Need I mention the Falling Rock Tap House? :-) They have a 
fantastic DSL connection and free wireless access throughout 
the tavern.  I understand reception in the basement is a bit 
sketchy.  I believe that there are one or two ethernet ports
available, but you have to know the necessary static routing
which no one in the bar knows or understands.  The wireless
connection is set up with DHCP.

This factoid isn't advertised.  This promotional DSL 
connection was arranged by a number of Denver geeks who enjoy 
their beer as much as their computers.  With their 69 taps 
and 150 plus bottled varieties of beer the Falling Rock has 
a malted beverage for just about everyone.  Their slogan is 
"No Crap on Tap".  For those of you who don't like beer (Sean)
they usually have at least one cider on tap.  The variety of 
food isn't great, but the quality's good.  

Just about anytime other than Friday or Saturday night is
usually pretty quiet and the smoke level is minimal.
It is a bit of a drive from Ft. Collins, but the next 
time you're in Denver you should check it out.


Cheers,
