A few weeks ago, i was having a few drinks at one of my new favorite club nights in Denver (Lipgloss at La Ruhmba, we will talk about that place later) and I was outside trying to stay warm as I finished my cigarette when I was approached by a short and attractive woman named Alissa who was in need of a light for her cigarette. She said that she was a former PBR rep and that she just opened her first bar. She was so excited about the place. She gave me her business card and she wrote on the back of it, good for two free drinks. I turned the card over to revel the name...

Tooey's off Colfax
Winner of the Westword 2009 Best New Bar in Town. Crongrats!
Alissa and her husband bought the old Baca Room and with a quick remodel the place was open fro business. There was no cover and it's only a few short blocks from my house so last Friday night a friend and I took a walk down to Tooey's off Colfax.
It was shortly after ten and we were having a little trouble at first finding the place( they need a bigger sign, maybe one that lights up) we arrived. Its located right behind Kinga Lounge and The Irish Snug on Colfax if and when you go and cant find the place.
If it wasn't for the bar in the middle of the place it would look more like a art studio with several excellent pieces of local artwork on the walls.
I wasn't expecting to find the gem that I found.
The crowd was a mixture of people all young and friendly and the drinks were cheap. Not only because I had my little free drink card which gave me two free drinks. I didint even end up useing it because it made me fell like a cheapskate. They had a local hip hop band consisting of three friends and they were freakish good, providing good sound for the night. As it got later the tiny place began to fill and shortly become standing room only and no one seemed to mind
After all is said and done the staff at Tooey's is a super cool chill bar with incredibly friendly staff so please stop by after work or on Saturday and have a drink or two.

The Park Tavern
921 E 11th Ave
Denver, CO 80218-2803
Phone: (303) 832-7667
Another good spot with great late night happy hours. 2-1 on most beer and drinks.They give you little poker chips with every drink to redeem whenever you want that free drink.Its really a pretty cool idea if u ask me.
The food there is basic and honestly plan but its cheep and the kitchen is open all night.
The one downside i did find was that if u wanted to smoke u had to put your drink down with a coaster on it so someone doesn't throw it away and make your way back out the front door and stand around talking with the other smokers. Ok so we cant smoke inside and one day i hope to be a non-smoker but till then i wish place who have a patio like they do to open it up to smokers who can sit down with there drinks and food and hang out not worry about there stuff. ok now with that being said it is a good place for friendly faces and cheep beer.

05/11/2008 Posted by fruitopia22 Here's the deal: It's practically always happy hour at this place, meaning 2-for-1 drinks pretty much anytime you're there. If it's not happy hour, it's probably $2-U-Call-Its (Tuesday nights), or DOLLAR drinks (Saturday nights). And even if none of things happen to be going on while you're there, the drinks are still cheaper than most places anyway. Plus, there's bingo on Monday nights and trivia on Wednesday nights, poker on Sundays, tons of TV's if you want to watch a sports game, and there are pool and foosball tables. So if the cheap drinks and tons of entertaining activities aren't enough to convince you that the Park Tavern is awesome, try the food!! Seriously, the pizza is surprisingly good (and cheap)!! The Greek salad is another one of my favs, along with the buffalo chicken sandwich. The burgers are tasty as well, and my biggest complaint is that mine might not have been cooked exactly to temperature (I asked for medium, and it was more along the medium-well side). Although there can sometimes be white-trashy type people there, there are also the awesome, down-to-earth people there too! I definitely agree with what has been said about there not being yuppies, just a good mix of different, genuine people! Including the staff!! So you tell me, what more could you want?!?

This place has been a good reliable spot on capital hill for many years now.The cheep beer, good food and friendly staff are probably some of the reasons why they have been around for so long.
They have one of the best happy hours around 2-1 drafts, long island and margaritas from 4-7pm. They have several food items which are all equally priced and equally good(Try the little BBQ brisk sandwich damn good).
The bar is rather large with ample seating in three different areas. A large outside patio for us smokers(which is very important) and several pool tables.
All around i found it to be a great spot and i shall return as often as i can.

Happy Hour and trivia Wed. is all you really need to know.
Where else can you get TALL 2 for 1s after work all day? Not only that...but its a great deal on appetizers also. I have been there after work and its busy, for a game its busy and for no reason and it was busy. A great place to go if you are not sure where to start the night - and you just might finish there also.

I went to Govs Park for a friends birthday last week. The weather was terrible and God forbid if you can park anywhere in the vicinity of the restaurant. It was crowded and absolutely boiling hot inside - think sweaty mullets and you'll get the picture. If you like to get 2-for-1 big as$ beers, this is place for you. But you better drink fast because it's so flippin hot in there your 2nd beer will be hot before you get back to your table (if you can even find a table). And if you drink wine, good luck. You'll be hungover before the first sip is completely down your throat. There weren't any good wines on the menu and the waitress almost made me feel like a snob for asking! I can't comment on the food - I was so disgusted by the heat and the atmosphere alone the only thing my menu was good for was trying to fan myself with air.
I found the crowd to be obnoxious and the guys drunk and way too forward.
