Dougherty's Neighborhood Pub

Good neighborhood pub indeed!  We all know how much I love this particular neighborhood, and Dougherty's is exactly the kind of place that belongs here.  It's simple and basic, nice relaxing decor, and booze and food.  No frills, no gimmicks, just a neighborhood hangout.

We came here Sunday for some drinks and to exchange Christmas presents, our server was really friendly.   The downside is the TVs aren't strategically placed, so you have to pick your spot well if you're looking to catch a game, but that's not terrible.  I haven't tried the food here, but I probably will have the chance as I'm coming back.

Cheers!

I love this place.  It's a great neighborhood bar.  The staff is wonderful, the owners are truly invested in the quality of the business, and it's a great local crowd.  The food is delicious and comes in large portions.  I'm sad the Guinness Ice Cream had to go, but still, love the place.

2012 Review #300:
Our only experience with Dougherty's was not a very pleasant one, but it had nothin to do with the bar. Nonetheless we weren't wanting to run back too soon but a group of people wanted to go. It's a dive, but it's not a creepy dive. It's the type of place that makes S Broadway interesting and I hope doesn't get razed for a fancy wine bar.
Basics:

Daily drink specials.

Large space.

Nice bartenders.

Billiards.

Female and male differentiated restrooms. I point this out because I somehow didn't catch this at first. Whoops.

Food menu until late. Including super spicy Irish nachos. They were strangely cold, though. We also tried a crab cake, which was better than I was expecting.

Dougherty's also has Hammerschlagen, a very German game with a high potential for bodily injury, which also means it's fun and good for a crowd. I'd never played before so maybe this is one of the few places in Denver to offer it. All around, this is a good, down to basics place that's refreshing in the onslaught of shiny new offerings.
