The last word of the name Casselman’s Bar & Venue really tells you what you need to know: This is a venue, above all, and a huge one, located on a warehouse-y stretch of Walnut Street in the Ballpark neighborhood. While the venue brings in an assortment of acts throughout the week, the space can […]
Restaurant in Denver
Showing 375 - 396 of 2375The Castle Cafe’s been cooking since the 1890s. Under countless owners, this storefront eatery has been a gathering place for miners, ranchers, cowboys, drunks, locals, travelers and everyone in between. Today, it’s also a destination for people who are addicted to authentic, Kansas City-style pan-fried chicken, which was introduced by the folks who bought the […]
Chef Elise Wiggins opened her dream restaurant, Cattivella (“naughty girl” in Italian), on the eastern edge of Denver in 2017, creating a place that reflects her many experiences traveling, working and eating in Italy. The wood-fired pizza oven is used for far more than pizzas, and an adjustable charcoal grill gives meats (many of them […]
Danny Wang and Betty Fey opened Caution in the spring of 2012 as a production facility supplying beer to Lao Wang, a noodle house owned by Wang’s parents. The brewery quickly expanded with a tap room, giving beer fans a chance to post up and sample their entire lineup.
At their worst, wine lists are pompous, stratospherically overpriced, ridiculously long, awkwardly categorized and full of overexposed, yawn-inducing labels. But at Caveau Wine Bar, the 75-bottle list (55 are available by the glass) is an easy-to-navigate document of new discoveries, small producers and familiar but not overrated labels. The polished yet easygoing staff is well-versed […]
With a large dining area plus a patio, CD’s has room for a lot of wing fans – which is a good thing, since it tends to draw a big crowd regularly. And for good reason: Its deep-fried wings are available tossed in over twenty sauce options that range from totally mild choices like lemon […]
The Aurora outpost of CD’s has room for a lot of wing fans – which is a good thing, since it tends to draw a big crowd regularly. And for good reason: Its deep-fried wings are available tossed in over twenty sauce options that range from totally mild choices like lemon pepper and teriyaki to […]
Cebiche has brought a touch of Peru to the bustling LoHi restaurant district. The place has an easy vibe and a small, carefully selected menu that emphasizes quality over range; having a meal here is like dining in a friendly home in an exotic clime. Appetizers are a tasty way to get a feel for […]
If you’re looking for something Irish in LoDo and prefer to avoid the sports-bar crowd, Celtic Tavern might be just the ticket. Eschewing a green-beer motif in favor of decor that incorporates literary works from the Emerald Isle’s finest, Celtic Tavern presents a distinct Gaelic theme. With its mahogany-paneled walls and fireplaces, the venue offers […]
Not only is Centro a beautiful restaurant, a casual restaurant and an undeniably cool restaurant with a bar that pours some stiff drinks, its food is good, smart, original and stubbornly uncompromising. It’s nominally a Mexican restaurant, with a menu listing bocaditas of chips and salsas and rellenos; simple carne asada and enchiladas and carnitas […]
Even with all of its breweries, Denver needed a place that was cultured but unpretentious, intellectual but neighborhood-focused, nerdy but not condescending, something…cerebral. Oh, and with fantastic beer. That’s what it got with Cerebral Brewing, a mellow spot just off Colfax Avenue that is making some of Denver’s best beer and presenting it in a […]
This is a side project from the beer experts at Denver Beer Co. next door, and the focus is the flavors of Mexico. The starting point is clean and refreshing lager perfect for a hot summer day, but the brewers explore international styles while adding rare ingredients from Mexico for surprising bursts of boldness. In […]
Chai & Chai opened in the fall of 2013 in an unlikely stretch of fast-food restaurants at the heart of the Anschutz Medical Campus. Owner Venu Alla, an Indian architect and tech consultant, was inspired to start a restaurant by Chez Panisse — but his place is very different from that legendary spot. Chai & […]
As the name might suggest, Challenger’s is a sports bar, featuring TVs liberally adorning the walls so you can cheer on the Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies or Avs — as well as national and international sports teams — from all over the venue. The seating is open, affording unobstructed views of the on-screen action, and there […]
The name seems odd, but you won’t get burned when you eat at Charcoal. The restaurant, which Gary Sumihiro opened in September 2011, takes its moniker from the charcoal-powered, custom-designed bincho grill, an Asian innovation that creates intense heat. And chef Patrik Landberg, a native of Sweden, uses that grill to good effect in many […]
Chautauquas — cultural and self-improvement centers — were hot properties in the nineteenth century, but only three remain in the entire country, including the Boulder Chautauqua, founded in 1898. The 26-acre campus is centered on a grand Victorian dining hall, featuring great views of the Flatirons and a menu of American standards. It sits at […]
