Briar Common Brewery + Eatery opened in late 2016 in an odd, wedge-shaped building that was seemingly dropped into the middle of an intersection in the Jefferson Park neighborhood with little attention to traffic or practicality. But this strange location belies the classic philosophy (both aesthetic and culinary) that lies beyond the front door. The […]
There are practically endless combinations of tomato sauce and dough, and the expansive menu at Brooklyn’s Finest Pizza boasts at least 85 percent of them. Meatball Parmesan sandwich? Check. Sausage and pepper stromboli? Check. Create-your-own calzone? Double meatball pizza? Garlic knots and pepperoni pinwheels,? Check, check and check. Enjoy red-sauce comfort food in no-nonsense surroundings […]
Bruz, which also has a tasting room off Colfax, is unique in that it only focuses on Belgian-inspired beers, from the classic abbey ales that you’d expect to find overseas to fun, fruited Belgian beers and IPAs. This is the rare specialty brewery that manages to truly offer something for everyone, including fun, beery education. […]
Denver’s Bug Theatre was originally built as a movie house in 1912 and passed through several different hands before landing in the hands of local artists Chandler Romeo and Reed Weimer. Since then, it has become a major venue for alternative arts, including movies, comedy, music and other performances.

Opening early 2015.
Cafe Brazil has been a haven for Mediterranean-inflected South American cuisine for more than thirty years. If you’ve been in Denver long enough, you probably knocked back your first caipirinha here – possibly even at the eatery’s original Highland location (long before folks started calling the area LoHi). Come for the slow-roasted meats, baked sweet […]
Call to Arms feels like a safe haven in a neighborhood being drowned by modern condos. Take a few steps down the entryway and you’re in a different world. The prominent bar is a great place to sip a few top-notch beers, but the events are really what separate this taproom from other quality breweries. […]
Central Bistro & Bar owner Isiah Salazar and chef Jesse Vega converted their breezy bistro into a pan-Latin lounge in the summer of 2017, compiling a roster of tacos from Salazar’s upbringing and Puerto Rican specialties from Vega’s family, along with a few other dishes from Central and South America. The result is a restaurant […]

Temporarily closed: Part market, part sandwich shop, Carbone’s Italian Sausage Deli almost always has a line of people in front of the counter. In 1974, Rosa Lonardo and her husband, Nick, bought this place from Dominic Carbone, who taught the pair how to make sausages and meatballs the old-fashioned way before turning over the keys […]

Situated in the now-hip Highland neighborhood, Carl’s Pizza is anything but trendy. It’s an old-time neighborhood Italian joint serving good spaghetti and meatballs, manicotti and pizza since 1953. Dinners come with soup or salad; spaghetti and meatballs can be ordered by the pint or the quart. It’s nothing fancy, just good food with a good […]
The 2014 opening of Cart-Driver ushered in a wave of Neapolitan pizza in Denver. These perfectly charred wood-fired pies shine whether you opt for a simple margherita (called the Daisy here) or a seasonal creation. A meal in the tiny, original shipping-container location in RiNo is an intimate yet lively experience, while the newer outpost […]
Cebiche has brought a touch of Peru to the bustling LoHi restaurant district. The place has an easy vibe and a small, carefully selected menu that emphasizes quality over range; having a meal here is like dining in a friendly home in an exotic clime. Appetizers are a tasty way to get a feel for […]

Heading up Federal Boulevard, you might drive past the demure entrance to Chili Verde, an elegant (for this neighborhood) but still relaxing Pueblan eatery. But once you make your way inside, you’ll find more on the menu than the tacos and Colorado-style, starch-thickened green chile so popular on this stretch. Exposed-brick walls and an espresso-dark […]
Known for its clean, minimalist atmosphere and hefty foil-wrapped burritos the size (and weight) of a small infant, Chipotle pioneered the fast-casual, assembly line Mexican food genre that’s since grown to encompass chains like Qdoba and Baja Fresh. The protocol in Denver / Boulder and elsewhere? Diners proceed single-file down the line and orchestrate the […]
Denver transplants, heed our advice: Acquire an opinion on green chile, and quickly, for no food in the Mile High City is as fervently debated among friends. While many greens are contenders, the Chubby’s chile is legendary. Stella Cordova took over the Chubby Burger Drive-Inn in the 1960s, keeping the burgers and fries and adding […]
