Denver ChopHouse & Brewery

Rock Bottom Restaurants steamrolled Denver years ago with its train-inspired microbrewery. But there's much more here than beer, including a snazzy dining room and a roster of well-executed dishes. There's nothing innovative about the classic steakhouse menu; you'll just find red meat in all its variations (strip, sirloin, porterhouse, filet), seared to perfection. Throw in a wedge salad, a baked potato and a Manhattan, and you've got an iconic American meal.
