Tap Fourteen Colorado Beer Garden

Tap Fourteen opened its second Denver beer bar in January 2018, following the original on the rooftop of Hayter’s at 1920 Blake Street. This one is on street level, so it lacks the views of the LoDo location, but the wrap-around patio makes an ideal spot for neighbors and their pooches to wander in for […]

Taste of Philly

The original six-seater takeout place on Colorado Boulevard was founded by a guy from Pennsylvania, and even though Taste of Philly is now owned by folks from South Jersey, they still know how to make a real Philadelphia cheesesteak. All in all, it’s a perfect sandwich in every way. As an added bonus, there’s a […]

Tavern Uptown

Like the other Taverns, the Tavern Uptown draws a sizable nightly crowd from the surrounding neighborhoods. Those twenty- and thirty-something professionals pack into the dark bar and expansive back patio for drink specials, televised sporting events and socializing. While many come just for the beers and the party — which is more mellow Uptown than […]

Telegraph

This Washington Park eatery is owner Christopher Sargent’s second restaurant. Like Brazen, Sargent’s initial foray into Denver’s restaurant scene, Telegraph boasts a small, tight menu – dinner tops out at thirteen offerings – with the bulk of the plates on the smaller side. Luckily for diners, Telegraph also echoes the elements that made Brazen so […]

Thai Monkey Club

Some like it hot – and at Thai Monkey Club, you can get your Thai as hot as you want if. Which, if you order it “Thai hot,” is almost as hot as you’d find in Thailand. And nearly everything else about the casual, comfortable Thai Monkey Club is exactly as you’d find it in […]

The Church Nightclub

Stained-glass windows, high-beamed gothic architecture and hundreds of candles spread throughout the Church suggest a pious vibe in the former house of worship, but the congregation is as mixed as they come. Built in 1865, the roomy, multi-level Lincoln Street mainstay draws globally based DJs, local residents, retro lovers, even the under-21 set: Sections of […]

The Compound Basix

Open from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. seven days a week, 365 days a year, the Compound’s corner-bar (and gay-bar) legacy is just that: a twenty-plus-year run as a drinking place that barely closes. Weekday patrons start rolling in from hospital night shifts to take advantage of the early opening (and a 7 a.m. happy […]

The Humble Pie Store

When the Humble Pie Store reopened in Congress Park in early 2016 after more than a year without a home, a collective sigh of relief emanated from pie aficionados across the city. No longer will we have to content ourselves with special orders; finally, there’s a place we can get our pies – sweet or […]

The Thirsty Monk

The monastic life may not hold much appeal in the modern world, but it does have one major perk: the brews. Monks – particularly Belgian brothers – have long supported themselves through brewing and make some of the most famous beers in the world. If you aren’t of an ecclesiastical disposition (or just can’t make […]

The Three Lions

With 6.6 billion people on the earth who view soccer (or football) as their sport of choice, it’s surprising there aren’t more spots like the Three Lions, which opened in the former Bank Bar & Grill space in August 2011. Billing itself as a world football pub, the Three Lions is modeled after a traditional […]
