Lettuce, Guac, Bacon, Tomatoes: LGBT Food Stuff at Denver’s Queer Bars

Denver Sweet

Denver Sweet sounds like a confectionary, but in reality, it’s a honey trap for Denver’s bear community. Their menu, however, is pretty sweet. They’ve got reasonably priced apps, hunger-quelling sammies, and incredible flatbread pizzas. 

Try our favorite: Cheesy Taco Pizza, a flatbread topped with jalapeño cheddar sauce, ground beef, tomato, onion, and cheddar jack cheese, served with a side of sour cream. All of the food at Denver Sweet comes out fast, is cooked fresh, and made to order. 

Denver Sweet is also home to quite possibly one of the best queer rooftop bars in Denver. Quench your thirst with a delicious cocktail and an eyeful of their go-go boys.

Fusions Bar and Grill

One of Denver’s newer bars, Fusions is the date spot for any queer couple who love Asian-inspired cuisine and exquisite cocktails. Every Tuesday until 9 p.m., they offer two entrees and two well drinks for only $25, the perfect deal for a first date or a couple of friends. 

Fusion’s menu is completely customizable; they also have a downstairs bar available for parties and events. 

The Triangle Bar Denver

While Triangle may be known more as part of Denver’s queer club scene, they are not messing around when it comes to food. Triangle offers three separate menus, depending on the day of the week. 

Thursdays are for “Wings and Things.” Stop by on Thursday, and you can score yourself all-you-can-eat wings, which are available in nine different sauces. They also offer small plates like their Wagyu beef meatballs, or try their veggie burger to really impress the vegan in your life. 

Tacos and Tequila Fridays are just as much of a party as they sound. They’ve got chips and salsa, premium bottles of tequila, and, of course, tacos. Triangle’s Sunday brunch menu has everything you could want for breakfast from the savory to the sweet, paired with classic morning cocktails. 

Hamburger Mary’s

Located just west of City Park, Hamburger Mary’s provides an intimate atmosphere and an extremely friendly bar staff. Hamburger Mary’s not only serves up fierce drag looks but, as the name would suggest, fierce burgers. 

Their menu consists of apps, eight signature burgers, sandwiches, salads, and even five types of mac and cheese. But of course, if you’re sticking to a liquid diet, Hamburger Mary’s has a host of $6 cocktails for happy hour, 3 to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.

Try our favorite: Buffy the Hamburger Slayer, an all-beef patty cooked to your specifications, roasted garlic cloves, Swiss cheese, and a red wine reduction, topped off with roasted garlic aioli. Pair it with an Exotico Margarita to get your weekend started off right. 

Wild Corgi Pub

Located between Capitol Hill and Cheesman Park, Wild Corgi lives up to its name with corgi-inspired cocktails and a menu chock-full of delicious bites to eat. Their “Classic Corg-tails” will put a little pup in your step, and their newly added cocktails will leave you barking. 

At the Wild Corgi Pub, they believe desserts should come first, and their menu reflects that. Satiate your sweet tooth with a slice of one of their cheesecakes, cinnamon churros, or an order of fried Oreos. 

Their gluten-free Totchos are a fun take on the classic, cheesy dish with a base of tater tots replacing chips. Entrees include wings, club sandwiches, and our favorite, Buffalo chicken sliders topped with blue cheese dressing and a side of your choice.
