In LoDo, where 8 Rivers moved in October 2008, chef/owner Scott Durrah has a decent-sized space — not huge, but maybe three times larger than his old spot in Highland. He has a bar set with bottles of Mount Gay and Appleton Estate rum, and decorated with album covers from reggae and dub bands. He […]

Jefferson Park is an up-and-coming part of Denver — but has it arrived as a dining destination? Amass was opened in the fall of 2014 by chef-owner Joe Troupe, formerly of Lucky Pie Pizza & Tap House, who took over the space in a new residential development that Corner House had vacated following an eighteen-month […]
The line can be long at Amore Gelato, which opened on the 16th Street Mall in summer 2010. But for those who prefer Italian-style gelato and sorbet to ice cream, its more calorie-rich American counterpart, the wait is well worth it. Styled as a modern European sweet shop, Amore Gelato draws tourists walking off big […]

Modernity is not a virtue at Arap’s Old Gun Shop, where mounted game heads hold court over day-drinkers and night-crawlers. A classic Englewood dive hunkered down in an old gun-supply store, Arap’s offers inexpensive no-frills swill and bar snacks, such as jalapeno poppers, wings and pizza. If you want fancy, you obviously didn’t heed the […]
Araujo’s occupies a modest storefront across from a Safeway and smack in the middle of the Best Breakfast Burrito Neighborhood; Araujo helped the area win that title with its 99-cent to-go burritos. But Araujo offers so much more: There’s the daily Mexican buffet, filled with the greatest hits of Den-Mex cuisine: good green chile, excellent […]
While it’s squashed into a small mall overlooking a parking lot, the interior feel of Arugula is gracious, modern and warm – and the Northern Italian food turned out by chef/owner Alec Schuler has the same contemporary hominess. The seasonal menu features farm-to-table ingredients, many of them locally sourced; the roster is rich with such […]
You won’t need to hock Grandpa’s watch to afford banh mi at Baker’s Place, a clean but spartan Vietnamese bakery on Federal Boulevard; everything here is still on the cheap. There are over a dozen variations on the classic Vietnamese sandwich — including a fried-egg version, along with the standard pork, beef and chicken fillings. […]

This is the kind of neighborhood joint that everyone ought to have in his neighborhood, a place that’s both casually friendly and aggressively social, that serves both PBR on tap and super-call whiskey, and that offers the menus of both a champion barbecue restaurant and a decent locals-only steakhouse. Carolina pork shoulder, closed-pit Texas brisket, […]
There’s no grizzled old papa at Big Papa’s standing watch over a hickory fire in the parking lot, but rather one giant Southern Pride smoker in the back. This little storefront outfit works fast — and with barbecue, speed is made possible only by the intelligent application of technology and mass-production methods. The ribs, the […]

Billy’s serves all-beef Vienna dogs, homemade sausage, veggie and even salmon dogs spruced up with an array of fixings, from traditional kraut, onions and mustard to hot peppers, cheeses and chili. One of many house […]

The Bistro at Stapleton was a welcome new neighbor when it opened in mid-2014 in an area with plenty of hungry people and few places to go out. With a chef trained in Europe and an in-house sommelier, the restaurant is styled as a pan-Mediterranean bistro, with simple roast chicken and French onion soup at […]
Bluepoint Bakery, founded in 1987 by chefs Fred Bramhall and Mary Clark, was once one of the town’s top retail bakeries, with a storefront that exuded good smells up and down Sixth Avenue. Today, Bluepoint continues to bake from its wholesale spot in north Denver, delivering breads, rolls, muffins, Danish, pies, cakes and tortes to […]
