"Opened at the corner of University and Exposition Streets in 1976, Campus Lounge has been a hangout for coeds and denizens of the Bonnie Brae and Wash Park neighborhoods for decades. Thanks to a remodel, it meets at the intersection of dive bar and upscale pub. The nearly windowless neon-lit interior is everything you want from a favorite watering hole, while the menu features leveled-up bar fare. Fans gather to watch their home teams from a plush booth or at the bar, while noshing on burgers, nachos, and enchiladas (bonus: there’s even have a weekend brunch)." - Rebecca Treon
"The Campus Lounge, the currently-shuttered iconic 40-plus-year-old bar in Denver’s Bonnie Brae neighborhood, is getting new life (again). Westword first reported on Friday that the owners of LoHi’s Recess Beer Garden have leased the classic bar and plan to reopen it in mid-December." - Paul Albani-Burgio
"Even though new owners took over south Denver legend the Campus Lounge last September, they are already calling it quits. The bar’s website announced the shutter with 'Campus Lounge has closed for business. We appreciate your support along the way.'" - Erin Perkins
"The second revamp of this 40-year-old former hockey bar is worth the trip back to Bonnie Brae. Customers can still slide into a vinyl booth, order green chile or burgers, and watch a game on the reinstalled televisions." - Josie Sexton
"Campus Lounge, a neighborhood sports bar, has reopened under new ownership. It features TVs, sports memorabilia, and a menu that includes chili cheese fries and nachos." - Josie Sexton
