Black Sky Brewery

In September 2013, Harry Smith, a longtime brewer at Breckenridge Brewery, opened Black Sky Brewery, just a block from his old employer and with Breckenridge’s full support. Black Sky, which dishes up Connecticut-style pizza along with its beer, was a long time in the making. As noted on its website, the brewery’s 23 taps feature […]

Blackbelly

After winning Top Chef in 2009, chef Hosea Rosenberg launched a food truck and catering company before opening Blackbelly in 2014. Now he’s expanded the business even more, creating what the team calls a “culinary campus” complete with an upscale dining area, private dining room, two patios, and a market that showcases its in-house butchering, […]

Blackbelly Market

Here’s another Boulder gem dedicated to doing food the old-fashioned way. Blackbelly Market is the breakfast-and-lunch spin-off of chef Hosea Rosenberg’s upscale dining room, Blackbelly, next door. Here you can grab a breakfast burrito brimming with green chile (a specialty of New Mexico native Rosenberg) or go whole hog with house-cured salumi, charcuterie, deli meats […]

Blackbelly Market

Blackbelly Market is the Denver outpost of the original in Boulder, which in turn is the breakfast-and-lunch spin-off of chef Hosea Rosenberg’s fine-dining restaurant Blackbelly. Here you can grab a breakfast burrito brimming with green chile (a specialty of New Mexico native Rosenberg) or go whole hog with house-cured salumi, charcuterie, deli meats and other […]

Blazing Chicken Shack II

This small spot tucked a block off Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard may not look particularly welcoming from the outside, with its caged-in windows and barred door, but you’ll find warm hospitality inside Blazing Chicken, along with a menu full of homestyle Southern classics. From the fried chicken to the gumbo to sides like mac […]

Blue Bonnet Mexican Cafe

Blue Bonnet may not serve the most authentic Mexican food in town, but a meal here has been an authentic Denver experience for decades. You can eat that meal in the modest dining room, the colorful bar or out on the patio — which has grown to the size of a beach over the years […]

Blue Island Oyster Bar

The interior of Blue Island Oyster Bar captures the feel of a New England seafood house, albeit with Cherry Creek influences. Weathered chairs and barstools contrast with a sleek and clean-lined oyster bar, while dim architectural light fixtures shed a rippling, underwater glow on mural-sized maps and photos. The menu toes the same line, with […]

Blue Moon Asian Grill and Sushi Bar

Blue Moon is rather pretty in a recycled way. The A-frame structure gives the place a pagoda feel that’s ideal for a roster of Asian dishes: Chinese egg rolls, Vietnamese spring rolls and Thai summer rolls, edamame and lo mein, Thai curries, kung pao chicken, lettuce wraps and beef in Sriracha. Everything is made fresh […]

Blue Moon Brewing Company

Denverites sure do love their Blue Moon; ever since the beer debuted in 1995 at the Sandlot at Coors Field, people haven’t been able to get enough of the crafty brew. And the Blue Moon Brewing Company, which opened in north Denver in July 2016, aims to give the people what they want: more Blue […]

Blue Moon Brewing Company @ the Sandlot

The Blue Moon Brewing Company @ the Sandlot has been Denver’s most unusual brewery since it debuted inside Coors Field in 1995; located in a hundred-year-old warehouse that was incorporated into the architecture of the stadium, the Sandlot was only open to Rockies ticket holders on game days for many years. But in 2013, the […]

Blue Pan Pizza

Denver embraced Detroit-style pizza when Blue Pan Pizza debuted in 2015 in West Highland. Chef Jeff “Smoke” Smokevitch and partner Giles Flanagin now run three Blue Pan locations, serving rectangular pies built on an airy, crackly crust with Wisconsin brick cheese and a thick, tangy sauce. And while the pizza competition – Detroit-style and otherwise […]

The Blue Parrot Restaurant

For almost a century, people have been coming to the Blue Parrot for spaghetti and meatballs, for ravioli and sausage sandwiches, for simple Italian food cooked by the same family for generations. And though Louisville itself is changing — from an old mining town to a bedroom community — the Blue Parrot is not. Even […]

Blue Spruce Brewing Company

Rick Kane, a former biology teacher, opened Blue Spruce Brewing in April 2014 in Centennial, making it one of the few craft brewpubs in the area. The spot offers Mazatlan-style Mexican fare featuring fresh vegetables and very few fried items, as well as classic pub dishes. Blue Spruce serves a number of its own custom […]

Bluepoint Bakery

Bluepoint Bakery, founded in 1987 by chefs Fred Bramhall and Mary Clark, was once one of the town’s top retail bakeries, with a storefront that exuded good smells up and down Sixth Avenue. Today, Bluepoint continues to bake from its wholesale spot in north Denver, delivering breads, rolls, muffins, Danish, pies, cakes and tortes to […]
