How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it.

SO cool in here! Huge bar with tons of space, great music, and lots of games . We played pool and had a few drinks - bar tender was great & helpful, lots of good photos ops and stuff to look at all around the walls - they sell swag shirts and hats in the front store. Would be cool to come back on a busy night and see all the action!

I have never felt so taken advantage of, had loads of fun with my friend. I wish one day a woman half as sexy as theses women wants to interact with me for a reason other than it being their job. Green hair girl with the white contacts was nice and personable. My buddy paid for a body shot and the black hair girl just fed it to him instead of doing a proper body shot but he wasn’t upset, it’s the most attention he has gotten from a woman all year. Got drunk, had fun.

It was our first time there and definitely not gonna be last! We loved the bartender girls vibe and atmosphere was also nice. We danced on the bar with the bartender and the shots are also affordable and good though. I think weekdays are not super busy, but still they’re doing great.

We visited this location while in Denver and it was a fairly neutral experience. It wasn’t too busy (we did go on a weekday) but that being said the staff weren’t too attentive either. Overall not a bad experience, just not what you would anticipate at an “iconic” bar.
