The Bulldog’s dark and shadowy space actually looks and feels like an Old English pub – not a nightclub or a cocktail lounge or a fern bar or even the Punch Bowl, which once occupied this spot. It’s a double-barreled shotgun of a room, with the long oak bar on one side and rickety, high-backed […]
Travel back in time to gracious service, elegant surroundings and wine worth drinking. For more than three decades, the Broker has been one of Denver’s most romantic spots at night, while classy enough for upscale business dining during the day.

Cafe Berlin opened in 1995 on East 17th Avenue, giving Denver a go-to spot for hearty German fare. A lot has changed since 1995 — for example, the restaurant is now in its third location, a second-floor space above the 16th Street Mall, where it moved in 2011 – but Cafe Berlin’s food has not. […]

If you’re looking for something Irish in LoDo and prefer to avoid the sports-bar crowd, Celtic Tavern might be just the ticket. Eschewing a green-beer motif in favor of decor that incorporates literary works from the Emerald Isle’s finest, Celtic Tavern presents a distinct Gaelic theme.

Since the venues are next door to each other and are connected by an inside doorway, some […]
Over its almost eight decades, the Cherry Cricket has morphed from smoky bar to burger institution, consuming adjacent Cherry Creek storefronts along the way. And in 2018, the local legend finally outgrew its birthplace and expanded by opening a second outpost in the Ballpark neighborhood. Luckily, the burgers didn’t suffer in the move; the smoky, […]

“Lots of French butter” and “a kickass burger you’ll have to eat with a knife and fork”: That’s what celebrity chef Ludo Lefebrve promised would appear at his first restaurant outside Southern California.
