The “SK” in Denver Central Market’s SK Provisions stands for longtime Denver restaurateur Sean Kelly, and even though he’s operating out of a simple market stall these days, Kelly’s fine-dining experience at Barolo Grill, Aubergine Cafe and Desmond shines through. There’s a deli counter of tasty prepared salads and sides, but the real draw of […]

One of Edgewater’s great neighborhood bars, Sloan’s Bar & Grill has attracted a steady stream of friendly locals since it opened in 2004. But with its reclaimed furniture, historic photos of Edgewater and warm, sepia-toned decor, the newish Sloan’s feels like a modern take on an old-time saloon. The grill’s offerings are a step above […]
Bar manager Grant Williams bought the Coral Room from his boss in the winter of 2014, then closed it for a few weeks for a remodel and menu revamp. Only a few months after that did he decide to relaunch the restaurant, as Small Wonder Food and Wine, a neighborhood bistro specializing in organic, local […]
Smashburger has all the affectations of a standard QSR operation: counter-ordering and tableside delivery, a fast and easily navigable menu, a simple and easily duplicatable decor. But it also has a far-from-standard burger: the namesake “smashburger,” a half-pound of ground, nicely fatty Angus beef that’s whacked onto the hot steel, producing a flood of meat […]

Fat, overstuffed sandwiches made on thick, chewy Il Fornaio breads, along with interesting panini combos and snappy service, make the Pickle a top stop for the local lunch crowds. And, of course, everything comes with a spicy pickle.
The moniker of this Greenwood Village bar pretty much sums up the place. The Sportsbook prides itself on showing just about every sporting event on its multiple flat-screen TVs (and projection screen), whether it’s football, hockey, basketball, baseball, rugby or UFC fights, and it’s one of the few spots in the Denver Tech Center area […]
There are plenty of sports bars in a town that bleeds orange and blue (and purple, black, blue, gold and/or burgundy when convenient). But alas, many of the options are milquetoast. The Spot eschews such perilous vanilla territory by function of location and size. It’s a consummate neighborhood joint, and the squeezed-in vibe leaves no […]

Stack gets its name from the precise layering of ingredients that gives each bite the same blend of ingredients. Sandwiches are built on oven-crisped breads — white, wheat, gluten-free or pretzel roll — and feature classic deli combos, like the house favorite Italian, stacked with Genoa salami, mortadella, pepperoni, hot capicola and provolone, as well […]
Forget the fact that Stella’s on 16th looks like a food court, albeit a very sunny one with a cool triangular community table and a patio with couches and fire pits. After all, even in our highly informal era, when chefs are just as likely to run fast-casuals as sit-downs, and when today’s food halls […]
Steuben’s was the first restaurant in town to jump on the mobile-food bandwagon, retrofitting an old lunch truck and sending it out onto the streets of Denver in the summer of 2010. The kitchen is tiny, but the flavors coming out of it are big. The crew serves up many of the specialties that are […]
During the annual National Western Stock Show, the Stockyard Saloon – located in a historic building in the heart of the old packinghouse district – is the hottest place in town. But this watering hole is worth a visit the rest of the year, too. The second-floor space offers an interesting view of the rapidly […]

Because of this spacious, eclectic eatery’s location in the heart of downtown’s convention and theater district, the menu offers all things for all people, including sushi, oysters, burgers and bar snacks. The real reason to check out Stout Street Social, though, is its happy hour. Food and drink specials are both are bountiful here, from […]
Noel Cunningham, who founded Strings in 1986, passed away on December 1, 2011. He was more than a cook; he was Denver’s culinary conscience. For well over two decades, he made very good food at Strings, his new-American restaurant and a true community institution. But he also funneled much of his energy into good works […]
When Sullivan Scrap Kitchen launched in 2020, its menu was built around casual, familiar food. The next year, its zero-waste approach earned it a spot on Bon Appétit’s “Heads of the Table” list, and its burger nabbed our Best of Denver award for Best Hamburger. As of fall 2024, it offers brunch and lunch four […]
