White Fence Farm

This takeout-only outpost of White Fence Farm has one distinct advantage over the original full-service restaurant in Lakewood: There’s no need to endure the carnival of shlock in the form of a gift shop, playground and petting zoo. Instead, you’ll find a tiny menu boasting fried chicken – some of the best around – and […]

White Lies

No, you’re not seeing double. White Lies occupies the same black-and-gold space as Black Eye Coffee, but Black Eye closes at 4 p.m., and after an hour of downtime, White Lies takes over for dinner service starting at 5. Along with the alter ego comes an expanded menu, including tasty starters and inventive entrees, and […]

White Pie

At White Pie, brothers Kris and Jason Wallenta dish up wood-fired pizzas inspired by their childhood in New Haven, Connecticut. But even though their pizzas were inspired by an East Coast classic, they aren’t chained to tradition – just as their tacos at Dos Santos, the Mexican restaurant they run around the corner, aren’t bound […]

The White Whale Room

An all-day, Moby Dick-themed cafe serving coffee in the morning and cocktails at night while catering to light-rail commuters and urban apartment dwellers may sound like a hot mess in the making, but the White Whale Room is instead lively, amusing and, most of all, heartwarming, thanks to the gracious service provided by owners Rachael […]

Whittier Cafe

There’s no place quite like Whittier Cafe, whose eclectic calendar features such community events as weekly Ethiopian coffee ceremonies. An expansive lineup of fresh-roasted coffees, along with teas, ice cream and sandwich options, comes out of the small but mighty kitchen at this neighborhood hangout. More than a coffee shop, Whittier Cafe is a true […]

Wibby Brewing

A city that has long been thought to be in the shadows of nearby Boulder, Longmont is anything but that today. An ambitious vibrancy resonates between those walking the artsy downtown district. With city officials projecting the population to exceed that of Boulder’s in the next 15 years, the future is bright for this prosperous […]

Wikipita

Manned by Israeli Itay Gal and wife Leah, this Mediterranean food cart makes some of the best handheld food on the 16th Street Mall. In its semi-permanent home off Arapahoe, office workers and the curious enjoy reasonably prices, hot and fluffy pitas stuffed with veggies and meats dripping with authentic spices. Don’t forget to stop […]

Wildflower

Chef Aiden Tibbetts was just 22 years old when he helped open this restaurant inside LoHi’s Life House hotel in 2020. In the years since, he’s settled into his role leading the kitchen, creating impressive dishes – often using flowers and produce from his mother’s garden – that manage to evoke the whimsical spirit of […]

Will Call

The folks behind the Little Pub Company opened Will Call in late 2014 in the Industry development on Brighton Boulevard; the eatery features Venezuelan-style arepas as its main menu attraction. Little Pub Company head Mark Berzins says the concept was the result of several different factors: the need to provide high-volume lunch service to employees […]

Williams & Graham

Sean Kenyon’s LoHi speakeasy, which opened in 2011, is the OG of Denver’s cocktail scene and remains at the top of the game today. To enter the bar, you go through a bookcase, which you can only access when there’s a seat for you and your party inside. That means no crowding or people trying […]

Willie G’s Seafood & Steaks

Located on Denver’s bustling 16th Street Mall, Willie G’s Seafood & Steaks is a quiet, classy oasis with an upscale-steakhouse atmosphere. But its lively patio, at the corner of 16th and Lawrence, was just made for people-watching, so settle in and eat, drink and gawk to your heart’s content. Willie G’s is part of the […]

Wine Experience Cafe

The Wine Experience Cafe concept is a perfect fit for Southlands: It’s a wine shop with a restaurant attached (or, in the foodie world, a restaurant with a wine shop next door.) All of the bottles and glasses served in the restaurant are available for sale in the shop; most of the bottles in the […]

The Wing Hut

This small family-owned spot has been specializing in wings for two decades, and the experience shows. The wings are on the smaller side, but with tender meat, a nice, crisp bite and a whopping 46 killer sauce and dry-rub options, size really doesn’t matter here. Not sure where to start? The garlic parmesan is a […]

Wingin’ It

This little storefront sports bar is the only local eatery serving fried Twinkies, a cardiologist’s nightmare. Sure, it makes other things — good chicken wings, for example, with an ungodly number of sauces (47, if you want to be specific) — but the fried Twinkies (and candy bars and bananas and funnel cake) are reason […]
