Waterton Tavern

The Waterton Tavern’s website touts two things that are very important to tavern-goers: cold beer and big burgers. And while this bar, which is located in the Roxborough section of Littleton, excels at both of those things (there are ten different types of burgers), the place has even more to offer, including additional menu items […]

Wayne’s Smoke Shack

Colorado’s ’cue aficionados were devastated when, in December 2021, Wayne’s Smoke Shack in Superior was a victim of devastating winter wildfires. While the building that housed it remained standing, Wayne’s suffered severe smoke damage, and nearly all of the restaurant’s equipment had to be thrown out. But the Smoke Shack reopened at the beginning of […]

Wazee Supper Club

The Wazee predates all the hipness, all the gentrification of LoDo. But the bar has aged so well, no place works better when you need a place to crash-land for a couple of hours, a couple of years, a lifetime. It’s seen some famous faces (and has even been owned by one, John Hickenlooper), but […]

Weathervane Cafe

Everything about the Weathervane Cafe is as cute as can be. Situated in the bottom floor of a small house on Seventeenth Avenue, the interior seats a mere nineteen people; there are eye-catching flower arrangements, vases and ornamental items (some of them for sale) artfully placed on assorted surfaces, and pictures drawn by local schoolkids […]

Wednesday’s Pie

At Larimer Square, a set of stairs leads down to a tiny, brightly lit foyer with checkered floors. It’s just enough space to hold an old-fashioned pie counter, an antique register and a chalkboard menu that lists the daily pie specials: whole pies available for pick-up and slices that you can consume, possibly with a […]

Wee Katie’s

Six years after opening Katie Mullen’s on the 16th Street Mall, the bar’s owners took over the former biker-friendly Rockstar Bar and transformed it into the more upscale watering hole Wee Katie’s, which opened in early 2015. The 99-seat (not including two patios) Wee Katie’s has some of the feel of Katie Mullen’s, with a […]

Welton Room

This elegant bar originally opened in 2019, serving libations that were as much a show as a drink. The bartenders often use smoking wood chips, whipped foam, liquid nitrogen and other flair to create eye-catching concoctions. There was just one problem: The bar was on the small side, so in 2022 it expanded into the […]

Welton Street Cafe

For over two decades, the Dickerson family has kept the catfish, fried chicken, smothered pork chops and other soul-food specialties coming for hungry diners in Five Points – though it’s moved a few times since opening. In 2022, it shuttered its longtime home with plans to move into a new space. That process took longer […]

West End Tavern

The comfort food served at the West End Tavern is what would result if a fast-moving drunken picnic crashed headlong into a great neighborhood bar, with beach food and backyard barbecue tangling up with lawn-fete classics and powerful drinks. We’re talking sautéed greens and deviled eggs, roast-pork sandwiches, roast chicken and alcoholic root-beer floats — […]

Westbound & Down

Where else in Colorado can you drink beer in an alley? At Westbound & Down’s Free Market location in Denver, patrons can grab some of Colorado’s most award-winning beer and hang out in the well-kept Dairy Block alley. From IPAs to dark beers, spritzy lagers and Hefeweizen, Westbound manages to offer an array of top-notch […]

Westbound & Down Brewing Company

Westbound & Down is a brewpub that’s worth leaving Denver for, whether you’re drinking or not. It deals in sports-bar classics – nachos, pretzels, chili and burgers – and each dish is executed by an exacting hand, resulting in a menu that’s elevated in quality but not unnecessarily fancified. This food is immensely comforting, and […]

Westerkamps Steakhouse and Meat Market

When Chris Gonzales and his father-in-law, Jaime Rizo, bought an old building in an industrial section of north Denver over a decade ago, it housed a grocery store and meat market that had opened when the neighborhood was filled with Germans. The pair decided to keep the name, converting the shop into a meat market […]

Westfalen Hof

Eating in this museum of kitsch is like dining inside a cuckoo clock — one that smells faintly of beer and boiled cabbage and echoes with oompah music. But if you can get past the Old World shlock, you’ll enjoy fantastic views and food that’s primarily Germanic (with the occasional detour into other Eastern European […]

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot

This bar and restaurant near Coors Field is a favorite for its rooftop, collection of over ninety whiskeys, and its signature fried chicken. There’s also a great selection of shareable plates making this an ideal place for pre or post Rockies game meet-ups.

Whistle Pig Brewing Company

At Whistle Pig we have a wide variety of in-house brewed beers on tap, dog friendly patio, family-friendly environment, and an amazing full-menu with many selections to choose from. We hope to see you here!

White Fence Farm

There is only one reason to endure the carnival of shlock that is White Fence Farm, and that is the fried chicken, which is some of the best around. Granted, the place also has its own gift shop, playground and petting zoo — in addition to a menu of good ol’-fashioned American eats. But take […]
