After years of working at the Barker Lounge in Denver’s Baker neighborhood, Tony Fleith taken over the bar and recreated it as
Li'l Devils Lounge.
Debuting last month, Denver’s newest gay establishment is a hip, urban neighborhood bar with a warm, masculine feel.
"It’s got an edgy feel to it," Fleith says. "It’s an upscale but fun atmosphere. The location itself is awesome. It’s up-and-coming and has proven itself through the years. It’s the adult version of LoDo."
Li'l Devils, at 255 S. Broadway offers features Colorado craft beers and a seasonal drink menu that includes all the favorites, as well as specialty hand-crafted cocktails using only fresh ingredients.
There's no food served -- Li'l Devils doesn’t have a kitchen -- but the establishment does feature a "video bar," where the music matches what's played on the screens.
Bounded on the north by West Sixth Avenue, on the east by Broadway, on the south by West Mississippi and on the west by the South Platte River, Baker is a mix of industrial, residential and commercial properties. The area is served by several bus lines and two light-rail stations at Alameda and I-25 and Broadway.
The neighborhood includes hundreds of 19th-century brick houses and 39 buildings by architect William Lang, a famous Denver architect. More than 80 percent of the neighborhood was developed by 1900.
