Wit’s End Brewing

Wit’s End’s time at its original taproom in west Denver came to an end at the end of last year – but luckily, owner Scott Witsoe didn’t give up the beer business. Instead, the brewery teamed up with Strange Craft Beer Company to share the latter’s newly renovated Lincoln Park taproom while continuing to produce […]

Wokano Asian Bistro

Wakano’s menu offers a broad spread of traditional Asian dishes on a board bulked up with a generous serving of Americanized Chinese favorites. It’s a solid neighborhood spot for those craving Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and Japanese all together in one place.

The Wolf’s Tailor

Wooden Spoon Cafe & Bakery

Open the door at Wooden Spoon Cafe & Bakery, and you’ll be hit by a blast of dessert-perfumed air, the sound of regulars chatting in line and a view of the chalkboards listing that day’s offerings.

Woodgrain Bagels

What started out as a simple Boulder bagelry in May 2017 rapidly expanded to a trio of cafes by November 2018, with locations added in Lowry and at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus. The centerpiece of all three is the Montreal-style bagel – a bit smaller than its NYC-style cousin, topped only by […]

Woodie Fisher

The restaurant built into the transformed Hose Company No. 1 building downtown got off to a rocky start in 2019, parting ways with its opening chef and going into an extended soft-opening mode until a replacement could take over. But chef Franco Ruiz is no second-stringer; he came to the restaurant after six years at […]

Woods Boss Brewing Company

With more than seventy breweries in Denver alone, competition is getting tough, so any new kids on the block need to go big when they open – or go home. And big is just where Jordan Fink and Chad Moore went when they opened Woods Boss in August 2017. The spacious taproom is centered around […]

Woody’s Wings N’ Things

Don’t let the name of this strip-mall joint (which is not affiliated with the Aurora or Arvada locations of Woody’s) fool you: This is one of the metro area’s best Asian eateries, in disguise. The menu – a literal binder – is full of dishes with roots in the Indochina peninsula, from duck larb to […]

Work & Class

In 2014, chef Dana Rodriguez co-founded Work & Class in a space created from recycled shipping containers in a part of town that wasn’t known as a hot spot – yet. A decade later, it still draws crowds in now-bustling RiNo. Rodriguez has gone on to make other big moves, including overseeing the culinary revamp […]

World of Beer

Colorado is crazy about craft beer, so it makes sense that the Tampa-based restaurant chain World of Beer would come along to tap the market. And nobody does craft beer quite like these big boys: LoDo’s World of Beer offers more than 550 beers from around the world, including fifty draft beers on tap. The […]
