To find a cafe that offers nearly thirty wines by the glass is always rewarding. To find those offerings in the congenial and homey locale that is Neighbors is nothing short of wonderful. This Park Hill cafe opened in 2011 and has been embraced not only by the neighborhood, but by diners from all over […]

The New Climax Lounge

Climax Lounge celebrated its fortieth birthday in 2011 (around the time the name was changed to the New Climax Lounge), proving that time flies when you’re having fun. The joint has a colorful past: In the ’90s, as the Raven, it hosted punk-rock acts; the Fray and M. Ward have also played there. These days […]

New Orient Restaurant

With friendly servers and a kitchen skilled in the smoky rusticity of Vietnamese cooking, the two-decade-old New Orient is a solid choice for those looking for authentic flavor in the middle of the ‘burbs.

New Saigon Bakery & Deli

While now-shuttered neighbor New Saigon offered a phonebook-sized menu with every possible combo of protein, noodle, rice and sauce, its spinoff, New Saigon Bakery, draws regulars with super-sized banh mi on house-baked French baguettes. Salty-sweet barbecued pork, luscious pâté and generous stacks of deli meats make for stellar sandwiches. Beyond banh mi, there are also […]

New York Deli News

New York Deli News is Denver’s answer to the famed Carnegie Deli of Manhattan, with a few important differences. Although the plates are substantial, typically heaped with corned beef, pastrami and brisket imported from New York, they’re not huge – and neither is the bill. More significantly, the servers are friendly and patient, giving diners […]

New York Pizzeria

ND Streetbar

ND Streetbar (formerly the Kitchen Next Door and then Next Door American Eatery) is a casual offshoot of the Kitchen, the high-end, community-oriented bistro founded in Boulder over a decade ago. There are now three outposts in Boulder, Denver’s Union Station and the Central Park neighborhood. All are hip, community-oriented and casual, with an emphasis […]

Next Door Lounge

After the short-lived Jazzmatazz Lounge closed, the space next to Limon Peruvian restaurant was renovated and transformed into the Next Door Lounge. Will Olson, one of the owners, wanted a place with cheap drinks, good food, a relaxing vibe and an unpretentious atmosphere. And that’s essentially what you get at this cozy neighborhood watering hole […]

The Nickel

When the Nickel opened mid-summer 2014 in the Hotel Teatro, it had a big void to fill, created when Prima and Restaurant Kevin Taylor closed to make way for a complete remodel of the hotel’s ground floor. With only one restaurant to serve the hotel and its guests as well as hungry theater-goers and Denverites […]
