For the creative moviegoers, the Starz Denver Film Festival presents an almost infinite number of reasons to go out for a drink or two. Pehaps you've just witnessed a particularly harrowing movie that's shaken your faith in humanity, such as "Melancholia." Or maybe you're headed to a film that encourages viewers to loosen up a bit ("Jeff Who Lives at Home") and are looking to pre-game. Lucky for you, there are plenty of watering holes within just a couple of miles of the Starz Film Center. Here are a few of our favorites.

Braun's Bar & Grill and The Penalty Box

Being so close to the Pepsi Center you should expect Brooklyn's to be just what it is - a rowdy sports bar with lots of people yelling at the TVs and drinking pitchers of beer
Lavish Lounge
1448 Market Street - DenverLavish can refer to many things. Chief among them is the idea of bestowing something in great amounts, sometimes to an excessive degree.
