink basically. Especially if you are a male it doesn't matter if you are trying to enjoy yourself like everyone else it is the worst bar in foco and nobody should go there. all girls will never be kicked out of corse because all bouncers are guys and want to see pretty faces. Please let this place have new ownership so we can have a real bar to go to and have fun at. read more

This place is racist. The bouncers do not allow black folks to enter the establishment. They come up with arbitrary excuses all supposedly having to do with their dress code.
