Howie's Ralston Lounge

I absolutely LOVE this place! Chill, relaxed neighborhood vibe, great owners, excellent staff. Friday and Saturday nights offer Karaoke from 7-midnight, (8-midnight on Saturday). Never over crowded and service is excellent; never long wait times for drinks or karaoke. Clean bathrooms, and facility in general.

Great local dive bar, Heather is awesome. I recommend the ceviche or the king crab legs.

Heather #1 was one of the best bar tenders I have had the the pleasure to meet. She first time here and was amazed at her ability to meet the crowds demands.
I will definitely be back! Remember they work for tips primarily,so til on the servers professional ability. Very satisfied with my first visit and will definitely be back. Thank you for the great service Heather #1!

I've been going here for years. Very cool neighborhood bar-vibe with a nice mix of friendly, happy and unpretentious customers. Friday nights are especially fun with Karaoke and Leslie tending bar. Leslie is always smiling and always on it! She remembers what I like to drink and gets it right, every time (my drinks are complicated...). So many bartenders elsewhere give you attitude, ignore you and make you feel like you're a burden to them, all the while still expecting you to give them a big fat tip. Leslie is one of the few bartenders these days who is genuinely happy to see you, is good at her job and has a fun-loving personality and a friendly demeanor. She makes you feel welcome and appreciated, even when she's super busy taking care of everyone while keeping everything running smoothly.

Howies is exactly what you want from a bar and lounge in a strip mall. Local, Affordable, and down-to-earth. The comedy shows here are a great time!

Good people, great staff, plenty of drinks and if you love football they have plenty of t.v.'s to watch from any seat and usually fun raffles and other misc. things too. Oh and can't forget about poker on Mondays & Thursdays with Tony and kareoke on Fridays with Kat of Kats Meow, every week, ALWAYS A GOOD TIME!

A great local place for a drink and snack. Howie is a great person and his staff is equally as awesome. They hold a lot of fun events (cornhole tournaments, chili cook offs, karoke) and provide a fun environment to hang out in.

I thought I would try this spot on a friday night while visiting my parents from out of town. The bartender was very busy but was understandable as incredibly busy as they were. Given the fact she was the only bartender there she did an incredible job! I think that was the most fun I have ever had doing kareoke! The staff was great and the people were great! I wish I lived closer. This would be a regular friday spot for me! Looking forward to my next trip!

Best Arvada local dive bar around!!! Drinks are fairly priced, and there are lots of events going on. The crowd that frequents the Ralston Lounge are great people who will sit and have a conversation with you if you want or let you be.

Affordable drinks and excellent comedy. Located in west Arvada, this unpretentious tavern has been the venue for one of the recurring Saturday night comedy shows that I attend. Dylan Kantor always brings the talent for the featured shows. And, even the open mics tend to feature some veteran jokeslingers.

The bartenders are great!!! They make delicious drinks! The prices are fair. The wings are good!! Great location, sufficient parking. All around great experience.

Great place for happy hour. Patrons and staff make you feel very welcome and comfortable. Drinks and food are more than reasonable. Love the wings and cheese curds!!!

I have always loved this place, people are down to earth, drinks are a good price, and there's plenty to do to pass the time if you like pool or karaoke. No frills and definitely not highbrow at all! Every bartender I've come across is great.

You know your cool aunt & uncle who have the super nice bar set-up in their cozy basement? That's this place but with live music and a sweet crowd who loves to dance and drink! I definitely recommend checking them out!

Leslie is one of the best bartenders drinks are made good. Her company and smile is awsome great place on a Friday night

This is a fun quaint place with a lot of regulars. I personally have been hanging out there for over 25 years. It is such a friendly bar that it doesn't take long for you to begin to feel like Family. They suck you in and you can't help but to spread your friendship too. They have potluck compitions, Halloween contests, bands, Indy raffels, football pools, karaoke okee and much more. This is on we of those neighborhood bars what where you will ok l sing, "I love this bar." As you feel like you've walked into a similarity of Cheers. Fun, quant, friendly, personable place to go. And the drinks are very reasonably priced and made without the measured pour. You get your monies worth. Aaaaand I love Howie! He’s the owner and him and his wife, Hope, are the best!!!

I love this place! The staff is always the same. The customers are loyal and fun. The Ralston lounge also has great specials and events. Way better than rock a bullies ♡

Didn't know this was here! Stopped in for a drink, no complaints.

Great neighborhood gathering place for two to twenty people, always helps develop a positive attitude even in these trying days, low key and relaxing with great and friendly service, I'll go back.

It is the RL - locals place and fun.
