Maloney's is a bit of a two-faced restaurant-slash-bar .
For lunch, it's a quiet little place to grab some bar food (sandwiches, burgers, salad). The staff are few and far between but that's fine if you're having a leisurely lunch. Who cares? You're surrounded by a dozen TVs.
As for the evenings, especially weekends, this turns into a trendy, silly place to visit. Popped collars and young women try to impress each other, it seems. The bouncers are suitably rude; it comes with the territory and crowd.
I've always liked the meatball sandwiches but the vegetarian options are great, too.
Be careful where you park, the adjacent lot is ticketed fairly often.
If you understand the reference, try "The Dude" (a white russian). The huge menu is hard to navigate but once you know what you want, you won't be disappointed. Service is fairly quick and the price is about right.

The patrons are a bit hippie some time, but that's to be expected. The folks working the drinks are great. Very efficient, very friendly.
Overall this is a great, local coffee shop.
The service took far too long for what it should have been. The food was tasty and everyone around seemed to enjoy it. But it's BBQ, it's not that hard to cook some meat and add sauce. Arguably, the sides seemed more appealing than the entrees.
Worth noting, the décor is leftover from the previous (italian) restaurant (paint, pictures, lamps, etc.) and looks hardly like a rib house. A sign that, hey, maybe it won't be around long enough and isn't worth redecorating..

Casselman's Bar & Venue

Overall, the ambiance is nice. There's a chiil porch out front, polished concrete bar. The staff are friendly but are very much still in start-up mode (lack of attentiveness, poor communication).
Overall this is a nice place in the ExDo area and I look forward to watching it grow.

I think my favorite dog is the reindeer meat... sure, maybe only because I like the thought of eating one of Santa's own for lunch. Seriously, I make a conscious effort to visit Jim on different days of the week to make sure I get a sense of the entire menu.
Highly recommended and a must-eat when in Denver.

The food selection is varied enough that nearly anyone can be appeased. I wouldn't say anything is extraordinary or even worth noting, though. It's all pretty tasty and I've never been disappointed.
The bar is known for their margaritas (tequilas) and I would certainly recommend either. Chat with the staff (they're mostly friendly) and try something new.

Yelpapalooza at the Skylark Lounge

Neighborhoods: Southwest, Speer
The performers were a lot of fun, the atmosphere was friendly, and the overall party was well executed.
Of course it's my fault for being socially inept, but I think the only thing I'd like to see in the future is facilitation of meeting other Yelpers.
Very personable staff, I'd recommend them to anyone in the area.
