The Farm House Restaurant at Breckenridge Brewery

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 […]

Farmer Girl Community Bistro

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 […]

Farmhouse Thai Eatery

Freshness and balance are the keys to great Thai cuisine, and this Lakewood kitchen, which opened in 2019, serves up both, whether in seasonal salads, rich curries and soups (don’t miss the incendiary khao soi) or enlivened classics, from the floating market noodle soup to the sublimely porky hang le curry. Everything is made from […]

Farro Restaurant

Farro is a classic strip-mall Italian eatery with a twist — veteran chef-owner Matt Franklin is behind the grill, bringing a fine-dining sensibility to all those plates of strozapretti, roasted salmon and Tuscan meatloaf. Traditional pizzas and pastas are well represented, but there are a few surprises, like the seafood farro spiked with jalapenos. The […]

Fat Boy’s Sports Bar & Grill

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 — […]

Fate Brewing Company

When he opened FATE Brewing in January 2013, Mike Lawinski had a hunch that his two patios might be ideal for watching July 4 fireworks blasting off over Boulder’s Folsom Field. “We almost marketed it last year, but we wanted to test our theory first,” he says. The theory turned out to be correct. FATE’s […]

Federal Bar & Grill

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 […]

Fellow Traveler

Irreverent. International. Eclectic. Fellow Traveler’s drink menu mirrors the Englewood bar’s panache for quality and quirky vegan fare. Owner Joe Phillips, who recently became co-owner of his former employer, Sputnik, has a passion for housemade spirits – including his own version of Malört, the Chicago wormwood digestif with a cult following. You can opt for […]

Fiddlesticks

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 […]

Finn’s Manor

This indoor/outdoor craft-cocktail bar built on the grounds of an old salvage yard has a dedication to quality without the accompanying attitude. As one of Denver’s top temples of mixology, there’s almost always a bowl of punch on special, and the tap list is a continuing exploration of rare beer styles. While summer nights are […]

Fire Bowl Cafe

Based in Austin, Fire Bowl Cafe hasn’t expanded its reach too far beyond Texas – but Colorado has a single location, in Centennial, that fills up quickly with cubicle warriors during weekday lunches. And it’s easy to see why: The primary feature at Fire Bowl is a build-your-own-stir-fry concept, which lets you pick your protein, […]

Fire on the Mountain

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 […]
