Celebrated worldwide as the platonic ideal of a comedy club, the downtown outpost of the Comedy Works became a perennial Westword favorite simply by being better at what it does than anyone else. Beneath the well-lit hubbub of Larimer Square, the club unites its crowds in the boozy dark, cultivating the ideal environment for standup. […]

Common Grounds has been slinging coffee in Denver since the early ’90s, long before the popularity of super-chains and Frappuccinos. The original location is still going strong in the Highlands, while the downtown spot moved to different digs across the street in 2009. However, the LoDo locations did keep its most notable feature: a beer […]

The first thing you’re likely to notice upon entering Coohills, the French restaurant that opened at the edge of LoDo in November 2011, is the show-stopping chandelier, a six-foot-tall contortion of twirls and spirals, twists and tangles, twigs and roots laced with white lights. They’re grape vines. Tom Coohill, the chef at his namesake restaurant, […]
Cook’s Fresh Market is a quick stop on the 16th Street Mall shuttle circuit, but you’ll want to get off and stay a while once you get a glimpse of the gourmet bakery, deli, prepared-foods case, cheese counter and shelves stocked with homemade nibbles, European specialty foods and spices. There’s even a small cooler in […]

Even though the Colorado Rockies have never won a World Series, catching an evening game at Coors Field – the great ballpark on the edge of downtown Denver that opened in 1995 — is something every Colorado resident and visitor should experience. The famous Rockpile seating section can always be counted on for cheap tickets […]
The decor is extraordinarily kitschy-hip: half ultra-modern diner, half rumpus room. Like everything else at the Corner Office, the menu is heavy on style and designed to catch the eye first, dragging the rest of the sensorium along behind: individual scalloped casserole dishes of lobster mac-and-cheese, flat plates of cheeseburger sliders arrayed around a squiggled […]
Drinking champagne is often compared to drinking stars, and with its dangling chandeliers and European-style furnishings, Corridor 44 is sufficiently sparkly to support that analogy. While the tiny Larimer Square spot has a full bar, the bubbly is what makes this place rise above the rest. Corridor 44 serves a seasonal selection of true Champagne […]

Crema Coffeehouse draws its name from the rich, caramel-colored foam that caps any decent shot of espresso right after it’s pulled. And that’s the primary job of the baristas at Crema: to pull decent shots of espresso. They also brew coffee from a handful of roasters. Crema is located on Larimer Street, just above the […]
