Fruition

It’s been seventeen years since James Beard Award-winning chef/restaurateur Alex Seidel opened Fruition, and if you think this spot is only for fancy nights out, it’s time to visit again. Despite its reputation as a celebration spot, Fruition has always aimed to be more of a neighborhood bistro. Its current chef, Jarred Russell, came from […]

Full Afterburner Calzones

While basic pizza dough is made with flour, water, yeast, salt and olive oil, the dough at Full Afterburner Calzones is made with five additional (top-secret) ingredients. The result is a super-thin, slightly crisp exterior that eats more like a sandwich and is ideal for grabbing on the run or downing late-night after drinks at […]

Gaetano’s

Most of the red-sauce joints that once proliferated in northwest Denver have dried up, but Gaetano’s is now more than seventy years old. Of course, it’s gone through some changes over the decades after being founded by the Smaldone mob family, who installed bulletproof glass in the front door and ran illegal poker games in […]

Gaia’s Plant-Based Medicine

Gaia PlantBased Medicine is in a decent East Colfax location, with a sidewalk storefront situated between a salon and one of the best low-key lunch spots in Denver, La Guarida Cubana.

Garner Galleria Theatre

The Garner Galleria Theatre is the most intimate space in the Denver Performing Arts Complex. It hosts touring productions, local shows, acting classes and special events year-round.

Gary Lee’s Motor Club and Grub

After many unexpected delays, Gary Lee Bomar finally opened Gary Lee’s Motor Club and Grub in 2012, in a formerly run-down garage space that was refurbished and transformed into a vintage, car-themed roadhouse with a great patio. Remember to check out the decorative detail while you chow down on a smoked Portobello sandwich or pulled […]

Gaslamp

Partly inspired by San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, Denver’s Gaslamp bridges the gap between an upscale and casual. Greg Gallagher, who also owns the Front Porch a block east, made the Gaslamp feel high end, but the drink aren’t. To take the edge off of its swankiness, it also sports a ping pong table near the […]
