Cafe Berlin opened in 1995 on East 17th Avenue, giving Denver a go-to spot for hearty German fare. A lot has changed since 1995 — for example, the restaurant is now in its third location, a second-floor space above the 16th Street Mall, where it moved in 2011 – but Cafe Berlin’s food has not. […]
It’s dirty and grimy and sometimes feels a little dangerous, but that’s all part of the grungy charm of this cash-only dive.

The smaller part of Cervantes’, the 400-capacity Other Side brings in acts similar to those hosted by its bigger ballroom sibling, including jam bands, hip-hop, reggae and funk artists, and acts on its weekly bluegrass and electronica lineups.

This is a side project from the beer experts at Denver Beer Co. next door, and the focus is the flavors of Mexico. The starting point is clean and refreshing lager perfect for a hot summer day, but the brewers explore international styles while adding rare ingredients from Mexico for surprising bursts of boldness.

Over its almost eight decades, the Cherry Cricket has morphed from smoky bar to burger institution, consuming adjacent Cherry Creek storefronts along the way. And in 2018, the local legend finally outgrew its birthplace and expanded by opening a second outpost in the Ballpark neighborhood. Luckily, the burgers didn’t suffer in the move; the smoky, […]
“Lots of French butter” and “a kickass burger you’ll have to eat with a knife and fork”: That’s what celebrity chef Ludo Lefebrve promised would appear at his first restaurant outside Southern California.
