From a distance, Rosie’s Diner looks like another one of those ’50s-style nostalgia joints. But once you sit down in this perfect replica of a diner, you quickly realize there’s more to Rosie’s than nostalgia. Great malts, for starters, as well as fast and friendly service. The kitchen cooks fresh every day, serving classic American […]

Ignore the nowhere location: Guadalajara’s dining rooms are full of families — Mexican and otherwise — that enjoy this restaurant’s casual vibe, unbelievably friendly service and delicious, authentic south-of-the-border cuisine. Dishes on the menu sell for half what you’d pay for a gussied-up, white tablecloth version downtown. Most of the menu will be familiar to […]

Located on East Alameda Avenue right off of I-225, the Cinema Grill offers full-service in-theater dining, with a menu that includes appetizers, entrees and desserts as well as beer, wine and cocktails. It screens first-run feature films in both regular-format and 3-D.
This joint has the best name of any local buffets, as well as the best logo: a creepy, grinning, big-eyed panda with a knife and fork in his hands. Mr. Panda is spotlessly clean and bright, and everything on the multiple buffet tables — which hold more than a hundred items — is piping hot […]
The Frontier Club offers the feel of a bygone era, a time when farmers populated the eastern stretches of the metro area. The bar sits between the fringes of older, suburban Aurora and clusters of recent development to the west, giving it the feel of a friendly, relaxed outpost on the edge of urban chaos. […]
L & L Hawaiian Barbecue is a Big Island phenomenon, a locals-only Honolulu hangout gone franchise. Lunches and dinners are done plate-style, resulting in a mountain of Pacific Rim picnic grub: chicken katsu with macaroni salad and sushi rice, roast pork, huge Spam handrolls called musubi. Lovers of cheap, fun fare, be there — and […]

East End Applied Arts opened in 2004 as a gallery for owner Kim Harrell’s silversmith work and jewelry. In July 2010, she decreased the gallery’s floor space to be a showroom for her work and that of artist Phyllis Rider. Every third Saturday, Harrell hosts a beading class for the public.
From the great outside patio, Emerald Isle has a biker bar/roadhouse vibe — but inside, there’s a total role reversal, with a pleasant dining room and bar, caricatures of regulars on the walls and friendly service. The music is good (if Metallica and ’90s alterna-metal is your thing), and the food can be great: Americanized […]
A longtime country-Western club, bar and restaurant, Stampede began branching out into the Latin market in 2018 after Bluebird Theater and Goosetown Tavern owner Chris Swank took over the 2000-person venue and made interior and exterior renovations. While Stampede still brings in occasional country acts, it also books big names in Banda and Tejano music.
Mile High Harley Davidson has three locations: Aurora, Parker, and Concourse B of the Denver International Airport. With the exception of the latter, the stors all offer new and used bikes as well as repair. If you’re looking for gifts, the DIA location is the place to be. It’s filled with all things Harley, from […]

The Majestic Saloon somehow feels larger than the modest space it occupies in a strip mall off Parker Road. There’s a lot packed into the place: pool tables, a jukebox, a shuffleboard table and a small stage that hosts weekly karaoke sessions and occasional live performances. The bar’s menu is equally ambitious and boasts a […]
The menu at Luigi’s Bent Noodle issues a challenge: “If this isn’t the best minestrone recipe you’ve ever tasted, we want your recipe.” We doubt anyone this side of Italy has anything to beat this minestrone; the bewitching brew has an appropriately rough-edged flavor and is available by the cup, the bowl and the really […]
The Sheabeen Irish Pub offers plenty of decor to match its Gaelic namesake. Maps of Ireland, vintage wooden Guinness placards and green flags dot the walls, and a poster from one of the first Colorado Irish Festivals bears a signature from Irish folk legend Tommy Makem. The authentic feel of the bar goes beyond its […]
