In spring 2015, the Baur’s name got a reboot with Baur’s Restaurant and Listening Lounge, a multi-concept restaurant and music venue that […]

Let the good times roll! Bayou Bob’s, conveniently located next to the Paramount Theatre, brings the spirit of New Orleans to Denver. This is close as you’ll get to Bourbon Street without leaving Colorado.

Diners call the shots at BD’s Mongolian Barbeque, a bustling, decade-old LoDo spot that puts a modern spin on the traditional Mongolian feast. Build a stir-fry bowl from an assembly-line-style selection of meats, vegetables, starches and sauces, which are grilled on the spot by knife-wielding chefs. The possible combinations are infinite, from seafood-centric to meaty, […]
After five years as the Wells Fargo Theatre, the 5,000-seat theater at the Colorado Convention Center was renamed the Bellco Theatre near the end of 2012. The venue is one of the most technically advanced theaters of its kind and offers outstanding acoustics for concerts, lectures, general sessions and family spectaculars.

It’s not the state-of-the-art sound system, the primo location in LoDo or the crowds of beautiful people that make Beta Denver’s best dance club (though none of that hurts). No, it’s the high-caliber talent the place brings in week after week. Beta has hosted a cavalcade of talent that reads like a who’s who of […]

Since opening in […]

Denverites sure do love their Blue Moon; ever since the beer debuted in 1995 at the Sandlot at Coors Field, people haven’t been able to get enough of the crafty brew. And the Blue Moon Brewing Company, which opened in north Denver in July 2016, aims to give the people what they want: more Blue […]
The Blue Moon Brewing Company @ the Sandlot has been Denver’s most unusual brewery since it debuted inside Coors Field in 1995; located in a hundred-year-old warehouse that was incorporated into the architecture of the stadium, the Sandlot was only open to Rockies ticket holders on game days for many years. But in 2013, the […]

Nearly hidden by the surrounding downtown businesses, Bovine Metropolis Theater is the type of place you’d expect to require a secret password to enter. Located upstairs in the old Changing Scene facility, the cozy space hosts improv performances and sketch comedy.
Pie peddler David Bravdica’s wood-fired pizza wagon is a 850-degree powerhouse of smoldering Missouri oak wood that produces thin-crusted, blistered, misshapen pies stained with unadulterated San Marzano fruit and dabbed with orbs of creamy mozzarella. Our favorite is the Marky, a more than satisfactory pie that’s crowned with pepperoni from Il Mondo Vecchio, which emerges […]
