Wok Spicy

Before it closed in 2023, Twin Dragon was a staple for Chinese eats in Englewood for nearly fifty years. The space sat empty for just over a year before another locally owned Chinese restaurant debuted – but this one specializing in Szechuan fare alongside American Chinese classics. Opt for the enormous cumin-lamb bao buns, crunchy […]

Wokano Asian Bistro

Wakano’s menu offers a broad spread of traditional Asian dishes on a board bulked up with a generous serving of Americanized Chinese favorites. It’s a solid neighborhood spot for those craving Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese all together in one place.

The Wolf’s Tailor

A zero-waste mission with an emphasis on grain drives this Michelin-starred tasting-menu restaurant from Kelly Whitaker’s Id Est Hospitality group, which includes its own milling operation, Dry Storage. In the fall and winter, the menu is spurred by a focus on fermentation and other preservation methods inspired by centuries-old techniques from around the world, while […]

Wonderbowl Vietnamese Restaurant

Wonderbowl Vietnamese Restaurant comes from the owners of the respected Pho Duy, its sister restaurant next door on South Federal Boulevard. Wonderbowl expands Pho Duy’s menu, with Vietnamese-style steaks, Western-style pastas and stews, and more. Aside from these unexpected offerings, Wonderbowl has all the noodles, pho and boba expected from a place with the Pho […]

Wonderland Brewing Company

Bigger is better at Wonderland Brewing. Though their beers may be small-batch and handcrafted, their tap room/brewery in Broomfield is a 9,000-square-foot wonderland with a beer garden, patio, giant tasting room, ping-pong tables — even a basketball court. But people really come for the beer. With Belgian-style and barrel-aged English-style brews and high-IBU India Pale […]

The Woodcellar Bar & Grill

The Woodcellar Bar & Grill is a cozy neighborhood spot near Bergen Park. The bar features a decent list of brews and spirits, and the restaurant serves a nice selection of sandwiches, salads and entrees like salmon, steak, pasta, burgers, fish and chips. The Woodcellar is one of the few places in Evergreen to offer […]

Wooden Spoon Cafe & Bakery

Open the door at Wooden Spoon Cafe & Bakery, and you’ll be hit by a blast of dessert-perfumed air, the sound of regulars chatting in line and a view of the chalkboards listing that day’s offerings. Husband-and-wife team Jason and Jeanette Burgett worked in the restaurant industry for years before opening the Wooden Spoon in […]

The Wooden Table

The view through the Wooden Table’s windows might not be much, but Brett Shaheen’s food is a stunning sight. Shaheen, who’d worked in the kitchen at Osteria Marco, opened the Wooden Table in September 2011 with business partner Jane Duncan Knauf; the two had met years earlier at a LoDo restaurant. But instead of inking […]

Woodgrain Bagels

What started out as a simple Boulder bagelry in May 2017 rapidly expanded to a trio of cafes by November 2018, with locations added in Lowry and at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The centerpiece of all three is the Montreal-style bagel – a bit smaller than its NYC-style cousin, topped only by […]

Woodie Fisher

The restaurant built into the transformed Hose Company No. 1 building downtown got off to a rocky start in 2019, parting ways with its opening chef and going into an extended soft-opening mode until a replacement could take over. But chef Franco Ruiz is no second-stringer; he came to the restaurant after six years at […]

Woody’s Wings 2

Woody’s kitchen does wings by the ten-count, in sauces that range from mild (pretty much just butter with a kiss of hot sauce) to hot (which isn’t that hot, but biting enough to call for a cool cup of blue-cheese dressing) to nuclear. The dining room is just a white box festooned with sports pennants, […]

Woody’s Wings N’ Things

Don’t let the name of this strip-mall joint (which is not affiliated with the Aurora or Arvada locations of Woody’s) fool you: This is one of the metro area’s best Asian eateries, in disguise. The menu – a literal binder – is full of dishes with roots in the Indochina peninsula, from duck larb to […]

Work & Class

In 2014, chef Dana Rodriguez co-founded Work & Class in a space created from recycled shipping containers in a part of town that wasn’t known as a hot spot – yet. A decade later, it still draws crowds in now-bustling RiNo. Rodriguez has gone on to make other big moves, including overseeing the culinary revamp […]

Wyman’s No. 5

A self-proclaimed “Chicago” bar, Wyman’s No. 5 has all the trimmings of a Windy City spot: The Bears, Blackhawks and Cubs all get television priority on game days, and an extensive menu overflows with Chicago-style dogs and both deep-dish and tavern-style pizza options. But the neighborhood hangout is all Colorado in its attitude, with bartenders […]
