Long a South Gaylord Street standard, Wash Park Grille has been meeting the needs of the neighborhood’s happy-hour crew for years, boasting a long list of food and drink specials for every day of the week. The large space is a sleek spot, not only for thirty-something after-work drinks, but also for lunch or dinner, […]
Restaurant in Denver
Showing 2267 - 2288 of 2375Water Grill, which opened a 200-seat eatery in Union Station neighborhood in February of 2022, definitely serves special-occasion fare, and it’s priced to match. But its commitment to sourcing (it’s owned by family-run distributor King’s Seafood Company) means you won’t be left high and dry by low-quality seafood. Many ingredients, such as spiny lobster and […]
WaterCourse Foods opened in 1998, and over the years, its name has become synonymous in Denver with meat-free cooking; it even became a completely vegan kitchen in 2015. During that long run, WaterCourse has also become something of a community center – not just for vegetarians and vegans, but for gluten-free diners and others with […]
Dubbed “your best friend’s bar,” the Watering Bowl is a dog-friendly spot housed in the former Priddy Auction Galleries space on Leetsdale Drive. Although dogs aren’t actually allowed inside of the 13,000-square-foot bar, there are 7,000 additional square feet outside for a fenced-in private dog park. The Watering Bowl has a fully stocked regular bar […]
The Waterton Tavern’s website touts two things that are very important to tavern-goers: cold beer and big burgers. And while this bar, which is located in the Roxborough section of Littleton, excels at both of those things (there are ten different types of burgers), the place has even more to offer, including additional menu items […]
Colorado’s ’cue aficionados were devastated when, in December 2021, Wayne’s Smoke Shack in Superior was a victim of devastating winter wildfires. While the building that housed it remained standing, Wayne’s suffered severe smoke damage, and nearly all of the restaurant’s equipment had to be thrown out. But the Smoke Shack reopened at the beginning of […]
The Wazee predates all the hipness, all the gentrification of LoDo. But the bar has aged so well, no place works better when you need a place to crash-land for a couple of hours, a couple of years, a lifetime. It’s seen some famous faces (and has even been owned by one, John Hickenlooper), but […]
Everything about the Weathervane Cafe is as cute as can be. Situated in the bottom floor of a small house on Seventeenth Avenue, the interior seats a mere nineteen people; there are eye-catching flower arrangements, vases and ornamental items (some of them for sale) artfully placed on assorted surfaces, and pictures drawn by local schoolkids […]
At Larimer Square, a set of stairs leads down to a tiny, brightly lit foyer with checkered floors. It’s just enough space to hold an old-fashioned pie counter, an antique register and a chalkboard menu that lists the daily pie specials: whole pies available for pick-up and slices that you can consume, possibly with a […]
Six years after opening Katie Mullen’s on the 16th Street Mall, the bar’s owners took over the former biker-friendly Rockstar Bar and transformed it into the more upscale watering hole Wee Katie’s, which opened in early 2015. The 99-seat (not including two patios) Wee Katie’s has some of the feel of Katie Mullen’s, with a […]
This elegant bar originally opened in 2019, serving libations that were as much a show as a drink. The bartenders often use smoking wood chips, whipped foam, liquid nitrogen and other flair to create eye-catching concoctions. There was just one problem: The bar was on the small side, so in 2022 it expanded into the […]
For over two decades, the Dickerson family has kept the catfish, fried chicken, smothered pork chops and other soul-food specialties coming for hungry diners in Five Points – though it’s moved a few times since opening. In 2022, it shuttered its longtime home with plans to move into a new space. That process took longer […]
The comfort food served at the West End Tavern is what would result if a fast-moving drunken picnic crashed headlong into a great neighborhood bar, with beach food and backyard barbecue tangling up with lawn-fete classics and powerful drinks. We’re talking sautéed greens and deviled eggs, roast-pork sandwiches, roast chicken and alcoholic root-beer floats — […]
Where else in Colorado can you drink beer in an alley? At Westbound & Down’s Free Market location in Denver, patrons can grab some of Colorado’s most award-winning beer and hang out in the well-kept Dairy Block alley. From IPAs to dark beers, spritzy lagers and Hefeweizen, Westbound manages to offer an array of top-notch […]
Westbound & Down is a brewpub that’s worth leaving Denver for, whether you’re drinking or not. It deals in sports-bar classics – nachos, pretzels, chili and burgers – and each dish is executed by an exacting hand, resulting in a menu that’s elevated in quality but not unnecessarily fancified. This food is immensely comforting, and […]
When Chris Gonzales and his father-in-law, Jaime Rizo, bought an old building in an industrial section of north Denver over a decade ago, it housed a grocery store and meat market that had opened when the neighborhood was filled with Germans. The pair decided to keep the name, converting the shop into a meat market […]
Eating in this museum of kitsch is like dining inside a cuckoo clock — one that smells faintly of beer and boiled cabbage and echoes with oompah music. But if you can get past the Old World shlock, you’ll enjoy fantastic views and food that’s primarily Germanic (with the occasional detour into other Eastern European […]
