The Thin Man

Cool little local bar in the middle of the Denver downtown neighborhood. The drink menu and beer selection were great, and the server/bartender was awesome. Nice ambiance and loved the decor. Being a non practicing Catholic, it brought a lot of humor and felt no guilt drinking in front of hundreds of crosses. Few bar patrons were annoying thinking they owned a corner or the bar but no fault of the establishment and just some rude folk. Overall a great place for a cocktail and beer.

Love the vibe. Love the Christmas lights and the red Christmas lights. Definitely a vibe. Inside is cozy and romantic. Good music.

This is our new favorite bar in Denver! The ambiance is so cool, drinks are delicious and a good price, and the staff is all super friendly. Nicole is the sweetest and she makes excellent drinks.

The Thin Man is one of Denver's best cozy, offbeat bars - with dim red lighting and eclectic decor that gives it a lot of character. Their infused vodka shots—especially the jalapeño—are a highlight, and they make a solid martini. The crowd is often diverse, and it’s a great spot for casual conversation, particularly if you want to go somewhere solo. Service can be a little slow during peak times, but that’s just a byproduct of how fun and laid-back the environment is. Five stars for the unique vibe, great drinks, and memorable atmosphere!

Coffee, cocktails, atmosphere all in one place till late at night. If you have the chance to meet Eric, do so, he knows his bar perfectly and they have a very well curated one with outstanding Mezcal, Tequila and Sotol.

I haven’t been here yet - I would like to but considering that the coffee shop next door literally has their roof collapsing and the barista said oh roofs had a leak for years - the mold is likely affecting this place next door too. Anyone working here know when the building owner is actually going to fix a serious health liability? I

One of my favorite bars in Denver! They have the best espresso martinis and homemade vodkas with various flavors.

Interesting decor, contemporary mixed with religious iconography. I like it. Excellent cocktail and beer options. Staff is always on top of it.

Very unique bar with a fun ambiance. There's so much to look at when you're enjoying a delicious cocktail at Thin Man. Fun and interesting decor all throughout the perfectly dim lit bar. Bartenders are kind, attentive, and make very good cocktails. Did you know an espresso martini with THREE coffee beans is good luck? Yes, me neither. I love stopping in here in the afternoon with friends after walking around Denver botanic gardens, only a couple streets away.

Such a fun spot! Super glad we went and checked it out. Both the customers and bartender were so friendly. They had their own infused vodkas which we were allowed to sample. 10/10 recommend

Favorite bar in Denver. The martinis are an amazing deal and some of the best martinis I've ever had. The music and vibe is just unmatched - I don't even know why I just think cool people run this place and cool people come to this place. There is a somewhat rude bartender which is the only negative about this spot. Otherwise 10/10 and I have to give it 5 stars regardless of the rude bartender because it's such a vibey spot.

A charming nonchalant vibe full of capable staff who can craft nearly any cocktail your heart desires. The red lighting is both alluring and flattering. Imbibe, relax, and take in the people watching. Cheers.

Awesome atmosphere 10/10 service love this place! My girlfriend and I found the spicy Jesus margarita delicious!

This place charges you a $60 fee to start a tab. It's cool in the inside and has great drinks but when I called about getting the $60 refunded they were really rude to me. It has almost been a week and I'm still out $60 when I only spent $24 on a few martinis.. I guess just don't start a tab and close o ur after every drink.

Do Not Visit! This place is awful! Visited this spot for the 2nd time to give it a chance... Bartender was outside smoking and therefore not available for 20 minutes and when he returned was super rude and disinterested. They didn't have multiple basic ingredients including limes (yes, I'm serious) and they're drinks are plain and overpriced. Will never be back and encourage everyone to not give them business

Oh, yeah! A local spot that was open beyond 10pm! HOORAY!!!! Our bartender was a wonderful lady that was busy, yet didn't miss a beat. There was great beer, local beer, options to enjoy. They had several "pickle shots", which my lady loved. The ambiance was interesting. I loved the Jesus, but I prefer him off the cross, then on! Either way, come and enjoy some local fun.

