After running Suite Two Hundred at 1427 Larimer Street in Larimer Square for six years, Lotus Clubs, which also runs Chloe and the ViewHouse, completely remodeled the space and opened in December 2014 as VIE. While the new club still focuses on bottle service, as did Suite Two Hundred, the stylish 7,000-square-foot VIE brings in […]
Denver - Downtown in Denver
Showing 661 - 682 of 704When it was unveiled just before the start of the 2013 baseball season, ViewHouse immediately upped the ante on entertainment in the Ballpark neighborhood. Lotus Clubs founder Francois Safieddine bought the former Nisei Veterans post, which for decades had housed Mori Japanese Restaurant, and raised the roof – literally – to transform it into a […]

The grilled mahi-mahi tacos alone are worth a stop at this fun, Baja-inspired space that specializes in tortillas filled with fish done healthy. Much of the food is made to order, and it’s all delivered in abundance, with rice and black beans rounding out the plates. Wahoo’s also makes an exceptional margarita.
Wahoo’s Fish Taco, a chain with outposts in California and Colorado, specializes in seafood prepared Baja style. You can get your fish (or shrimp) served on signature grilled corn tortillas for a taco, rolled up in a burrito or mixed into a bowl, but if you’d rather have chicken or pork or carne asada, Wahoo’s […]
You can slum it with a cheap slice and a drink at just about every pizza joint in town, but when you want to slum it in style, the Walnut Room feels your vibe. At lunchtime, a fresh-faced server, usually of the hipster sort, will trot out an eight-inch thin-crust pizza topped with whatever single […]
Water Grill, which opened a 200-seat eatery in Union Station neighborhood in February of 2022, definitely serves special-occasion fare, and it’s priced to match. But its commitment to sourcing (it’s owned by family-run distributor King’s Seafood Company) means you won’t be left high and dry by low-quality seafood. Many ingredients, such as spiny lobster and […]
The Wazee predates all the hipness, all the gentrification of LoDo. But the bar has aged so well, no place works better when you need a place to crash-land for a couple of hours, a couple of years, a lifetime. It’s seen some famous faces (and has even been owned by one, John Hickenlooper), but […]
At Larimer Square, a set of stairs leads down to a tiny, brightly lit foyer with checkered floors. It’s just enough space to hold an old-fashioned pie counter, an antique register and a chalkboard menu that lists the daily pie specials: whole pies available for pick-up and slices that you can consume, possibly with a […]
This elegant bar originally opened in 2019, serving libations that were as much a show as a drink. The bartenders often use smoking wood chips, whipped foam, liquid nitrogen and other flair to create eye-catching concoctions. There was just one problem: The bar was on the small side, so in 2022 it expanded into the […]
For over two decades, the Dickerson family has kept the catfish, fried chicken, smothered pork chops and other soul-food specialties coming for hungry diners in Five Points – though it’s moved a few times since opening. In 2022, it shuttered its longtime home with plans to move into a new space. That process took longer […]

This bar and restaurant near Coors Field is a favorite for its rooftop, collection of over ninety whiskeys, and its signature fried chicken. There’s also a great selection of shareable plates making this an ideal place for pre or post Rockies game meet-ups.
This Buffalo Bills bar named for a notorious missed Super Bowl field-goal kick has all the makings of a place that draws in regulars: cheap drinks, tons of events and solid bar food – especially if you like Buffalo classics like pizza logs, beef on weck shots and, of course, wings. Wide Right is also […]
Manned by Israeli Itay Gal and wife Leah, this Mediterranean food cart makes some of the best handheld food on the 16th Street Mall. In its semi-permanent home off Arapahoe, office workers and the curious enjoy reasonably prices, hot and fluffy pitas stuffed with veggies and meats dripping with authentic spices. Don’t forget to stop […]
Started by former Sing Sing dueling piano veterans, Wild Ivories gives their former employer a run for their money as the only other dueling piano bar in LoDo. Housed in the former Buca di Beppo location, the joint brings in a hip crew of versatile and hilarious dueling pianists — some of whom play other […]
