The Denver Broncos will host the Kansas City Chiefs at Empower Field at Mile High on 16 Nov 2025. Kickoff is at 2:25 pm in Denver. Any time the Chiefs visit, Denver wakes up early. It is an AFC West rivalry, it has Patrick Mahomes on one side and a Broncos crowd that wants to beat red at home. Parking lots fill fast. People come in orange, some in red, and the city feels like football for the whole afternoon. A lot of fans like to start downtown or near the stadium, watch the early games, talk about the weather and then head to Mile High together. Stoney’s Bar and Grill has become the spot for that. It is a Denver classic, it is built for sports. It knows what a Broncos Sunday looks like and it knows this game is bigger than a normal home date.
Stoney’s Is How Denver Starts A Football Day
Stoney’s sits in the heart of Denver so it is easy to reach, even for people coming from outside the city. From there it is a quick ride to Empower Field. Inside, every wall has a screen. On Broncos days they put the sound on the Denver game and keep the other NFL games up. It is common to see full tables in orange eating and watching at 11 am. People tell friends to meet there because everyone in town knows where it is. It is a local bar but it is also friendly to visiting fans. Chiefs fans can walk in, grab a seat and talk ball. Staff moves quick and they have the game on. That is why it works so well before a rivalry.
“You can hear Broncos talk at every table in here.” – said a fan.
What Happens After The Final Whistle
A good Broncos Sunday does not end at the stadium. Many people like to ride back to Stoney’s, cool down and watch the late game. The bar is ready for that. They have the best menu that includes wings, burgers, fries, Denver beer and a game on every screen. People break down the result, play by play. If the Broncos win, it turns into a loud room with people singing and posting clips. If the Chiefs win, it turns into a therapy room where fans say what has to change. Either way it still feels like the right place to be. Stoney’s keeps that neighborhood sport feeling that fits Denver.
