Clyde doesn’t look like a traditional wine bar. The walls are white, the chairs are silver. Artwork has been kept to a minimum, with nothing French or kitschy on the walls. All of which makes sense, because Clyde – owned by Jon Lipshutz and Chris Fehlinger, a front-of-house veteran who worked at Union Square Cafe, […]

Owner Johnny Ballen, founder of the legendary Squeaky Bean, took a decidedly different path when he opened his second venture in Englewood in 2016. Instead of the progressive, mildly fussy cuisine the Bean was known for, Ballen went for comfort, both in food and decor. The menu focuses on tacos, as you’d expect – nearly […]
Coda boasts about its “experimental elixirs,” most of which are only made in single-keg quantities and sold within a couple of days. But it’s also got a solid lineup of standard beers, including IPAs, Kölsches, pilsners and stouts on tap at any given time, as well as a rotating roster of food trucks most days.
Inspired by late-’70s hip-hop group the Cold Crush Brothers, Cold Crush opened in May 2013 as what owner Brian Mathenge dubbed “an artist’s haven, a place where artists, poets, musicians and those who appreciate their work can meet, mingle and eat great food.” DJs spin funk, soul and hip-hop five nights a week, as well […]

Henry Coleman knows from Detroit soul food, Detroit comfort food, Detroit’s streetside, slapdash, eat-while-walking cuisine. From behind the rail of his kitchen at Coleman’s (in the former home of Ethel’s House of Soul), he knocks up specials (roasted barbecued chicken breast with greens and rice and gravy, if you’re lucky), bakes the cornbread, slow-cooks his […]
The College, as it’s affectionately known, has been in business since the Eisenhower administration and proudly wears such hard-earned longevity on its beer-stained sleeve. As the area around Eighth Avenue and Colorado Boulevard keeps getting shinier, the College Inn’s mom’s-basement-but-maybe-somebody-got-stabbed-there vibe stands out all the more. It’s got many characteristics of a dive, yes, but […]

Colt & Gray is an exercise in how far someone – chef/owner Nelson Perkins, in this case – can push a neighborhood restaurant without going completely over the edge. Since it opened at the foot of the 16th Street pedestrian bridge connecting Commons Park to LoHi in August 2009, this compact eatery has been an […]
There are times when Colterra seems to be less a restaurant with its own gardens attached than a garden center that happens to have its own excellent restaurant. Chef Bradford Heap opened Colterra with the understanding that it would be a place where at least some of the promises of the burgeoning green movement might […]
An image of a steak and a martini glass tops the bright-yellow sign on Federal Boulevard where Columbine Steak House has been serving up cuts of beef, burgers and fries since 1961. And not much has changed since then at this no-frills joint. Guests opting to sit in the main dining room order at the […]
Comal is a restaurant on a quest: It opened in as a lunch spot in RiNo in late 2016 with the goal of training low-income women (many from Mexico, El Salvador, Syria, Ethiopia and Iraq) in restaurant and business skills, and some of its graduates have moved on to open their own food endeavors. In […]
Common Grounds has been slinging coffee in Denver since the early ’90s, long before the popularity of super-chains and Frappuccinos. The original location is still going strong in the Highlands, while the downtown spot moved to different digs across the street in 2009. However, the LoDo locations did keep its most notable feature: a beer […]

After being run by new management in summer 2022, the Bailey landmark is now in the hands of owner Ron Aigner’s son, Jay; the hot dog-shaped hot dog stand reopened just in time for Memorial Day weekend 2023 and is slinging a small menu of classic frankfurters and sausages. As always, the real draw is […]
A staple dive that stands out even in Boulder’s crowded bar scene, Conor O’Neill’s is the most authentic Irish pub you’ll find in the Rockies, thanks to the importation of everything from the bar to the fireplace to the decor. Irish masons even flew over to help build the place. Live music on weekends includes […]
