Front Range Inn

A perfect C+/B- sort of bar.  Close to the (now old) home, cheap drinks, and a cozy little place to catch a buzz or just hang out for awhile.  Food isn't all that great, but it is edible, and gets MUCH better after a few drinks.  The regular crowd is usually entertaining, and the staff is very friendly.  But in the end, nothing to write home about, go out of my way for, or do much more than swing by for a cold beer if I'm in the neighborhood.

This establishment is the first stop on our 2012 Bar Tour.  The GF and I want to see more of the metro areas drinking establishments and started with a place close to home.  This dive bar has been here forever with several management changes.  The view from the bar of the front range is beautiful even if the bar itself is not.  The atmosphere is dark and somewhat dank with an elevated bar section with a few tables and a main area with several tables and some games along the back wall.  There is a smoking patio off the bar.  Happy hour was 2 fer for draft beer.  The folks at the bar appear to be hardcore regulars and not too friendly, but not that uncomfortable either.

Extra..Extra..read all about it...The Front Range Inn has re-opened under new management...and that means a nother place to catch live music
in a casual maner...The best of the old Range employees, and some great new ones too..If ya just want a place to hang with the gang..watch
any sports..Play cards...or just boose and bull...this will work...2 fers on your first drink...new cook with a new fryer on the way...usual bar fare..
but a "Cheers" kinda feel...Alot of local musicians are finding the Range
as a great place to gig...more of a show feel than a dance club...and that is fine with me....plenty of parking and great for sport teams to gather after their games...bikers and golfers all hanging together like family..
I know...strange huh....check it out for your self...we wont tell anyone you stopped in...so go west on Morrison from Wadsworth to the big packing lot on the north side of the street and see waht all the chat is about..
