I drove past My Brother's Bar, seen on the corner in the photograph above, a few days ago and noticed that they still have their "Celebrating 150 Years" banner up on the side of the building. The actual 150th anniversary took place 2 years ago, but I assume they are still proud to show off just how old the place is. Although it has had different names and different owners, this building has been a bar since 1873, starting out as Highland House, and is located in Denver's Lower Downtown (LoDo) neighborhood. I read on the internet (always a reliable source of information) that the old bar in the main room is the original one, and was a hangout for beat generation alums Jack Kerouac, Neal Cassady, and Allen Ginsburg. And even I myself have visited the place a few times. I recommend stopping by if you live in or are traveling to Denver. It is definitely a trip back in time.
