Visiting Denver with friends, most from Detroit. We were told that they had great burgers and dang is that true. We didn't realize that it's also a place for Lions fans, which made it all the more special. Great atmosphere, great food, great service. It felt like I was transported back to the good old days of the unpretentious, community hangout. Candlelight Tavern will be a must stop for us in the future.

The new dart boards are GREAT! The carpet floor helps protect your personal darts if you get a bounce out.

Exactly what I wanted after getting off work - kitchen is still open until 11:30 so I got a nice, no-frills dive bar cheeseburger and beer for a great price. And it was delicious! Thank you guys!
