Bernard's Tiki Room
The Arvada Tavern is Olde Town's original cocktail bar, but the real secret is upstairs: Bernard's Tiki Room, a rum-soaked Polynesian lounge you reach by stepping into a nondescript old phone booth and through the wall behind it. It only runs a few nights a week, with classic tiki drinks, the occasional live band, and a cozy room that feels a world away from the tavern below. Most people drinking downstairs never realize the phone booth goes anywhere. Reservations help, since the room is small and weekend-only.
The move: Start with a cocktail downstairs at the Tavern, then slip through the phone booth into Bernard's for tiki drinks and a live band in the tiny upstairs lounge.
