Did you always think the name Jane was too plain, or that John was too common? Having a common name at the Front Porch can be a good thing; it can give the opportunity to some plain Jane or John to drink for free all night. Each month, the Front Porch fills the calendar with names based on suggestions from patrons.
Anyone whose name correlates with the Front Porch's chosen name for the night needs only their photo ID to prove they share the name, which gets them free drinks all night. A monthly schedule is posted at their website, www.frontporchdenver.com, listing each night's lucky winners for the month.
Offering yet another chance to give drinks away, the Front Porch also offers Flip Night. Every Wednesday, each time a drink is ordered, a coin is flipped. If the drinker can guess which way the coin will land, the drink is free.
The drink specials are just half the reasons customers keep coming back. The atmosphere of the Front Porch is also a big selling point. It is meant to resemble the atmosphere of a front porch of a comfy southern mansion. It's a great, lazy place to relax with friends and drink. The brown and dark red tones of the walls, along with dim lighting are reminiscent of long nights spent out on a patio listening to the crickets.
At the bar's website, The Front Porch claims its influences include New Orleans, Phish, sweet tea and southeastern football. The result is a bed and breakfast-like hospitality and comfort, a welcome alternative to other 15th street bars and clubs that are more likely to have a dress code than Widespread Panic fans.
At the Front Porch, the dress code ranges from suit and tie to shorts and flip-flops.
"This bar is the only non-pretentious bar in the area," bartender Nick Delmonico said.
So if you ever find yourself downtown feeling underdressed or just looking for a relaxing neighborhood bar, give the Front Porch a try and maybe that common name you have always hated may just get you some free drinks for the night.
