Description
Stingray Lounge is another project by Leigh Jones and Margaret Moore, the duo behind Jonesy's EatBar, the Horseshoe Lounge and Bar Car. This strip-mall spot may buck the duo's trend of reviving old neighborhood storefronts -- the partners say they landed an excellent deal on the space -- but it doesn't skimp on bar-room ambience. The massive bar is front and center, a blond-wood monstrosity with car-seat stools, flanked by red vinyl booths and low tables under bulbous lights and drag-racing imagery. A kick-ass jukebox provides a varied list of tunes, played at the perfect volume to drown out the conversations of your neighbors. Stingray pours good beer, a rotating list of Colorado craft brews, served unceremoniously by the bartenders, who are charmingly surly and (mostly) women. And while Stingray is a bar, first and foremost, the partners have put together a worthwhile list of bar snacks and pizzas, perfected at the Horseshoe Lounge and then imported here, to complement the beer list.
