My Brothers Bar

Thursday March 8, 2007
My Brothers Bar - Katie's pick
15th & Platte, downtown Denver
Attendees: Ang, cc:IcePrincess, Jen, Joyhawk, Kris, Lara, Rhonda, Sparkle

According to the City of Denver, My Brothers Bar is the oldest bar in Denver still serving alcohol on the original site (photos on the wall prove that the place has barely changed since the '30s). My Brothers Bar was a famous haunt for such Beats as Kerouac and Cassady. Cool!

We staggered in and were seated in the back, along the banister. It was dim and noisy, just as one would expect. After sitting around enjoying beers for a half hour or so, we ordered our dinner from our friendly waitress, Rose. Being a busy Thursday night, we had plenty of time to slug down a few more beers while waiting for our meal to arrive.

Served in paper wrapping, our sandwiches arrived accompanied by plastic boxes that house the condiments. I had the Cajun Tuna Sandwich, and I believe IcePrincess did as well. From what I could tell, everyone else had burgers. As far as tuna goes, the sandwich was decent - I would have preferred more of a "cajun" flavor and I also prefer my tuna not quite as cooked as it was, but I love this bar and the atmosphere is great and that makes even a mediocre sandwich taste fab. Not that my sandwich was mediocre - my sandwich was good - I liked it - but it wasn't... perfect. We got two sides of onion rings and fries, which seemed to be just the amount for us eight girls. Both were tasty.

I really enjoyed our dinner downtown and give My Brothers Bar 9 out of 10 stars.

Dinnergirls Gone LIVE!

Welcome to our blog! We are eleven girls from the Denver area in search of great food and good times. We visit a new restaurant on the second Thursday of every month and have been doing so for over two years. We have tried everything from Ethiopian food (twice) to Vietnamese to Grilled Cheese for dinner. On several occasions we've gone to the park and sometimes we make dinner at someone's house. Sometimes eleven girls show up for dinner - other times there are only three. No matter where our dinner, we always have a good time. (Except for last month -- we had a bitchy waitress who I won't name here but she worked at FALLING ROCK TAPHOUSE in LoDo. The cute little gal at Swanky's made up for her though. Too bad their pool table sucks!)

We have decided to take our adventures online so read along and enjoy - we'd love to hear your comments and feedback!

xoxo,
The Denver Dinnergirls
