11229 S. Colorado 93, about 10 miles north of Golden, Colorado, wwww.rockyflatslounge.com, 303/499-4242
Located in the windswept middle of nowhere between Golden and Boulder, the Rocky Flats Lounge is the consummate roadhouse, with a woodsy, slightly ornery vibe and loads of character. A payroll office turned watering hole for employees of the nearby Rocky Flats Plant, a nuclear weapons facility that was shuttered due to safety violations and the ensuing controversy, the lounge nowadays attracts mostly blue collar types, namely bikers, and fans of the Green Bay Packers, but it still plays off its toxic heritage in its T-shirts: “I got nuclear wasted at the Rocky Flats Lounge.”
