Where to Drink Guinness in Denver This Holiday Season | Eater

"Practically on the University of Denver campus, the sprawling college bar Crimson and Gold is dedicated to DU’s sports teams, The Pioneers. No matter if you’re cheering on lacrosse or basketball (or belting a song on karaoke night), you can hang while enjoying a pint of Guinness. The sprawling bar also offers eats from local food truck Chibby Wibbitz, which specializes in chicken sandwiches, hamburger sliders, tacos, and loaded tots like the ones topped with kimchi, bulgogi, gochujang, and scallions." - Rebecca Treon

I’m pretty sure I was drugged here by a bartender. I never set my drinks down or leave them unattended — I’m aware of how I look, and I know I could be a potential target. So Im always inherently cautious. Thats why im positive it was a bartender. I had two rum and cokes — normally I can have three before I even feel anything. But after just two, I started blacking in and out in 5-minute intervals. Five minutes conscious, then gone. Then back again. Over and over. That’s not alcohol. That’s GHB or Rohypnol. While I was in one of those blacked-out states, I was punched in the face — hard. That punch snapped me back to full consciousness. I was disoriented, bleeding, and in no condition to defend myself. I’m a guy — good-looking, lean, smaller build. I wasn’t flashing cash or acting reckless. I didn’t look like a robbery target. Which makes me believe this was something else... something darker. --- Update: This happened just before COVID. And I’m still pissed — not just because of what happened to me, but because of how the bar chose to handle it. A staff member came up to me while I was bleeding and asked, “Who did this to you?” I pointed the guy out. They didn’t call the police. They just kicked him out. No report. No accountability. No protection. On my way out I asked a staff member, sepcifically the bouncer at the door, why didn't yall call the cops, i just got assaulted, he told me directly: “They dodn’t want to get the cops involved because they would’ve shut the bar down that night. Everyone would have been told to leave....” So instead of doing the right thing — protecting a drugged, assaulted customer — they made a business decision. And I’ve had to live with that ever since. I didn’t know how to process it at the time. I didn’t understand what had happened to me until I started talking about it years later. But now I do — I was drugged. And worse could have happened that night. I was in no condition to fight back. No ability to defend myself. And the people who should have stepped in… didn’t. In a way I was lucky I got blasted in the head twice, because it brought my nervous system back online, but that doesnt mean it was right. Now that it’s public and showing up in your Google reviews, now you want to treat it seriously? No. That moment passed. This is just damage control. I have to live with what happened. You can live with this.

Crimson and Gold is a hidden gem near DU—the atmosphere is always lively, welcoming, and a perfect way to get the night started. The vibe strikes the perfect balance between laid-back and energetic. Aside from the atmosphere, let’s talk about the real MVP: the blonde bartender who gave absolutely stellar service. Charming, quick with a pour, and somehow managed to handle the packed bar gracefully. 10/10 will be back, mostly because I think my drink misses me.

The absolute worst service I’ve received at any trashy college bar in my life. Two years of visits in a row I’ve experienced bartenders who will blatantly serve people who just walked up in front of you, and continue to ignore you. Crazy attitude to go with it. Watched the bartender pour everyone’s drink with half the amount in a normal single as well. Just drink anywhere else first if you plan on going here.

Went here before the DU hockey game. Server with the 8ball jacket on was awful. Took 15 minutes to be greeted, another 15 minutes to get a soda and a beer. She said there was a communication error. Watched her sitting by the bar eating chicken wings not concerned about doing her job at all. We won’t be returning. Awful service.

Crimson and Gold have their vibe. It's a fun place on the weekends but would recommend that you be a student to enjoy the atmosphere. Their pioneer ale was pretty good tho. Their Cornhole setup was awesome!

C&G is classic. I absolutely love this bar and they have earned my patronage for years to come. This is a staple in town and I would highly recommend a visit.
