Total dive. And that's why I loved it! Bartender gal was a gem, super nice even though we were the youngest patrons there. We had an hour to kill before a concert at the gothic theatre.
Happy hour rocks, your second drink is free! The bartender even let us play mutemath for free on the jukebox! (the show we were waiting for.)
Thank you!
A classic dive bar... Pretty strong drinks... Pool tables... Bar games... and a troft with ice in the men's room. They have a nice long bar with tons of nick nacks behind it. The place is a good size with lots of space. It's a cool place to chill with locals and blue collar types. Check out the wall of photo's with all the regulars from over the years named "Casual Casualties"... This kinda shit cracks me up.
My only complaint about this dive is the parking situation or lack there of. Don't even think of parking in the King Soopers lot across the street. You will be towed faster than it takes the bartender to make a pitcher of bloody beers. Other than that not a bad little place to checkout from time to time.
I used to have a friend that worked there (Cat) and used to stop by there every so often. It just seems like the place had so much...potential. So close to the Gothic, pretty big and fairly cheap drinks. However, they never worked (seriously at least) on getting the Gothic goers in the bar.
If I remember correctly, they didn't take credit cards either. I hate that...
BUT, I always did have fun when I went in there and the crowd was entertaining to say the least. If you are in the neighborhood, stop by and check it out...
This place is the definition of a dive bar!
There is always a cast of characters hanging around the Casual Lounge, be it 6am or 6pm. There's that guy who has been coming here for the past couple decades and met his two ex-wives here. There's that lady that wants you to guess her age, cuz your never gonna guess it raighht. There are those boys who come in and put 4 hours of TuPac on the Jukebox and leave after 30min of playing pool. The bartenders are hilarious and put up with quite a bit of crap from the clientelle. And, I'm certain that this place is a riot just before a show at the Gothic (around the corner).
They have two happy hours, one that is something like 6am-1pm and another in the evening. This is a great place to grab a brew after a hangover breakfast at Breakfast on Broadways. During happy hour the beverages are 2-for-1. You get a dixie cup with your first drink to turn in for your second after you've finished.
There are a couple of pool tables and some video games. The seating in the pool room looks like it came from that old bowling alley around the corner. There's no parking lot, but there is plenty of street parking and King Sooper's is across the street.
This is definitely a spot you should check out if you are in the area. It's extremely amusing, and you'll find yourself spending many more hours there than you intended.
