Cross the threshold of Caffe Sanora and the rowdiness of East Colfax fades away. The place is quiet but not library silent, as a chatty mix of business-casual regulars trickle down from the offices above, gaggles of students meet up for a board game, and other characters pop in off the street for a beer […]
Despite the restaurant’s name, the giant salads and innovative pastas are the better choices at this appealing spot located at the front of the Cherry Creek Shopping Center — which makes it a good option for a mid-shopping meal (and also makes for great people-watching). If you do go for the pizza, you’ll find an […]

At their worst, wine lists are pompous, stratospherically overpriced, ridiculously long, awkwardly categorized and full of overexposed, yawn-inducing labels. But at Caveau Wine Bar, the 75-bottle list (55 are available by the glass) is an easy-to-navigate document of new discoveries, small producers and familiar but not overrated labels. The polished yet easygoing staff is well-versed […]

Even with all of its breweries, Denver needed a place that was cultured but unpretentious, intellectual but neighborhood-focused, nerdy but not condescending, something…cerebral. Oh, and with fantastic beer. That’s what it got with Cerebral Brewing, a mellow spot just off Colfax Avenue that is making some of Denver’s best beer and presenting it in a […]

The name seems odd, but you won’t get burned when you eat at Charcoal. The restaurant, which Gary Sumihiro opened in September 2011, takes its moniker from the charcoal-powered, custom-designed bincho grill, an Asian innovation that creates intense heat. And chef Patrik Landberg, a native of Sweden, uses that grill to good effect in many […]
Sometimes Colfax Avenue is so idiosyncratic that it risks becoming a caricature of itself. For evidence, look no further than Charlie’s, Colfax’s big, gay cowboy bar. Gaze upon the cowboy-boot disco ball that spins and glistens from the ceiling. Don’t miss the translucent machine that blows money (or whatever else) around as dancers – also […]
