The former Capitol Hill Tavern was resurrected in 2020 when Bar Nun opened in that space, with irreverent decor (think a painting of Jesus with Juggalo face paint and plenty of nun imagery) and a staff that will make you feel like a regular immediately. Whether you’re pounding pickle shots on the enclosed patio or […]

Cliff Young and his son, Zach, opened the doors of Bar Red in late 2013. But beyond those doors was a stunning renovation of an old stone building at 437 West Colfax Avenue, just around the corner from CY Steaks, which Cliff also ran until 2018 (he passed away in 2021). More than just a […]
After this spot’s long run as the Atrium Bar & Grill, new owners took it over, cleaned it up and made it into a respectable neighborhood watering hole called the Bar. As the name might imply, it’s a no-frills joint where pretty much anyone is welcome. While the bar on the south side of the […]
Chris Graves decided to open a coffee shop after 25 years of hanging out in them, all the while taking stock of various details and inconveniences that he would change at his own place. “There were just little things about them that bothered me,” he explains. “Like, why is the CD player skipping, why is […]
A self-proclaimed “stray bar,” the Barker Lounge attracts a wide variety of patrons — even if the disco balls hanging from the ceiling and Madonna tunes blaring from the jukebox suggest otherwise. The humble interior at 475 Santa Fe Drive (where it moved in 2012) is similar to that of its old South Broadway location: […]

Since 1992, Barolo Grill has served upscale Northern Italian fare in Cherry Creek with charm and sophistication – and a generous amount of vintage wine. Ryan Fletter, who worked there for nearly as long as it’s been open, took over from Blair Taylor as owner in 2015 and quickly installed executive chef Darrel Truett in […]
The main attractions at Barricuda’s, a quintessential neighborhood bar, are the prices and the atmosphere, which is laid-back and friendly. The food is greasy-spoon and the menu is expansive for a bar; there are plenty of vegetarian options, and the Sunday brunch is popular and offers just the right type of breakfast spread for fighting […]
Chef Kelly Whitaker opened Basta, his first restaurant, in 2010, and has since built a menu based on Colorado meats and produce, a dedication to old-world methods, and freshly milled whole grains from Dry Storage, the company he started with a mission to change the world’s food systems (no small task). From top-notch pizza and […]
With its iconic sign, sunken bar and mid-century aesthetic, Bastien’s is a holdover from times past – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The family-run business dates back to the 1930s, but the current restaurant was constructed from scratch in 1958. That sign outside the Googie-style building touts the famed Bastien’s sugar steak, […]

Once home to both O.P. Baur Confectionery Company (in the late 1800s) and Le Grand Bistro & Oyster Bar (in the early 2010s), the building at 1512 Curtis Street has a long history. In spring 2015, the Baur’s name got a reboot with Baur’s Restaurant and Listening Lounge, a multi-concept restaurant and music venue that […]
Don’t be fooled by the name: There’s much more than just biryani at this Tech Center restaurant. Guests are greeted by a powerful blast of spices as they enter, foretelling good things that await inside the pumpkin-and-gray dining room. That room is crowded (especially on weekends): Families with chubby toddlers and mothers wearing jewel-toned saris, […]
Let the good times roll! Bayou Bob’s, conveniently located next to the Paramount Theatre, brings the spirit of New Orleans to Denver. This is close as you’ll get to Bourbon Street without leaving Colorado. The kitchen serves up authentic Southern cuisine, including crawfish, jambalaya and etoufee; the bar offers happy hour six days a week, […]
Diners call the shots at BD’s Mongolian Barbeque, a bustling, decade-old LoDo spot that puts a modern spin on the traditional Mongolian feast. Build a stir-fry bowl from an assembly-line-style selection of meats, vegetables, starches and sauces, which are grilled on the spot by knife-wielding chefs. The possible combinations are infinite, from seafood-centric to meaty, […]
The mission of the creative staff at BDT Stage is to offer “Broadway-quality” theatrical entertainment at non-Broadway prices. Ordinarily, a statement like that might promote snickers from anyone who takes their theater seriously, but the cast and programming can hold a candle to more expensive productions any day of the week. The theater showcases four […]
Owner Martha Koch took over Bear Creek Tavern in 1980, when it was still a country-fried roadhouse and bona fide biker bar. Today, their locals’ clubhouse is a full-on restaurant. There’s still plenty of character, but the Koches have upped the quality of what comes out of their kitchen. Look for hearty breakfasts, good steaks […]

When Beckon opened in 2018, it was the city’s first chef’s-counter restaurant. Now, more and more high-end tasting-menu options are available, but Beckon continues to stand out with a menu created by chef Duncan Holmes and his team that changes quarterly, an approach inspired by the Earth’s connection to the moon. Tucked off busy Larimer […]
Longtime industry pro Jacob Berndt debuted his first solo venture in May 2024 inside the long, narrow downtown space that was home to Deep Roots Winery & Bistro before sitting empty for four years. With the help of his siblings, Berndt has transformed the space with art and knickknacks that give it the vibe of […]
From the outside, the Beer Depot Lounge might look a little sketchy, but this 38th Avenue dive is fairly clean and respectable inside. The friendly joint has its share of locals and regulars, who come for cheap drinks and drink specials, free pool, shuffleboard, live music, karaoke and occasional free bar food.
