I'm visiting Denver for a few days and wondering if theres any Brit pubs ? Seems theres allsorts of other pubs including the 'tilted kilt' a shooters type themed bar with scantily clad young ladies wearing mini kilts and not a lot else.

After some nasty experiences I avoid anything suggestive of a Brit Pub in the US.

The ones on the Costas weren't any better.

Plenty of brewpubs however..

I don't know what you are looking for in your Brit Pub, but like Boiler, I avoid them all-- nothing but overpriced beer, poor food and cheesy decor.

With that being said, there are quite a few to choose from in the Downtown area: Nallan's, Fados, Celtic Tavern, British Bulldog and Pint's Pub. Just out of the downtown area you have the Irish Snug, Streets of London and the Irish Rover. Out west in Lakewood there is the Baker Street.

Personally, if I go to a Brit/Irish bar then I only ever venture into Nallan's (14th and Market) these days. Happy Hour is 2-7. However, like Boiler, I much prefer the brewpubs-- Colorado is home to lots of great local beers!

A good few years ago now but I liked the Wynkoop Brewery while waiting for trains: http://www.wynkoop.com/ - serves some passable Brit-ish ales.

Given the construction going on at the Amtrak station across the street, I don't know what kind of atmosphere there is now!

Come round my house. It smells like a brewery from the other night. Ooo, my head.

Forget about themed Ye Olde Blighty Pub crap, Denver is God's own country when it comes to American microbrew. Here's a good list:

Check out the Falling Rock ( http://www.fallingrocktaphouse.com/ ) which has 80 taps. There's also a bunch of great brewpubs like Great Divide and Flying Dog.

Why would you go to Denver and look for a cheesy Brit lookalike pub?

That certainly describes out local Brit's Bar It even has a bowling green.
The Irish bars around here aren't bad though - The Local sells more Jamison's than anywhere else in the world.

The British Bulldog is the only authentic Brit pub as far as I know. Although I don't think it is still British owned, they open early for the footie. A bit of a dive but fun too. I was there for the St George's day celebration and had a good laugh.

Just looked at their web site, tell you to stop reading now if you do not know who the Arse are and then use Soccer?

And mention of Fullers on a hand pump?, impossible.

Aren't Fullers one of the guilty parties when it comes to exporting fake beer engines? Sure I read that somewhere...
