I think this bar would be more suited to someone who loves beer and infused liquors. I came here with the expectation that it would be a craft cocktail bar, but they didn't have a set cocktail menu. However, I really enjoyed their apple pie whiskey and vanilla vodka. I also felt that the local regulars were very friendly and welcoming - as a solo female traveler, I liked the homey feel of the bar. I'd probably come back if I was back in town. read more

Cozy, comfortable. The bar is very small, so it can get cramped, and given that there are at most two bartenders, service can sometimes be slow. The atmosphere, company, and neighborhood more than make up for this, however. I like to take dates here for a casual drink. read more

Great beers on tap. Very fun atmosphere and love to grab a spot at the bar and chat the evening away. Beautiful lighting, intimate space and prices are average. However, bar staff sometimes seems a little on the grumpier side than I typically expect. read more

Wow our female bartender was rude. There were only two bartenders and no barback and the bar was full. The bartenders never greet you. I have been here many times but I never saw this new bartender and it has never been this disappointing. read more

Hands down my favorite bar in Denver. While the tiny space can become claustrophobic, I've always enjoyed it for some reason. I've gone their enough where I know most of the bartenders and they have always been warm and gracious hosts. Yes, it can take a little time to get a drink there but I've never been disappointed with the drinks. I absolutely LOVE their theme parties, I've always had a blast. They play a variety of music and am never really disappointed there! I guess one downside is they only have a single bathroom each for men and women, so sometimes there can be a wait. But nothing beats Thins in the summer day or night relaxing on the front patio with a cold drink in hand. This is a great bar for just connecting with friends and socializing. I hope they never add a TV to this bar, and that they never stop doin' their thing. read more

Great ambiance. Not too big, not too small. Amazing infused vodka. Gorgonzol sandwich was delicious. Staff and other patrons were friendly. Avoid if you hate the color red. read more

The Thin Man appears to try hard, really hard, to be authentic; however, it kind of fell flat for me. I'm convinved even the strange smell that permiates that bar is also engineered, too, but who's to say? Anyway, we had a brief stay during a quiet Monday afternoon. Tyrone was the bartender, and he seems to be a good guy. If he was in charge of the music, he has good taste. It's rare that I go into a bar that has good music playing. We had the $6 sangria, which was pretty average (but strong). They had a pretty good beer selection, which is appreciated, and what appeared to be a large selection of infused spirits. Manufactured hipster nonsense is not my thing, but that's not to say I woudn't go again. Seems to be a pretty decent local bar. read more

Shitty ass service. Especially the black bartender. He is very rude and makes you feel very unwelcomed to the bar. When I asked for the tab he just gave a shitty ass fake smile wanting me to get the hell out. I'll gladly take my money elsewhere. We will never go back again. read more

Definitely one of my fave bars in Denver. I wish it was in my neighborhood--although no doubt if it was it would be bad news for my liver. Every time I visit I fall in love with the place a little more. I don't drink the beers here--I stick to their homemade infused vodka--they are out of this world. Be careful though--they make an amazing orange creamcicle drink with their orange infused vodka. YUM & YUM! On my last visit I also tried their version of an Arnie Palmer with their homemade lemonade and sweet tea infused vodka. Excellent. However, my absolutely fave has to be their Bloody mary--with the pepper & jalepeno infused vodka it has enough spice, kick and flavor to melt my heat every time. Definitely worth a visit--and many more. read more

Drank here a few times now. Always have a good enough time, but the drinks are what keeps me coming back. They take time flavoring their vodkas, which you can tell, and they take a even better time figuring out which ones to put with which drinks. Huge fan of the jalapeno and tomato vodka. Only a few downsides for this place. It is a little small so if you get there later, good luck finding a seat. Also it seems like there is usually only one bartender. And yes she IS great, but when you have trouble even finding a seat, that usually means there's enough people to justify another bartender. Still it is a great place. If your looking for a place for some nice drinks with a special lady or guy friend, you should check this out. read more

Since I moved near here, I have enjoyed the happy hour a few times. I love the Vodka choices, how fun! Like the quiet neighborhood atmosphere. read more

Recommend the espresso martini. Made with there vanilla infused vodka and real coffee beans. Two thumbs up! Small patio but a great spot for drinks and a great atmosphere. Will definitely go back! read more

The Thin Man - ... You walk out seeing red - Bars Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Super quirky decorations, but I was kinda into them! Such a cool idea with the infused vodkas. I tried the lemon basil one with water and it was delicious. Would definitely go back! read more

Loved this dive bar I found on Yelp when a place nearby sucked and was closing down early. The Thin Man has about a dozen infused vodkas and spirits to choose from, some are on rotation and some are permanent. I only had beer, but would want to try those if I returned. Dimly lit, not crowded, great service from the barkeep. My kind of place. Patio out back too. read more

