In a van.... down by the river
Have any of you Denverites been to one of these here Cherry Cricket Restaurants?
The menu looks pretty to the point, “what kind of a burger/sandwich are you having?”
Is it a trendy thing like Snooze?
I rarely ever go out for a burger, but if there is a great one to be had…

The OG CC was a pretty highly regarded dive bar back in the day. That said, I ain't never been. :D

I've been to the OG location in Cherry Creek and the burgers are okay. One of the best burgers I've had in the Denver area is CityGrille but according to the Yelps this particular restaurante de hamburgesa esta cerrado as fuck.

Hardly a dive bar, but I suppose that's just a matter of opinion maaaaaan. I always got more of a "college bar" sort of vibe from the Cherry Cricket. I mean... it's in Cherry-Fucking-Creek for @FSM's sake. FWIW, IMNSHO the ne plus ultra what a "dive bar" is are joints like Don's Mixed Drinks, Lion's Lair, PS Lounge, etc. Anything with a proper door on the pisser, no trough in the men's toilet, and will definitely have things like glasses and ice all night long... are just not dive bars.

Never been to Bob's Atomic on 13th/Ford?
Solid burgers, there.

Oh shit, and how could I have forgotten about the beloved BAR BAR?! I think it actually has a name, but the 2-sided sign above the door says "bar" on each side so it's just called the BAR BAR. Ended more than a couple Wednesday nights there after the Denver Cruiser Ride. That place is (or at least was) a true shithole in every sense of the word and smelled like piss, cigarettes, and despair soaked in warm, flat American beer.







*Turns out yes, it does have an actual name: Carioca Cafe.

@Nick, back around July 3-4, and again 20-22 (But the Canuck and I are scheming something up high, maybe Elbert, maybe something easier). Probably a ride in/Near B.V. If we don’t go 14-er-ing.
Teh Spousal Unit™ and I are planning on doing something real stupid on July 4th. You’re welcome to join.

*also I like big dumb rides (about to go do one momentarily)

@rideit we'd (I'd) been trying to plot a CO group ride down Pikes Peak, but @Pesqueeb keeps putting up roadblocks like needing to pay more and have a reservation to drive up the stupid toll road. This one, to avoid Barr trail nonsense:
