Platt Park Brewing/Gates Deli

Platt Park Brewing only sold suds until 2019, when it presciently added a walk-up window out of which it served sandwiches courtesy of Gates Deli.

Pop’s Place

Longtime Denver chef Stephen Kleinman and sausage impresario Jim Pittenger, founder of Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs, teamed up to open an all-day eatery in the Ballpark neighborhood on April 1, 2016 – a decision that Pittenger said would allow him to say “April Fool’s!” if things didn’t work out. But no foolin’, the duo is […]
