Voicebox

Voicebox brought its karaoke concept from Portland, Oregon, to Denver in late 2016 with a simple twist: Would-be singers rent a private suite with anywhere from two to thirty of their best friends and start belting out the classics (“Don’t Stop Believin’,” anyone?) in semi-privacy. Servers pop their heads in to take drink orders; choose […]

Voodoo Doughnut

Since the Portland, Oregon-based Voodoo Doughnut opened its first out-of-state store on East Colfax Avenue, there’s usually been a line out the door for fans of the magical pink boxes. Voodoo makes more than a 100 kinds of doughnuts, including simple glazed, frosted or sprinkled; a doughnut shaped like a blunt, dipped in maple frosting […]

#VYBE

A self-proclaimed “community bar,” #VYBE (previously Broadways), which sits just blocks from Civic Center Park, has been a pre- and post-parade destination for spirited PrideFest-goers for years. But during the rest of the year, the storefront spot is a nondescript hangout for everyone, with a pool table garnering the most attention and a tiny bungalow […]

The W

This Park Hill space was formerly home to the Elm, a great Boston bar. It’s been other concepts since then, but nothing has stuck – which we hope changes with the W. The place is a passion project for husband-and-wife team (and longtime Park Hill residents) Ernest and Carrie Wigglesworth, who brightened up the place […]

W.T. Shorty’s

A multi-level, cavernous sports bar tucked away in a South Denver strip mall, W.T. Shorty’s has a dark wooden interior that feels like an adult version of Casa Bonita. Instead of cliff diving, though, there’s a massive, three-sided center bar backed by a wall of flat-screen TVs. Each seat in the house seems positioned for […]

Waffle House

You know you’ve become an American icon when you make regular appearances in Larry the Cable Guy’s standup routine, and by that standard, Waffle House is the Elvis Presley of Interstate dining. With more than 1,400 franchises in 25 states (including Denver / Boulder), this Georgia-based breakfast joint, founded in 1955, is among a handful […]

Wahoo’s Fish Taco

The grilled mahi-mahi tacos alone are worth a stop at this fun, Baja-inspired space that specializes in tortillas filled with fish done healthy. Much of the food is made to order, and it’s all delivered in abundance, with rice and black beans rounding out the plates. Wahoo’s also makes an exceptional margarita.

The Walnut Room Pizzeria

You can slum it with a slice and a drink for $5 at just about every pizza joint in town, but when you want to slum it in style, either location of the Walnut Room feels your vibe. At lunchtime, a fresh-faced server, usually of the hipster sort, will trot out an eight-inch, thin-crusted pizza […]

Walter’s 303 Pizzeria & Publik House

Mike Kienast opened this casual neighborhood pizza joint in late 2010 to cater to the Uptown area with pizzas, calzones, baked sandwiches, salads and homemade desserts. In 2016, Kienast took on new partners – old friends John and Stacy Turk, who are longtime fixtures in Denver’s craft-beer scene; John used to helm a Denver craft-beer […]

Walton Donuts

Walton Donuts has only been open since 2004, but it has the old soul of a lived-in doughnut stop. Customers can pop in for simple, no-nonsense options like the basic cake doughnut (perfect for coffee-dipping), iced doughnuts with toppings ranging from peanuts to coconut and sprinkles, and cinnamon rolls and maple-topped twists.
