The nightlife scene isn't just for young people anymore. In cities across America, bars are dedicating themselves to serving an older, more professional clientele. That holds true in Denver, which features plenty of bars for the over-40 crowd.
Established in 1934, Bonnie Brae Tavern aims to preserve its historic, classic atmosphere with a rustic, wood interior that appeals to a more mature crowd. In addition to beer, wine and spirits, Bonnie Brae Tavern also features a full menu. Dine on appetizers, such as chicken strips or mozzarella sticks, or check out the ribeye steak or a green burrito with chili and cheese.
