I always carry anytime I go to Denver- especially 5 Points, sure it's gotten better over the years, but it's still pretty bad (have a couple friends who live in the area- 2 break ins on their street, one vehicle theft- and that's just this year!). You can always go to Blake St. Tavern- great place, good libations, and friendly atmosphere... but if you don't like sports you probably won't like it.
