Is Katie Mullen’s Irish Restaurant & Pub just another concept venue? Hardly. This downtown Denver favorite is a stand-alone proposition with Irish ownership in Carrick-on-Shannon.

It's an ideal mix of "Erin go bragh" and USA red, white and blue.

Piper Inn has been a Parker Road fixture since 1963 and probably will be forever known as a biker bar.