Lately I've been getting tired of the downtown scene and wanted to try some new places. I went to the Thin Man for a drink with two friends and ended up ordering several before going home. The bar is more laid back then the downtown scene but still has a fun upbeat atmosphere. The prices were surprisingly low. I ordered several old fashioned's for around $4 or $5 a piece. they were well made with a generous amount of liquor in each. Each time I went to the bar it was easy to order and service was fast. Will definitely be working it into my regular rotation. read more

Great place for a causal drink with a date or friends. I love their hand crafted flavored vodkas... and the drinks are strong. Try it out for yourself! Enjoy. read more

Overrated bar with flashy tacky decorations and overpriced drinks given the lack of quality. Bar tender to be sexist and argumentative. Recommend gong to Tasty Monk for a much friendlier staff and better choices read more

I've found a new favorite bar. It reminds me of a good, old hippy joint in Philadelphia. Cool string lights, weird bartenders and a small menu where every item is hand made and phenomenal. I highly recommend the salsa and spinach-feta dip. Don't miss out on their pie when you're shmigged. It saves lives. read more

Great bar. Came here for a drink before dinner and it was perfect! Loved the Catholic decor

Cool bar with nice ambience. The decor is eclectic. The crowd never seems to be out of control, but it is often busy. We haven't tried any of the infused vodka drinks because we like beer. The beer selection seems well-curated, but not overwhelming. The food is so-so. read more

Fun spot. Totally out of he ordinary setting. Really artsy in its very own way. Recommend to take friends and creep them out. Music was fun and bartender was great. read more

Worst bartender in Denver. Stocky black gentleman. Very moody. Are we bothering you sir??? All we want is to give your business our money! Is that a bother to you? Hello! You're in the service industry! If you're burnt out, go find your happiness. read more

I used to visit The Thin Man pretty frequently, and I've usually enjoyed it, especially in the summer, when the crowds have room to spill out on the patio. My most recent visit was less pleasant. It's a shame I wasn't looking to fill up a keg with sass, because the bartender definitely had that on tap. I asked if they offered 8oz beer glasses (as some better bars do), and he held up a pint glass and rolled his eyes. Okay, I understand you don't offer the small glass, that's why I asked if you did before just ordering one. No need to treat me like an idiot for a perfectly valid question. Later in the evening when I went back to order more drinks he simply walked away from me while I was speaking. He didn't say, "just a second", or even hold up a finger to pause me, he just walked away. Maybe he was having a rough night (he was getting his ass kicked by a packed bar), but that's no reason to treat customers that rudely. I think if I see that guy working again I might just keep walking to another bar. read more

The lighting in this place may as well serve as drunk goggles, before you're even drunk. Red lights can make anyone more attractive, and hey, I certainly don't mind the complimentary pizazz. I usually plant myself on one of the car seats outback to take advantage of the whole process of ruining my body with cigarettes, but when there is a need for a drink refill or restroom break, I walk in feeling a little glamorous-even though I'm usually dressed like someone that hasn't reached puberty yet. The drinks are just fine and I've never waited long at the bar for a drink, even when the place is stand only-packed. The decor is pleasing, but believe me, you'll be distracted by the nicely lit crowd. read more

Unique bar with fun drink options! Great place to sit with some friends to chat and grab a few drinks! Usually see some locals I know here as it is a very popular spot! read more

Unlike other reviewers, I haven't cared for any of the infused vodkas I've tried -- drinking the cucumber infusion was akin to chewing on a bitter cucumber skin -- but I'm not about to hold it against this place because I like hanging out here too much. The place has such a comfortable, ridiculously cool vibe I can barely take it. The bartenders are absolute masters of their craft - friendly, attentive, and make excellent, stiff drinks. The crowd seems generally quite well-adjusted and friendly. :) The beer-selection is unique and varied. Personally, this is my favorite bar in Denver. read more

Warm is the perfect word for this place. In the winter... they have the fire going, Medeski, Martin & Wood playing & a friendly crowd. Try not to meet some nice people here, including the bartenders. In the summer, sit outside on the patio, pet your neighbor's dog, soak in the 17 and Vine traffic and wait for something funny to happen. It invariably will. read more

Really cool decor and was able to get a table for a couple of drinks. Was perfect for a quick stop before my girlfriend and I's dinner at Mercantile. read more

