Trade – The unpretentious leather dive bar with cocktails, regular events, and themed nights.The Compound Gay Bar was part of the South Broadway scene before all the hipster design shops, and vintage clothiers moved in-and we hope it’s here long after!

BEST GAY BAR DENVER PLUS
All your standard amenities plus some unique ones like fire pits, shuffleboard at the bar, and a welcome cocktail to start you off on the right foot! We also loved staying at the Moxy in other locations around the world including Taichung, Washington DC, and Osaka – and while the Moxy isn’t a gay-hotel, it is most certainly gay-popular. There is also a beautiful outdoor beer garden + fun restaurants and bars nearby. If you want to stay close to the downtown - this is a fun, and casual hotel that offers Denver’s trademark understated cool vibes.
