THE OWL SALOON

Colfax Avenue, a name that resonates throughout Colorado and beyond, stands as a true emblem of Denver's vibrant character. Once hailed by Hugh Hefner in the 1970s as the "Longest, Wickedest Street in America," Colfax Avenue continues to embody its storied legacy. Stretching 26.1 miles, this iconic road holds a world within its bounds, catering to the rich, the humble, and all that lies in between. As Eazy eloquently put it on The Denver Public Library website, this avenue offers an extraordinary tapestry of experiences that truly has something for everyone.

Yet, amid Colfax's kaleidoscope of colors and flavors, one essential facet was missing – a heartfelt tribute to Colorado's cherished mountain saloons. You know the kind – the cozy woody interiors, the mountain dog donning a bandana eagerly waiting by a jeep parked just outside, the rustic charm of a log cabin infused with the nostalgia of an old country store. Dollar bills and hats suspended from the ceiling, and a cast of stuffed wildlife adorning every corner. These mountain saloons are sanctuaries of comfort, welcoming road-tripping families, bikers, and local mountain dwellers alike. Here, the laughter flows as freely as the beer, and conversations weave the fabric of camaraderie.
