Uber Sausage got its start as a food truck that slung sausages, then graduated to a tiny space on East Colfax Avenue in 2011. The spot may be small, but the homemade sausages are big, and big on flavor. “We did the truck first, but I knew that I wanted to do a gourmet sausage-sandwich […]
The Wash Park outpost of Highland ramen shop Uncle opened in 2019. Here, owner Tommy Lee offers a slightly expanded menu that only ups the appeal of his less traditional approach to the time-honored Japanese noodle soup. The intensely complex and tasty broths are a base for a nest of noodles and other delicious accoutrements. […]

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. At the Vesper, there’s no fuss over housemade bitters, no two-hour wait, no specially chipped ice – just reasonably […]

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. […]
