Description
The Recovery Room catered mostly, as its name implied, to the many employees of the ever-disintegrating CU Med Center location across the street. When Leigh Jones -- of Horseshoe Lounge and Jonesy's fame -- bought the place, she overhauled it. Completely. Now on Colorado Boulevard stands the Bar Car, a welcome addition to the East Denver scene. The dark, rustic interior -- with wisps of an old-timey railroad theme -- is surprising after stepping through the nondescript front. On a street known for chains, it's all defiantly 'hood-focused, from the well-curated draft list heavy on locals to its daily happy hour. The crowd follows suit, with a wide gamut stopping by after work to check the score of the game or for a late-night soaking up of the warm surroundings. Plus, what other bar boasts as a decoration a naked picture of Burt Reynolds?
