Title: Bars that have quit smoking
Post by: Townsend on January 19, 2011, 08:58:50 AM
This isn't really a review but I've noticed a few bars around town changing the whole smoking thing.

Being an ex-smoker (huzzah), I was pleased to hear that Empire Bar (15th and Peoria) is now non-smoking and Gray Snail, across the street, is soon to be non-smoking.

Are there other bars anyone can think of that have recently changed?

C'mooooon Arnies.

Not recently changed, but recently opened is the Max Retropub.

And of course I love new bars but there are a few old haunts to which I'd like to return every once in a while.  I'm just not up for the smoke smell anymore.

Great.  Maybe my wife will go back.  That place is a "not a chance in Hell" right now.

It's about time, I can smell it when I drive by.  Or maybe that's Albert G's I'm smelling  ;D

The Colony rivals Drake's for smokiest place in town.

Not new but for people looking for non-smoking who might not know:

Sound Pony
Hunt Club
Downstairs at McNellies

I swear half a hangover is the damn smoke.
