What User doesn't like about Lion's Lair:
I went to see a friend's band and this wasn't a bad place to see them. it's intimate enough that if you want to get up close to the stage it won't be a problem but it's big enough that if you want to find a corner and talk to someone, that won't be a problem either. they have a $10 minimum on c.cards and there weren't any drink specials to make you smile (a pint of PBR was 5 bucks) but the vibe was right. I'll be bac... View all feedback. What User likes about Lion's Lair:

Nice little venue for live shows with cheap drinks, the bathrooms are a horror show though.

Great place, my only thing is the amount of seats during a busy night.

Great downtown dive bar that hosts tons of local musicians. If you want to support local, visit Lion's Lair. Photos from set by Adrian Garcia on Feb 10, 2022.

Awesome little bar. If you come to Denver you got to check it out.

Fun place, drinks are very well priced and they hook it up too, no weak drinks. Went to see a band from back home but will be back for sure

Saw a burlesque show here. The bar tenders are super lovely and the vibe is definitely a local dive. Loved it.

Love this bar. It was my second time here, and both times, it's been fun. This night was a burlesque show that was well worth the $15 cover. I will definitely b...

What can I say? If you've been in Denver since 1966, you already know. If you can say no, then you need to change that! This bar is truly one of a kind, and not...

It's always a great time to catch live punk bands on the weekends or enjoy drinks any day of the week at this place.

Lion's Lair excels in both service and affordability, making it truly exceptional. However, it's not a place that will appeal to everyone. I discovered Lion's L...

This restaurant does a great job of supporting local rock 'n' roll bands, more so than many others.
