The Infinite Monkey Theorem Urban Winery

Ben Parsons has long been a wine-industry renegade, perhaps most notably for his canned wine, which drove Infinite Monkey Theorem to a new level of success and launched something of a packaging sea change among young makers. Just as brazen was planting his winery in the urban core of Denver and tapping into city culture […]

Jackson’s LoDo

LoDo partiers looking to start a night strong will find their gateway to blackout at Jackson’s, which features a $10 all-you-can-drink deal for women ($20 for men) on Friday nights. Hordes of twenty-somethings and baseball-game-goers pack the bar and vast rooftop patio, putting down Coors Light, well vodka and Jim Beam with a vengeance while […]

Jake’s Sports & Spirits

There’s not really a Jake behind Jake’s Sports & Spirits (which changed its name from Jake’s Food & Spirits in the fall of 2015). This neighborhood joint’s name was actually inspired by the abstract notion of a guy, maybe a Jake, who everyone knows and likes. Open for lunch, dinner and late-night dining, Jake’s comes […]

But chef/owner […]

Jovanina’s Broken Italian

Jovanina’s long, narrow dining room is lively even on weekdays, thanks to its standout execution of Italian classics. If you can, try to snag a seat at the chef’s counter, either to take advantage of the occasional chef’s tasting menus or simply to watch plates of mouth-watering pasta and perfectly topped wood-oven pizzas being delivered […]

Katie Mullen’s

For years, Denver has been aching for a real, serious Irish pub. With Katie Mullen’s, it didn’t just get one, it got four — thanks to this huge space inside the Sheraton and clever architecture that allowed the endeavor to sprout four differently styled bars covering a good swath of Hibernian drinking history. It also […]
