Editorial Review for Funky Buddha Lounge – by Dave Flomberg
In Short
The owners of the Church and Vinyl turned another dive into a hot spot with as much faux fur and leather pants as you can pack into a joint without the paparazzi showing up. Built on the ashes of Romansito's, the Buddha features sleek high-backed booths and minimalist furniture. The DJs spin house and hip-hop and the bartenders work overtime. Drink prices are still less than in L.A., and the people are almost as pretty.

Insider Tips
Save TimeBypass the long lines with a $100 table reservation. The amount goes toward your tab and gets you and four friends a place to sit.
Where to SitIn good weather, slink up the easy-to-miss back stairs to the patio. Order appetizers and enjoy a great view of the Western Slope and downtown lights.
ParkingThe club is not in LoDo, so there's actually available street parking around the venue.

I went to the Buddha for the 2nd time this weekend, after not having been for a couple of years to hang with some friends. I heard the music was good and there was a pretty good gay scene. The scene was decent but the music was standard fare and so loud I could not hear the conversation unless I was 6" away from my friends. Totally obnoxious!!! There were a couple of hot men so that was good but that's it. Skip it.... there are tons of better bars in Denver. ;0)
Pros: Ok gay scene, roof top patio
Cons: Music, loud, small

The Funky Buddha has always been home to a fun, good looking staff, ranging from a low key lounge to a packed pseudo club. I have been going there for a while and have had a range of experiences all of which have been wonderful. As a single woman, it is not overly intimidating and when there is no hot men to talk to there are always the bartenders! They have a new back patio now and looks as though remodeling! Can't wait and hope in maintains that trendy 'cheers' atmosphere. Try the mojitos! A little $$$ and more of a destination place but always worth stopping in for a drink and a cigarette (you can smoke upstairs)!
Pros: Trendy Cheers feel, don't feel like I am the only single woman there
Cons: A little pricy, more of a destination point
