Dubb’s Pub

Dubb’s Pub offers karaoke Thursdays through Saturdays — and plenty of room to stretch out and listen. On a stretch of South Broadway that features car dealerships and dispensaries, the crowd inside Dubb’s is likely to contain more than a few mullets and muffin tops. Still, that’s part of the joint’s charm. Grab a drink […]

El Lucero

An unexpected Mexican gem in a strip mall, El Lucero makes a mean green, and the daily specials are always interesting. But it also puts together the best tacos al carbon we’ve found, with beef so soft and salty it’s like eating buttery popcorn. No one speaks much English, but “yum” is universal.

The Farm House Restaurant at Breckenridge Brewery

The Farm House at Breckenridge Brewery, the 8,000-square-foot restaurant on the twelve-acre, $36 million Breckenridge Brewery campus in Littleton, is nothing like the tap houses of yore. If not for the barn-like architectural elements – a vaulted ceiling, big windows and corrugated metal on the walls – the main dining room could pass for a […]

Fontana Sushi

Brothers Quiang and Sky Chen own this Fontana Sushi, the only link in a chain otherwise belonging to Kevin Lin. Wanting a place where they could offer both the authentic Japanese gyoza, soba, katsu and tempura that form the street-food backbone of their native cuisine as well as a spread of Tokyo new-wave dishes, the […]

Fraco’s

After a long run as the Toad Tavern, new owners took over the spot, one of the few live-music venues in Littleton, and changed the name to Fraco’s (it rhymes with “tacos”). While there’s still a focus on a variety of local bands, including on country and blues nights, Fraco’s also has pool tables and […]

Fun City

Fat City crams family vacation spot, first-date destination and frat-party funplex into one sausage casing – and it’s not nearly as far away as Sin City. Live music or DJs with an impressive sound system means even more people wish they could live in this City.

Grist Brewing

Grist Brewing opened in 2013 in Highlands Ranch with brewer Rob Kevwitch at the helm. Kevwitch has a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and studied “photodegradable dendrimer/polymeric systems” in a former life. Now he runs a brewery. Overqualified? Hardly. Making good beer takes a balance of science and creativity, and Kevwitch pours his heart into both […]

The Ice Ranch

Littleton’s Ice Ranch boasts a lengthy list of leagues, lessons and open skates to serve Denver’s southern suburbs. The facility can be rented out for private parties and corporate events. Most noteworthy is its popular Zamboni-driving class: For $100, adults eighteen or older can learn the history, safety features and operation of the ice-buffing machines.

India’s Best

A former bar in a Littleton small mall is now home to India’s Best Restaurant & Bar. There’s still a bar — along with a few TVs, friendly servers, and a lengthy syllabus of curries, samosas, naan and tandoori dishes that also includes a chile-intensive, searingly hot lamb vindaloo. –

Iwayama Sushi

For anyone familiar with the Asian restaurants of Denver’s many strip malls, Iwayama Sushi is instantly comfortable, with its hodge-podge decor from the pages of a Lowe’s home improvement catalog, rows of maneki-neko cats with paws raised in solidarity, and perky soy sauce bottles on every table. An extensive list of maki, nigiri and other […]
