The Dirty Duck Bar

It's alright. Dive bar, decent amount of parking and a few pool tables. Bartenders are hit or miss, some are friendly and some ignore you unless you're a regular of theirs! Not much cheaper than a nice bar, but maybe $3 less for a normal double.

It's a dive bar in Denver. Ducks are the theme decor. This place was listed on the 2022-2023 best bars in Denver from Westword. It's worth a stop in. They have a food truck outside and snacks and a little bit of bar food inside. This is a place to play pool, watch a game, and people watch. It's fun! Bartender is great at being pithy and was attentive to those who needed a drink.

A most glorious dive bar. Great place to catch up with old friends over pitchers of cold beer. Cash is highly encouraged, but not required.

The wife and I walked in and up to the bar, the bartender said a surprised hello, it had been a few months since he'd seen us. "Double tall whisky sodas?" he asks, confirming our usual drink. We squinted and pulled our mouths into tight smiles, "No," we said, "just singles. We want to take it easy and just give our dog another hour before we pick him up from daycare down the street." He takes two pint glasses from the stack, fills them with ice, grabs a bottle of our usual whisky, and as he pours he looks us straight in the eyes never breaking eye contact. "Oh no....I accidentally poured doubles..." he said as he made us our usual drink and we broke out in laughter. And don't worry, he did not over-serve, and didn't do anything we were not perfectly fine with - that's just how this place is. You're a friend at the Duck. Their love language is being a little sh*t, sometimes, and aren't we all like that from time to time? The staff is always welcoming and friendly - no matter who it is. Everyone's funny and friendly and treats you like they've known you forever. It's got a super diverse crowd - you'll find old guys who started drinking at noon, random bikers, and corporate happy hours. It's a wonderful melange of humanity. The food truck that's out front half the time is a cornucopia of fried delights, and they've got a claw machine filled with - you guess it - rubber ducks.We're suckers for dive bars, and The Dirty Duck delivers in every way. So the next time you might be passing by, do what my wife and I do, turn your head, find a wry smile, and ask "Do you wanna Duck it?" and then answer yes. Because that's what you should do.

Love the Dirty Duck, especially on a holiday as they are always open. Well deserving bar on Westword's 100 Bar List. Drinks are strong and the regulars are plentiful. Meghan is an amazing bartender and makes you feel like you are drinking at her home. Touchtunes is always playing to add to the good time vibe.

This place is a must visit. Nothing special but is a stop as an old school bar. Bar tender was very nice and the nostalgia era is a vibe. Check it out. It's pretty cool

The Dirty Duck Bar is the epitome of a lively dive bar experience. Visited on a bustling Friday night when the Rockies opened their season with a walk off win, the music was so loud that those with hearing loss will hear it and those without loss will experience it after a few hours here. The presence of a Cajun food truck outside offered a delightful culinary surprise, with the red beans and rice earning high praise. Amidst the friendly ambiance, complete with pool tables and multiple TVs, the Duck exudes a dive bar/ sports bar vibe. Service primarily revolves around bar-side ordering. Overall, it's a spot where the energy is infectious, though some will find it not to their liking I suspect.

I've driven by The Dirty Duck probably hundreds of times but never though of stepping in until we were talking about it at a different bar and someone yelled "you have to get a duck!" We were intrigued and decided to go check it out. Let's just say our bar hopping stopped and we finished the night there!The drinks are affordable, the bar is divey, and there's a claw machine with a bunch of ducks in there that are actually easy to get! Go check it out!

Fun great little bar! You won't be disappointed. Bartenders are so cool. Pitchers beer $ 11.00

Ebbs and flows. Loved this place for awhile. We definitely called this our spot, even took our wedding party there the night before getting married. Pool is fun, and the people who come to play are nice and willing to share the table. Eddie is by far the best bartender (he is an AWESOME dude). If you ever come in and get Garrett as your bartender.. well, don't expect any quality of service lol. Horrible hospitality from Garrett. But if he isn't working you'll receive good service. They don't have an ATM to get cash for pool. And don't dare ask for change.. Garrett will be sure to let you know they won't help by blatantly ignoring your request and moving to the next person in line. Overall, use to love this place.. but Doctor Proctors down the street is a great option when Garrett is working!
