St. Mark’s Coffeehouse

An army of hip, coffee-drinking twenty- and thirty-somethings sets up camp at the tables of St. Mark’s every day, sipping hot drinks while hacking away furiously on their laptops. No matter what time of day you show up at this spacious shop for a cup of joe, you might be hard-pressed to find a seat […]

Stack Subs

Stack gets its name from the precise layering of ingredients that gives each bite the same blend of ingredients. Sandwiches are built on oven-crisped breads — white, wheat, gluten-free or pretzel roll — and feature classic deli combos, like the house favorite Italian, stacked with Genoa salami, mortadella, pepperoni, hot capicola and provolone, as well […]

Stagecoach Sports Grill

This raucous bar boasts typical saloon food — think quesadillas, potato skins, and cheese sticks — and even a weekend brunch, but the real reason to head up here (other than the raucous bar thing) is the succulent BBQ: St. Louis-cut pork ribs and baby backs, all with a deep, smoky taste and a molasses-sweet, […]

Stanley Beer Hall

Stanley Marketplace resolutely refuses to refer to itself as a mall, and while the idea of many different merchants under one roof certainly brings to mind the “m” word, this complex has a few very important tenants that differentiate it from the pink-and-teal edifices of the ’80s. One of those is the Stanley Beer Hall, […]

Star Bar

Star Bar was once one of the diviest of dive bars, where the carpet was sticky and the bathrooms icky. But a makeover in 2010 transformed the place in the same manner that the rest of the Ballpark neighborhood was transforming, turning a questionable saloon into a safe haven for craft beers and cocktails. The […]

Star Kitchen

Like many of Denver’s best Asian restaurants, Star Kitchen is tucked into a strip mall and doesn’t look very inviting. But step through the front door and you’ll find yourself in one of the best dim sum joints in town, where the carts – back after a pandemic hiatus – roll out of the kitchen […]

Star of India

Of the many Indian restaurants in town, Star of India is one of the best – and definitely boasts the best mango lassi. The dining room is comfortable; guests will enjoy the desert-colored walls and cultural artifacts, as well as the beautiful copper bowls in which the food arrives. The menu is broad, with all […]

Stella’s Coffee

Stella’s opened its doors in 1991, and today it fills several eclectic rooms in a house on South Pearl. Those rooms are almost always packed; students and telecommuters share mismatched tables in the quiet nooks during the day, couples and friends catch live music acts and chat on the front porch at night. And at […]

Stella’s on 16th

Forget the fact that Stella’s on 16th looks like a food court, albeit a very sunny one with a cool triangular community table and a patio with couches and fire pits. After all, even in our highly informal era, when chefs are just as likely to run fast-casuals as sit-downs, and when today’s food halls […]

Steuben’s Food Truck

Steuben’s was the first restaurant in town to jump on the mobile-food bandwagon, retrofitting an old lunch truck and sending it out onto the streets of Denver in the summer of 2010. The kitchen is tiny, but the flavors coming out of it are big. The crew serves up many of the specialties that are […]

Steuben’s Uptown

Steuben’s is named after a Boston diner once run by founder Josh Wolkon’s family. Since 2006, this retro joint has paid tribute to regional American favorites, from well-made lobster rolls to juicy green chile cheeseburgers. Steuben’s was also a pioneer in large-format cocktails, so the bar has years of experience batching booze – which you […]
