Part of the Gay Denver Guide — bars, events & things to do.
Denver, Colorado
One of Denver's oldest gay bars, a classic East Colfax dive.
R&R is Denver's oldest gay bar — Colorado's longest continuously running, by its own well-documented claim — on East Colfax in the Hale neighborhood. The address has poured drinks since the 1950s, when it operated as the Coral Lounge, an incognito "mixed" bar of the kind that quietly served gay Denverites before anyone said so out loud. It took the R&R name in the 1970s, for owners Roger and Richard, and came out as a rainbow-on-the-door gay bar in that same decade. Today it's a classic neighborhood dive: pool, darts, sports on the screens, and a multigenerational mix of locals who treat it as their living room rather than a destination. It's not where you go to dance — it's where you go to drink cheap, talk, and tap into a piece of Denver's queer history that's still very much open.