I love the weird vibe inside. I had a regular mule but the real star for me was their homemade lemonade (in my case, vodka lemonade). The bartender was really nice and non-pretentious. I would go back

New Year's Eve at the Thin Man as an incredible annual event. If you have never been, go. Each year has a new theme.. Extemely creative.. Great fun, gret drinks, great music. Great times.

This place is the best place ever i love going there and I ilthink im going to have my birthday there. Great food!!!

A bar where Jesus is watching you. I am seriously not mad about it. My husband and I stopped in for a few drinks to start our evening. Our bartender was nice and knowledgeable. We ordered chips and salsa and was a nice filler. They have a variety of infused drinks. My husband tried a shot of the pickle vodka. He was not a fan but he enjoyed the idea. Overall a cool little bar with patio area in front and back..

Really cool little dive bar. Lots of religious memorabilia, some of it funny but all of it interesting. They make a mean dirty martini with a special jalapeño infused vodka. Spicy but delicious! I would go back just for the five, but the drinks were on point, so I'll be back for sure.

Fantastic old school neighborhood bar! The staff was great, the drinks were bombastic! The crowd was local, loud and fun! Adding this to my list of go to bars!

The decor was fun and the drinks were good! Super small space though and was loud and very crowded.

Love love love the infused shots. Excellent reviews from friends about the very casually made paninis too.

What a fun place!!!!! It was pretty quiet around happy hour then all the cool people started showing up around 8! Definitely an "it" place. Drinks were affordable and paninis for $7,50 on the menu. Will TOTALLY be back real soon!!

My neighborhood hang. Great spot to kick it after a bad or a good day. Keep it up ya'll.

Indoor and outdoor seating available. The hummus plate was good, lacking a little flavor but the pressed bread had good flavor. I love the ambiance.

The THIN MAN and ST. MARKS combo is the best there is in Denver for a go to local saloon and cafe. I drive well out of my way to go to both.

Really enjoyed the ambiance. The hot wine was delicious. Good neighborhood bar to go to for a chill time

Awesome local spot in City Park West neighborhood. Visiting Denver for a few months and our AirBnb is a block away so this has been a go to spot for happy hour drinks and even a night out on the weekend! Great indoor area with bar stools and some tables in addition to outdoor space in front and out back. Drinks are reasonably priced. Crowd definitely picks up on the weekend nights.

Glad to see Thin Man up and running during this covid time. For a weeknight there was a good amount of people sitting socially distanced on both the front and back patios. The owner has installed ceiling fans to help with ventilation and hung window panes over the bar to help keep distance from the bartenders. We thought the windows were an awesome and creative solution. Also 3 nativity scene figures were seated on bar seats to help indicate where not to be. They were both comical and practical! I thought the bar was really clean, friendly staff, and just a great place to get a drink and chit chat.

I really like this place. Cool vibe, nice bar, and food was actually great. Friendly service too.

Pineapple jalapeño infused tequila with soda water. Shut. It. Down. It's a Saturday night and Thin Man is poppin. The vibe is edgy and vibrant. Our mixed crowd of couples and single friends lit up when we saw the array of mixed drinks in cantinas behind the bar. Strangers became friends quickly. From the bar to the bathroom lines, people wanted to connect. The best part of the venue is their backyard. String lights add to the cozy atmosphere.

Cute chill place with a nice back patio and great beer selection. Would def recommend!

I feel incredibly old saying this but Thin Man was the place to be back in the day. Ever since my move to Denver some years ago, this place was my go to for Friday happy hours and Saturdays with friends! It's a simple bar that's not pretentious and trying to be "new" Denver. It's affordable and a nice place to chill without the hubbub.

