New owners have brought a new menu along with a new cleanliness regimen to the former dark, divey Hoffbrau, now renamed 1301 Santa Fe Bar & Grill. The rooftop smoking deck and wooden floor of the dining room got a good scrubbing, and the kitchen and interior underwent several much-needed repairs. The result is a […]
Longevity is an important word in any restaurateur’s lexicon. Every house wants to see its ten-year anniversary in the rearview; most never get there. But 240 Union — the New American outpost founded in 1989 by Michael Coughlin, Noel Cunningham and chef Matt Franklin — is still going strong, because this restaurant has never just […]
Turn off your cell phones (no, really – turn ’em off) and leave the kids with a sitter, because the fun-loving Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, which made its Colorado debut in spring 2013 at Aspen Grove in Littleton, came with a movie-party reputation. The Austin, Texas-based chain offers a variety of programming, from genre film to […]
Nearly four years in the making, the Alamo Drafthouse is finally expanding beyond its first Colorado location deep in Littleton with a new flagship in Denver along the West Colfax corridor. The new Alamo Sloan’s Lake is the first big piece of a major redevelopment of the historic neighborhood and the first cinema – complete […]

When you stumble off the 16th Street Mall and into the Appaloosa, a cheerful, independently owned spot, odds are good that you’ll hit a happy hour, because the Appaloosa’s happy-hour schedule is expansive — almost as expansive as the drinks are inexpensive. And you can down those drinks while listening to live music every night […]
Modernity is not a virtue at Arap’s Old Gun Shop, where mounted game heads hold court over day-drinkers and night-crawlers. A classic Englewood dive hunkered down in an old gun-supply store, Arap’s offers inexpensive no-frills swill and bar snacks, such as jalapeno poppers, wings and pizza. If you want fancy, you obviously didn’t heed the […]
Named for the Arsenal soccer team’s fan store, the Armoury opened in early 2013 as an Old World pub that focused on soccer, spirits heavy on beer and browns, and a live-music lineup featuring punk, post-punk and indie-rock acts. But within a year of opening, the bar was focusing less on soccer, and the live […]
The Arvada Tavern opened in 1933, not long after the repeal of Prohibition, and was issued the first liquor license in Arvada. A dive for decades, the tavern received a facelift in 2013 under new ownership while still holding on to the building’s vintage charm. More upscale now, it serves a variety of vintage cocktails […]
Playing guinea pig to students learning the restaurant ropes isn’t painful when you do it in this tastefully decorated dining room. The service and food vary according to the caliber of the employees — students rotate through every possible position — but things generally run smoothly, and the prices are good for the quality.

The neighborhood around the University of Denver is home to many student-oriented hangouts — and Atticus, a new project by Table to Tavern, which also owns Boone’s Tavern next door, was originally conceived as “a bar with shared plates,” says Table to Tavern CEO Brian Midtbo. But after Atticus opened in February 2014, people kept […]
While the basic idea of combining food and a film is a good one, the Movie Tavern — part of a multi-unit, meals-and-movies chain out of Texas — is the McDonald’s, Olive Garden and T.G.I. Friday’s of the industry all rolled into one. That’s fine if your idea of a great flick is Independence Day […]
Avogadro’s Number in Fort Collins could be described as offbeat and off the beaten track. The venue’s warmly lit stage area is painted with a stunning mural that circles the room with people, stars and planets, and the crowd reflects the folksy, friendly vibe of the music calendar: lots of bluegrass, country and rock acts, […]
With darker paints and wood-panel lined walls, the Bank Bar & Grill epitomizes a traditional Colorado bar and eatery. The menu features conventional pub food served late into the evening; the bar is filled with a number of Colorado brews on tap at all times; and a number of games line the rear of the […]
Long a staple in the Midwest, the Bar Louie chain has landed in Colorado. At the Shops at Northfield, Bar Louie is the perfect spot for a mid-shopping beer; it also makes a great holding pen for husbands waiting out a long run by their significant others. The menu features such bar standards as wings […]
After this spot’s long run as the Atrium Bar & Grill, new owners took it over, cleaned it up and made it into a respectable neighborhood watering hole called the Bar. As the name might imply, it’s a no-frills joint where pretty much anyone is welcome. While the bar on the south side of the […]

Once home to both O.P. Baur Confectionery Company (in the late 1800s) and Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar (in the early 2010s), the building at 1512 Curtis Street has a long history. In spring 2015, the Baur’s name got a reboot with Baur’s Restaurant and Listening Lounge, a multi-concept restaurant and music venue that […]
The mission of the creative staff at BDT Stage is to offer “Broadway-quality” theatrical entertainment at non-Broadway prices. Ordinarily, a statement like that might promote snickers from anyone who takes their theater seriously, but the cast and programming can hold a candle to more expensive productions any day of the week. The theater showcases four […]
Owner Martha Koch took over Bear Creek Tavern in 1980, when it was still a country-fried roadhouse and bona fide biker bar. Today, their locals’ clubhouse is a full-on restaurant. There’s still plenty of character, but the Koches have upped the quality of what comes out of their kitchen. Look for hearty breakfasts, good steaks […]
