Sputnik

Denver


The Sputnik does it all – it’s simultaneously a plucky brunch spot, a neighborhood dive bar and an excellent place for espresso. Still, it’s never more fun than when there’s a show next door at the Hi-Dive and the indie rockers spill over for strong pours and a seat in the old-school photo booth.

If spending a long night of drinks, snacks and rock and roll still isn’t enough for you, the long-running ‘Hangover Brunch’ does it right, with spicy Bloody Marys and lots of ragged morning-after style.