Was a big fan of the jalapeno tequila however the spiced wine tasted like warm Capt'n Crunch with Crunch Berries. Even though we got seats at the bar it was quite annoying having people standing at our backs and reaching over to order drinks and pay tabs. There is some seating area outside as well which offers more space but you still have to keep coming inside to order and then reaching over someone else sitting at the bar.

Horrible bartender. Brought close to 25 coworkers in for an after party of our company bbq. Not only was the bartender angry about the high volume situation, she was extremely disrespectful towards me & refused service after my husband was called on vaping inside the bar 45 minute earlier. A significant argument ensued & I chose to leave, & on the way out was screamed at to "GTFO". I understand the position of securing the your restaurant & liquor license. But this became very personal. The bartender was NOT thrilled with a late night crowd. & made it a significant problem. Would not recommend for groups larger than 5. Because they clearly can't handle stress. ‍

I heart thin man-- it's a lovely space w/ wonderful staff n the yummiest dirty martini!!!!

Cool bar with solid drink options (good beer selection plus infused vodkas). Jesus art everywhere. Paper lanterns. Red lighting. Weird but I dig it. Friendly staff. Outdoor patio area.

Came to this place randomly as I found it on yelp nearby. It doesn't smell too pleasant and the drinks were not really good. The infused shots smell good but don't taste good. The bartender was nice and friendly though.

This is the classic old American bar. We had a great bartender making reasonable priced drinks with good music in background.

If you're looking for an accurate cross section of the worst Denver has to offer, this is your place. Zero grit, zero personality, zero integrity and ALL the confidence. A bar for those whose moms think they're perfect and gifted and special. Don't forget your vax card, though. You rebels, you. Oh, and the service was terrible. Glad I wasn't paying.

I lovingly refer to this place as one step up from a dive bar. Amazing service even when vibes are extremely high at 1am. Attracts an eclectic crowd. Love that it's in the City Park West neighborhood.

This is one of the weirdest bars I've ever been to, but it was great. Interesting drink choices. Jesus is everywhere. Ambiance is confusing. Music was on point. Will definitely hang out here again.

The Thin Man is a great vibe. Super simple bar, not very big (be prepared to wait for a seat to open up), random Jesus decor, all washed in red lights -- it's a vibe. They have homemade infused vodkas which are delicious, plus a long menu of cocktails, spirits, and beer. Plenty of local beers on tap. It's a great place to post up and have a conversation with friends or go on a date (though it's definitely a little loud for that). It's an intimate place with moderate prices and a very distinct look. I appreciate that they're requiring vax cards upon entry, too. Love it!

I see this bar as a relaxed place. Relaxing. Shares a patio with St Mark's, who are also open at night. Sometimes i arrive and then decide if I'm in the mood for tea or tequila (I think one could theoretically even mix the two on the patio they share). Jesus is the only prominent decorative theme here in a way that is neither religious nor sacrilegious. Great selection of tequila and whiskey, and prices are quite reasonable. I think the servers are great. The place does get a bit busy on the weekends, like any decent bar, which makes people like me who are usually there at 5 on a Tuesday wonder why all these people are in my way. Plenty of beer on tap, including Surly which would be a treat for people familiar with MN beer. Parking is fairly easy on the streets, and it's right by Vine St Brewery.

Looking for an hip hole in the wall bar in Uptown? Look no further, The Thin Man is your Bar!! It is definitely a funky spot, to see what I mean, check out my picture. Not to mention, they infuse their own liquor and have many unique flavors. Any bar that infuses their own booze gets a thumbs up from me! Still not sure this spot is for you? Check it out for yourself!

Dive bar level 1000. Super interesting decor with a little patio but otherwise, not much to offer. No craft cocktails and a crowd of "regulars" the dress in PJs and the like. Won't come back but it's partly because I don't drink beer and thats about the only safe bet at a place like this.

