This Union Station spot is inspired by Frasca co-founder and master sommelier Bobby Stuckey’s ideal Sunday evening – but instead of spinning vinyl records and opening a great bottle of wine at home, as he’s been known to do on Instagram, he’s throwing a lively party downtown. The place is bathed in music and has […]

The kitchen brings magic to even the humblest of ingredients at Super Mega Bien, where dim sum-style small plates offer diners tastes of Oaxaca, the Yucatán, Puerto Rico and other Latin American culinary hotbeds. The menu is rounded out by a lineup of family-sized dishes like braised Colorado lamb wrapped in a banana leaf.
Wayne Conwell has been slicing fish and finding new ways to upend Japanese tradition at Sushi Sasa since 2005. By synthesizing Western technique and current Denver tastes with the traditions of sushi that evolved in isolation long before it hit American shores, the chef has continued to stay relevant in a scene that shifts and […]
Chef Jeff Osaka brought something unique to River North with Sushi-Rama in December 2015: conveyor-belt sushi (kaiten-zushi). The tiny space seats just under fifty, but it’s worth the sometimes daunting wait to nab a spot next to the conveyor belt, which carries Fiesta-colored plates around the dining room. Those plates bear just a few bites […]
While Swanky’s is only a stone’s throw from Coors Field, this sports bar is hailed as Denver’s home for Green Bay Packers football. During football season, expect swarms of Cheeseheads on Sundays, but once baseball season starts it’s a comfortable spot to watch the game or grab drinks before or after the Rockies games. Don’t […]
As its name suggests, much of the menu at this eatery is devoted to foods that are vessels for syrup – and the kitchen makes several versions of the sticky stuff, including classics and seasonal offerings. The syrup gets poured over pancakes, waffles and French toast in Syrup’s downtown dining room, which serves breakfast, lunch […]

Tamayo’s owner, nationally renowned restaurateur Richard Sandoval, grew up working in his family’s Acapulco restaurants, and when he opened his first restaurant in Colorado, in a prime corner space on Larimer Square, he billed his cross of traditional dishes with contemporary techniques as “Modern Mexican.” But a decade and several restaurants later, Tamayo was beginning […]
After a long run on the second-floor corner of 15th and Champa streets, Tarantula Billiards moved to street level a block east in early 2012, giving the pool hall much more visibility. The new space has a sleek and classy look, closer to that of sister pool hall ZanZibar Billiards and Grill, which is owned […]

Perhaps the best feature of the Tavern Downtown is its massive rooftop patio, a broad space that features expansive views of downtown and the Front Range. During mealtimes — including weekend brunch — a menu of bar-food classics is available for the groups that sit at tables outside and in, usually partaking in daytime drinking […]
It’s been more than seven years since the talented team behind Boulder’s Frasca added its first (but not last) restaurant in the Denver metro area, but this Union Station spot for Italian fare often feels like it’s been around much longer than that. A more boisterous and lively experience than Frasca’s subdued elegance, it excels […]
Long before there was a renovated Union Station, even long before lower downtown was nicknamed LoDo, there was a Terminal Bar in the neighborhood. It was a down-and-dirty workingman’s joint, named for both the nearby Union Station and the long-gone Terminal Annex Post Office. Three happy hours a day — early morning, late afternoon and […]

You’ll wait for twenty minutes, maybe thirty, sometimes even forty before it’s finally your turn to step up and order from She Who Won’t Be Rushed, the conversational but don’t-push-me Thai woman who single-handedly commands the sensational Thai Food Cart on the 16th Street Mall. And once you’ve made it to the front of the […]
