Parrott’s Sports Grille

Located in Firestone, on the east side of I-25 across from Longmont, Parrott’s Sports Grill prides itself on its slow-cooked chicken wings, which it proclaims are the best this side of the Mississippi River. Parrott’s also serves Southern-style barbecue (pulled pork, smoked chicken, eighteen-hour brisket, ribs), prime rib, appetizers and burgers. There are plenty of […]

Pasquini’s Pizzeria

More than 25 years after the Pasquini family opened its first restaurant on South Broadway, the original Pasquini’s Pizzeria is in the hands of daughter Melinda Pasquini. She’s definitely gone her own way, updating the look of the place to that of a building straight out of the family’s home town of Lanciano, Italy. She’s […]

Pasty Republic

British cuisine (other than fish and chips, naturally) may be a bit of an international joke, but you have to give the country its due when it comes to the pasty (which rhymes with nasty, not hasty). The British-style pastries from the Pasty Republic are stuffed with plenty of steak, potato and rutabaga, but also […]

Pat’s Philly Steaks and Subs

Once the home of Brendan’s Pub blues club, Pat’s Cheesesteaks now occupies this subterranean spot. In addition to serving up some of the best cheesesteaks in town, the spot also brings in DJs on the weekends and hosts beer pong and the Denver Poker Tour during the week.

Patzcuaro’s

Patzcuaro’s is named for a secluded mountain lake in Mexico, and like that lake, it remained a secret from all but a lucky few from its opening in 1978 until the neighborhood around it began to grow and change. In the 2000s, an influx of new residents in the Highland neighborhood fueled the cantina, originally […]

Paxia – Alta Cocina Mexicana

Cesar, Roberto and Ignacio Leon, the brothers behind the beloved Los Carboncitos, opened the more upscale Paxia in August 2011. The name is Nahuatl for “peace,” and the space is light and breezy, with a pleasant patio outside and a sunny, peaceful dining area inside. While its more rowdy sibling lists a full page of […]

Peak to Peak Tap Room

Celebrating nearly 2 years of bringing the best small craft beer from across Colorado to southeast Aurora. 500+ brews from 100+ small craft breweries proudly served and counting…

Pearl Street Grill

This South Pearl landmark looks like a cross between Cheers and a location for Friends, but it serves swell bar burgers, nachos and other grill standards. The international beer list is overwhelming, the atmosphere unassuming and friendly, and the secluded patio a great summer hideaway.

Peking Tokyo Express

Peking Tokyo not only smells better than many restaurants in town, it has what could be Denver’s longest menu, a muddle of styles — Szechuan and Mandarin and Amerasian and Vietnamese and Thai and Cantonese, as well as spaghetti and cheesecake and curry, all done very well. But except for teriyaki, there is no Japanese […]

Peppers

Peppers is best known for its pancakes — a flagship staple at this restaurant, light and fluffy, but still substantial enough that a stack of two makes a full meal. Trust us: These slightly sweet, slightly malty hotcakes are the diner pancakes of your dreams. But don’t be fooled into thinking that all Peppers has […]

The Perfect Landing

Outside the big windows of the Perfect Landing Restaurant, an out-of-the-way spot on the second floor of the Denver JetCenter at Centennial Airport, small airplanes buzz as they take off and land. Inside, live lobsters swim in a tank by the entrance and a man named Boogie Bob plays old-timey piano tunes five days a […]

Pesce Fresco

This charming, Italian-themed wine bar has wonderful food to match its extensive, reasonably priced wine list. The emphasis is on quality ingredients and rich sauces that pay off big-time on the pasta and fish entr

Pete’s Central One

You can’t spit an olive pit in this town without hitting one of late restaurateur Pete Contos’s establishments. Pete’s Central One is the most inexplicably named eatery in the group, but this location northwest of Washington Park is fairly central to most Denver diners looking for Greek cuisine in a comfortable, decades-old setting. This Pete’s […]

Pete’s Gyros Place

Unsurprisingly, Pete’s Gyros specializes in gyros — shaved off the stick, wrapped in griddled pitas with onions and tomatoes and graced with a generous handful of crumbled feta. It also offers burgers grilled at any hour, assembled with surprisingly fresh ingredients, and always served with bagged, frozen Sysco fries. There’s also a good souvlaki — […]
