Milk

When Rock Island closed in 2006 after a long, legendary run, it left a big hole in the gothic and industrial communities. And while there are still rumors that the Island will start up again one day, it’s probably not going to happen anytime soon. In the meantime, for those who frequented the legendary 15th […]

Milk & Honey Bar-Kitchen

In the summer of 2015, Larimer Square added another high-end option for diners: Milk & Honey Bar-Kitchen. Old-timers might remember chef-owner Michael Shiell as the name behind Michael’s of Cherry Creek, which had a long run in the ’90s. But there’s nothing old about Milk & Honey. Located in an elegantly remodeled subterranean space across […]

Milkbox Ice Creamery

Milkshakes aren’t just for kids. At Milkbox Creamery, you can choose from a handful of pre-determined boozy options, use a list of available spirits to make your own, or grill the counter staffers for their favorite liquor-fueled creations. How about Key lime pie and coconut ice cream with rum? Or maybe s’mores ice cream spiked […]

Millers & Rossi

An unprepossessing storefront at the north end of the Tracks/EXDO building at 35th and Walnut streets doesn’t look much like RiNo’s hippest new gathering space. From the outside, it looks like a dentist’s office or a small legal firm. The name on the door, Millers & Rossi, might even support that notion. But those in […]

Milwaukee Street Tavern

One of the few sports bars in the heart of Cherry Creek North, the Milwaukee Street Tavern seems a bit out of place among the chic stores and restaurants in the area. Like the nearby Cherry Cricket, the place feels very un-Creek – a good thing if you’re looking to get away from the neighborhood’s […]

Mirada Fine Art Gallery

Mirada Fine Art Gallery occupies the historic trading post in Indian Hills. The gallery features artists whose work has a Colorado flavor, and Mirada has been rewarded for its dedication with a handful of best art-gallery awards in recent years. But the scenic setting is reason enough to visit.

Misfit Snackbar

Chef Bo Porytko was half of the duo behind Rebel Restaurant, which served some of Denver’s most thrilling cuisine for three years before closing in 2018. Now he’s manning his own tiny kitchen inside the Middleman, where he turns out a dizzying array of small plates and bigger dishes, with no regard for culinary tradition […]

Mister Tuna

Troy Guard has channeled his hybrid Pacific Rim/Mediterranean/Latin style through many venues since landing in Denver in the early 2000s. But at Mister Tuna, which opened in RiNo in 2016, it all comes together: his childhood in Hawaii, time under fusion powerhouse Roy Yamaguchi, and a career absorbing Rocky Mountain influences. The result is a […]

Mizel Museum

Founded in 1982 by Rabbi Stanley Wagner and Carol and Larry A. Mizel, the Mizel Museum is a place where Judaism in Denver intersects with the rest of the world. In its 25 years of existence, the museum has hosted many important exhibits of global concern, including 100 Years of Art in Israel, Art from […]

Mizu Izakaya

What’s an izakaya? In short, it’s a Japanese pub with food intended to go with drinks. But to experience for yourself how the izakaya concept translates to the hip LoHi neighborhood, head over to Mizu Izakaya, which opened at the end of 2016 in a corner space that had once seemed doomed and now is […]

Mizuna

Mizuna was the first restaurant from chef Frank Bonanno, whose empire now includes restaurants, bars and even a food hall. The flagship, which specializes in French cooking techniques, has served as a training ground for some of the city’s best chefs, and is a much-loved neighborhood spot. Without Mizuna, Denver’s culinary landscape would be far […]
