as one of the mentioned generally cool denver folks, i should like to extend a preemptive welcome. :) i can't be of much assistance with regard to social hotspots, but if you dig coffee and such, i can personally recommend the 'buchi cafe cubano' as a location for chilling.
i'm presently within kicking distance of the I-25/6th Ave interchange. it's far enough from the city mayhem to keep what remains of my sanity, yet i can still admire the evening skyline from my couch.
The Mercury Cafe is awesome. A lady named Marilyn owns it and she is just this awesome witch hippie extraordinaire. She is very active politically and hosts many lefty type events. She also has an acting troupe called the Allied Witches League. You can find dance lessons from belly dance to swing. She used to donate space in the upstairs ballroom to Ad Astra once a month for whatever event we wanted to hold. She supports local growers and farmers for the restaurant and most of her food is organic and I believe almost everything there is gluten free. Her menu is a little bit pricey and the service is ungodly slow, but there is plenty of odd and unique decor to entertain yourself with while waiting. There is usually some sort of open mic thing going on almost every night of the week. She does not take credit cards, but she is happy to take your cash or your check. How's that for a plug? Oh, she is also one of the local pioneers of biofuel conversions for cars

Paris on the Platte is a cool place to chill (very gothy). There's a coffee house half (little kids) and a wine bar half (big kids). 1553 Platte.
If you like coffee houses, Stella's (1476 S. Pearl St) is also cool.
Governor's Park tavern is pretty cool too.
