Mountain Sun, Vine Street Pub

I've been to Vine Street several times before and I thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere. The downside--the pub only serves beer and only accepts cash. However, I believe that the "cash only" policy has served the pub well, as it seems this enables them to keep their costs down. The pub has a happy hour everyday from 4-6 and 10-close. It is conveniently located one block east of "the Thin Man" should the night call for libations of more intensity.

The pub itself is cozy, with almost a log cabin type feel. The lighting is warm and the staff is equally so. This is a great place to come for a few beers with good friends. The food is. . . . decent. But it's cheap! I had one of the night specials, a "Rasta Chicken sandwich" which came with a large helping of french fries for $7.95. Not bad for dinner. Burgers and wraps are equally cheap, with options as low as $4, and most dishes hovering around $6-7.

The chef's are not about to win any awards, but with Denver's mid-priced dining options SERIOUSLY lacking, this is a great option for decent food and great beers. As far as pubs go, I prefer Jonesy's food, but the atmosphere is more inviting with better seating options at Vine Street.
