Denver Bars and Clubs - Denver College Bars


With the University of Colorado at Denver, the University of Denver and Metro State Denver, all in one city, and a whole neighborhood dubbed University just south of downtown Denver, Denver has a collegiate heart. With at least 44,000 full time students, many of which study hard and party even harder, Denver is also home to many full time Denver college bars whose cheap beer, cheap drinks and cheap bar food keep the college set fueled up on pure carbs. The Giggling Grizzly and Stadium Inn are two of Denver’s most popular college bars. For students at the University of Colorado at Boulder, just a half an hour away from downtown Denver, Denver college bars offer a varied escape from Boulder’s college bar scene.

The Border Restaurant

2014 S. University Blvd., Denver, Colorado; Tel. 303.722.9880
With pool tables, dart machines, backwards baseball caps and scantily clad hottie coeds, The Border Restaurant stakes its claim as Denver's college bar for university types getting their nightly "study break" bender on. Around 10pm at this Denver bar, The Border Restaurant becomes standing room only, but the queue for a drink isn't that long thanks to some fast and furious booze slingers. The drinks of choice for this young and rambunctious crowd are your standard domestic taps brews and the ice-cold shots from the Jaegerator while the greasy spoon style bar fare at The Border Restaurant takes supreme care of their hunger pangs.

Giggling Grizzly

1320 20th St., Denver, Colorado; Tel. 303.297.8300
One of the best Denver bar parties, completely infused with hottie coeds and boozed up hounds, happens nightly at the Giggling Grizzly. Located near Coors Field and absolutely jam packed on game days, the Giggling Grizzly takes care of your wallet and your liver with nightly drink specials and a freakin' rocking happy hour. Boasting the cheapest drinks around for their college aged crowd, this Denver bar also sports an excellent bar grub menu that offers huge portions of all your favorites to the beat of some classic rock and mainstream DJ nights.

Stadium Inn

1701 E. Evans Ave., Denver, Colorado; Tel. 303.733.4031
This venerable college bar in Denver is home to a rollicking array of partiers from the University and regular boozers from the neighborhood. The Stadium Inn has some serious longevity and each year a new crop of regulars is inducted into this Denver college bar's ranks from the incoming class. Daily drink specials that aren't really needed due to the Stadium Inn's cheaper than a smorgasbord of Ramen prices vie for favoritism with the nightly heated pool tournaments and genial liver destroying.
