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 […]

Tight End

At Denver’s first gay sports bar, you can watch the game on nine televisions or sip a boozy beverage on the sound-equipped patio…and enjoy a safe space to take in all sports. The drink list has all your sports-bar favorites, such as beer – lots of beer – shots of liquor and simple mixed drinks. […]

Tommy’s Thai

Tommy’s Thai straddles the border between real Thai cuisine and what those who’ve never had the real thing expect it to be. As a result, some of the offerings can come off tame by traditionalists’ standards – but that just means the kitchen has the freedom to experiment more. The dumplings, the curries and the […]

Tony’s Market

When Tony’s Market opened a downtown store, it added a few amenities that have made for many happy hours indeed. This Tony’s has not only all the features of its suburban siblings, but also an eat-in dining area, Tony’s Burgers, where you can get burgers (chicken, beef and bison, all locally ranged and ground in-house […]

Torchy’s Tacos

This Texas import opened its first Colorado location in February 2016, and opinions about it grew as quickly as the lines out the door. It’s a big, loud, flamboyant and insanely popular spot, so people love it or hate it with an intensity that matches its dazzling sign, which lights up the night like a […]

Town Hall Collaborative

Best friends Lauren Beno and Denise Day long dreamed of creating a safe space where women, BIPOC and queer communities could gather for parties and events. So in 2022, they rolled up their sleeves to crowdfund, making their dreams come true by building Town Hall Collaborative in a warehouse in the Art District on Santa […]

Trattoria Stella

Tom and Marna Sumners have doubled the fun with two locations of Trattoria Stella, their hip neighborhood bistro – one on the west side, one on the east. Both are comfortable spots, with eclectic menus that aren’t afraid to take chances and regulars who appreciate the results. Sunday brunch is particularly popular, and in a […]

True Food Kitchen

True Food Kitchen, a branch of the brand operated by Phoenix-based Fox Restaurant Concepts, features healthy food based on the anti-inflammatory-food pyramid behind Dr. Andrew Weil’s prescription for a healthy life. But if you didn’t know that – if you stopped in simply because you noticed people camped out in Cherry Creek and wanted to […]

Truffle Cheese Shop

Truffle Cheese originally opened in 2001. The shop is run by a knowledgeable and energetic team that turns every visit to Truffle Cheese into way more than a shopping trip; it’s also a chance to learn more about the rotating selection of cheeses from around the world, all of which are cut to order. That […]

TRVE Brewing

TRVE Brewing opened in June 2012 in a long, skinny space on Broadway that was formerly home to an art gallery. Although everyone here is friendly, the layout gives the place a dark and divey feel, which is just fine with owner Nick Nunns, who names all of his beers after black-metal bands or songs […]
