Workin 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin! Sometimes known as the daily grind, working every day can really start to take it's toll on you. Perhaps that is why so many of us hardworking folks can't wait 'til that clock strikes 5 so we can head to our favorite spot to unwind.

Harry's Bar

818 17TH ST DENVER, CO 80202

Bright lights. Big City. Small Bar. Although it’s the main bar at the Magnolia Hotel in downtown Denver, you will usually find enough regulars keeping the barstools warm that it always feels welcoming and warm. With a maximum occupancy of 67 people, it’s never too hard to find a spot to call your own.

The Dive Bar

Whether you know it or not, you love Dive Bars. They are the hard to find, hole in the walls that start out as a secret and turn into the coolest bar in town. Come on, you know you love ’em!

Candlelight Tavern Bar & Grill

833 S PEARL ST DENVER, CO 80209

Go here once and it’s almost guaranteed you’ll go back again. This ‘dive bar’ is no longer a big secret, but certainly is worth hitting up for a Happy Hour cocktail and smile from your server. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for this out of the way Wash Park drinking hole that has more regulars than Cheers ever had.

The Corner Office

1401 CURTIS ST DENVER, CO 80202

Oh Behave! This shagadelic Martini bar is definitely hot right now and all the after 5 crowd come here to sip their drinks and strut their stuff. With sticky notes in the bathrooms you can always give your digits to someone while shimmying your way past the mid-century modern bar. And because it’s located in the Curtis Hotel, getting lucky means getting a room!

The Corner Bar. A lot of us have one. You know the one that you keep going back to again and again because you feel right at home. That’s because you spend more here than you do on rent! The bartender knows you by name and your drink is ready before you sit down.

Lancer Lounge the

233 E 7th Ave, Denver, CO 80203

The Lancer is about as divey as they get in Denver. The bartenders have been working here for years and the customers have been coming for just as long. Wanna talk about cheap drinks? How about 2 for 1 specials and shots that look more like doubles. Speaking of doubles, am I seeing two of you?

Don's Mixed Drinks

723 E 6TH AVE DENVER, CO 80203

Once upon a time, Don’s was also a hidden gem in the city. Now, it’s still pretty divey but a lot more popular. Don’s runs the gamut with it’s clientelle. But it’s friendly, cheap, has decent music and free shuffleboard. what more do you need?

The Meet and Greet Bar

Sometimes we want something more with our drinks and I’m not talking about appetizers!  Are you looking for a drink with a side of eye candy? Don’t be ashamed.  All you need is love. And one of these bars.

Earl's Restaurant Downtown

1600 Glenarm Pl Apt 1003, Denver, CO 80202

I’ve never seen more men in one bar in my life (excluding topless bars, of course). Something about Earl’s just makes you feel a little saucy. Perhaps the men are there for the giant flat screen TVs always tuned into the best game of the day. I think it’s the cute waitresses in mini skirts. Either way, you are sure to find someone to strike up a conversation with at Earl’s. And the icy cold martinis aren’t too shabby either.

The 9th Door

1808 BLAKE ST DENVER, CO 80202

Are you looking for something a little more steamy? The 9th Door is muy caliente! This Spanish Tapas Bar has super Happy Hour specials and plenty of sexy people sipping sangria. I suggest the white sangria for a delicously light treat. Arriba!

Mmmmm, beer! You’ve got some good taste in bars here, and I may try some that I’ve never hit before.

I am searching GSpot for a place to meet my girlfriend for a drink tomorrow after work (Long lost friend from college!) and I might just hit up one of your recommendations… This is your department!
