New owners have brought a new menu along with a new cleanliness regimen to the former dark, divey Hoffbrau, now renamed 1301 Santa Fe Bar & Grill. The rooftop smoking deck and wooden floor of the dining room got a good scrubbing, and the kitchen and interior underwent several much-needed repairs. The result is a […]
Steakhouse in Denver
Showing 1 - 22 of 54
Denver was long thought of as a cowtown, and the steakhouse was central to the cuisine. While many old-school steakhouses are still slinging meat, A5, which opened in 2021, stands out as a modern, lively take on the classic concept. We love this spot for more than just the steaks (though those are excellent). You’re […]
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, […]
This offshoot of LoDo’s Denver ChopHouse is the best place in Boulder to eat meat – if you dare. There’s nothing innovative about the classic steakhouse menu; you’ll just find red meat in all its variations (strip, sirloin, porterhouse, filet), seared to perfection. Throw in a wedge salad, a baked potato and a Manhattan, and […]
After forty-plus years, the Boulder Cork remains a Colorado favorite renowned for a menu filled with steak, seafood and pasta dishes, as well as an award-winning wine list and very attentive service. Much of the managing staff has been with the restaurant for more than two decades, and it shows with the quality of care […]

Travel back in time to gracious service, elegant surroundings and wine worth drinking. For more than three decades, the Broker has been one of Denver’s most romantic spots at night, while classy enough for upscale business dining during the day. The food is old-fashioned in a very good way; try a true classic like beef […]
The Buckhorn Exchange is a true old-timey spot. Before Henry “Shorty Scout” Zietz opened the Buckhorn in 1893, he rode with Buffalo Bill; in 1905, he fed President Teddy Roosevelt, then headed off with him to hunt big game. The menu is still loaded with big game – meat that also demands a pretty big […]
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 […]
This Spanish-style eatery is known as much for its killer rooftop views of the Flatirons as its stellar food and drink. In 2021, the restaurant partnered with the Savory Institute’s Land to Market regenerative agriculture program, through which it sources sustainably raised beef for its steak-focused menu; that’s rounded out by a vast array of […]
Cowbobas is an improbable combination of a cowboy steakhouse and Vietnamese boba tea shop. The entrees are mostly steaks (the most expensive is a 22-ounce porterhouse for $22), but don’t miss the boba smoothie happy hour, when ordering a tapioca-spiked shake to go will set you back just a couple of dollars. Service is extremely […]

Del Frisco’s exists for one reason and one reason only: to bring huge whacks of 100 percent American corn-fed beef to diners with big appetites and bigger wallets. A swank joint tinged with candlelight and cigar smoke (amid an air of DTC deal-making), Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steakhouse is thick with fat-cat atmosphere. Abundant dark […]
The ChopHouse is a homegrown chain that took its concept to the airport in 2009. Its outpost on Concourse A is a dark-wooded space with a bar often packed by travelers sipping one of the handcrafted beers on tap or glasses of cabernet while taking down a salad or burger with fries or onion rings. […]
Rock Bottom Restaurants steamrolled Denver years ago with its train-inspired microbrewery. But there’s much more here than beer, including a snazzy dining room and a roster of well-executed dishes. There’s nothing innovative about the classic steakhouse menu; you’ll just find red meat in all its variations (strip, sirloin, porterhouse, filet), seared to perfection. Throw in […]
The Diamond Cabaret is the epitome of a gentlemen’s club with high-end drinks, higher-end dancers, and a staff that treats the 25 to 50-year-old crowd with respect. Diamond hosts countless benefits throughout the year, as well as specialty nights of all shapes and sizes, bringing in DJs from across the U.S. to keep the party […]
The Four Seasons opened in Denver in the fall of 2010, another sign of the city’s evolution from a cowtown to a tourist destination, complete with moneyed visitors who now had a place to stay if the Ritz was booked. And with the opening of EDGE, the sleek restaurant in the Four Seasons, they also […]

Cutting it close is the way to go when traveling by air; time wasted while wedged into an uncomfortable airport chair is time you’ll never get back – unless you choose to while away your extra travel time at Elway’s. If it’s your first day on vacation, you won’t mind splurging on steak and eggs, […]
Although the second Elway’s lacks the fun factor of the original in Cherry Creek, it’s still a good bet for a business dinner — especially if your group is large enough to fill the League of Evil-like private seating area. And despite its hoity-toity location (it’s in the Ritz-Carlton), this Elway’s also works for a […]
Emil-Lene’s is a Colorado institution, where the Wild West cowboy history of cattle and hats and six-guns isn’t just a theme, but something served right up on the plate alongside the giant steaks, sides of spaghetti and relish trays of crunchy veggies on a bed of ice. The Kucher (now Krause) family has owned this […]
