Rusty Bucket

The Rusty Bucket is a popular Cheers-style bar and grill in southwest Lakewood with an affordable menu and enough of a football following to be voted the top Steelers bar in the Denver metro. It is a 21-plus room with a blues-focused calendar: an open blues jam runs on Wednesday nights, with live shows landing on Fridays and Saturdays. For guests, it is a genuine neighborhood spot to grab a bite, sit at the bar, and catch a set of blues on the weekend; for blues acts, the room's dedicated programming and returning crowd make it a comfortable and knowledgeable audience.
