No. 95: Schweinshaxe at Rhein Haus A LoDo restaurant specializing in beers by the liter and indoor bocce ball hardly seems like the kind of place to run into proper, traditional German fare.

The rapid-fire opening of small brewery taprooms may have slowed down in Denver, but don’t tell that to Will Curtin and Chris Kirk, who have leased a tiny, former auto-body shop on Broadway where they will open a brewery dedicated to barrel-aged beers. Located just a block from Baere Brewing…
The Fiffitini at the Palm “I’ve been doing this drink for about eight years now,” says Chad Skrbina of a drink that isn’t even on a menu at The Palm. Nearly a decade ago, a group of people wandered into his bar and requested that he make a drink just…

Some longtime Denver restaurants — Andre’s Confiserie Suisse, Le Central, Rosa Linda’s Mexican Cafe — closed in 2015, and Denver’s losing some of its newer favorites, too — places that people with pets were particularly partial to.

If you’ve ever have one of those days when you have to drag yourself out of the house to get food (because the only thing in the god-forsaken fridge is flat champagne), but you’re so hung over you don’t want to see or be seen by anyone, then you know…
For the bartenders who worked everyone else’s holiday party, it’s time to celebrate the season.
