If you're looking for a place to watch the Denver Nuggets make their playoff debut against the L.A. Clippers on Saturday, we've got you covered.

Zoom in: We've picked five local restaurants and bars to cheer the team on as they embark on the 2025 NBA Playoffs.

Chopper's Sports Grill

Home to a giant projection screen, this Cherry Creek hideout is centrally located and has a Nuggets connection: It's named after former team trainer Robert "Chopper" Travaglini, who co-founded the bar and eatery.

Brooklyn's at Ball Arena

About as close as you can get to being in Ball Arena without the ticket prices, this venerable restaurant is usually packed on game days, so try to get there early.

Denver Union Station

The iconic train station will serve as the team's playoff headquarters this series, including pre-game rallies two hours before every home game, and hosting a Nuggets Gold Mine Bar with specialty drinks.

Jackson's LoDo

This restaurant and bar across from Coors Field will turn midnight blue and sunshine yellow for the Nuggets, hosting watch parties for every playoff game.

Stoney's Bar & Grill

Stoney's Lincoln Street location presents SuperMascot Rocky and the Denver Nuggets Dancers during select away games, with chances for fans to win Nuggets-themed prizes.
