I went to this place on Saturday and had a couple of beers. The locals were not friendly to me. One thought that I was interested in her boyfriend and that was not true. I began to feel really uncomfortable and left after about an hour with my friends. We decided to try the club scene instread. All of the guys there have girlfriends. Not a good place for single girls.

Stop by for a great burger and beer. It is a fun place to hang out that is not commericialized like other Denver spots. Best time to go is on Saturday nights. Have a pocket full of money for the jukebox. The tunes are there. The locals that frequent are fun. Many are couples that are most interesting to watch and listen to! Fun place to be much better than other Denver hangouts

Great place to go hang out and have a few drinks. Ben is not dangerous at all! He is too funny. The locals make you feel at home! Ben will make you laugh the entire time... The place is a dive bar and that is what makes it stick out in the Denver area. That is what makes it great!!! Carolina girls did enjoy visiting your place! Thanks Russ for making sure I got there and back safely!!!

Pros: Its all good!

We go there on Friday's for lunch. The service is fast and the burgers kick-ass. Try the Denver Zoo burger and the Tijuana - horrible names for burgers, but still delicious. If you are expecting a lively singles scene or the cleanest bar in Denver, this is not a good choice. However, if all you're looking for is a price-competitive place to drink with friends on the edge of downtown, Shelby's is a winner. And contrary to the other reviews, we have never been assaulted by the bartender.

Pros: Burgers, happy hour, walking distance from offices

Cons: Furniture needs replaced, no Original Coors on draft

I am serious when I ask if you need any sort of corroboration. I have also had a terrible experience with this bar and with Ben the bartender. please contact me if you need any help having him fired.

This place is dangerous and Ben the bartender will have you injured if he does not like you. I went there and had some drinks. Ben did not like me and had some buddy of his throw me out on my face on the sidewalk. I sustained several injuries as a result. The Denver police are investigating this place.

Pros: Nothing

Cons: Ben the bartender is dangerous and will have you beat up by his buddies. I sustained injuries. The Denver police are investigating Ben the bartender.

Me & the group don't get to go out very often, but when we do it right. We started out on the 16th st mall and worked our way down to Shelby's. The drinkls at the Paramount Cafe were cheaper than Shelby's and they had a live band, pool tables, etc. The bartender was a little overly intoxicated. Maybe that is why our drinks were so expensive. I will only go back during happy hour.

I have no idea how this place manages to stay open downtown. The service is awful. The bartenders take orders, but don't fill them, won't close your tab when you ask, and are just down right rude. They only seem interested in serving "regulars." I'm a Denver native and wouldn't be the least bit sad if this place were demolished and replaced with just about anything. Hopefully, real estate values will demand it.

Pros: Absolutely nothing

Cons: Rude bartenders, atmosphere

It's a dive, but it's fun! A bit smokey, but that will change July 1st anyway... The crowd is very diverse and laid back.

Pros: people

Cons: parking
