Peter’s Chinese Cafe

Since 1985, Peter Chan has overseen the action in the Congress Park neighborhood from his small eatery, where both he and his take on Chinese American fare have become a staple. When the craving for sesame chicken or moo shu pork strikes, give Peter’s a call (you won’t find it on any delivery apps). Most […]

Phil’s Place

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that Phil’s Place is a dive bar, even though it’s certainly the most modest spot in this booming area of RiNo, across from both the Exdo Event Center and a new Chuburger. But Phil’s Place long pre-dates those spots; Phil Garcia bought the Our Place bar before RiNo was […]

Pho 79

Although known for hearty noodle soups brimming with slices of our favorite cuts of beef that we crave when the weather turns chilly, this outpost of Pho 79 also features regional Vietnamese specialties that are perfect any time of the year. On hotter days, we’re fond of sharing a plate of banh xeo – egg-and-rice-flour […]

Pho 95

Every bowl of pho is just a little bit different, and every fan of Vietnamese cuisine has a preference. But Denver as a whole has latched on to Pho 95 as its favorite destination for big bowls of beefy broth and rice noodles. And that’s no wonder, as owner Aaron Le has delivered consistency and […]

Pho Duy

Located in a sea of noodle shops along South Federal Boulevard, Pho Duy still serves the best pho in town from this former KFC it moved to in 2015. The aromatic broth, fresh and flavorful meats, and options far beyond the standards – there’s even a vegetarian broth – keep this pho joint on the […]

Pho Fusion

Pho Fusion covers four countries with a thirty-dish menu that includes pho, hot-and-sour and wonton soups, simple shrimp-lettuce-and-noodle spring rolls and deep-fried Vietnamese pork egg rolls. The food is fast, filling and good. Owner Tom Bird is deeply rooted in Denver’s Vietnamese community, and he’s onto something here — maybe the formula for a fast-food […]

Phoenician Kabob

On East Colfax Avenue, restaurants tend to get lost in the long procession of storefronts, many in various states of disrepair. But Phoenician Kabob has managed to stay in people’s memories despite its setting. Silky hummus, housemade pita and perfectly prepared Middle Eastern standards (don’t miss the namesake kabobs) are all draws, but the details […]

Pico De Gallo

Starting at 6 a.m., the faithful elbow their way through the doors of Pico de Gallo, a comradely strip-mall Mexican joint, looking for the town’s best breakfast burrito. Stuffed like a sumo wrestler before his next throwdown, the griddled tortilla is packed with scrambled eggs, crumbles of housemade chorizo that drip with just the right […]

Pie Hole

This simple eatery has been meeting the essential needs of bar-hoppers and Baker neighbors alike since 2013. Pinball machines? Check. Goofy murals and even goofier pizza names? Check. Dollar PBRs all day, every day? You got it. Tasty thin-crust pizzas, including at least two vegan options daily? Absolutely. And with both slices and pies served […]

The Pig ‘N’ Whistle

The Pig ‘N’ Whistle’s name harks back to Eddie Bohn’s famous West Colfax Avenue complex, which contained a motel, a barbecue joint and a lounge patronized by boxing legends such as Jack Dempsey. Sadly, the original Pig closed and then burned years ago, but the medical marijuana dispensary now at this address is serving some […]

The Pig & the Sprout

The decor of this Union Station neighborhood eatery is part industrial chic, part library, part dusty old toy shop; witness the dining-room accent wall, which shouts “OINK” in huge, curving letters as you enter. And the food is no less fun: A playful menu with a respectable number of veggie offerings touts crispy sunchokes, cooked […]

Pink Tank

While Pink Tank set up shop inside Pub on Pearl in May 2017, its menu remains staunchly loyal to its food truck roots. While other trucks hustle burgers, pizza and ice cream –not that there’s anything wrong with those — Pink Tank is where you go for the F-Bomb, a hefty hot dog weighted with […]

Pints Pub

Pints Pub claims to have the largest collection of single-malt whisky outside of Britain — and it certainly has the largest collection in Denver. The spot is also a brewpub, and it crafts a variety of beers, including English-style cask-conditioned live brews and low-alcohol session ales. And it’s from that activity that Scott Diamond, who […]

The Pioneer

University of Denver sports teams are dubbed the Pioneers, and we think any frontiersman (or -woman) would appreciate the hearty fare at the Pioneer, a DU watering hole. The fare is bar food, but it’s quality bar food, including top-notch green chile and some of the town’s best nachos, with every chip loaded individually. And […]

Piper Inn

The Piper Inn looks like a biker bar – and it is. But it’s also an everyone-else bar. You can find your mom, your co-worker and dudes who ride Harleys all enjoying cold brews and house specialties like Chinese-style wings, burgers and carne asada fries. The bar, which opened in 1968, was named for the […]
