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 ExtrasThe 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 EatGet chips and peanuts for $1; some days, hot pickles are available. Still hungry? Order a pizza or Thai food for bar-side delivery.
Look GoodYou can't play doubles or more than eight games in a row, and you have to wear your baseball cap bill-forward.

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
