Hope the remodel does something, but when a bar cuts off its nose to spite its face with things like NOT TAKING CREDIT CARDS (evidently they had a problem 15 years ago with them and won't ever take them) I'd advise going elsewhere. The owners are either rich or just don't care, because I've heard NUMEROUS complaints about that one issue, and they don't want to hear the customer. They have the most expensive call drinks in town (9.25 for a Jager bomb? Are you high?) They force you to buy the can of Red energy drink when you want a splash, their pool table is the most expensive in town, their Megatouch game gives you 3 credits for a buck (everywhere else is 4). The energy and life of the late 80s and 90s in this place is kaput. Remember the fun, crazy bartenders they had in the day? They're gone. Grumpy and tired best describes the mix now. Sunday nights are still fairly busy, but the rest of the week--pretty tired. I'm sad for the place cuz it used to be my favorite. But dissappointed is all I am now.
Pros: Been there 19 years
Cons: They don't take credit cards. Dumb.

If you have only one night in Denver, this is the place to go....it's the most comfortable place in Denver. You can count on always meeting new and friendly faces, have a great laugh with the bartenders and have the time of your life on the dance floor - the energy DJ Zac creates on Sat and Sun nights is almost religious! While I like many other bars in town, this is the only one you can really count on when all the others seem to fail, so if you don't make Compound your first stop and realize you made a mistake, make it your second and last stop of the night. As for out-of-towners...this is the place I take all my friends (from NY, Chicago, Miami, LA, even London) all of us have been to hundreds of gay places around the world, this is hands-down the Denver favorite! Yeow!
Pros: fab bartenders, great drinks, amazing music
