The Tilted Kilt at 16th Street Mall in downtown Denver is quickly becoming a favorite watering hole for Carly and I. I admit that it is not saying much considering we rarely drink, but I can say that if we do venture downtown we make it a habit to stop here for a beer. The Tilted Kilt has great selection on tap and a full liquor bar, in addition to a sports bar food menu with a irish kick. Not to mention the attractive cast members (think Hooter’s gone plaid…miniskirts, push up bra’s and knee highs). In addition to a great outdoor patio that provides the opportunity to people-watch the patrons of the 16th Street Mall.
This was a natural choice as to where Carly and I would spend our St. Patty’s Day afternoon. After spending an hour or so on the patio, Carly with a Jack & Coke, and me with Sailor Jerry & Coke, we decided to walk the block or so to The Cheesecake Factory for some dinner. On our way we came across the most magical St. Patrick’s Day surprise of all time: A real live leprechaun. It totally made Carly’s day. I am convinced this one was real because his ears were pointed.
We have been trying to get some of our friends from Florida to move here and I think we have found our best-selling point. Denver has so much to offer: close proximity to ski resorts, great venues, every major sport, excellent night-life, top-notch restaurants, great pay when compared to cost-of-living, a major international airport that serves as a gateway to the world, and now a REAL LIVE LEPRECHAUN.
