  Cheap drinks, dirty glasses, and some of the biggest freaks I've encountered in Denver. This is perhaps the most appropriately-named establishment I have ever visited (I mean that in a mostly good way). Go there with with the right thirst and attitude and I bet you'll have a good time. And if not, you'll still have money in your pocket for some Taco Bell across the street.

  This place is super quirky (in a good way).  We got there and the owner greeted us each as we walked in.  The live band playing was really good, I wish we had gotten there sooner to see more of their set.  It's a tiny place, but it has a lot of charm.  The owner is clearly working very hard to improve the place, he told us he had just purchased new taps with high-quality beer. A little more time and some new carpet and this place will be a neighborhood gem.

  let me start by saying that it is not what you expect to walk into. surely it isn't a dive bar by common standards, but a great bar non the less.
  the dive bar's usual patrons are an older but very interesting crowd.
  Try going on one of the karaoke nights! especially if you are sick of watching prissy, sugar drink swilling college kids sing call me maybe and and I put your picture away...
  my personal favorite story from this bar is from one of the regulars, telling about the day she was married to her husband, and the justice of the peace asked that they have the ceremony at his home. placing them in front of the television and moving them slightly apart so he could watch the football game.

  I came here with my bf on a Saturday night. It cracks me up that this bar is in fact called The Dive Bar. Can you really be a dive bar simply by naming the business as such? Perhaps so. In this case, dive bar seems to be an appropriate moniker.
  
  I'm not one for down and dirty, gritty bars and this place wasn't terrible, but it was definitely worn, as were several of its clientele. One of my boyfriend's co-workers had a birthday gathering here. When we entered the bar, we found our party close to the door, with several tables pushed together. The bar was surprisingly large upon entrance and also has a second room that extends the size of the bar. There were TVs playing, but lucky us, Saturday night is Karaoke night from 9 pm-1 am. Yay!
  
  I've never thought karaoke was for me and although I'd previously never experienced, I can now confirm that there is no need for anyone to ever hear my tone-deaf self singing. And honestly several of the people who continued to get up and sing multiple times should have been stopped. No one should have been subjected to the caterwauling of some of its patrons. Somehow I survived, but we only stayed for a couple of hours and then escaped.
  
  I opted for water, as I wasn't too sure about the drinks being served. The bf ordered a screwdriver and the orange, was very vibrant, unlike any oranges found in nature. It was quite a weird drink, but he still ordered a second drink, brave soul that he was.
  
  While I didn't find this place one that I would return, it wasn't horrible. I have to say that the service was excellent and the manager was very friendly and helpful. He came over and added more tables to our group as more people arrived and to make sure our party was out of the path of the karaoke table which was right across the way from where we were sitting. He was so nice and thanked us for coming in on our way out.

  Fun! Thumpin' jukebox at night in a place barely larger than a Highlands Ranch living room.
  They take credit cards, have a solo pool table, and a shockingly normal crowd for Colfax!
  Four flat screens for games and friendly staff on our visit. Pool tourneys on Saturday nights.
  Try the Starburst shot!
