Meadowlark Bar

I love the Meadowlark in the Ballpark/RINO/Curtis Park neighborhood. I am biased because it is just blocks from my house, but take that away, and it’s still a great little hole in the wall… err… ground.

Located at 27th and Larimer, look for the plaque in the brick wall and the stairs heading down - you’ve found it. Open everyday from 4 pm to 2 am - even if you are the only ones in the joint they’ll keep it going for you. Last night we headed over for a few drinks out of boredom and - as always - it was great. When you first enter the bar you find what you most likely didn’t expect. Rather than a dingy dark hole, it’s actually has a great ambience with laquered wood bars, and an industrial feel. Stumble in on most weekday nights and you’ll also find live music or DJ’s on stage. In need of a quieter evening? Head out the back stairs and sit on the patio with a bucket of beer.

Other favorite features: bar tenders that don’t really know what they’re doing, so you get way too much booze in your drink (for a great price) after instructing them on how to make the perfect margarita just how you like it.