Oh El Flaco, how I miss you. I've spent many moments in the cities I've called home since trying to find a bar like you. One where a girl can go alone to grade some papers and not feel lonely or harrassed. One where a group of friends can spend every Friday (and Thursday; and sometimes Wednesday) evening, making friends, meeting boys, and befriending the coolest, most low-key bartenders in town. One where sisters tired of their family can escape for a Christmas Eve drink. I don't question your religious decor, I partake in your vodkas, and I've drunkenly left my credit card with you overnight more times than I care to admit. Why won't you move to California? read more

This place is pretty fun but waiting for a bartender is a nightmare. Twice I've left this place because I could not wait anymore and sometimes there's no bartender! read more

I love the Thin Man. Just love it. The incredible collection of Jesus memorabilia is enough to keep me coming-- a top the red warm glow and the flickering lamps on the wall that make me feel as though I am reading by candle-light. I can read here all night and not feel like I'm gonna get annoyed or hit on by gabronies, well, except maybe on the weekends but that's when it's busy/loud enough that it definitely switches from a calm, sophisticated neighborhood watering hole to a cacophonous weekend experience. The drinks are fairly priced. The bartenders are just as nice as they need to be-- not overly friendly but not too surly either. Tyrone is famous for being, well, Tyrone and his particular character just lights up the whole damn neighborhood. As soon as my old home bar shut down, this became a more frequent haunt for me and I feel completely welcome there 100% of the time whether it's reading a book, feeling social or sequestering myself in the corner for some serious self-reflection. This bar has it all! read more

Happy hour is so cheap! The drinks are strong and it has a cool rugged and chill vibe. Highly recommend this place for catching up with friends or to grab a drink on date night. Friendly staff and there are multiple places to sit inside and outside. read more

ahhhhh. i wish i were there right now. there's just something about the thin man/ st. marks vibe that makes me feel smarter, more mature, and incredibly voyeuristic. the people around this block are always super interesting (self-interested?), and worthy of some good staring-at. maybe it's the fancy infused vodkas, beers on the patio while your neighbor reads Proust, the table sitting next to you waxing philosophical about the latest batman movie and the demise of pop sensibilities, or the fact that you can't read more than three sentences of your own semi-pretentious reading material without staring at the hot girl on her macbookPro for like 5 minutes while wondering what you would say to her if she accidentally appeared in one of the seats at your table. maybe it's all of the above. or maybe i'm always just a little buzzed. (i took one star out for not having bar activities. if there's one thing that can break my gaze, it's a game of pool) read more

infused vodka in all flavors for friends to worship and savor with drinks this divine you'd think he made vodka not wine order a local micro brew or better yet, a round for your crew surely it's what a messiah would do. a toast to peter and paul with thy holiness on the wall always a cool crowd even dogs allowed I warm my butt by the fire and with that i retire read more

This place has been here forever, and I really want to like it. Customer service is non-existent and service is just average. It's really loud with terrible acoustics so you have to yell at the person sitting right next to you. Drinks are good. Food is fair. I wish the owners cared more about delivering a great product than just existing, because it really could be an exceptional place instead of "meh." read more

The problem with the Thin Man is that it's always packed. Either you get there at 8:00 to get a seat or a table, in which case, you're the loser who get's to the bar at 8:00, or you show up at 10:00 and there's no room to stand. This is a problem for somebody as large as I am. I guess it's not too bad on weeknights, though. The religious icons and string lights are a nice decorative touch. The great thing is that there are no TV's, but this is offset by the fact that there's no jukebox and you are subject to the musical tastes of the bartenders who control the ipod, which is quite often annoying. read more

Truly awful customer service! I got an eye roll when I asked the bartender for a cloth to wipe a dirty table. Not going back any time soon.

I love this bar! It is one of my favorite neighborhood hangouts. The only reason for the 4 stars is that they continue to employ one of the all time worse bartenders I have ever experienced and everyone I have ever met complains about her. Not only is she mean she literally will make you wait at the bar for 15 minutes while she takes shots with her friends. If you walk in and you see a burnette with tattooed sleeves just turn around and leave. Otherwise you have to go to this bar. The other bartenders are outstanding...fast, friendly and they make excellent drinks! Steffanie and Tyrone are my favorites!! The ambience is wonderful as well. Chill, laid back and tons of interesting art, etc. to look at. I love that there is no television! read more

They had my favorite single malt which was a plus but definitely turned into a huge negative with a snotty, snotty bartender - waited and waited. I was at the end of the bar and he walked to the middle. I mioved a few feet closer to the middle and he walked to the other end of the bar. And he he even served water to tables while I was standing there, mentally tapping me fingers on the counter. Not a first choice for happy hour. read more

Best Bar in Denver. I can be as pretentious as the next white-american-turd, but this place keeps me honest and far away from sober. Please come here and spend your money and try the jalapeño vodka. or beer. or whiskey. whatever. read more
