The Best Denver, Colorado Bars | Eater Denver

"The portrait of an imperial bulldog at the entrance lets first-timers know they can expect the unexpected at this LoDo go-to — and the bar crew proves it, serving up rocking concoctions like the Calcifer’s Heart with tequila, shochu, Fino Sherry, pear, and Korean chili paste as well as shots of George Dickel with roast-beef jus chasers. (The latter come courtesy of the kitchen, which specializes in fabulous French dips, of all things.) Also worth a stop is Pony Up’s West Colfax sibling, Side Pony, which doubles as a coffeehouse." - Ruth Tobias
