The Bomb Head Shop

The Bomb Head Shop has built a serious reputation among Denver's glass crowd, and once you've been in you understand why. It's a small shop, but the variety packed into that space surprises just about everyone who walks through the door. Locals will tell you the glass selection is the real draw here, from pipes and water pipes to dab rigs, bangers, carb caps, and reclaim collectors. You'll find Puffco and Tony Dabtana on the shelves, along with grinders, vaporizers, and the everyday accessories like butane and q-tips that keep regulars coming back.

Ask anyone who shops here and the conversation turns to the staff pretty quickly. Mark gets named again and again for tracking down exactly what people want, even the hard-to-find stuff. Dom (also called Dominic) has a knack for problem-solving and smoothing out exchanges, and more than one person has walked out with an awesome rig and a good conversation to go with it. Unique gets credit for greeting folks with a smile before they're even through the door, which says a lot in a world where some shops make you feel like you're in the way.

One regular put it simply after driving up from Fort Collins on a recommendation: great glass, service, great price, 10 out of 10. The value here is a big part of the story. People who shop here swear by the prices, and the word around Denver is that the stuff holds up to the deals. The 4/20 sale is apparently something to plan around if you're in the market for a new rig.

We've heard the odd grumble about a slow afternoon at the counter, but that's the exception, not the rule. If you're near Colfax, it's worth stopping in and supporting them through the construction. Parking can be a little tight, but regulars will tell you it's never been enough to keep them away. For glass, accessories, and friendly help in Denver, this smoke shop earns the loyalty it has.
