Since getting its start in Sunnyside in 2014, this brunch-only spot has expanded with outposts in Littleton and on South Broadway. As the name says, it’s all about bacon here – bacon flights, bacon shrimp and grits, bacon and chocolate pancakes, bacon tots instead of traditional hash browns, a Bloody Mary made with bacon-infused vodka….

In 2022, Shawn Bergin’s popular Bakery Four moved into a space much larger than its previous Highland home, though the line still often snakes out the door.

From the outside, the Beer Depot Lounge might look a little sketchy, but this 38th Avenue dive is fairly clean and respectable inside.

Part of the trio of bars forming the “Beermuda Triangle” at the corner of 38th and Tennyson, the Berkeley Inn is a neighborhood institution. The joint opened in 1934 and is rumored to have subterranean tunnels made for transporting bootleg alcohol during Prohibition. Regulars band together to help out other regulars in times of need, […]

This is the kind of neighborhood joint that everyone ought to have in his neighborhood, a place that’s both casually friendly and aggressively social, that serves both PBR on tap and super-call whiskey, and that offers the menus of both a champion barbecue restaurant and a decent locals-only steakhouse. Carolina pork shoulder, closed-pit Texas brisket, […]

Denver embraced Detroit-style pizza when Blue Pan Pizza debuted in 2015 in West Highland. Chef Jeff “Smoke” Smokevitch and partner Giles Flanagin now run three Blue Pan locations, serving rectangular pies built on an airy, crackly crust with Wisconsin brick cheese and a thick, tangy sauce.

One of the original fast-casual concepts inside Avanti when it opened in the summer of 2015, Brava has resolutely held down its corner of the food hall as other eateries have come and gone.
