“ Awesome spot! Best bar atmosphere in Englewood. We came for Friday open mic and enjoyed the comedy and musicians that performed. Bar staff is super friendly. Owner Harrison is so welcoming. Great selection of beer, cocktails, and even a solid variety of NA beer and ciders. We’ll be back for comedy night on Thursdays! ”
“ This is absolutely one of the best bars in the Denver area. It’s not quite a dive bar, but it’s definitely a neighborhood joint. They have a super friendly staff, excellent tap list, wonderful cocktails, and fun events most days of the week. Western Sky is the kind of bar you can go to by yourself without knowing anyone, and end the night have a few new friends. ”
“ Great spot for trivia! They have a truly awesome “this is a clue” trivia night with a great host and friendly bartenders. Good amount of gluten free drink options and they’ve had food trucks for the trivia nights we’ve been to. Definitely a good find! ”
“ This is the friendly neighborhood bar you've been looking for! They have 40 tabs, with a great selection of craft beers, ciders, and seltzers. If beer is not what you're looking for, Whitney is a mixed drink connoisseur and will whip up a drink to your liking. They don't have a full kitchen but serve a great selection of pizzas, pretzels, and other snacks. They host local food trucks on event nights. The staff are attentive, knowledgeable, and very personable. As a female, I am comfortable going by myself and have made some really good friends here. Oh, and they're dog friendly! ”
“ These guys are awesome! I came for Jackbox night and got two “beer shots” for winning two different games. The host was really friendly and I enjoyed my little shots. I’ll have to try some full size drinks next time. They also have pizzas which one of the people I came with let me have a slice of, and it was decent. ”
“ Love this place! Friendly neighborhood vibes, Friday Karaoke Night is sooo fun! Never have to wait too long for a drink. Gluten free options on tap!!! Dog friendly. Patio out back. ”
“ The best community bar. The best owners. The best bartenders. It’s an all inclusive spot with amazing entertainment, craft beer selection, and cocktails. If you’re looking for the quintessential “Cheers” experience, this is the place to find it! ”
“ One of my favorite bars in the Denver metro area. Vibes are always good, and it really feels like a homey "living room" in Englewood, an airy, relaxed, and welcoming third space where, unlike other bars in the area, I have never once felt uncomfortable or unsafe being by myself or simply being myself, particularly as a neurodivergent person. Karaoke on Friday nights is always a blast with an extremely talented and supportive crowd. I haven't been to any of their numerous other events yet, such as Jackbox games night on Tuesdays or the monthly book club on Mondays, but they're great about posting their weekly schedule, and I'm intrigued by the options that I plan to attend. The Candy Cane Hot Cocoa in the photo blew me away with how tasty it was, which far exceeded my expectations and past experiences with similar drinks, and improved my somewhat bleak mood at the time significantly through flavor alone. It's seasonal, so come get one while you can! Also, they host a diverse array of delicious food trucks on the back patio, and I've gotten to experience much more of Denver's food culture than I would have otherwise just by coming here for karaoke. Truly a delightful hub of local culture and community. ”
