Walk into the NEW Argonaut and prepare to be ignored. The guys that work the floor are nice enough, but tend to be clueless if you really need advice on a wine pick. I've been there several times over the holidays hoping maybe I was there on an off day, but what it comes down to is the management is extremely old school. There is usually the same middle-aged man sitting at the center of the store and if you are under 50 he wants nothing to do with you and will try to send you to a younger store clerk. The mid-aged guy needs the boot. He has ""old-timey liquor store"" written all over him. Until the Argonaut deals with management like this guy they won't push past ""the dusty old liquor store your drunk uncle likes to patronize"" image. Pros: selection Cons: service more

Unfortunately there are no good liquor stores in Denver, and Argonaut is no exception. Although they are usually much cheaper than the mom-and-pop stores around town, you cannot walk in, buy some brew and expect to drink it once you get home. Their beer cooler is a "cooler" in name only, as you can expect to have to chill it for an hour before drinking. If you are commuting from the 'Burbs I highly recommend stopping at Total Beverage (cheaper, better selection), Arrow Liquormart, Davidson's, or any of the other mega liquor stores on they way home instead. By the way there is nothing "convenient" on Colfax. Pros: Selection, price Cons: Bitter clerks, more bitter stock people, warm beer, terrible parking, requiring your first born child as a deposit on kegs/taps more
