    I absolutely LOVE this place! Chill, relaxed neighborhood vibe, great owners, excellent staff. Friday and Saturday nights offer Karaoke from 7-midnight, (8-midnight on Saturday). Never over crowded and service is excellent; never long wait times for drinks or karaoke. Clean bathrooms, and facility in general.

    Good local bar. The drinks are reasonably priced, and the people who frequent it are nice people. The bartenders are lovely. It's not a bad time, and it doesn't have the noise issue of the live music at Rock a Billies across the parking lot.

    I've been going here for years. Very cool neighborhood bar-vibe with a nice mix of friendly, happy and unpretentious customers. Friday nights are especially fun with Karaoke and Leslie tending bar. Leslie is always smiling and always on it! She remembers what I like to drink and gets it right, every time (my drinks are complicated...). So many bartenders elsewhere give you attitude, ignore you and make you feel like you're a burden to them, all the while still expecting you to give them a big fat tip. Leslie is one of the few bartenders these days who is genuinely happy to see you, is good at her job and has a fun-loving personality and a friendly demeanor. She makes you feel welcome and appreciated, even when she's super busy taking care of everyone while keeping everything running smoothly.

    Affordable drinks and excellent comedy. Located in west Arvada, this unpretentious tavern has been the venue for one of the recurring Saturday night comedy shows that I attend. Dylan Kantor always brings the talent for the featured shows. And, even the open mics tend to feature some veteran jokeslingers.

    Good people, great staff, plenty of drinks and if you love football they have plenty of t.v.'s to watch from any seat and usually fun raffles and other misc. things too. Oh and can't forget about poker on Mondays & Thursdays with Tony and kareoke on Fridays with Kat of Kats Meow, every week, ALWAYS A GOOD TIME!

    Great place for happy hour. Patrons and staff make you feel very welcome and comfortable. Drinks and food are more than reasonable. Love the wings and cheese curds!!!

    Best Arvada local dive bar around!!! Drinks are fairly priced, and there are lots of events going on. The crowd that frequents the Ralston Lounge are great people who will sit and have a conversation with you if you want or let you be.

    A great local place for a drink and snack. Howie is a great person and his staff is equally as awesome. They hold a lot of fun events (cornhole tournaments, chili cook offs, karoke) and provide a fun environment to hang out in.

    Heather #1 was one of the best bar tenders I have had the the pleasure to meet. She first time here and was amazed at her ability to meet the crowds demands. I will definitely be back! Remember they work for tips primarily,so til on the servers professional ability. Very satisfied with my first visit and will definitely be back. Thank you for the great service Heather #1!

    It's a friendly neighborhood bar. Nice staff.

    I go there occasionally on Friday's. They do karaoke on Friday's, pool table, a dance floor and friendly staff. What more can you ask for! Drinks are reasonably priced and they have an area for smokers. Only thing I found was that it's kind of hard to find because they're in a plaza. Rock a Billies is in the same plaza as well.

    I'm just wondering if the hours are correct? I've tried to go there several times and It has been closed and I went there once and was only able to stay for one drink because the bartender said it was last call at 11:30..even though online the hours say 2.

    Happy hour is buy one get one for cheap which is nice. Staff is nice. Besides that the pricing is kinda high compared to some other dives. Definitely seems like a local who you know type bar.

    It's a great drive bar. Food isn't it's strong suit, but I only went one night so I could be wrong. But a lot of the frier stuff came out undercooked. (actually all of it..) that's easily fixed though with training. Loved the space and bar tender was wonderful!
