Gold Point

Set at Larimer and 31st, the interior stays dark, cozy, and loud enough for the music to matter, with a popular photo booth tucked inside. Behind the bar, creative recipes share space with shot-and-beer specials, shelving Japanese whiskies right beside American bourbons. Outside, the light-strung patio stretches far deeper than it appears from the street, enlivened in warm weather by a VW bus serving drinks Thursday through Saturday.
