While Denver was once known as a steakhouse town, that reputation gave way over a decade ago as the dining scene tried to shed its cowtown image. But A5 is no step backward. Instead, it offers just the right balance of retro-inspired design elements with a modern approach to sourcing. A5 is primed for special occasions and go-all-out and blow-your-budget meals, but it would also work for a drink after work, so don't be intimidated by the "steakhouse" label. This spot is something you're going to want to bite into, whether it's a porterhouse kind of night or you just need a properly made Manhattan.
