Phil and Erika Zierke opened up an instant classic when they invited guests into the Englewood Grand in March 2016. As the bar grew in popularity, the bare-bones joint received a few upgrades: a neon sign above the door, some new patio furniture.
The best thing about going to a bar is that you never know what might happen there. Sometimes you belly up and banter with the bartender, who eventually becomes a pal. Other times you overhear hilarious or harrowing tales from strangers as you swill cold pints of beer. Often, you unexpectedly run into an old friend , or discover that the person sitting next to you is the spouse of your former college professor. Denver is still a small town, after all.
Sure, a finely crafted cocktail in a swanky atmosphere is nice, and there’s nothing better than a perfectly imperfect dive with drinks that are as strong as they are cheap. But going out to imbibe is about creating memories , and these are the places where we want to keep making memories for years to come. Community remains a focal point here, so you’ll often stumble into fundraisers or groups of health-care workers from the nearby Swedish Hospital complex.
