Entry No. 6 — the Denver file — filed under: tiki bar

Hell or High Water Tiki

Behind an unmarked door on Walnut sits a haunted gay-pirate-ship tiki bar where a shimmering phallic 'Disco Dick' presides over a pink leopard-print epoxy bar top. The front room, the Glory Hole, is its own scene: free pool, a confessional-inspired photo booth, and quick-pour drinks like a Pina Colada cut with coconut Gatorade. The skulls-and-nautical decor hides a lot of phallic Easter eggs if you look. It moved here from downtown in 2026 and most people walk right past it.

The move: Start in the Glory Hole front room with a round of pool and a shot, take a couple of cursed photos in the confessional booth, then move into the back tiki den for tropical drinks and a hunt for all the hidden phallic decor.

📍 Before you go You'll find it in RiNo at 3542 Walnut, the former Millers & Rossi art-gallery space, right next door to the Tracks nightclub — that neighbor is your best landmark, since the door itself is unmarked and easy to walk past. It's an evenings-only adult spot (21+), so plan to come after dark. Walk-ins are welcome, but parties larger than six should email ahead, and a reservation hedges your bet on busy nights. Parking is street-style RiNo, so leave time to circle. Pair it with a Tracks night or the surrounding RiNo bars and murals. Hours shift seasonally — check ahead.
