Editorial Review for Colorado Bar – by Citysearch Editors

In Short
It's perpetually night behind the blacked-out windows and heavy wooden doors of this timeless neighborhood dive, Patrons rave about the potent cocktails--especially the spicy bloody marys made with airplane-sized cans of tomato juice. Two pool tables, a dart board and five TVs keep folks occupied in between drinks; what really catches the eye, though, is a bright yellow emergency phone labeled "City Cab," which hasn't worked in years.

Insider Tips

The Extras

The jukebox features everything from rare funk to Celtic classics, from light rock to heavy metal. Bring plenty of quarters--get three songs for $1.

What to Eat

Get chips and peanuts for $1; some days, hot pickles are available. Still hungry? Order a pizza or Thai food for bar-side delivery.

Look Good

You can't play doubles or more than eight games in a row, and you have to wear your baseball cap bill-forward.

i agree! ive only been there once...i will NEVER go again....its was kind of dirty.. i know its a dive bar....but there were alot of creepy gezzers there who acted like they have never seen a girl before..i just felt really uncomfortable there...i would never go back....go to the vault across the street!

Pros: you can smoke in there

Cons: old creepy guys who act like theyve never been a chick before!

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

The Colorado is one of the few places left were you can sit, have a good drink which is inexpensive. The place have very dim lighting which is different from alot of places, not to mention the fact that smoking is definetely allowed. They dont believe in ash trays so getting all dressed up is not recommended nor required. It does have a younger type of crowd but you'll have plenty of fun, whether it be drinking, playing darts or playing pool. The crowd is very diverse and the bartenders are great. I recommend this place to anyone looking for a change and not be disappointed.

Pros: Diverse Crowd, Inexpensive, Casual

Cons: Crowded, Small Bathroom

Beyond Old Town's sparkle, this cheap and dark dive bar attracts college students, veterans and artists.  See the full editorial review.
