A pair of high-heeled legs dangles above the door of this eclectic breakfast-and-lunch cafe near Confluence Park, named for the Mona Lisa mural of a long-gone gallery that once occupied the space.

Public lounging is a nightly pastime at Mynt, where comfy couches cushion the well-tailored hides of LoDo loyalists. Live DJs spin the body electric every Thursday. Decorated to suit its name — the place is greener than Kermit — Mynt is mojitos-and-martini heaven. Several beer choices also augment a small food menu.

Nallen’s Irish Pub opened in 1992 and was a neighborhood mainstay long before other bars invaded the 1400 block of Market Street. The family-operated, no-frills spot feels more like an authentic Irish pub than a trendy LoDo bar. Since Nallen’s isn’t overwhelmed with a lot of TVs showing sporting events, it’s easier to concentrate on […]

Ocean Prime has sailed into the last major space in Larimer Square, and things are going swimmingly for this “modern supper club,” the latest from Cameron Mitchell, an Ohio restaurateur who launched the progenitor of Ocean Prime in Columbus in 2006. The concept may come from the Midwest, but it fits right into Denver, with […]
In this day and age, Old Chicago locations are common enough across the country that many diners have forgotten this chain’s humble beginnings: It got its start not in Chicago — or anywhere else in Illinois, for that matter — but in Boulder, in 1976. Old Chicago is part of the Rock Bottom line of […]
A friendly neighborhood joint just east of LoDo, Old Curtis Street is one of Denver’s best kept secrets. The atmosphere recalls the warm and welcoming vibe of an old diner. The food and drink prices are beyond fair. With live music three nights a week, bringing everything from punk and indie bands to house DJs, […]
In a world where trends dictate the format and content of menus – small plates, kale salads, sliders, etc. – the menu at the Old Spaghetti Factory is reassuringly the same.

A Filipino/American (among other influences) food cart, The Orange Crunch provides something that’s lacking in Denver restaurants-true Filipino street food. Inspired by co-owner Leshner del Rosario’s hometown of Batac, Philippines, the cart gets its name from its signature empanadas – bright orange dough surrounding egg, mung bean, green papaya and your choice of meats from […]
