Lion's Lair is Denver's iconic grungy dive bar with a storied history stretching back to the 1930s when it was the Playboy Club, later known as the Aladdin Lounge, until Jim Lyons took over in 1976. Located on East Colfax at 2022 E. Colfax Ave, this basement-level venue with its low ceilings gives live music an intimate, up-close-and-personal feel that keeps crowds coming back. The bar is beloved for budget drinks, a lively crowd, and dedicated bartenders who know your name. Live music Thursday through Sunday nights, Open Mic Comedy Monday nights, Coverboy on second Tuesdays, and karaoke Wednesday nights. They're strictly 21 and over for all events. Happy hour daily 3 PM-8 PM. Open 6 PM-2 AM Monday-Wednesday, 3 PM-2 AM Thursday-Sunday.
