Canopy Bar

Canopy comes from bar expert Greg Gallagher, who also launched the Roosevelt, Gaslamp and Front Porch, all comfortable and unpretentious watering holes that combine a welcoming vibe and attention to detail that rises above standard neighborhood joints. Canopy fits right into the Broadway scene, where bar-hoppers can stop in and almost certainly run into friends, […]

Cap City Tavern

Cap City Tavern is the kind of neighborhood joint that every neighborhood wishes it had. In this case, though, the lucky beneficiary is the Golden Triangle neighborhood, where Cap City is hopping at lunch, happy hour, dinner and beyond, seven days a week. There are happy-hour deals and food specials, but the standard menu is […]

Carbone’s Italian Sausage Deli

Temporarily closed: Part market, part sandwich shop, Carbone’s Italian Sausage Deli almost always has a line of people in front of the counter. In 1974, Rosa Lonardo and her husband, Nick, bought this place from Dominic Carbone, who taught the pair how to make sausages and meatballs the old-fashioned way before turning over the keys […]

Carioca Cafe (Bar Bar)

It’s dirty and grimy and sometimes feels a little dangerous, but that’s all part of the grungy charm of this cash-only dive. Known as Bar Bar thanks to the triangular neon sign outside, the downtown holdout nearly went under when it had to put a pause on live music because of licensing issues in 2022, […]

Carl’s Pizza

Situated in the now-hip Highland neighborhood, Carl’s Pizza is anything but trendy. It’s an old-time neighborhood Italian joint serving good spaghetti and meatballs, manicotti and pizza since 1953. Dinners come with soup or salad; spaghetti and meatballs can be ordered by the pint or the quart. It’s nothing fancy, just good food with a good […]

Carmine’s on Penn

The original Carmine’s on Penn has held down its corner of Pennsylvania and Bayaud since 1994. When the restaurant opened, it was intended as a place where large groups could converge and enjoy themselves without thinking too much about what they were eating – ordering big platters of Italian food served family style, which is […]

Carne Argentina Street Food

Uncommon Argentinian sandwiches are the main draw at this Baker eatery, from lomitos (pork) and choripanes (sausage) to vacios (steak) and milanesas (breaded cutlet). Also notable: the crusty, crunchy wedge fries seasoned with a house spice blend that you can dip in tangy chimichurri for a true taste of Buenos Aires.

Carniceria Aaliyah

Federal Boulevard is rife with good Mexican grub, much of it from market lunch counters where you can grab groceries and then sit down for a plate of tacos or a steaming bowl of caldo de res. Carniceria Aaliyah, which opened in the second half of 2016, has a tidy, well-stocked butcher counter, a few […]

La Flor De Michoacan

If you’ve seen the graveled parking lot of Carniceria y Taqueria La Flor de Michoacan filling up promptly at 4 p.m. every Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a brotherhood of food warriors — burly men drawn by the mingled scents of char and sizzle permeating the air — you might have wondered what that makeshift, […]

Carnitas Estilo Michoacan

There are two Carnitas Estilo Michoacan locations in southwest Denver, and both of them offer the same lineup of condiments that won the restaurant Denver’s Best Salsa Bar in 2012. While the dining areas can be a little close and cluttered, we’ll camp out on a bar stool and wait for an order of chilaquiles […]

Cart-Driver

For a decade, the original Cart-Driver in RiNo has been a destination for perfectly bubbly, charred, wood-fired Neapolitan pizza that remains some of the best in town. Oysters and tinned fish are also served from the small space made from a shipping container. While its larger LoHi outpost has been closed for repairs since December […]

Cart-Driver

The 2014 opening of Cart-Driver ushered in a wave of Neapolitan pizza in Denver. These perfectly charred wood-fired pies shine whether you opt for a simple margherita (called the Daisy here) or a seasonal creation. A meal in the tiny, original shipping-container location in RiNo is an intimate yet lively experience, while the newer outpost […]

Casselman’s Bar & Venue

The last word of the name Casselman’s Bar & Venue really tells you what you need to know: This is a venue, above all, and a huge one, located on a warehouse-y stretch of Walnut Street in the Ballpark neighborhood. While the venue brings in an assortment of acts throughout the week, the space can […]
