I'm surprised that Lustre Pearl doesn't have better reviews here on Yelp! I've came here twice, both times Lustre Pearl has been one of my favorite spots in RiNo and best memories.
Like most bars, the scene changes dramatically from the day to the evening crowd. My first time visiting, we came to drink some beers for Sunday Funday and it was a super chill crowd. Everyone was super nice to talk to, both patrons and bartenders (holla Robinson!). In fact, they were hosting a doggie adoption event that day. It was my last stop before my flight back to Miami, and it was the perfect way to spend my last day in Denver.
On this trip, I was like "We have to go back!", so a few of us girls came out on a Saturday night and Lustre Pearl was turning up. Very busy, good music and a younger crowd (21-35). In fact, all of us in my group made comments that we were surprised at the amount of seriously attractive people (both male and female). The single ladies were definitely were not complaining about the eye candy! We had mixed drinks and shots, and it was pretty easy to order at the bar given the amount of people there that night. Music was loud enough to dance to, but you could also easily speak to the person next to you which was nice.
Overall, I highly recommend Lustre Pearl for day drinking or on a weekend night. It was super fun both times!
