A Colfax Crawl? A walking tour of Colfax Pubs

By jjcolorado | updated 26 days ago

Colorado's greatest and most famous avenue, the longest commercial street in the U.S.A.! Shop, eat, be entertained and revel in the color and majesty of Colfax Avenue. A history of Colfax: http://www.colfaxavenue.com/history.php

This guide focuses on the stretch between Monaco and Broadway. Try one to n stops along the way.

I will try to add some color commentary as I lived just south of Colfax in Congress Park for 12 years (when I wore a younger man’s clothes!)

Elm

Denver, CO 80220

Farthest east on the crawl, it has a patio on the side and usually has sports on.

Bastien's

3501 E. Colfax Ave., Denver, CO 80206

ok, technically a steak house. Stop by the bar and load up on a great steak for a reasonable price. A Denver classic, another decor that hasn’t changes since the 50’s.

P S Lounge

Denver, CO 80206

The clock in this place stopped in 1965. The decor, juke box and velvet elvis all reflect the period. Cheap drinks and good pizza next door at Enzo’s. A personal fave.

Goosetown Tavern

Denver, CO 80206

One of mayor hickenlooper’s bars, always pretty crowded. Right across from the bluebird theatre, has a lively scene.

The Bank Bar and Grill

2239 E Colfax Ave , Denver, CO 80206

The Bank is a huge early to mid 20 somethings hang. There are a couple of pool tables and happy hours with 2 for 1 drinks.

Satire Lounge

Denver, CO 80206

One of Pete’s Places (famous denver bar and greasy spoon owner). Very Seedy, but in the best way possible.

Streets Of London Pub

Denver, CO 80218

This place is interesting. It strikes me as a good place to argue about UK soccer and is also a favorite of those with ink (tatts). But they pour good guinness.

IRISH SNUG

Irish Snug Restaurant And Bar

Denver, CO 80218

This is a fairly new entrant to the Colfax scene, but is a huge success. A blend of traditional Irish pub with American flavor, great outdoor seating. The food is pretty good too.

Sancho's Broken Arrow

741 E Colfax Ave , Denver, CO 80203

Sancho’s is a complete grateful dead bar. It’s fun if you don’t mind petuli.

Red Room

Denver, CO 80203

This was usually my last stop on the tour, so I’m a little fuzzy on details but I think they play techno and it’s sort of a hipster place.
