Many food trucks have exploded on the scene, and not all of them have been in it for the long haul. But the Vegan Van, which first hit the streets in November 2011, now has a steady route of regular stops where people make a point of showing up to try whatever seasonal favorites chef […]
In the fall of 2012, restaurateur Frank Bonanno took over one of the town’s most notorious watering holes: the Lancer Lounge, located right between Mizuna, the flagship of Bonanno Concepts, and the current location of Salita.

Known for decades as the Tap Inn, the Viking still holds it down as a bar-stool oasis along a stretch of West Colfax all but abandoned by other watering holes. Yes, it’s a biker bar by definition, but everyone is welcome: Regulars come in the form of blue-collar workers, lawyers, neighborhood day drinkers, and even […]
Vine Street Pub, one of the Mountain Sun spots, has been brewing its own beer since 2012, which makes it a particularly welcome hangout in Denver’s City Park neighborhood. A four-year closure starting in 2020 felt much, much longer to the spot’s loyal fans, who were ecstatic to hear of its reopening in June 2024. […]
Voicebox brought its karaoke concept from Portland, Oregon, to Denver in late 2016 with a simple twist: Would-be singers rent a private suite with anywhere from two to thirty of their best friends and start belting out the classics (“Don’t Stop Believin’,” anyone?) in semi-privacy. Servers pop their heads in to take drink orders; choose […]
Since the Portland, Oregon-based Voodoo Doughnut opened its first out-of-state store on East Colfax Avenue, there’s usually been a line out the door for fans of the magical pink boxes.

A self-proclaimed “community bar,” #VYBE (previously Broadways), which sits just blocks from Civic Center Park, has been a pre- and post-parade destination for spirited PrideFest-goers for years. But during the rest of the year, the storefront spot is a nondescript hangout for everyone, with a pool table garnering the most attention and a tiny bungalow […]

You can slum it with a slice and a drink for $5 at just about every pizza joint in town, but when you want to slum it in style, either location of the Walnut Room feels your vibe. At lunchtime, a fresh-faced server, usually of the hipster sort, will trot out an eight-inch, thin-crusted pizza […]
Mike Kienast opened this casual neighborhood pizza joint in late 2010 to cater to the Uptown area with pizzas, calzones, baked sandwiches, salads and homemade desserts. In 2016, Kienast took on new partners – old friends John and Stacy Turk, who are longtime fixtures in Denver’s craft-beer scene; John used to helm a Denver craft-beer […]

Six years after opening Katie Mullen’s on the 16th Street Mall, the bar’s owners took over the former biker-friendly Rockstar Bar and transformed it into the more upscale watering hole Wee Katie’s, which opened in early 2015.
