Get Your Flirt On
So many boys, so little time. (Credit: Scott D. Smith )
Ladies, admit it. When you get all cuted-up for the evening and end up at a bar with nasty guys, you get disappointed. We have all been there. This guide is to help you avoid those nights. We shouldn't have to suffer with Larry at the end of the bar eyeballing us with his nasty nose hairs hanging out and his Corvette hat atop his head ever, ever again.
The Foundry Billiards Club

The Foundry Billiards Club

1109 Walnut St. - Boulder
303-447-1803

Ahhh, The Foundry. Where to start? Well, for one, this place is a single’s haven—a meat market, a “come over here baby and play with my pool stick” sort of place. It is popular by many college-goers, middle-aged pool hussies and all the great wonders of Boulderites. You can order food such as some artery-clogging nachos and other ‘bar foods’ to tie you over for the night. The food is definitely needed because once the sun goes down this place turns into a part-ay. You can strut your stuff at the pool tables in the lower level or head up to the rooftop with the best view in town. This place gets two thumbs up fo shizzy our nizzy’s. You have to support a place that buys a flat-screen TV in honor of the Rockies during the World Series, right?!

Cowboy Lounge

Cowboy Lounge

1941 Market St. - Denver
303-226-1570

You can leave your spurs and assless chaps at home (although we just got into a deep conversation that all chaps are indeed assless if you don't sport them with trousers) for this tromping good time. It truly is a boot-scootin’ bar for all you rodeo-lovers, but it also welcomes in a huge mix of people as well. They play their share of cowboy music which draws the line-dancers to the floor but also will play some good ol’ rock music as well. With a huge circular bar and spacious dance floor all you add is the diverse DJ and big screen playing rodeo highlights into the mix, and you’re destined to have an amusing night. Fergie lovers—they refuse to play her, so don’t even try to request her.

Tavern Uptown

Tavern Uptown

538 E. 17th Ave. - Denver
303-830-9210

Tobacco enthusiasts averse to the smoking ban or those simply wishing to imbibe in the quasi-open air may want to adopt Tavern Uptown as their de facto watering hole. An outdoor, heated patio section, enclosed in the winter, offers an escape from the cold and windswept sidewalk and features a full bar. Non-smokers can enjoy second-hand smoke of another sort from the historical tavern's roaring fireplace surrounded by worn-in leather couches. Fancy yourself an amateur mixologist? Come in on the weekends for brunch and create your own Bloody Mary elixirs.
