Top Four “Undive” Dive Bars
So, the quest continues. Where can you find cheap PBR in town without taking a toothless man home after eight adult beverages (and possibly some Wild Turkey shots too). Well, leave your gum-grinning buddy belly up and check out some different watering holes.
Herb’s Hideout
21 and Larimer
Well, it may be a little dive bar north of LoDo. It also may have crack smoking bums in the alleys. And I guess you might not get in without being hustled for some change. But Herb’s is, by far, Denver’s best kept secret. Okay, so PBRs are $3 on tap a little steep, but the music, oh the music. With an emphasis on local bands playing jazz, funk, blues and even big band, you will never go in there on an off night. There is some nice looking people there too. If you are there for other purposes (than listing to music, silly!) you may end up fetching yourself a hot date too.
Walnut Room
31 and Walnut
A high-end, almost intimate concert venue but just small enough to be a neighborhood bar, the Walnut Room slings damn tasty pizzas and, of course, has PBR on tap. Just a baby to Denver, it is a bit of a hike from downtown and capitol hill, but a tasty hike. Walnut room screams “classy” warehouse with high ceilings, an outdoor patio and a rockin’ concert room. I’m pretty sure that their cheese pizza at midnight with a cold PBR might just be the best combination ever. The Walnut Room is not lacking in swank, but is also a humble little home for your belly.
Streets of London
Colfax and Franklin
Oh, but of course, how we do love Streets. Let me count the ways….
$1 PBR
$1 PBR
$1 PBR
$1 PBR
Sundays and Mondays are $1 PBR nights. Need I say more? Well, I will. A Colfax fav, Streets has been in the drinking scene forever, it seems. Did I mention $1 PBRs? On Tuesdays it is $2 U-call-its. Good people, drunk people, cute people, crazy people. Decent food too. GO!
The Squire
Colfax and High
Colfax dive bar: (n) The Squire
Bionic Beaver: (n) Every alcohol combined in a pitcher, including PBR
Comedy night: (n) Finger poppin’ fun times on Tuesdays
Stripper pole: (n) Drunken hysterical mess
The Squire has everything you didn’t ever want to see in a bar and everything we all love in a bar. Don’t ask, just go. You’ll love it. It’s a damn good guilty pleasure.
