Denver - Downtown in Denver
Showing 683 - 700 of 700The restaurant built into the transformed Hose Company No. 1 building downtown got off to a rocky start in 2019, parting ways with its opening chef and going into an extended soft-opening mode until a replacement could take over. But chef Franco Ruiz is no second-stringer; he came to the restaurant after six years at […]
In 2014, chef Dana Rodriguez co-founded Work & Class in a space created from recycled shipping containers in a part of town that wasn’t known as a hot spot – yet. A decade later, it still draws crowds in now-bustling RiNo. Rodriguez has gone on to make other big moves, including overseeing the culinary revamp […]
Colorado is crazy about craft beer, so it makes sense that the Tampa-based restaurant chain World of Beer would come along to tap the market. And nobody does craft beer quite like these big boys: LoDo’s World of Beer offers more than 550 beers from around the world, including fifty draft beers on tap. The […]
Like Denver itself, the Wynkoop Brewing Company has gone through a lot of changes over the past three decades, but the city’s first modern brewpub continues to be an anchor in LoDo. It opened in 1988 in an old warehouse in a rundown part of town as an English-style pub serving cask ales and traditional […]

Steele Platt knows what Denver likes. Although the restaurateur, who had several places in the Tivoli in the ’80s, left Colorado decades ago, the Yard House chain that he founded in California in 1996 is also ideally suited for Colorado. For starters, beers are big at the Yard House – the restaurant has over a […]
The massive (nearly 15,000-square-foot) Yardbird that opened in Five Points in July 2023 is technically a chain, although its menu does include a lineup of Denver exclusives, such as 72-hour short ribs, alongside its justifiably famous fried chicken. The food is stellar, delivering both on flavor and technique; its only drawback is the relatively high […]
“Sauce is a condiment. In my opinion, it’s optional.” So says Don Hines, who owns Yazoo Barbeque Company. He came by his opinion in Memphis, where he worked on a number of barbecue teams. Instead of sauce, the pitmaster uses a Memphis-style dry rub on his ribs, pork shoulder and brisket to lock in flavor, […]
This little spot on the outside perimeter of Sakura Square serves solid Japanese food, bento-style to go and in noodle bowls if you eat in.
After being Bar Rescue’d by Spike TV and host Jon Taffer, Zanzibar Billiards emerged with a fresh coat of paint and a new lease on life. Yes, owner Ami Benari jettisoned Taffer’s chosen name – Solids & Stripes Badass Billiards – and decided to reinstate free pool in a nod to the bar’s regulars. But […]
After more than a decade as a Latin-Asian fusion spot, in the fall of 2016 Richard Sandoval’s Zengo converted to a pan-Asian restaurant, with sumptuous decor including suspended origami birds, a metallic-veined floor and a sushi bar; the menu now includes the likes of sushi and sashimi, poke, dim sum and stir-fried noodles. In fact, […]
In early 2013, three Colorado friends — Brian Wood, Rich Wisniewski and Tyler Shuey — decided to open a brewery in River North. The neighborhood grew quickly during the next year and a half, and eight breweries popped up within walking distance — while the trio’s project, Zephyr Brewing, suffered through permitting, power and construction […]
Zeppelin Station opened its doors in March 2018, welcoming RiNo residents to a newfangled food hall (or food court, if you’re old enough to remember the sprawling structures that sold cheap sunglasses and housed the long-suffering Sbarro). But unsurprisingly, this concept from the folks behind the Source and the Source Hotel is way, way cooler. […]
Zoe Ma Ma’s Denver outpost, opened in 2014, flanks the southwest side of Union Station’s plaza. Its menu is modest in size – just two types of shumai, a trio of bao, a handful of noodle dishes and soups and a pair of rice plates – but the kitchen turns out big, big flavors using […]
