Do dive bars make Denver one of the 25 Best Places to Live?

El Chapultepec, deliberately divey?

Denver is one of the 25 Best Places to Live, according to the April issue of Men's Journal . The manly mag touts the downtown living here, which allows you to walk "to everything from an NBA game to deliberately divey bars."

Hangouts run the gamut from Sinatra-style cocktails at the Oxford Hotel's Cruise Room to burritos and breakfast beers at kitschy-cool El Chapultepec to winemaking in a Quonset hut at Infinite Monkey Theorem. "I work down here and don't have to get in a car until I go skiing," says Chuck Sullivan, co-founder of a local consulting business.
