Every time I come here, its the same old song and dance.
Cheap beer, friendly and fast bartenders and waitresses, massive karaoke selection and people you don't instantly hate. Patio out back for the smokers (not to mention a vending machine that sells smokes and a meal if you want) and two fully functioning bathrooms with sinks and soap. What more could you ask for in a bar?
Oh yea, a digital jukebox, couple pool tables, a shuffleboard table, ice for drinks, chairs to sit in and tall things with round tops to put your drinks down on.
Boom. I'm sold. See you there every night (oh yea, karaoke is EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK ).
This is a true dive bar with some of the best entertainment in the metro. Â After drinking from 8:30 until 12:30, our complete tab (2 people) was $26.00. Â
Karaoke starts at 9 PM. Â
The 5 Stars review is not because The Rear Inn is nice, because it is not nice, it is because it is FUN. Â Everyone should check this place out.
The Rear Inn is always a fun way to spend a weekend night. Â Or for that matter, a fun way to spend a week night as well. Â They have karaoke 7 nights a week beginning at 9. Â
Perhaps even better than the karaoke though is the cast of colorful characters that seems to frequent this place. Â This is people watching at it's best. Â It's downright cheap to drink here, the service is good and the bartenders and service are all really friendly. Â It's really easy to lose track of time in this place, it's a total dive bar, and each time I visit, I look at my watch only to realize it's well past midnight. Â Staying out past midnight is rare for me these days. Â
I'm telling you - check this place out, you won't regret it!
This place is as divey as they come. The beer selection is absolutely horrible. The best thing they have on tap is Blue Moon. I'll be honest though, you don't come to this place for the beer selection. You come here for the fact that they have karaoke every night, the crowd is very interesting, and each time I come here I meet folks I wouldn't normally strike up a conversation with. The beer is cheap. Monday nights they have 8 dollar pitchers and anytime the broncos play and they score, you get a free shot of either some peppermint stuff or cactus juice. The karaoke selection is pretty decent and the sound system is good. Seriously, if you want a place off the radar, this is a good place to go.
Review Source:Sometimes it's good to have low expectations. Â For instance, I went to a Mexican restaurant last week with fairly low expectations and ended up finding some of the best Mexican food in town.
I had the same attitude coming to Rear Inn. My friend invited me for some karaoke and after hearing the name, I was already planning a way out of this trip. Â But I decided to make an appearance and was actually pleasantly surprised.
First off, I was happy to see people my own age here (late 20's/early 30's). Â I used to live in Westminster and most bars are packed with grizzled old men and middle aged bar hags, so it was a nice change of scenery.
Drinks, pretty darn cheap. Â A couple beers, a G&T and a shot of vodka cost about $11. Â I would definitely recommend not getting the well gin b/c it's just awful. Though it seems rather appropriate for a place called the "Rear Inn" lounge to serve gin that taste like ass.
The karaoke crowd was fun. Â A decent amount of good singers who can really belt it. Â Generally friendly people at this bar, not always common. Â One thing I don't like is the lack of karaoke song books. Â You basically have to tell the host what you want to sing and he looks it up. Â The selection does appear to be expansive, so that's a plus.
This seems like the perfect place to stop in after a heavy, Mexican meal at Los Arcos. Â I'll def be back for more karaoke.
There are just some nights when you want to rock it out with the old dude jamming by the karaoke machine, dancing to his own beat. Â
Here is why I am a new devoted fan of the Rear Inn:
- I can go in my sweats and tennis shoes and the dude checking IDs at the door thinks I am over dressed
- The beer pong players really liven up the feel of this musty old bar
- The juke box works, it plays your song next, and the guy dancing next to it might just buy you a pitcher of beer when you tell him you love MJ
- People actually sing karaoke, they're not embarrassed, they rock it out, and then all of the sudden you're up there rocking it with them, shaking it to your own personal interpretation of La Bomba
- The shuffle board is free, it's in excellent condition and it is strategically placed next to the crock pots full of mini wieners, meatballs and potato chips (free of course)
- The waitresses are awesome! Â They are friendly, they take your order, go get your drink and bring it back without taking a long smoke break, making a phone call or going to the bathroom in between
- Everyone there is smiling. Â It might be liquor induced, but hey, I love smiling
And let's not lie, who doesn't want to go to a bar called the Rear Inn? Â If that alone doesn't make you crack a smile, you need to drink another beer.
Went back with a gaggle of karaoke enthusiasts and had a great time. There were a lot more people there this time around (aside from our bunch); our server, Rae, was fantastic; drinks were better; and the song selection was great. The KJ did a wonderful job keeping things moving along, too.
And in case you were wondering, the answer is yes. The creepy vending machine is still in full effect.
