If you’re looking for a classic bowling alley with an old-school flavor, you’ll score with Elitch Lanes, an old-time spot in northwest Denver. With good prices and a friendly staff, this is a great spot for birthday parties, banquets and reunions, or just hanging out with a bunch of friends.
When you’re in the mood to dine with distinction, there’s no better place than Ellyngton’s. Tucked into a corner of the Brown Palace, this restaurant is all old-world swank and old-school class – a bastion of the sort of jacket-and-tie dining that’s becoming rare in this fast-casual world. Prices are expensive, but the experience is […]
From the great outside patio, Emerald Isle has a biker bar/roadhouse vibe — but inside, there’s a total role reversal, with a pleasant dining room and bar, caricatures of regulars on the walls and friendly service. The music is good (if Metallica and ’90s alterna-metal is your thing), and the food can be great: Americanized […]
The Farm House at Breckenridge Brewery, the 8,000-square-foot restaurant on the twelve-acre, $36 million Breckenridge Brewery campus in Littleton, is nothing like the tap houses of yore. If not for the barn-like architectural elements – a vaulted ceiling, big windows and corrugated metal on the walls – the main dining room could pass for a […]

Chef Tim Payne teased us with a food truck and a fast-casual counter inside Avanti Food & Beverage before landing a brick-and-mortar for his farm-fresh fare in Lyons earlier this year. Farmer Girl’s cozy dining room on the town’s Main Street is like a miniature display case for Payne’s colorful creations built from seasonal vegetables […]
There’s no typifying the fare at Fat Boy’s. The sheer size of the bar and grill’s menu matches its name, with dishes that range from salads to seafood, burritos to full barbecue platters. The bar includes a digital jukebox, two pool tables, a spacious patio for smokers and a daily offering of drink specials — […]
Micky Manor was a north Denver staple for decades before the dive bar succumbed to the ravages of time in 2011. But the Fed breathed new life into the space in 2013, giving the neighborhood a casual, inviting saloon with a nod to history. The Art Deco bar stretches toward a back room where you […]
Situated in a strip mall on the corner of Jewell Avenue and Kipling Parkway, Fiddlesticks is a no-frills sports dive with plenty of TVs, a couple of pool tables, fairly cheap drinks, and a menu that includes a decent selection of bar food like burgers, wings and appetizers. Although Fiddlesticks gets its share of regulars […]
This wing joint with a jam-band soul opened in West Highland in 2012 and added a Wash Park outpost in 2019. Yes, the wings are on the small side; that’s because FOTM uses only cage-free, antibiotic-free chicken, along with making other environmentally conscious moves like composting all of its food scraps and recycling its cooking […]

Are you new to craft beer? Want to try an ounce or two of different styles — from the standard to the exotic — without committing to an entire glass? What if you’re a beer geek and want to ensure that you get a sip of that special release? This RiNo tap room offers the […]
The Fort is a theme restaurant. Sure, it’s been called better things (a museum of culinary history, a gastronomic time capsule) and worse things (the fabulous obsession of one of the New West’s great hucksters), but it’s still a theme restaurant – part Old West reliquary, part Planet Hollywood with cowboys. The servers all wear […]
Those in the know in the Denver Tech Center area have one destination in mind when they’re looking for a quick salad made with quality ingredients. That’s why there’s always a line at Fourleaf Chopped Salads, which is tucked away in a strip mall off an I-25 frontage road in a below-street-level storefront that you’d […]
Commerce City is hardly a restaurant utopia, and Gala Gardens isn’t exactly the first joint that floats into your head when you’re lusting after a brick of beef. But it should be, because the steaks — of which there are several, including a hefty 25-ounce porterhouse, a 22-ounce T-bone, a couple of New York strips […]

After many unexpected delays, Gary Lee Bomar finally opened Gary Lee’s Motor Club and Grub in 2012, in a formerly run-down garage space that was refurbished and transformed into a vintage, car-themed roadhouse with a great patio. Remember to check out the decorative detail while you chow down on a smoked Portobello sandwich or pulled […]
Thirteen miles down-valley from Vail sits the Gashouse, in what was once an actual gas station. The walls are filled with trophy animals, and the waitstaff are dressed like extras from Heidi, but the unfettered fare carries a lower price tag than most of the stuff at the ski resort — and it’s good, too. […]
Heather Alcott’s Glaze in Congress Park is known for circular cakes called baumkuchen that bake one layer at a time on a horizontal rod. The place opens at 9 a.m. every morning as a bakery cafe featuring tarts, macarons, coffee drinks and of course, baumkuchen — a Japanese-German hybrid that requires a special oven (Alcott […]
A picturesque ten-mile drive from downtown Boulder, the Gold Hill Inn has a rich history dating back to the gold rush days — and it recently survived the Fourmile Canyon fire, to boot. Dinner here is served in six courses: an appetizer; soup and salad; a main course chosen from pork, lamb, venison, rabbit, duck […]
