11 x 17 Dons Mixed Drinks By Karl Krumpholz

Don's Club Tavern — better known to generations of Denver drinkers as "Don's Mixed Drinks," thanks to the neon sign that's been glowing on that corner since the bar opened in the 1940s — is one of Capitol Hill's most enduring institutions. Located at 723 E. 6th Ave, it's the kind of place with worn wood, cheap drinks, a pool table, and enough layered history that it practically has its own personality. Jack Kerouac is said to have thrown back drinks here during one of his Denver stretches. That's the kind of bar this is.
