Great spot with an awesome atmosphere. Improper City does a great job bringing together good drinks, good people, and a creative, community-driven space. I’ve had some of my wood art hung there, which speaks to how much they support local artists and makers. Always a fun place to hang out and spend time in Denver.

Super fun bar with a wide array of seating types and events. Suffice it to say that getting to this bar is a bit of a trek for me but we make it happen on a regular basis. Genuinely incredible staff, fun rotating drink selection with strong mainstays... I only wish I could pick it up and place it across the street from where I live.

This place is kind of ridiculously amazing. It's expansive inside and out with kind of a bohemian shic vibe but not so much you want to throw rocks at anyone. Huge beer list, really great espresso, enough booze to keep a cocktailer happy. Nice staff. Looks like yummy food trucks. Lots of young people on their laptops kind of joint but I bet this is also a place for a party.
