Red & Jerry’s

This sports bar/restaurant offers off-track wagering, but the sandwiches are the real winners, sided by warm kettle chips and a kosher dill.

Rock Bottom Brewery

This is an upscale but comfortable brewpub with gourmet pub grub and plenty of chic atmosphere to spare. The food is above average, the beers are good, and the servers are just as likely to sit down and chat with you as they are to wait on you.

Pho Saigon

There are some restaurants where the world does not intrude — rooms where time does not pass, weather never changes, current events go unnoted. Pho Saigon is one of those places, unaltered by time and circumstance, with service that”s always quick and friendly. Another constant is the excellent pho, but the menu also extends to […]

Samurai

Bow to Japanese tradition: Reserve a tatami-mat room and settle in for a delightful, multicourse dinner. Or opt for the sushi, which competes with any in town.

Santiago’s Mexican Restaurant

Colorado is lucky to have many homegrown Mexican chains — but none have been as successful as Santiago’s.
