Barfly

"yeah, like a spider needs a fly"

Inspired by the film penned by Charles Bukowski, BarFly is dedicated to Denver’s storied literary past. With an interior theme featuring portraits of Beat writers and luminaries along with an array of vintage typewriters, BarFly is a go-to destination all its own for pre-movie meetups, post-movie pontifications and anytime easy-drinking ambiance.

A fireplace with a decorative white mantle is crackling a fire. Faced just slightly away is a brown-haired guy reading a book and sitting in an armchair. Next to him is a small table with his drink in a funnel glass, a menu, and several Trivia Pursuit cards clipped on a metal holder.
