A5 Steakhouse

Denver was long thought of as a cowtown, and the steakhouse was central to the cuisine. While many old-school steakhouses are still slinging meat, A5, which opened in 2021, stands out as a modern, lively take on the classic concept. We love this spot for more than just the steaks (though those are excellent). You’re also here for seafood towers, beef tartare in the form of a katsu sandwich with quail egg, rack of lamb, Japanese milk bread rolls and more, not to mention the upbeat energy that makes it pretty tempting to order a second — or third — martini.
