Eck’s Saloon (9890 W. Girton Dr., Lakewood; 303-989-2991)
Calling all head bangers! If metal is your preferred musical genre then you have found a home. Located near Kipling and Hamdpen, this rockin’ bar is huge. The stage area is in the back and has its own large bar and there is also a pool and dart room (all free) and the smaller bar and grill up front.  Aside from 80’s cover bands and today’s hottest regional metal acts, occasionally the real deal show up like White Lion and Quiet Riot. Happy hour is daily from 3 to 7 PM and the kitchen is open until Midnight and offers food specials before the bands start.
