Never again

by DeviousRex

I went to Funky Buddha last week while on business in Denver. I spent $24.50 on drinks and added a $5.00 tip. Apparently that wasn't good enough as $54.00 in charges cleared today.

I usually tell people visiting Denver that they should go to Funky Buddha. I won't ever recommend it or go there again.

• Cons: Double-charging

Charged 3 Times! Beware!

by no4ved4

My girlfriends and I went to happy hour, had the worst martini's of our lives, then came to find out that our server charged our bill 3 times on 3 different days. Still haven't heard back from them on the false charges. BEWARE, if you want to risk this place PAY IN CASH! Very sketchy, STAY AWAY! There should be a zero star option!

• Pros: Nothing
• Cons: 2 false charges.

Females Beware

by clbgrl45654

went there last weekend and witnessed a girl getting groped by an agressive man. the girl tried to tell the bouncers about him and was blown off time after time, even the GM let the man stay and continue to be served alchohol and prey on other girls. would not recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Ehhhh Skip It

by HipsterLove

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

Lovely staple being remodeled... Can't wait!!!

by lovelysingle

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

I thought this place would be classy

by mbradensig

I've always heard good things about this place. So, I was excited when a friend suggested going there on a Saturday night. The bar had a nice rooftop patio and ambience without having to deal with Lodo. Unfortunately, the patrons of this place are mostly upper 20s-30s something losers who must stay home all week trying to look cool on Myspace and then come here as their only chance to get out of the house. Additionally it's about 75% guys and 25% girls. It's a shame because this place has a lot of potential. They just need to find some classy patrons and more hot women.

• Pros: great patio, no cover, dj
• Cons: full of losers, very few women

Great Service

by featon

I just moved here from Florida and went to Funky Buddha because a lot of ppl recommended it! All I heard about it was right. The place is super nice, has a great patio, really good drinks and great service. I will definitly come back!! Oh and for the ladie that wrote the review below mine....I was there that same day and got to be a witness of what happened. I dont think you should go out to get wasted, scare other customers with your rude attitude and specialy you should never think its ok to lay and sleep on a public bar. The staff handle the situation way better than any other place would have done it!!

Cheers to The Buddha!!!!!

• Pros: Service, drinks and atmosphere.
• Cons: None

don't go

by shellywilliamson

What happened? I visited this club in 2006 and had a very nice experience. Last Friday, June 8, 2007 I went into happy hour alone. I had barely gotten relaxed when the waitress and manager verbally attacked me. The manager yelled at me to get out and called the police. I wasn't bothering anyone. I am single woman and I had just gotten off of work and wanted to relax at happy hour.This is not a safe or nice place to go anymore.

• Pros: none
• Cons: everything now

This South of Colfax club is so trendy, it's like being transported to Hollywood or South Beach.

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.

Good! Stay away!!!

by xpectre

I like this place. If you all went there, I probably wouldn't. I've never gotten bad service. It wasn't crowded or too bright, so I LOVE it! I'll single-handedly keep the place open if I have to, heh-heh!!!!

• Pros: Dark, Good music, Unsmoky
• Cons: Not free, I don't live there
