Ash was an amazing bartender. Very personal and able to keep others happy at the same time as making me feel appreciated. The bar and lounge were very clean and all games and pool table were functioning properly. I ordered a sandwich and it was tasty and the fries were hot and crispy. Overall I was happy to spend my money with Ash and the rest of the staff.

So, this is the deal... Often after of driving for Insta-ma- jig, I stop at a bar for 1 drink. Right now, I am at the Satire on Colfax. ...Same owner as Pete's Kitchen. This bar has a very neighborhood feel though everyone may be from a different neighborhood. ...Nonetheless, everyone is very friendly, both customers, and staff. And... They have a jukebox! That reminds me of New Orleans bars. I'm from New Orleans. They have their happy hour Mon - Fri, 5 - 8 pm. And there's good food, mainly appetizers and small dishes. I ordered the enchiladas for $ 12. See pic. That's a good price and quite tasty and friendly. ...Love love this place! Kevy

This is probably the best bar I ever been to in my entire life. Shannon & Jess are the most professional bartenders I ever met in my life! The food was so incredible I thought Gordon Ramsey was in the back! Also, you have to come on Wednesdays, trivia is so much fun!

The recently (April 2022) reopened and remodeled Pete’s Satire lounge is now serving amazing bar food! Known as a iconic dive bar of Denver it now hosts neighborhood locals who just wanna go out for an affordable drink and have a great time in one of the most iconic historic bars of Denver. The remodel was essentially a restoration of the historic building which unveiled stonewalls from the 1960s. The bar feels much more spacious with two new bar counters with open garage doors facing Colfax. We sampled the new bar menu which had some exceptional standouts like the cheesesteak eggrolls, the pastrami Reuben, the barbecue chicken rings, and the mac & cheese with pulled pork! Everything is made to order and fresh. Great place to watch a game or experience trivia night on Wednesdays or karaoke night on Fridays. The “Tire” is fire!
