I had a horrifying experience at Nob Hill in Denver that I will never forget. I had a 8 hour layover in denver colorado and decided to go grab drinks and eat some food before i had to catch my flight I was racially profiled and harassed, And the bartender was not only aware of it but actively participated in it. I am Black, and I was repeatedly called the n-word by local patrons while the bartender joined in and encouraged the behavior. This was not a misunderstanding or a single comment it was ongoing, intentional, and clearly accepted inside this bar. I felt unsafe, humiliated, and targeted because of my race. No employee stepped in to stop it because the employee was part of the abuse. This is not just a bad bar experience it is open racism. Until Nob Hill takes accountability and removes staff who engage in this behavior, I strongly warn people, especially people of color, to STAY AWAY PLEASE. I will never be back in denver colorado ever again after this experience because i am shook up over it literally after i got back home to my family my wife and daughter could see how distraught i was i had to explain to them what i had just witnessed 1st hand and been through while being there it was truly sad and i never in a million years would think it would be me but hey never say never AVOID AVOID AVOID YOU ARE NOT SAFE HERE MY BLACK BROTHERS AND SISTERS

This is the place to be on a Thursday Night after 10pm. Love that this place reminds me of small town bar. Vibes are great and drinks are cheap.

TL;DR.....Very dirty, mice running around, dishonest bartenders who will steal from you I wasn't even going to write a bad review until I checked my bank statement. This place was great at first. Loved the old school dive bar vibe. Then things went downhill. The KJ only allowed friends and regulars to sing karaoke, and told other guests they couldn't sing. There were mice running around, and one just chilling in the middle of the floor. To top it all off, the bartender added $10 to the tip I left on my debit card. That is straight up theft, and I would love to hear from management on why this is allowed to happen. If I do not receive a response from management, I will be disputing the entire charge with my bank. Don't go here.
