About this venue

Editor's Take: Candlelight Tavern is the kind of place they don't make anymore. Unchanged for decades, this neon-lit neighborhood dive bar is legendary for its 'burger and a beer' culture. Whether you're here for a high-stakes pool game or just a late-night wing basket, it's the heart and soul of South Pearl Street.

Candlelight Tavern is a classic, enduring neighborhood dive bar in Denver, renowned for its simple but effective tavern burgers, pool tables, and unpretentious atmosphere.
