Later today we’ll post our Restaurant Roll Call for May, a compendium of all the openings and closings in town over the past month — and there have been plenty. But already, June is shaping up to be a very busy time for restaurants. Two new places have dates with…
Suffice it to say that I eat out more than the general population, unless, of course, the general population can catalogue more than 450 restaurant meals in a year — which is about the number of breakfasts, lunches and dinners that I stomached in 2012. Pathetic, isn’t it? But all…
Tickets to the FOOD & WINE Classic in Aspen — the mountain resort’s four-day culinary extravaganza that brings together world-renowned chefs and winemakers and the starstruck foodists who flock to town every June to catch a glimpse of their famous faces — sold out in record speed this year, but…
If you head to Boulder’s Chautauqua Park tomorrow to celebrate National Trails Day, you’ll find that the beautiful sights aren’t all outdoors. The circa 1898 Chautauqua Dining Hall has been renovated, a major project that involved removing the carpets and restoring the original wooden floors, adding two fireplaces, and installing…
Update: We have a winner of our Summer of Riesling tasting at Bones contest giveaway. Earlier this week, we asked Cafe Society readers to guess how many glasses of Riesling were served at Bones, Luca d’Italia and Mizuna during the month of April. Congrats to CBart, who guessed 420 glasses;…
I love the Ethiopian stews here, and whether your tastes bend toward vegetarian, or intensely aromatic meat dishes, this is a place to find an excellent Ethiopian feast…even if you’ll likely eat it in a dining room bereft of light. Can you guess where I’m eating? Special bonus: Anyone who…
When she chooses the restaurants she will review, Gretchen Kurtz balances many concerns. Is the restaurant located in a part of town she hasn’t written about lately? Does it serve a kind of cuisine she hasn’t reviewed lately? Is it expensive or economical? A celebrated spot or a secret? Is…
On the left, you’ve got the now sequestered Pretzel the Pig, Euclid Hall’s mascot, which was unceremoniously yanked from its perch during the Big Eat on Sunday, the details of which are all chronicled on the second page. On the right, you have the newly formed Euclid Hall posse –…
The stained glass windows will stay. So will the proprietary meatball, sausage and red sauce recipes. But Angelo’s Pizza is going to look and feel a lot different when its new owners reopen the Denver mainstay as Angelo’s Taverna in August. On March 1, Denver-area restaurant industry veterans Eric Hyatt…
Irish bars are known for being dark and often damp, but they are also supposed to reflect their neighborhoods, and the people who live in the Mayfair, Montclair and Park Hill neighborhoods don’t want “dark” when it comes to any new restaurant on Colfax. That’s why Glen Eastwood and Andrew…
Seven months after Tavern 13 reopened in a new spot three blocks south of its original home at 1312 South Broadway, the venue has closed its doors again. And as a going away-present, the city slapped a notice on the front window of the bar, advising that Tavern 13’s liquor…

I could spend all afternoon and night camped out at this lively watering hole, if for no other reason than the brews are some of the best in Denver — and the affable bartenders know how to pour them with precision, even with their eyes closed. Can you guess where…
Jimmy Bernat Jimmy’s Urban Bar & Grill 1530 Blake Street 303-298-5000 lodojimmys.com This is part two of my interview with Jimmy Bernat, exec chef of Jimmy’s Urban Bar & Grill; part one of our chat ran yesterday. Which chef has most inspired you? My dad pretty much got me into…
What’s in a name? Plenty, if you’re trying to plan a new bar — and find that another bar project has claimed the same name. Cliff and Zachary Young, the father/son team opening a new watering hole at 437 West Colfax Avenue, right around the corner from CY Steak, which…
Budapest BistroThe Budapest Bistro has closed after more than twenty years on South Pearl Street; the space will become a Mexican restaurant that will share ownership with nearby Gaia Bistro and Kaos. This is just one of the many changes on this strip of South Pearl; Izakaya Den left its…
Bayou Bob’s Restaurant & Bar, 1635 Glenarm Place, is now featuring fresh crawfish shipped from Louisiana every Thursday during happy hour. The seafood boil is accompanied by live music until 7 p.m. See also: – Ten restaurants that will bowl you over with New Orleans fare – Big Easy Creole…
Matt Selby didn’t set out to operate a cafeteria-cum-pantry for the RiverClay condominiums rising five stories above Corner House. But since he and his two partners unveiled this 1,250-square-foot eatery in January, that’s precisely what it’s become. “People would come down in their pajamas,” marvels Selby. Hugging the corner of…
A throng of thieves — or maybe it was just one holdup artist — got away with swine snatchery on Sunday, the day of EatDenver’s Big Eat bash, where forty restaurants, several wineries and breweries and more than a thousand revelers congregated at Sustainability Park…and that leaves the mud pit…
After more than two decades at 1585 South Pearl Street, the Budapest Bistro has closed its doors. The restaurant owned by Anna Hellvig, who was also the chef, had updated its look several years ago — but with all the other changes on South Pearl Street, the time looked right…
New Belgium Brewing just announced that construction of its new brewery in Asheville, North Carolina, will be delayed by eight months, meaning the facility may not start making beer until 2016. “The adjusted construction timeline is the result of increased capacity coming online in Fort Collins this year,” New Belgium…
I’ve apparently been duped…for decades! During dinner last night at a red-sauce Italian joint, I ordered “homemade” spaghetti and meatballs, only to learn from our server that the noodles aren’t homemade at all. It’s a carryover, he told me, from the old days, when spaghetti — the fat strands made…
