--Not having been there, I Googled Crash 45, but its web site has been "suspended." Here's something from YELP; it indeed sounds as cool as Bad Black Bob has described.
This is another secret hangout that I kinda don't want to write about because WE like going there so much and don't want to blow it and have the masses ruin our good times, but the people/artists who run the place, the staff that feeds us drinks, the preparers of their amazing food, and movie night organizer Queen deserve so much praise, I gotta do it. Crash 45 is almost like walking into a future, slammed with the past, time warp. You've got the robot watching you, built by Shane Evans, Owner and metal sculptor:
Among his other pieces are the cab of an old farm truck (forgive me car peeps, I'm usually pretty good at recognizing cars as I came from a car family,,,but can't recall right now THIS truck.) The bikes on the ceiling, the metal art and re life of metal things Shane brings to the place; its the coolest room to walk into with much to gaze upon. Hit up their website for the best pics of what is going on inside this bar. Shane is the metal extraordinaire.
This space was a Slavic speakeasy for 60 years, then the White Owl moved in and now its all Shane's. Funny how the Ukraine/Polish relations are still lingering here with the food...LOVE IT!!
We are always treated like friends when we go to Crash, Eleanor knows what we drink, she's awesome, and Patrick gave us the scoop on the Pierogie's. They come from the Polished Tavern, via Cezary Grosfeld who brings them by, made (I'm assuming) by the chef Marek Peczkowski, or perhaps Cezar himself, I don't care how they get to Crash, they are tasty love. Patrick also informed us that there is quite a wide array of pierogies at Polished, and we should hit it up on our journeying.
Crash has its own dark arts of food, Chef Wade Kirwin. Wade worked as executive chef at Vesta Dipping Grill . Sadly this community lost their friend Curtis Wade Caldwell of Vesta, suddenly, a few weeks ago. A big loss to the Denver restaurant scene of food collaborations and happy friendships. Send some love their way today. Here's Vesta's facebook page.
Getting off track here, which is easy, given this community of Denver and how intertwined they are and un-afraid to share. This is what I love. No one is afraid to divvy out a dish, throw in together on a meal, join forces and serve their unbelievable concoctions at one another's different venues. As long as its eaten and loved and shared by all, everybody wins.
The menu here at Crash is small and precise. Only the BEST. Besides vouching for the pierogies, I can also recommend diving into the Green Curry Bowl and the Crash Burger. The expanse of culture on this menu is fun, and proves itself in the pudding. Seen here before being completely devoured is a beautiful hunk of America and a bowl of Asian goodness. Whatever they do to the tofu in this Green Curry Bowl had me completely in love. I wanted to take some home in my purse. This ain't yer hippie's tofu.
Another fun thing we do here that I don't want you to know about is the Cruel Winter Film Series that Blood Thirsty-Theresa brings to Crash. Prepared with a deep love that only horror film fanatics have, there are souvenirs to take home with an extra CREEPY factor that I will not share because its so effing great to open these packages up. Cruel Facebook page here. 'The Thing' is up March 5th. Pull up a chair, bring a pillow, wear your jammies, enjoy. We sit on the floor with our blankets and video game chairs just like at home and Eleanor brings us our food and its like one big sleep over without actually sleeping over.
Walking Dead plays here every Sunday night at 7 with burger and drink special. These are some serious fans I hear, so don't fuck up their viewing and their sleep over fun.
This summer look for the Vintage and Custom Motorcycle night every Thursday. First Friday events/artists/Dj's happenings all year round. Sheesh. I don't want this place to sound any cooler so I'm going to stop now.
