Philosophy:
At Bad Habits Denver, we are seeking up-beat, interesting, witty personalities with a good memory and willingness to be social.

Customers can drink anywhere. There are hundreds of places to eat. Bad Habits wants to provide a welcoming atmosphere and company, even if they don’t want to be chatty.
