"A hot-pink brick exterior and garage door marks the entrance of Poison Girl, an iconic dive bar in Montrose. The inside is dark and barstools are scarce; sidle up, order a whiskey, and take it to a well-worn table near walls lined with old-school pinball machines, and photos and paintings of naked women. Better yet, head to the rear patio, where the oft-Instagrammed Kool-Aid Man presides over a lively crowd. You won't find artisanal shrubs or fresh herbs here, so stick with a basic cocktail or a well drink—they're strong and cheap, especially during happy hour. The whiskey list in particular is extensive." - Marcy de Luna
