My Brother's Bar occupies a building that has served as a bar continuously since 1873, though the current identity dates to 1970 when Jim and Angelo Karagas, transplants from Detroit, took over what had been known as Whitey's. The name traces back to their early days running the place as a two-man operation, trading off bar and kitchen duties, and telling vendors it was "my brother's bar" when payment came due.
The menu centers on burgers — the Steerburger, Cheeseburger, and Jalapeño Cream Cheese Burger among them — alongside deli-style sandwiches like the Bum Steer (pastrami, salami, ham, and cheese) and a full bar pouring liquor, wine, and rotating draft beer. A newer brunch menu adds a breakfast burrito and breakfast burger to the lineup.
The restaurant has built a reputation as a Denver institution and neighborhood fixture in Highland, drawing regulars and visitors alike to its dive bar atmosphere and customizable burger menu.
