Latchkey Denver is exactly what this neighborhood was missing! We absolutely love this bar. The owners & staff are super friendly and make a mean carajillo. They’re the most dog friendly bar I’ve been to in Colorado and literally know you’re dogs by their name. As a 30 something it’s nice to have a place to go where I’m among peers and not a younger crowd. We celebrated my last birthday here (pictured) watched our favorite sports team and hit their happy hour more times than we should have lol. Plus they always have the best local food trucks. If you haven’t already been there you NEED to go check it out & play some darts or pool!

Latchkey is hands down one of the most welcoming and fun places I’ve ever been. From the moment you walk in, the energy is incredible — happy pups playing, owners relaxing, and an atmosphere that just makes you smile. What really sets Latchkeys apart, though, is the staff. They don’t just work there, they truly care. Every team member goes out of their way to make sure the gays, galls, dogs and palls are having the best time possible. They’re attentive, kind, and always on top of things — whether it’s keeping the environment safe and clean for the dogs, offering great service at the bar, or simply greeting you with a friendly smile that makes you feel at home. It’s rare to find a place where you can enjoy a drink, socialize, and watch your pup have the time of their life — but Latchkey nails it. Between the amazing staff, the great drinks, and the dog-friendly vibes, it’s a one-of-a-kind spot that you’ll keep coming back to. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a place where both you and your dog will be treated like family! 🐾🍹 Foreskin-Franny approved

Latchkey is more than just a bar. It's a community of people that have made Denver feel like a home to me. The staff are amazing, attentive and fun to be around! They also have a pool table and dart board. But the best part is that dogs are allowed inside the bar, so I get my fix of puppy pets when I am there.

We had the most amazing Christmas party at this bar, and I can’t say enough great things about the experience. From the moment we walked in, the energy was warm, festive, and perfectly welcoming. Charlotte was an absolute standout behind the bar—her service was flawless, her presence radiant, and her eyes are truly unforgettable. She made every guest feel seen, cared for, and celebrated, all while keeping things running smoothly and effortlessly. Jimmy brought his own magic to the night with his uniqueness, charisma, and undeniable talent. He has that rare ability to make everyone feel comfortable and entertained while delivering top-tier service with a smile. The entire staff made our Christmas party feel special, seamless, and full of joy. Incredible drinks, incredible people, and unforgettable memories. Five stars all around—this place truly knows how to do it right. 🎄✨🍸
