I'm now also barbacking on Monday's and Thursdays. I'm really good at math, love Summer hiking, and prefer a good New York bagel (it's the water) over toast. I'm also attracted to shiny objects and like to shoot tequila or jagermeister, although turn into a pumpkin at midnight. Please drink responsibly and plan for a designated driver!"

Ray
Door Staff
As a Colorado native, I have been a fan of the Denver Wrangler for over 10 years and have been working here for the last year. During that time, I have made some life time friendships. You can normally catch me working Sundays during the Legendary Beer Bust. Big into cars and bikes or really anything with a motor and wheels,
you might catch me riding my Harley or in one of the hot rods. Always up for chatting with a cold beer with friends and spending as much time with my new family as I can.
Mike
Barback
"Probably the newest addition to the Wrangler, however I've been coming to this bar since I moved to Colorado from Virginia about 3 years ago. I love the laid-back atmosphere of the bar and since working here I have made a ton of great friends. I have a degree in Design Management and focus on graphic design and creative development. When I'm not reading, running with the dog (Echo my Siberian husky) playing video games or generally being a geek, I'm usually at the bar having a beer. I typically work Fridays and Saturdays, so come out and say Hi."
