Inside: tHERe Cocktail Lounge and Coffee Bar

Where everyone will know your name...

tHERe Cocktail Lounge and Coffee Bar is a sister act to HER Bar (also located on Colfax), both advocates for Homosexual Equal Rights located in the heart of Denver and directed toward to the GLBT (Gay/Lesbian/Bisectual/Transexual) community but certainly known for being "straight friendly".  tHERe is lesbian owned and operated, providing a warm and comfortable atmosphere where everyone is soon to know your name, like a neighborhood GLBT "Cheers".

A somewhat rustic exterior opens to a friendly and welcoming staff that is sure to make you feel at home.  As you stroll through, you will notice various pieces of artwork displayed by the featured community artist of the month as well as the owner's favorite abstract pieces and quotes inspiring a collective and enlightened vibe.  You will then get started with either your bartender or barista (depends on what kind of day you've had), thus leading you either upstairs into a cool, relaxing "family room" vibe, or downstairs into a gloomy, yet inspiring basement feel.  tHERe bar is not one to intimidate or judge. Be open, be yourself, be HER.
