Bars Without Sports... In Denver

Artsy crowd, great tap beer, and ever-changing flavored vodkas all packed into a bustling, sometimes loud environment. Great little place to enjoy a drink and talk with friends.

Used to be a quiet, chill place, now a good place to hear great music and see some great art. Hipster galore prancing around drinking Pabst and horse feathers.

Very cool all around design of the restaurant. All to make it feel like a fancy version of a 70’s diner – brown-tinted glass, wood paneling /mirrors and extravagant lamps. Great all-around environment with great food to boot!

Tim Burton’s Nightmare Before Christmas minus the 16th Street MallRats = Cool environment to hear good music and drink weird drinks. Two-Fisted Mario’s Pizza is right next door and is offered there, too.

Ahem… For some reason Cruise Room isn’t coming up, but it’s one of those must see attractions in the LoDo Denver area. Built immediately after prohibition was repealed, this bar is an Art Deco relic. Fancy martinis are the specialty, so not a place to binge – sorry college kids.

Technically there is a tv in this place, and technically I shouldn’t be telling you all about my favorite little treasure in Denver. But, Lloyd is gonna be retiring soon, and this place is going to turn into a Chipotle Condo-plex. So, please go see the awesomeness that is Tico’s. The main attraction is Lloyd, who is not only a funny guy, but his personality is in every nook and cranny. Look around; a relief of South America, 50 year old paintings of patrons to the original bar 50 years ago, a monkey in a broncos uniform, a bust of JFK that Lloyd says is Andy Griffith. Need I say more?

Not only are there no TV’s, I’m not sure if there are even any men…..in case anyone is wondering. It’s a girly, delicious champagne bar…..totally worth a trip.
