;
1630 Market St; 11am-2am Mon-Fri, noon-2am Sat & Sun;
Market St)
This bar and grill is central to the Market St stumble, and is a cavernous space
that turns out passable Mexican food in brawny portions and pipes in big-screen sports
from every corner of the world. When the party goes off, winsome waitresses stomp along
the bar pouring tequila down patrons' throats under the glassy gaze of Hal, a giant stuffed
alligator.

& Brewery
( 303-534-7616;

; 1001 16th St; 11am-2am; Arapahoe)
Drinkers are met with
the gleaming stainless sheen of brew kettles as they enter this chain brewpub, perched on
the prime real estate of the 16th St Mall. It's outgrown ' micro ' status and is not so hot
compared to smaller craft brewers in the region, but the people-watching from the patio
makes for a pleasant afternoon.

;

It's tricky to find a
place on the Mall with a local feel, but plank floors, nightly local bands and kindly bar-
tenders give the employee-owned Appaloosa a unique environment.
