Bogey's Sports Bar

About

On a football Saturday in the fall, this is the bar on West Riverside where the game is on everywhere, from the rooftop deck to the patio. It's next door to Snowy Peaks Winery and a short walk from downtown, with the Big Thompson running past. Screens cover football, March Madness, baseball and hockey.

The menu is concession stand on purpose: hot dogs, burgers, the Bogey's Double, loaded tots, fries and an elk jalapeño cheddar brat. The hot dog is the order that keeps coming up, with the brat a close second. Draft beer and cocktails come from a full bar, and they come out fast.

Live music turns up in summer. Dogs can sit on the patio. The bathrooms are clean, which people notice more than you'd expect, and the whole place has a hometown pub feel even when half the room is visiting. It also keeps one of the later kitchens near downtown.
