An original pub |
4700 Cherry Creek Drive S Denver, CO 80246 United States +1 303 759 0333 http://www.bullandbush.com/ |
For more than 25 years, the Bull and Bush pub has been offering patrons a cozy place to drink in an authentic London atmosphere. The interior is weathered and worn, yet the dark wood, red glass lanterns, and coppertop bar still manage to exude a Victorian feel. Eight to 10 microbrews are always on tap. Each emulates the finest intoxicating flavors Great Britain has to offer. To complement the beer, you can order the standard pub grub, including burgers, sandwiches and wings. But the highlight of the menu is definitely the fish and chips. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Irish setting |
1735 19th Street, Suite 150 Denver, CO 80202 United States +1 303 297 0066 http://www.fadoirishpub.com |
Everything from the music to the old-fashioned Irish whisky will remind you of the Emerald Island. When the owners made the pub, they set out to make an Irish experience and by all accounts did not fail. The dining and drinking areas were actually constructed in Ireland and shipped to Denver. If you need a "I-am-in-Denver" reality check, grab a seat on the deck and get an awesome view of Coors Field. Entree selections include corned beef and cabbage, Cottage Pie, Gaelic Steak and an all-day Irish breakfast. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Working class pub |
1135 East Evans Avenue (at Downing) Denver, CO 80210 United States +1 303 778 6426 |
This popular pub does not possess a manufactured charm or upscale designer interior to draw in the crowds like many of the other downtown bars. Instead, Fagan's is a nice gathering place with a lived-in, rustic look that takes good care of its regulars and offers a friendly atmosphere for conversation and, of course, drinking. The menu is an interesting mix of Mexican food and traditional English fare. Try the chicken burrito or the tasty Shepherd's Pie. The full bar is stocked with Irish and English beers.

Brewery and great food |
8101 East Belleview Avenue Denver, CO 80237 United States +1 303 770 4741 http://www.gntavern.com |

Drinks and music |
7 South Broadway Denver, CO 80209 United States +1 720 570 4500 http://www.hi-dive.com/ |
Sputnik is a crowded and trendy place. Noise and smoke rule the roost most of the time. Though the place is small and intimate, find crowds streaming in perpetually. The bartenders are prompt and service is good. The food takes its own time to show up. Booze is cheap and the music out of a jukebox makes the place even more noisier. Hi-Dive on the other hand is only for gigs and concerts. On show days the place simply rocks. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Old-fashioned pub |
3625 West 32nd Avenue Denver, CO 80211 United States +1 303 433 2138 http://www.meadststation.com/ |
Occupying a clover-colored store front and brimming with humble furnishings, including church pews, the Mead Street Station knows exactly what it takes to be a neighborhood meeting place: good conversation and good beer. Kick back to live jazz and blues on most nights. The place also has a healthy display of western paintings. For appetizers, try the delicious Mead St. Mussels and Artichoke Dip. There are many kinds of homemade soups including chili. The Dublin Fish and Chips are a must. Steaks, sandwiches, pastas and burgers are also available. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Local's favorite |
1429 Market Street Denver, CO 80202 United States +1 303 572 0667 |
It is hard to believe that a bar that does not offer designer micro-brews, serve food, provide dancing, furnish outdoor seating, or even possess a pool table could survive in Denver's competitive downtown nightlife scene. Yet, Nallen's not only flourishes, but is a local's favorite for those who still believe in the art of conversation. As expected from an Irish pub, it serves pints of Guinness, Harps, and Black and Tans. It also serves a wide variety of imports and domestic beers. Review © 2007, Wcities |

If you are searching for a low-key neighborhood joint, crowded every night with Capitol Hill locals, the Park Tavern might be your best bet. Three two-for-one Happy Hours are offered daily (4:30p-6:30p, and 10p-midnight) making it one of Denver's true drinking nests. The pool tables and jukebox serve as nice diversions.

1477 South Pearl Street Denver, CO 80210 United States +1 303 778 6475 http://www.pearlstreetgrillden... |
The Pearl Street Grill is legendary in the area for having great food and a great bar atmosphere. There is enough space between the bar and dining areas so one can exchange coy glances over quiet conversation with a spouse without worrying about an elbow in the spleen by a Happy Hour holdover. The back deck is unmatched in Denver for its atmosphere. In addition to the standard Mexican and burger fare, the menu also offers pork chops and a salmon filet. The beer menu is huge.

An English pub |
221 West 13th Avenue Denver, CO 80204 United States +1 303 534 7543 http://www.pintspub.com/ |
Marked by an English telephone booth outside the entrance, Pint's Pub is a popular gathering place and lunch destination for the business crowd. The dining room, which comprises two rooms, is flexible enough to offer intimacy for a quiet dinner, or open space and high tables for rowdy soccer crowds. The pub boasts the largest selection of malt whiskies in the region, offering over 135 varieties. It also specializes in brewing cask-conditioned ale. The Charbroiled Salmon Fish and Chips top a menu offering the standard fare of burgers, salads and sandwiches. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Upscale pool hall and pub the Bard himself would love |
2375 15th Cross Street Denver, CO 80202 United States +1 303 433 6000 |
Shakespeare's is an upscale pool hall and pub on the outskirts of downtown, housed in an eloquent building with high ceilings, exposed brick walls, and hard wood floors displaying a wealth of regulation size billiard tables. Billiards Magazine hails it as one of the top pool rooms in the nation. The competition can be intimidating so if you are not up for a game kick back in the comfortable bar and try a plate of the pub's signature dish, fish and chips, or instead opt for pizza, pasta or one of its many sandwiches. Patrons under 21 are welcome. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Locals gather at this Irish-style pub for Happy Hour Monday through Saturday from 4 to 7pm and 10pm to midnight for two-for-one well drinks and drafts. The decor is reminiscent of the "Cheers" television show, with a bar in the middle of the restaurant surrounded by comfortable booths and tables. There is seasonal outdoor seating on the sidewalk.

In style with the Mod Squad |
1501 East Colfax Avenue At Humbolt Street Denver, CO 80218 United States +1 303 861 9103 |
This pub in London offers a British style atmosphere in the heart of Capitol Hill. Flying the Union Jack every day of the year, bartenders pour pints of Guinness, Newcastle and Boddingtons to customers often cloning the fashions of the Mod Squad. On Thursdays, DJ Ouid completes the transformation with a tremendous mix of old and new favorites from Britain, including the Smiths, Blur, the London Suede and Pulp. It is anglophile heaven. Of course, you can order chips from the bar menu. Average costs from USD2.50. Review © 2007, Wcities |

This comfortable, dark bar filled with couches, booths and leather chairs offers an expansive selection of wine by the glass (60 choices) as well as hard-to-find scotches and liquors. The cigar room in the back has the atmosphere of an old English hunt club, except that a ventilator kindly sucks out the smoke (for your health). Cigars run from $6 and up, and a limited pub menu is also available. Live music fills the air five nights a week. Review © 2007, Wcities |
