Mugsy's Bar

Looking to play a friendly game of Billiards for two, we stumbled across this windowless dive bar that is much likened to a 1970s biker heist flic establishment. And perhaps it was a microcosm of 1970s biker aggression based on our experience! To preface, it was FREE pool night (Tuesday), so no money was placed on a table. Upon entrance, both tables were occupied. One blue-collared man in particular was pummeling balls in the pockets with great celerity. I could sense his deteriorating home life and his temerity in his legal record from across the bar. After him usurping the pool table for 3-4 games, we put our names down to play a singular game, call it a night, and retreat home to recumbency. While waiting for this individual to finish, I took a modicum of solace with my $5 Avalanche beer while watching other customers chow down on McDonalds, food from a different establishment (but I don't make the rules). Finally, he finished yet another game and I walked over to play a game myself since my name was next on the list. With bravado speech that surely didn't match his stature or habitus, he reassured us that we could not play a single game of pool unless it involved him. "Has to be doubles or scotch doubles! I have the table for tonight!" He reassured us.... On free pool night. I thought he was kidding at first, but was sandbagged when he actually meant it. There was no way to wheedle him out of his aggression, so we played him and vamoosed. Only reason this is receiving two stars is because of friendly wait staff.

Denver, Colorado --"Mugsy's" is a "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite bar!Only been here twice, but the bartenders are customer-interactive, the customers are interactive, the "gangster" bar flair is unique & mostly, a great "positive-energy" atmosphere!!In addition, they have FREE Pool Tuesdays & the FREE music-bucket game ...day 284/bar 463 of "666 Bars of 2017" day 050 "DUSA 2017" (Discover USA) part 2 "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! #RunAwayBill #DUSA2017 #666BarsUSA #WorldsLongestBarCrawl 10.12.17

Exceptional dive bar. Bartenders are outstanding and very friendly. Btw don't confuse the closet door for the exit!

My absolute favorite dive bar in the area. Great group of regulars, great staff, and good heavy pouring on the cocktails. Laura is the absolute best bartender. Pre-covid, they regularly did bingo on Saturdays too. Restrooms need a lot of work. But hey, it's still a dive bar.

I love a good dive... and this is not a dive bar... it's a local bar. People bring in their own food, it's a full bar at noon, and the food that they do serve, is microwaved. It's a wonderful place. Prices are cheap, and everyone is really nice. It's not for me, I probably won't be back anytime soon... but who knows...

What a cool little hole in the wall bar. These are the places I search for, chill, relaxed, and friendly. Have a beer and just let the outside world slip by.

Last stop of our girls night out for a dirty 30. A hole in the wall bar, tucked in a tiny strip mall. I'd never even noticed this place before and live like 5 mins away. It's not a bad little place. The bartender was super nice and definitely puts up with patrons bullcrap pretty well! Drinks were cheap. Not too much else to say since this was our last stop and wasn't there too long. Might be back in the future!

I have been stopping in the last couple years here for the waitstaff I have had the pleasure of meeting, Laura, Jackie, & Kasie ALWAYS go above and beyond for service! Also a big fan of Free Pool Tuesdays, and $3 Fireball Wednesday's, also BINGO on Saturday's is a fun timeThe drawbacks and 3 Star Rating are the lack of "food" options; i.e. frozen pizza, white castle sliders, bags of Doritos, or Planters peanuts.....not enticing. I have been here and the clientele is a great mix of people I have met and some nights is a complete miss; as others have mentioned "DAVE" is abrasive & obnoxious with no regard for personal space yet gets a passWould love to give this place a bump to 4 Stars next visit with the right upgrade to food and specials; like I said the amazing ladies I have met to an AWESOME job and I hope with some adjustments the Management will follow

This is diamond in the rough. I couldn't be happier with this find. Seriously one of the best bars around in the area. Well priced drinks and it's really clean and lovely. The staff is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Laura just chatted us up and we had the best time playing pool and hanging at the bar. Give this place your business and you won't be disappointed.

Mugsy's Bar's slogan is "Burgers, Pizza and Pool." This little place is tiny, but honestly, this is where I would go if I don't want people to know where I am. This is my secret Bar, where nobody can find me, and nobody can judge me. Mugsy's was featured on an issue of Westword's, which is pretty damn impressive. Their burgers are thick and juicy and very desirable. They have two long pool tables, next to an open bar with friendly bartender's and lots of seating areas. There are no vegan options, so this isn't my primary bar to take a vegan friend, but lets be real: Most bars don't offer such an option. Overall, it's good to eat meat. Because Mugsy's offers some of the biggest burger sizes.
