Ace-Hi Tavern
Golden, Colorado
They've been brewing Coors in Golden since the late 1800s, and from the looks of the place, serving it up at the Ace-Hi Tavern for nearly as long. In reality, it's only been open for 50 years or so, but it still boasts all the key ingredients of a classic dive — cheap booze, a pool table, darts, a jukebox, a couple of arcade games, and a lively crowd that has a very specific goal in mind. Should you need to ask what that goal is, you probably shouldn't be going there, but we'll give you a hint: it rhymes with "thinking".
