Stella’s Coffee

Stella’s opened its doors in 1991, and today it fills several eclectic rooms in a house on South Pearl. Those rooms are almost always packed; students and telecommuters share mismatched tables in the quiet nooks during the day, couples and friends catch live music acts and chat on the front porch at night. And at […]

Stella’s on 16th

Forget the fact that Stella’s on 16th looks like a food court, albeit a very sunny one with a cool triangular community table and a patio with couches and fire pits. After all, even in our highly informal era, when chefs are just as likely to run fast-casuals as sit-downs, and when today’s food halls […]

Stem Ciders

The city’s cider scene has grown a lot in recent years, but Stem continues to be a leader in innovation. In December 2022, it celebrated the grand opening of its new RiNo taproom, which boasts more space than its original home and a full food menu. Enjoy a flight of ciders that range from fruity […]

Steuben’s Food Truck

Steuben’s was the first restaurant in town to jump on the mobile-food bandwagon, retrofitting an old lunch truck and sending it out onto the streets of Denver in the summer of 2010. The kitchen is tiny, but the flavors coming out of it are big. The crew serves up many of the specialties that are […]

Steuben’s Uptown

Steuben’s is named after a Boston diner once run by founder Josh Wolkon’s family. Since 2006, this retro joint has paid tribute to regional American favorites, from well-made lobster rolls to juicy green chile cheeseburgers. Steuben’s was also a pioneer in large-format cocktails, so the bar has years of experience batching booze – which you […]

Stiles African American Heritage Center

The Stiles African American Heritage Center is an on-site extension of African American History on Wheels, which got its start in 1992. The center is located in a Victorian frame house in Five Points, in the heart of Denver’s historic African-American community. The museum displays pictures and artifacts that piece together the lives of dozens […]

Stir Cooking School

So you dig all things retro, and like those ’50s magazine ads, you like to putter in the kitchen with a cocktail glass in hand. Stir Cooking School is the perfect setting in which to learn a new recipe, get a lesson from a professional chef or delve into an exotic cuisine – all while […]

Stockyard Saloon

During the annual National Western Stock Show, the Stockyard Saloon – located in a historic building in the heart of the old packinghouse district – is the hottest place in town. But this watering hole is worth a visit the rest of the year, too. The second-floor space offers an interesting view of the rapidly […]

Stoney’s Bar and Grill

While there’s a Stoney’s outpost in Uptown, the original is one of our favorite places on game days – or any day. The sprawling space can accommodate big crowds, and there’s plenty of room to belly up to one of the two bars, where you can order Colorado beers on tap. In the front of […]

Stout St. Social

Because of this spacious, eclectic eatery’s location in the heart of downtown’s convention and theater district, the menu offers all things for all people, including sushi, oysters, burgers and bar snacks. The real reason to check out Stout Street Social, though, is its happy hour. Food and drink specials are both are bountiful here, from […]

Stowaway Kitchen
