If you haven’t been inside, you’ve probably glimpsed the giant mural of Johnny Cash gracing their west wall as you rolled down 13th Avenue. Really two bars in one, the front room caters to DJ sets and karaoke under banks of TVs playing old movies, while the back room contains a stage for live local and national bands and a disco lighting kit you’ll be proud to dance under. The real prize is the patio. Open during the warmer months, it has a full service bar and plenty of seating for smokers to mingle.

I wish this place was good. It is in a good location and easy to walk to if you live in Cap Hill. Unfortunately they never have good music and the karaoke and open mic nights are awful. The Staff is by far the worse I've seen anywhere in Denver. They are rude and act like they don't want to be there. I get treated poorly every time I have been there. But It won't happen again as I will not return.

    Let the good times roll.

  • The best venue for live music on Capitol Hill, hand’s down. Bender’s books the hottest up-and-coming bands in the country—rock, punk, country, and metal—and if there is not a band on stage you are likely to find a DJ, a troop of burlesque dancers or a barfly drunkenly assailing “Stand By Your Man,” to the hoots of a hundred karaoke enthusiasts. The crowd is a mix of hipsters and punkers, and so, for that matter, is the staff. There is never a cover for the main room, and there is a big patio for smokers. When you get there, say "Hi" to Luke, master bartender.

    What exactly is 'eh?'

    Eh. I don’t feel strongly about it either way. I don’t hate it or love it, I wouldn’t recommend it or dismiss it, it just is.
