About Us

Bender’s at the Ice Centre is, simply put, the top sports bar on the Boulder Turnpike, with awards to prove it. Bender’s won a 2012 Best of Broomfield as the No. 1 sports bar in the area, and was one of only a handful of suburban venues cited by Channel 7’s A List as a Top 10 sports bar in the metro area. Owner Jim Armstrong, a former Denver Post sports columnist and talk-show host on ESPN radio and The Fan, knows what fans want in a top-shelf sports bar.

Bender’s has 28 HD big screens, including a signature 70-incher and seven 50-inchers above the bar, plus eight tables that overlook the Green rink in the Ice Centre. And the food is unbeatable, from the best wings in Westy to nachos, burgers, salads and pizza. There are 32 beers on tap, including several Colorado microbrews, with prices starting starting at four dollars. The game room features two pool tables, various video games and, of course, Air Hockey. No wonder local residents routinely pack the place on weekends. And no, it isn’t a coincidence that the Coloradans for Nebraska chose Bender’s as one of the group’s official watch sites in the metro area.

Bender’s also operates Bender’s at the Ballpark at nearby Christopher Fields and hosts parties and catering events from intimate gatherings to major corporate outings. There’s lots of room to roam, with seating for 200-plus inside and 80 on our dog-friendly patio overlooking the Promenade Lake. Stop by the patio during a walk through the Promenade or nearby City Park and one of our staffers will take great care of you and spoil your four-legged friends with water and treats. Add it all up and there’s no better place than Bender’s to watch a game, hang with friends or just grab a cold brewski on a hot summer day.
