What makes Denver sports bars special? Is it just the Broncos, or is there more to it than that?

It’s definitely the Broncos love, but it’s also the passion for all Colorado sports, the amazing craft beer scene, and those killer Rocky Mountain views!

Where can I find the biggest screens to watch the game? I want to feel like I'm at Mile High Stadium!

Head downtown or near Coors Field for the biggest and best screens. Some are absolutely massive!

Do you have outdoor seating so I can soak up the Colorado sunshine while watching the game?

Absolutely! Many Denver sports bars have patios where you can enjoy the sunshine and mountain views while cheering on your team.

How much should I expect to spend on food and drinks? Gotta budget for ski tickets, too!

You’ll find options for every budget! Expect to pay around $20−35 for an entree, $15−29 for a local craft beer, and $18−35 for a cocktail. Happy hour deals are key!

Can I legally bet on the Broncos game while I'm at the bar? Is sports betting legal in Denver?

Any recommendations for family-friendly sports bars where I can bring the kids? Gotta start 'em young!

Look for spots in the suburbs or near family-friendly attractions. They often have kids’ menus and a more relaxed atmosphere.

I'm heading to a huge Broncos playoff game viewing party! How early should I arrive to get a good spot?

For Broncos playoff games, you need to get there insanely early! I’m talking 3-4 hours before kickoff. Broncos Country is serious!

Besides downtown, what neighborhoods have awesome local sports bars? I want to avoid the super crowded areas!

Check out LoDo, RiNo, Highlands, or South Broadway for some great local spots with a more neighborhood vibe.

Can I reserve a table for my whole group? We get loud when the Avs are scoring!

It’s always a good idea to call ahead, especially with a large group. Some places take reservations, especially for big games and playoff matches.
