Pairadice — Restaurant in Denver

Living next door to Pairadice has turned out to be one of the best unintentional amenities of my apartment complex. Funny enough, I actually met some of my neighbors from the building at the bar—it’s that kind of place. You walk in and feel like you’re already part of something.

I celebrated my birthday here recently, and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Mike and Dave, the owners, are the chillest bar owners I’ve ever come across. They’ve created a space that feels welcoming, laid-back, and genuinely fun. You can tell they care about the people who come through the door, and that makes all the difference.

The ambiance is solid, but it’s the community that really makes Pairadice stand out. On Wednesdays, the bar is taken over by a friendly crew of chess players who’ve even taught me how to play.

Seeing how quickly the patrons standing directly next to me received service proved it was no accident. I immediately walked out; seeking no explanation for the obvious and egregious display of Passive racism! Needless you say,..I'm NEVER...

This place has a unique vibe and has a patio space that I look forward to seeing during the day at some point. Joel, behind the bar, made us feel welcome, and was timely in his service. They had TV's for me to catch my game before heading to the brewery around the corner. By the way, a great 1-2 punch if you just want to make your night this immediate area. I give them a 4 only because I had hopes for a pool table, but otherwise, we had a great visit, will recommend the place to others, and definitely...
