99 BAR SALOON 449 Main St., Longmont, 720-815-2875
Louisville Winner: Cultivate Kitchen The “99 Bar” brand goes back four generations, starting with Frank Gafner selling his first cow in 1930. Frank’s son Randy used the brand on all his cattle, and now, Frank’s grandson, Sean, is using the name to “brand” his watering hole, 99 Bar Saloon. If you know their history, you know the Gafner family takes beef seriously, which is why 99 Bar Saloon uses only grass-fed meat from Longmont’s Buckner Family Ranch to make hamburgers. And they’ve made sure to curate a bar menu full of nectarous cocktails and delectable beers to wash those burgers down with.