This place is cool, without even trying. i wish i could be like that! With their open windows, cutesey decor, fun bartenders and DELISH sangria, it's a no brainer as to why everyone loves this little neighborhood bar,...even more so in the summer! it's perfect little patio and summer inspired drinks make this place a yelper favorite :)

I live in the neighborhood and have been going to this bar for years. The new older white bald bartender is a ass and rude! Served me a flat beer. Tasted horrible. I told him and he butcher and moaned about nobody else complaining and they don't give out free beer. He then gave me a different beer. But charged me for the bad beer that was not drank! No tip for him. How can they keep this jerk on. Going g to loose a lot of business! I see I'm not the only one who had had a negative experience with him. Won't be back. Spend my money at a place that cares about serving drinks and nice to people!

Just so much JESUS! He peers into your soul from every corner of this place as you sip your drink. Is Jesus The Thin Man?! Drink more infused vodka and maybe you'll know! This funky bar draws quite the crowd on weekend nights, and it's almost impossible to get to the bar and order a drink or even find a place to stand. Conversation is near impossible when this place is crowded. For these reasons, I suggest going during the week and maybe on the early side. Maybe I'm lame, but I like to actually be able to order a drink without throwing elbows, and I like talking to my friends. Their infused vodka is as good as everyone says it is! I like the pineapple best! The options abound for those with tamer tastes as well as those with adventurous palates. Drink. Enjoy. Just know that He's watching!

I did feel a little off whenever I came in, was it all of the Jesus photos and knick knacks? Was it the bartenders that were staring but did not ask if we wanted anything? This place was pretty crowded on a Saturday night. Street parking available, limited tables and chairs to sit, small space to stand. Drinks were okay. Service could've been better. Interior was nicely decorated though

The Thin Man reminds me of my first few years in Denver. And for that reason, it holds a very nostalgic and boozy space in my heart. What hooked me? Of course, initially it was the good company and the overall vibes of the place. I just felt trendy being there as a 21 year old. And now, I know why. There are varying options of homemade infused vodkas behind the bar, specials always written on a chalkboard (if they have spiced or mulled wine written down, just do it), and a decent wine/beer selection. The selection is okay, but the price point is worth it. Better than a dive bar, but not much more expensive. I love the decor--market/Xmas style lighting overhead and art with a kitschy religious theme on the walls. If it gets busy, you'll be crammed in, but you'll be happy. For some reason, I don't mind waiting for a drink, plus the staff is friendly. Not necessarily attentive, but friendly. Do I love the smoking on the back patio? No, but for that reason, I avoid it. Just go. Be happy. Enjoy yourselves--and the funky, quirky decor.

I've seen a few reviews here docking the rating because the staff was less than cordial. Those people must be devoid of life or charm because I found the staff to be more than accommodating. The prices were fair and the selection was vast. The crowd was also nice and easygoing. Really, what's to dislike?

A really great bar with some interesting offerings in the alcoholic beverage department. I tried the jalapeno flavored vodka in a Bloody Mary and it did not disappoint. Of course they have all your regulars, beer and wine, but it was the exotic alcohols from all over the world that peaked my interest. The decor is interesting, as you'll read in other reviews. For those seeking a different kind of bar in Denver, look no further. I would go here again with friends or even a date.

For many years my friends have gathered here. I don't understand why. The staff is unfriendly and slow. I waited at the bar, front in line, for 10 minutes while three bartenders washed glasses, socialized, flirted, and completely ignored me, even serving customers who only just arrived. It's unacceptable. I don't know what I did, maybe I wasn't fake enough, or loud enough, or demanding enough, or cute enough, but it felt entirely personal. So, I walked away and sat on the patio for three hours and socialized with my friends, drinking and paying for nothing. Another person in my group was mocked by the mousy female bartender for not keeping a tab open and cashing out. Disappointing. I won't go back.

This place has become a complete dump during the Covid. The owner has done a really poor job of even attempting to keep it clean. It's scary how filthy the place is and how irresponsible the owner is! Hopefully this place goes out of business.
