After seeing The Nest, you might be seeking out a new go-to hangout of your own. And maybe a drink or two. Allow us to help. Bring your ticket stub to one of the four neighborhood bars below, and your bartender will transform any hour into happy hour.  Have some good grub, good drinks and good conversation with the regulars. We can only hope your night doesn’t end with a face full of fries. (Those of you who have seen the play will know what we mean. And those of you who have not – you only have until Sunday. The Nest closes on Feb. 21).   

CANDLELIGHT TAVERN
383 S. Pearl Street, Denver, 80209
The place to be for games, whether you want to cheer on your favorite team or challenge your friends to darts, Jenga or a game of shuffleboard. There’s even a jukebox, but unlike The Nest, this one works. Featuring drink specials every day, there’s never a bad time to head over to Candlelight Tavern. They’re keeping the dive bar alive and well. Check them out on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter @CandlelightTav.
