The Irish Rover (Denver) is the Wednesday trivia room with a rooftop patio, and its site describes the patio as open year round, with retractable awnings and walls, fireplace tables, overhead heaters and misters. Pub Trivia at 54 S Broadway starts Wednesday, Oct 28 at 7 PM, price free. A recurring Wednesday line shows 8 PM, so the bar's own page decides. The bar opens at 3 p.m. on weekdays and stays open until 2 a.m., so there is time to claim a table before the first question. Free and paid street parking are both available. First-timers can read Bar Trivia Denver: What to Expect and Where to Play for what to expect and what to wear.

Denver Beer Co. - Lowry is a brewpub in the Lowry neighborhood, and its taproom page shows a full lunch and dinner menu next to the craft beers. Pub Trivia at 7070 E Lowry Blvd starts Wednesday, Oct 28 at 6:30 PM, price free, half an hour ahead of The Irish Rover, so the two cannot be stacked in one evening. The taproom is open until 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and the entrance and seating are wheelchair accessible.

Line dancing and karaoke

The lessons cover two-step, line dances and country classics, suit all skill levels and need no partner. The club is open daily from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. More on the club's site.
