Fourleaf Chopped Salads

Those in the know in the Denver Tech Center area have one destination in mind when they’re looking for a quick salad made with quality ingredients. That’s why there’s always a line at Fourleaf Chopped Salads, which is tucked away in a strip mall off an I-25 frontage road in a below-street-level storefront that you’d […]

Gallo Supper Club and Bakery

This Englewood eatery may not be decades old, but despite debuting less than five years ago, it has all the markings of a classic. The family behind Gallo is from Sicily, and splits the space between a bakery counter and a sit-down dining area complete with a full bar. Like many red-sauce joints in town, […]

Garibaldi Mexican Bistro

This little eatery is wedged between a Conoco and an automated car wash, but don’t let the location fool you: This is one of the top spots in town for tacos as well as specials like lamb barbacoa and quesadillas with huitlacoche and squash blossoms. Other hard-to-find regional dishes include pambazos (smothered tortas), nopales rellenos […]

Gothic Theatre

Opened during the Roaring Twenties, the Gothic Theatre had a long run as a movie house until Steve Schalk took it over in the late ’90s, saving it from the wrecking ball. Schalk remodeled and rebuilt the venue from the foundation to the roof, but left the theater’s art-deco-style interior intact. Now it’s a magnificent […]

Greenwood Athletic Club

The Greenwood Athletic Club has a lot to show for its nearly three decades of operation in Greenwood Village. In addition to five impressive outdoor tennis courts that are open year-round, the club also boasts seven impeccable, air-conditioned indoor courts. And if tennis isn’t your exercise of choice, don’t stress: In 2011 the facility added […]

Hacienda Colorado

Hacienda Colorado is a homegrown chain, one that’s coined the term “Mountain Mex” for its food. So while you’ll find traditional Mexican dishes on the menu, they’ve all been given a local twist – and you may find that your tacos and burritos have been stuffed with local ingredients, from marinated meats to fresh produce. […]

Hapa Sushi Grill & Sake Bar

Hapa Sushi is essentially a fusion restaurant, offering sliders, nachos and Fuji-apple-and-bleu-cheese salads on the one hand, poke don, kanpyo maki and a small spread of sashimi on the other. It caters quite deliberately to rookies, actually naming a section of the menu “Beginner Sushi Rolls,” which is followed by “Intermediate” and then flows right […]

IKEA

Jalapenos Mexican Food

Jalapeno’s is on a roll with its breakfast burritos, the very best in town. Denverites take their breakfast burritos as seriously as they do their bicycle laps around Washington Park, so you can find these eye-openers at hundreds of burrito trucks, burrito carts and burrito shacks sprinkled throughout the city. But none of them compare […]

Jing

Jing, an upscale sibling to Cherry Creek’s Little Ollie’s, sports a sexy dining room, a well-stocked bar and a menu of nouvelle Asian cuisine — just the thing for well-heeled locals hungry for good food in the environs of the Tech Center. Try the Peking duck and cioppino if you’re looking for something more traditional; […]

Juicy Burgers & Dogs

Juicy Burgers & Dogs is located in a minimalist space in the corner of a small strip mall in Centennial. And like the space, a Juicy burger isn’t all gussied up. Instead, a hand-molded, properly salt-and-peppered patty — made of freshly ground beef, lamb or chicken, all procured from Colorado — is char-grilled until it […]

Lady Justice Brewing

There was a collective pause when Lady Justice announced it was leaving north Aurora for Englewood. The Aurora scene has recovered nicely, though, with the opening of several standout breweries and a cidery in that area. And Lady Justice sorely needed an expanded taproom. The brewery can now hold bigger and better events, regularly filling […]

Landmark Greenwood Village

Located off I-25 near Belleview and Quebec, this six-screen theater features mostly independent and foreign-language films. Amenities include digital sound, stadium seating, a bar and lounge offering beer, wine, and cocktails, a special concessions menu with popcorn and fountain drinks included in the price of admission, and VIP service including deluxe seating and in-theater wait […]
