Three "Must Visit" Bars That Are in Denver

• Yacht Club

Yacht Club Bar at 3701 Williams Street, prides itself on being "an anti-club club"

 .. a nerdy cocktail bar, a natural wine bar, and your favorite dive bar all in one. We believe in accessibility to deliciousness and that a good time shouldn’t be unattainable, but rather had by all.

The Spirited Awards noted Yacht Club as not only having the Best Bar Team in the western U.S., but also as having the Best Cocktail Bar in the western U.S. If anything, I need to see that bar, now.

• Hey Kiddo & OK Yeah

Hey Kiddo & OK Yeah, together at 4337 Tennyson, were both honored as being Best New Cocktail Bar in the Western U.S. With OK Yeah, only open Wednesday through Saturday: anyplace that's "behind," or "in the back of" another place, is a "must" in my book.

On the bright side, you only have to stop twice to visit all three of these Best bars in Denver.
