Lakeview Lounge

On a recent trip back to Denver we decided to re visit the good ole Lakeview Lounge. Holy Hell this place is as awesome as a dive as I remember. First, they have mystery shots wrapped in brown paper bags. Second, a pretty neat outdoor seating area that looks over several lanes of the lovely Sheridan Blvd, and Third a completely dumpy bathroom full of shit smells and peeling paint. Overall, I say this dumper is a okay in my book. The cleanest part of the place is the front windows that allows you to look past the traffic as mentioned before and into Sloans Lake and the Denver skyline. One of these years I'll have to saddle up and watch the sunrise in this gloomy dive. I'll put it on my bucket list.

Dirty, smoky, dark, creepy ....and CASH ONLY!?

We literally turned around and walked out.

The best dive bar in Edgewater, hands down. The staff is nice (unless you're a dick), they allow dogs, and most of the people who hang out there know each other.

In fact, if not for the Lakeview Lounge, I'd still be miserable and single.  I met my boyfriend there two years ago, and we now have an adorable little girl.

The only down side to the Lakeview is that they are a CASH ONLY bar.  There is an ATM inside, however, and the fee is $2.00.
