Lucky Joe's Sidewalk Saloon

Lucky Joe's feels like one of those Old Town places that somehow works no matter what version of the night you're having. During the day the patio is packed with people drinking Guinness in the sun while tourists, college kids, and local regulars all blend together out on the square. Then later at night the whole place turns louder, messier, and way more whiskey-heavy once the live music and Jameson crowd take over. It is one of the few downtown bars that still feels genuinely Fort Collins instead of trying to reinvent itself every two years.
