Our Guestbook
“ The Crypt is an interesting fusion of punk rock and classic horror movie memorabilia; creating an atmosphere that’s edgy but inviting. What further sets this place apart is their commitment to serving late night vegan food! The menu has an array of creatively crafted vegan dishes that not only have a lot of flavor but has enough variety that even my meat- lover friend was willing to try a vegan dish. A night out at The Crypt listening to punk rock while eating vegan poutine and watching a 1980’s horror flick is a night well spent. ”
“ One of the many hidden gems of North Cap Hill. I'm reviewing on my first visit, and it leaves a really great impression. Vegan pub food until midnight? Yes! Metal, Goth (trad and contemporary), the new romantic and more? Yes! Live shows on a frequent schedule? Yes! Pinball machines and a pool table? Yes! The decor is a direly maximalist, rarely have I been so charmed by reminders of my own ultimate doom. The vegan poutine was pretty tasty, and there are plenty of NA beverage options in addition to the exotically stocked bar. I really would like to come again, maybe for an event this time. ”
“ What can I say? The atmosphere is absolutely bang on! Service was good and fast, the bathrooms clean, the appearance of the place is so goth and creepy, like a Halloween lovers dream! The host DnD nights, magic gathering nights, and have a decent beer selection. Definitely come check it out. ”
“ Small venue, great sound. Super place to see bands. One of the coolest places in town. You get awesome cheese cake across the street. Check out Death loves Veronica. Redwing Blackbird! They have shows with Faces Under Mirror, Rose Garden Funeral Party, a small clip for sound. ”
“ Great food, great staff, great management, and great environment. The mock tails are amazing! And I love a bar that’s not scared to support queer people, and Palestine favorite in Denver hands down. ”
“ Trevor is absolutely the best bartender I've ever encountered. He's so nice and is always working super hard! I hope I see him at The Crypt next time I'm in Denver ”
“ This place is really cool. It's a horror themed dive bar that sells bomb healthy food and it's open late. It's moderately priced and the food is well worth it they play punk rock music but the atmosphere is fun... I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun new spot. I will definitely be back here again ....... ”
“ I love this place! Such a cool atmosphere, very good drink deals, and the poutine fries were so good. I can't wait to come back here again, especially when they're doing live music. Oh and the section where you can buy art from local artists... there's a lot of awesome choices. If you're into the goth/horror/metal vibe, this is the bar for you. ”
