Like Denver Broncos fans, Nathan Szklarski wanted to find a place to unwind and scream at the TV. So last month Szklarski opened Horror Bar, a cocktail bar that screens scary movies every night.
“Sports bars have jerseys and TVs everywhere playing sports games, but I don’t care about sports,” he said. “I love horror and weird cult films, so I thought, ‘Why not do the same thing for horror films?’”
Horror Bar is located at 5126 E. Colfax Ave. in the Hale neighborhood. It’s open every day from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m.
In the East Colfax Avenue space formerly occupied by Bellwether the hip spot that was one-third coffee shop, one-third cocktail bar and one-third barbershop something frightening is going on. Horror Bar, a scary, movie-themed cocktail bar that opened in late March, is open not just to horror film fanatics, but anyone who enjoys a quality drink and some chilling fun.
As its Instagram bio reads, Horror Bar is “a cocktail bar for fans of the strange and unusual.” But you don’t have to have all of John Carpenter’s movies memorized to thoroughly enjoy yourself here. According to owner Nate Szklarski, the half-chic, half-spooky interior of his new bar has already created a comfort zone for an eclectic crowd beyond just horror devotees, a bonus he didn’t anticipate.
