The tap beer tastes like puke and the karaōke was god awful. Everyone else was having fun and drinking out of bottles so you might like it. I’m on my way to shower and wash my clothes after two minutes in Cleopatras made my clothes stink of smoke. Gnarly dive bar with no charm.

3.5 stars. It has its share of charm for an old Lakewood semi dive. You can smoke inside which is rare for Denver area bars and the glasses are ice cold so your coors will be easy to drink. Pool and a jukebox make this a nice little happy hour spot if avoiding the chains in Belmar suits your fancy. Grab a beer and a smoke and enjoy!

Lakewood Dive Bar! I obeyed my sense of adventure and stopped in for a quick beer before a dinner party. The regulars were friendly as well as the wait staff. The HH was a 2 fer with reasonably priced bottled beer. Kinda dark with a couple of pool tables and a dart board with a table in front of it, so I am not sure what the protocol is to play. Friendly place that I will visit again.

If you want to encounter the scum of all scum, this is the place for you. The owner is always sitting at the bar beyond wasted barking orders at his trashy dirty clothed staff. The beers are on a pour system, so after waiting for them to pour 4 pitchers of foam, you get a glass of warm beer. The condition of the place is probably the worst part. an inch of visable dust behind the bar, and everything smells like old beer and tabbaco. this place is a hazard and should be put out of its misery.

I love this bar! the atmosphere is great, I can smoke inside and they have a great staff! avoid cleo’s on fridays and saturdays unless you enjoy djs with poor selections of music that they seem to have pulled straight off a local radio station. aside from that, this is a must if you enjoy dive/cigar bars. and I would recommend going more than once, make it your«cheers» and you will not be disappointed! free pool on wednesdays and dougie and christa are awesome. plus on the right days you can catch me at free book signings all night. bring a book, any book and I’ll sign it!

Used to be a fun bar. Now you have to fight your way through the pot smoke outside to get to the cigarette smoke inside. Too many wannabe gangsters ruining this place.

If you own: a trucker hat, mullet, or an Adidas stripe in your hair, then WELCOME. Overall, an excellent dive. If you show up in more than jeans and a three day beard, you’re out of your element. Good place to play free pool on Wednesdays and listen to an assortment of Metallica and Hip-Hop, with the occasional silence as the juke box is reloaded. Good cheap drinks, blue collar patrons, and the affluent group of pool sharks carrying their **very own** hand crafted cues. If you want to get BOMBED for $ 10– go to Cleo’s. Just remember– the dirtier the jeans, the better your stay. Just watch out for the men dressed as Ziggy Stardust and ZZ Top. They’ll either hit on you or shred your face off. Either way– a must if you’re up for a cheep brew.

The owner, Sam, is a crazy Eqyptian guy who plays piano and ping-pong. He can normally be found hanging out at the bar, which always makes it a fun night because he’s quite the character. This is a cigar bar, so be prepared for lots of smoke. The prices are reasonable and they are generous with the pours. Don’t expect anyone to suggest a cab though so be aware of your tolerance and try to be responsible!
