This map is a sample of some of my favorite values in and around denver.

Double Daughter’s Salotto is a unique experience from the moment your eyes take hold of the door, which looks like the entrance to the Wizard of Oz. This 12 foot-tall door is a little intimidating, but don’t worry - you’ll be able to open it.

Walking through the golden door feels like you’re going from Oz into one of Picasso’s dream. Growing in between the booths and in the corners of the bar are lit up trees wrapped in black linen. The trees draw your eyes up to the ceiling to see that there are white doves floating throughout the lounge, creating a creepy awning of birds and lights that belongs in a Tim Burton movie.

Once you’ve taken in the surroundings and settle down in one of the many booths that look like melting wax, you’re likely to notice the aroma of fresh dough and cheese. No, you’re not going crazy - you do smell pizza in this lounge. Double Daughter’s has same owner as Mario’s, which is next door, and that’s why you will find pizzas by the slice or pie on the drink menu.

Be sure to check out the top lounge, which has a great view of the entire bar and DJ, with a lot of space, but still a very private feeling.

Double Daughter’s has put in a lot of thought in decorating, and everything has meaning and a story to it, going back to the Italian legend of the Double Daughters, who were Siamese twins that loved to climb trees and briefly joined the circus. All of the fixtures from the doves in the trees to the axes in the banisters relates to the Daughters. You just have to ask if you want the whole ghost story.

Trist, no that cheap, but you might actually get in on a weekend. Plus the signiture drink is cheaper than most here.

The Shag Lounge is a newer bar located in an old building. The vibe is hip, with retro styling. The drinks are  well made and a bargain  compared to many  downtown bars.  On Sundays $1  PBR's (in the can) make this the spot on Sunday nights. The live Dj's keep the music flowing, if you want to dance, or just have a few drinks with friends, give this local hot spot a try.

Breakers is a fun bar/restaurant that sits right on the beach.  If you are lucky enough to grab a seat by the window, it overlooks the beach.  Great burgers!

Ladies drink free and $2 pitchers 9pm to 11pm on Wednesdays.

Breakers sits right on the ocean and is a great place to have drinks and a burger.  Best burgers on the beach.

I am trying to highlight some of the places I like in and around the souther suburbs of Denver.
