Some bars just get it, and Candlelight Tavern is one of them. Dark, laid-back, cheap drinks, a damn good burger + the kind of bartenders and local crowd that make you feel like a regular, whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth. Snag a seat at the bar if you can, order some food, catch a game or get competitive over pool, shuffleboard + darts. Easily one of our favorite Denver dives.
THE ASC TAKE
✔️ THE ORDER
Get the burger + onion rings. Exactly the kind of greasy, satisfying bar food you want from a proper neighborhood dive.
🪩 THE VIBE
Make a Night of It · Sit at the Bar · Casual · Drinks First · Game Day
⚠️ THE CATCH
It's a true dive bar, so expect a dark, lively space rather than a polished cocktail lounge. And if the Lions are playing, remember this is Denver's official Detroit Lions bar. Game day can bring a crowd.
