Thai Street Food Restaurant

Utumporn Killoran had been running the Thai Street Food Cart on the 16th Street Mall for years before she finally got her own brick-and-mortar spot in 2011 — a space in Aurora that she uses as a carry-out-only restaurant. Killoran hails from the Isaan region of Thailand, which is up north and close to the […]

Thank Sool Pocha

This hopping spot filled with people speaking both Korean and English is just plain fun. While it’s often filled with families digging into meals during the early evening hours, as the night grows later they’re supplanted by groups of all ages focused on knocking back tiny glasses of soju and enjoying everything from steamed sea […]

The 9th Door

This Capitol Hill incarnation of the 9th Door – and the only surviving one – opened at the end of 2013, featuring the same menu of Spanish tapas created by veteran chef-consultant Michael Wahaltere at the Lodo location. The new space is cozier than the cavernous original but is decorated in similar coppery hues, dark […]

The Cookery at Myrtle Hill

South Gaylord Street is packed with small businesses that draw in residents of the neighborhood, but none has as loyal a following as this spot that serves a homestyle menu of breakfast and lunch selections. The sister concept to Devil’s Food Bakery next door, the Cookery at Myrtle Hill underwent a renovation during the pandemic […]

The Garden Terrace

An awesomely overwhelming Sunday brunch buffet awaits you at the Terrace, where quality and quantity are equally represented. Highlights include several types of smoked fish, elaborate salads, an extensive cheese board, carved-to-order prime rib, fresh seafood and more than twenty desserts. Kids are welcome, too, and at a substantial discount. Those without kids (or maybe […]

The Humble Pie Store

When the Humble Pie Store reopened in Congress Park in early 2016 after more than a year without a home, a collective sigh of relief emanated from pie aficionados across the city. No longer will we have to content ourselves with special orders; finally, there’s a place we can get our pies – sweet or […]

The Post Chicken & Beer

Until The Post came along, it was almost as if the Front Range had no fried chicken at all, so quickly did fans flock here. Quaffable beers and a supporting cast of other countrified fare bolstered the Post’s reputation, and devotees in need of a fix had no trouble trekking to the bedroom community of […]

The Rosedale

What was once Boone’s Tavern, known for giant TV screens and rabid sports fans betting on everything from football to mixed martial arts, has morphed into the Rosedale, home of warm wood tones and oysters on the half shell. The Platt Park bar’s transformation in early 2016 brought it more in line with its neighbor […]

The Thirsty Monk

The monastic life may not hold much appeal in the modern world, but it does have one major perk: the brews. Monks – particularly Belgian brothers – have long supported themselves through brewing and make some of the most famous beers in the world. If you aren’t of an ecclesiastical disposition (or just can’t make […]

The Three Lions

With 6.6 billion people on the earth who view soccer (or football) as their sport of choice, it’s surprising there aren’t more spots like the Three Lions, which opened in the former Bank Bar & Grill space in August 2011. Billing itself as a world football pub, the Three Lions is modeled after a traditional […]

Three Sisters Cafe & Catering

Three Sisters gets a serious lunchtime rush from downtown office workers in need of a fast, well-made sandwich, or a bowl of one of the house’s half-dozen scratch soups. Service is fast and efficient. If you want it quick, competent and cheap, Three Sisters delivers. And if you’re not sure what’s simmering away in the […]
