  My favorite gay bar in Denver. Highly recommend over the Wrangler. Xbar is close and great too if you're from out of town.

  Please don't waste your time or money on this DEPLORABLE ESTABLISHMENT.
  
  1. I was harassed and escorted out this nasty, diseased filled bar by 3 cops and 3 staff members (in cowboy hats), not because I did anything wrong, but because I was targeted because I am a black woman. They claimed my purse was too big (I have NEVER in life been asked to pay to check a purse). I explained to both the terrible looking man in drag and the short rude Mexican staff member that I DID NOT feel comfortable checking my purse, however, they could look inside! I had absolutely nothing to hide. I did have my passport, birth certificate, mail, and other sensitive information in my purse BECAUSE I am moving and had forgotten it was with me. They were letting other people in with purses just as big as mine. He had the audacity to tell me to pay to check my bag with some hillbilly looking guy, AT MY OWN RISK. I told him that I would leave, but I had just bought a drink and I was going to finish it. They also asked me (and no one else) for ID AGAIN. Clearly the dramatic bartender was doing that to get my name for the cops. However, he made up some story about all the underage drinking there. The Mexican staff stood behind me like I was a criminal, then called the cops. I was in shock. Then another extremely rude staff member (white, extremely over the top) comes up to be very violently. He had bad breath and was spitting in my face and yelling "get out now!" I explained that I would gladly leave AFTER I finished the drink I just purchased. The cops didn't say a word. They looked disgusted that all of this was happening over a medium sized purse. How am I not supposed to believe I was targeted because I'm a black woman when I was treated differently than others? Were they assuming I had a gun? Drugs? I wasn't even drunk! I was totally sober and greatly disrespected.
  
  2. The place looks disease ridden. It's absolutely disgusting. Poop in the toilets, no toilet paper. They treat their guests like animals.
  
  3. They charge a cover and MAKE WOMEN pay more of a cover simply because we have vaginas and carry purses.
  
  4. The music sucks and so does the drinks.
  
  My suggestion: this place isn't worth your time. Try X Bar or even Wrangler. I have never had a bad experience at X Bar.
