Visited from out of town and wanted to experience the local metal scene in Denver, of course this was at the top of the list. But honestly we were pretty bummed after our visit, we found the space incredibly underwhelming. The space felt too clean, almost too manicured for what I imagined to be a metal bar. There was so little art on the walls, even the bathrooms had signs that said no graffiti or stickers- which frankly is the complete opposite of any cool bar I've experienced. I believe that a bar space is obviously one that mirrors the community that lives there. To have no art, no presence, no local or touring band stickers or anything, is quite frankly a red flag and very odd. I found this place to be lacking community or connection, and borderline pretentious. It was a cold and empty space, both literally and metaphorically. The bartender felt disconnected and awkward, every interaction I had felt hurried and weird. Only stayed for one beer because it just felt meh. Huge bummer honestly. I hope that when I give this place another shot in the future, there is more presence that has been allowed to grow there.
