My Brother's Bar: A Welcoming Oasis

The absolute highlight of my visit to Denver was several lunches at My Brother's Bar at the corner of 15th and Platte in the LoDo district. The staff were exceedingly friendly and made me feel much welcome there. A parting shot of Knappogue Castle on my final visit was an appreciated gesture.

I hope for many returns. My Brother's Bar is the kind of oasis I seek, both home and aboard.

The Johnny Burger features jalapeño cream cheese, Swiss and Cheddar cheeses, plus grilled onions. Its everything I want in a bar burger: a good beef patty with just a hint of pink, an indulgence of cheese, and sweet grilled onions.
