The Electric Cure

Two service-industry veterans built a rum-and-tiki bar that answers the question 'what if a tropical bar fell into the lap of Satan herself?' — and then leaned all the way in. It's crammed with thrifted velvet paintings (a rotating collab with the self-styled Denver Museum of Velvet Arts), vinyl, and Edgewater oddities like a nod to Roger the Elephant supposedly buried under the neighborhood. The decor theme shifts with the seasons and the events run weird — think Zombie Jesus Easter drag shows. Cocktails aren't all tiki; the vibe is irreverent, queer, and tiny.

The move: Grab two stools among the velvet devils, split the hummus-and-charcuterie snacks, and order whatever rum drink the bartender swears by — then hunt the room for the strangest object you can find and make your date guess the story behind it.
