Park House / Peacemaker’s Cajun Kitchen

Once home to the Normandy, PS 1515 and the Pink Elephant, the Park House opened at Colfax Avenue and Madison Street in 2012. Located just a few blocks east of the Bluebird Theater, it’s a real neighborhood spot – a comfortable watering hole where you can drop by for a drink or plop yourself in […]

Parlor Doughnuts

Founded in Indiana by a father-and-son team, Parlor Doughnuts made its way to Denver in 2021 when a family friend of the original owners who lived in Colorado took an opportunity to ditch his sales career and opened locations here. Parlor’s signature layered doughnuts are plump, tall, fully draped in icing and made with laminated […]

Pearl’s

Pearl’s nightclub, at 608 East 13th Avenue in the Capitol Hill neighborhood, is a cutting edge social spot and dance club. If you love music, are looking for a place to shake your booty with your friends, or are looking for a casual nightclub or neighborhood bar to hang, Pearl’s is the spot. Pearl’s hosts […]

Pepsi Center

Before the Pepsi Center was built in 1999, the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche played their games in McNichols Arena (which has since been razed to complete a parking lot for the football stadium). It was more than time for a new venue; McNichols did the trick for nearly a quarter-century, but the facility desperately […]

Pete’s Gyros Place

Unsurprisingly, Pete’s Gyros specializes in gyros — shaved off the stick, wrapped in griddled pitas with onions and tomatoes and graced with a generous handful of crumbled feta. It also offers burgers grilled at any hour, assembled with surprisingly fresh ingredients, and always served with bagged, frozen Sysco fries. There’s also a good souvlaki — […]

Pete’s Kitchen

While the diner scene has dwindled in Denver in recent years, the pancake-flipping neon chef above Pete’s Kitchen remains a beacon on East Colfax for those who need to sate their hunger in the darkest hours of the night – on weekends, at least, when the eatery keeps the grill hot all day and overnight […]

Peter’s Chinese Cafe

Since 1985, Peter Chan has overseen the action in the Congress Park neighborhood from his small eatery, where both he and his take on Chinese American fare have become a staple. When the craving for sesame chicken or moo shu pork strikes, give Peter’s a call (you won’t find it on any delivery apps). Most […]

Pink Tank

While Pink Tank set up shop inside Pub on Pearl in May 2017, its menu remains staunchly loyal to its food truck roots. While other trucks hustle burgers, pizza and ice cream –not that there’s anything wrong with those — Pink Tank is where you go for the F-Bomb, a hefty hot dog weighted with […]

Pints Pub

Pints Pub claims to have the largest collection of single-malt whisky outside of Britain — and it certainly has the largest collection in Denver. The spot is also a brewpub, and it crafts a variety of beers, including English-style cask-conditioned live brews and low-alcohol session ales. And it’s from that activity that Scott Diamond, who […]

Platform T

Somewhere between a coffee klatch and high tea is Denver-based Platform T, which turns the coffee-shop idea on its head by serving up piping-hot or even ice-cold cups of tea, coffee’s fancy cousin from the city. The T shops are simple, modern and serve a colorful variety of teas, from bagged to loose-leaf. Not an […]

Pop’s Place

Longtime Denver chef Stephen Kleinman and sausage impresario Jim Pittenger, founder of Biker Jim’s Gourmet Dogs, teamed up to open an all-day eatery in the Ballpark neighborhood on April 1, 2016 – a decision that Pittenger said would allow him to say “April Fool’s!” if things didn’t work out. But no foolin’, the duo is […]
