Micky Manor was a north Denver staple for decades before the dive bar succumbed to the ravages of time in 2011. But the Fed breathed new life into the space in 2013, giving the neighborhood a casual, inviting saloon with a nod to history. The Art Deco bar stretches toward a back room where you […]

This wing joint with a jam-band soul opened in West Highland in 2012 and added a Wash Park outpost in 2019. Yes, the wings are on the small side; that’s because FOTM uses only cage-free, antibiotic-free chicken, along with making other environmentally conscious moves like composting all of its food scraps and recycling its cooking […]
Since opening in a hundred-year-old building between Berkeley and Sunnyside in 2019, FlyteCo Brewing’s aviation theme has really taken off – and includes not just a salvaged plane wing at the entrance, runway striping on the floor and other aeronautical details, but a custom-built replica of the fuselage of a plane. Inside are jump seats, […]
A block west of I-25, near the 15th Street bridge, Forest Room 5 is just hip enough to be cool without seeming trendy. With its dim lighting and intimate tables, this eclectic spot attracts a youthful crowd most days of the week, especially on the weekends. While the place is spacious and houses a few […]

Most of the red-sauce joints that once proliferated in northwest Denver have dried up, but Gaetano’s is now more than seventy years old. Of course, it’s gone through some changes over the decades after being founded by the Smaldone mob family, who installed bulletproof glass in the front door and ran illegal poker games in […]

The Gnome opened in 2018, and while cold beer is a great reason to visit the spacious brewpub, the sandwiches are the headliners here. Chopped cheese, Taylor ham and housemade meatballs are some of the standouts in the wide selection of New York- and New Jersey-inspired options, all of which you can enjoy while listening […]
A gracious extension of its next door, multi-level restaurant and lounge, Sushi Hai, Hai Bar is a beautiful underground sanctuary spreading across two spacious basement rooms. Equitably designed for both sushi nibbling and cocktails, plush couches and within-reach tables mix with wall-to-wall booths, standing bar tops and private rooms for six or more. Live DJs, […]
At Denver’s Happy Bakeshop, the focus is on gourmet cupcakes, but the bake shop also throws down a few other goodies, like French macarons, whoopie pies, cake truffles, cookies and cakes.

First of all, why are you breaking up with someone in public? But if you must, a busy place with plenty of noise is far superior to an intimate dining or drinking establishment, and you definitely don’t want it to be one that could be mistaken for a special-occasion destination. Enter the casual Happy Camper, […]
In 2023, the now Michelin-starred Id Est Hospitality group added a more casual spot to its roster with the opening of Hey Kiddo. Located on the third floor of the Asher, the aim was to create a place that’s “good and fun,” and damn, has the team delivered on that promise. The oysters, caviar and […]
The High Lonesome is no dive bar like its predecessor, the Arabian Bar. The bottle shelves are too precise and tidy, the clientele too young and attractive. But the place is still dark, comfortable and inviting, with few windows to let in annoying things like sunlight or a summer breeze. Denver has its share of […]
High Point owners Erika Thomas and Chad Stutz formulate each batch of their ice cream with the minds of chefs and the spirits of giddy children. So nearly every flavor has a little surprise, whether it’s the curious hint of miso in the cherry-chocolate or the bursts of violet that hide in a creamy lime […]
