While Swanky’s is only a stone’s throw from Coors Field, this sports bar is hailed as Denver’s home for Green Bay Packers football. During football season, expect swarms of Cheeseheads on Sundays, but once baseball season starts it’s a comfortable spot to watch the game or grab drinks before or after the Rockies games. Don’t […]

Tap Fourteen opened its second Denver beer bar in January 2018, following the original on the rooftop of Hayter’s at 1920 Blake Street. This one is on street level, so it lacks the views of the LoDo location, but the wrap-around patio makes an ideal spot for neighbors and their pooches to wander in for […]
After a long run on the second-floor corner of 15th and Champa streets, Tarantula Billiards moved to street level a block east in early 2012, giving the pool hall much more visibility. The new space has a sleek and classy look, closer to that of sister pool hall ZanZibar Billiards and Grill, which is owned […]
It’s no secret that Lakewood (and, while we’re at it, Wheat Ridge) is a vast culinary labyrinth of chains and uninspiring independent restaurants that force suburbanites to empty their change in downtown meters. And that’s what inspired Larimer Associates COO Joe Vostrejs, his brothers Steve and Matt, and Rod Wagner, acquisitions and project management partner […]
Three Sisters gets a serious lunchtime rush from downtown office workers in need of a fast, well-made sandwich, or a bowl of one of the house’s half-dozen scratch soups. Service is fast and efficient. If you want it quick, competent and cheap, Three Sisters delivers. And if you’re not sure what’s simmering away in the […]
There’s something about this Highland eatery that makes you feel like you’ve been here before, perhaps years ago, long before restaurateur Jesse Morreale opened the laid-back lounge. That’s partly because of the 1950s American theme he’s used in the space, which gives it a well-worn aura and a comfortable vibe. But the Thunderbird also feels […]

?The affable man who owns Tia Maria treats his customers like royalty, which is reason enough to plop your butt down in a cushy booth and spend the afternoon slumped over shots, which he doles out in frequent doses. The tequila syllabus is impressive — and so are the tasting notes that accompany it — […]
You might not know the name Tom Ryan, but you’ve probably heard of Smashburger, the fast-casual concept he founded in Denver in 2007. Smashburger has been a smashing success, and in 2012 Ryan put his name and know-how behind another venture: Tom’s Urban. Launched in a sunny, two-story space on a prime corner of Larimer […]
Topgolf is the only entertainment center of its kind, offering competitive golfing games for all ages and skill levels that you can play year round. Players hit golf balls containing computer microchips that track each shot’s accuracy and distance while awarding points for hitting targets on the outfield. Each facility offers an upscale and playful […]
Let the businessmen watch their portfolios while you peruse this menu of good, old-fashioned, solid restaurant fare. Fat steaks, hearty soups, respectable burgers and somewhat anachronistic fresh-fish selections make this a great place to dine when a meal, and not the show, is what you’re after. Lunch is always packed; dinner is more sedate. Another […]

Serving Coloradans fast-casual-sized, chile-bathed burritos at fast-food prices, Twisters Burgers and Burritos is a welcome transplant from our friendly neighbors in New Mexico, with four locations in metro Denver. Twisters is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner: In the morning, have a breakfast burrito with egg, potato, chorizo and red chile; at lunch a burrito […]
Twisters, a New Mexico-based chain, has four locations in metro Denver. But even though it’s a chain, it doesn’t serve fast food — as evidenced by its lengthy, made-to-order menu. You can get burritos of the breakfast, specialty or build-your-own variety, plus enchiladas, combination platters, New Mexican specialties and such American favorites as burgers and […]
Two Penguins Tap and Grill, which opened in Centennial in April 2015, has 36 rotating beers on tap – the focus is on Colorado craft versions – and serves a decent selection of locally distilled spirits. The kitchen serves up American fare, including appetizers, burgers, pizzas and salads, as well as specials like barbecued pulled […]
When it was unveiled just before the start of the 2013 baseball season, ViewHouse immediately upped the ante on entertainment in the Ballpark neighborhood. Lotus Clubs founder Francois Safieddine bought the former Nisei Veterans post, which for decades had housed Mori Japanese Restaurant, and raised the roof – literally – to transform it into a […]
When it was unveiled just before the start of the 2013 baseball season, ViewHouse Ballpark immediately upped the ante on entertainment in the neighborhood. Lotus Clubs founder Francois Safieddine clearly had a winner on his hands. Just over a year later, he opened ViewHouse Centennial in the former Rhythms/Trail Dust Steakhouse location, and it didn’t […]

You know you’ve become an American icon when you make regular appearances in Larry the Cable Guy’s standup routine, and by that standard, Waffle House is the Elvis Presley of Interstate dining. With more than 1,400 franchises in 25 states (including Denver / Boulder), this Georgia-based breakfast joint, founded in 1955, is among a handful […]
A former cowboy bar that now caters to families, the Warhorse is one of Parker’s oldest eateries. The portions of chicken-fried steak, baby-back ribs and fair Mexican fare are large enough to satisfy the appetites of ranch hands fresh from twelve hours of cattle-herding.
Dubbed “your best friend’s bar,” the Watering Bowl is a dog-friendly spot housed in the former Priddy Auction Galleries space on Leetsdale Drive. Although dogs aren’t actually allowed inside of the 13,000-square-foot bar, there are 7,000 additional square feet outside for a fenced-in private dog park. The Watering Bowl has a fully stocked regular bar […]
