As mentioned in the bar resource Old School Denver, Colfax Ave – the old Highway 40 running east-west through Denver – still boasts a number of great old watering holes and bunk houses.
Not mentioned on that site is the PS Lounge, a time warp of black Naugahyde booths and excellently dark decor. On a snowy night during the Vancouver winter Olympics, we stumbled in because the steak house across the street was closed. Our order of two bourbon and diet cokes were delivered with two complimentary alabama slammers and a complimentary rose “for the lady” (me, I guess). The men’s figure skating free program was on the TV, and the half-dozen patrons/staff joined in critiquing the skaters. Really, a neighbourhood bar doesn’t get any better. Throw on a little Vic Damone and forget the world outside.
