Black Book Gallery

Denver’s Black Book Gallery is a major spot for urban art in Denver. The monthly exhibits feature both local and nationally prominent artists, showing work that’s affordable and current.

The Black Box

The dual-room venue is fully equipped with powerful, state-of-the-art Basscouch Sound. A haven for artists, audiophiles, and partygoers alike, The Black Box is headquarters for Colorado’s underground music community.

Black Eye Coffee

The Capitol Hill outpost of Black Eye Coffee, which opened in fall 2015, has a decidedly different vibe than that of its older sibling. This Black Eye is a luxe, art-deco-style space, all dark woods and black and gold detailing. While the excellent, single-origin coffee is the same, this location has a definite advantage: a […]

Black Sky Brewery

In September 2013, Harry Smith, a longtime brewer at Breckenridge Brewery, opened Black Sky Brewery, just a block from his old employer and with Breckenridge’s full support. Black Sky, which dishes up Connecticut-style pizza along with its beer, was a long time in the making. As noted on its website, the brewery’s 23 taps feature […]

Blue Ice

While it might have started off trying to be a non-LoDo-like bar, Blue Ice is probably the closest thing to a LoDo-vibed dance club in the Baker District — only with cheaper drinks. In fact, the martini bar has pretty much cornered the South Broadway dance-club market. The crowds vary with the club’s themed nights, […]

Blue Island Oyster Bar

The interior of Blue Island Oyster Bar captures the feel of a New England seafood house, albeit with Cherry Creek influences. Weathered chairs and barstools contrast with a sleek and clean-lined oyster bar, while dim architectural light fixtures shed a rippling, underwater glow on mural-sized maps and photos. The menu toes the same line, with […]

Bluebird Theater

The Bluebird Theater started hosting live music in 1994, and it didn’t take long for the theater, built in 1913, to become one of the city’s best midsized venues. With sculpted capitals, restored Victorian-style paintings and a vaulted ceiling, the place is as much a work of art as any of the touring and local […]

Bombay Clay Oven

All of the northern Indian classics are represented on Bombay Clay Oven’s menu, but you’ll also find dishes from all over the subcontinent, including a tangy, tamarind-laden Goan seafood curry. The chef-owner is also a tandoor specialist who has a particularly deft hand with chicken. You’ll find a couple of standout mango treats here, as […]

Bourbon Grill

Since 2002, the aroma of chargrilled chicken has wafted from Bourbon Grill, which began as a walk-up window with a perpetual line before moving into a larger space with indoor seating in 2017. The star, of course, is the bourbon chicken, served in a hefty portion over rice with a choice of two sides. Founder […]

Breckenridge Brewery and BBQ

Colorado is the brewpub capital of the world, and Breckenridge Brewery was one of the early pioneers that helped the state claim that crown. The main attraction at the Ballpark location is the brewery’s extensive selection of handcrafted beers, which can best be sampled during daily happy hour, but there’s also a good selection of […]

Brendan’s Pub

After sixty years, Jerry Feld sold his beloved Club 404, and in February 2012, the place reopened as Denver Wheel Club 404. But that incarnation never really got on a roll, and in November 2012, 404 Broadway changed ownership again. It’s been bought by Kevin Geraghty, owner of the defunct (and still missed) Brendan’s Pub, […]

Brik on York

In this era of craft beer, Brik on York stands out for its focus on wine. Chef/owner/sommelier Travis Gee offers an eight-page wine list, with old- and new-world wines by the half-glass, glass, half-bottle and bottle, and informative tidbits about each region. Wine isn’t the only focus, though. The menu includes an array of Neapolitan-style […]
