Common Grounds

Common Grounds has been slinging coffee in Denver since the early ’90s, long before the popularity of super-chains and Frappuccinos. The original location is still going strong in the Highlands, while the downtown spot moved to different digs across the street in 2009. However, the LoDo locations did keep its most notable feature: a beer […]

Cook’s Fresh Market

Cook’s Fresh Market is a quick stop on the 16th Street Mall shuttle circuit, but you’ll want to get off and stay a while once you get a glimpse of the gourmet bakery, deli, prepared-foods case, cheese counter and shelves stocked with homemade nibbles, European specialty foods and spices. There’s even a small cooler in […]

Coors Field

Even though the Colorado Rockies have never won a World Series, catching an evening game at Coors Field – the great ballpark on the edge of downtown Denver that opened in 1995 — is something every Colorado resident and visitor should experience. The famous Rockpile seating section can always be counted on for cheap tickets […]

The Corner Office

The decor is extraordinarily kitschy-hip: half ultra-modern diner, half rumpus room. Like everything else at the Corner Office, the menu is heavy on style and designed to catch the eye first, dragging the rest of the sensorium along behind: individual scalloped casserole dishes of lobster mac-and-cheese, flat plates of cheeseburger sliders arrayed around a squiggled […]

Coyote Ugly Saloon

Notorious for its dancing-on-the-bar female bartenders, made famous by the movie of the same name, the Denver branch of the New York institution doesn’t disappoint. For those looking for some eye candy to augment their booze, this noisy joint is always lively.

Crave

Jessica Scott is the woman behind the magic at this downtown Denver dessert spot, and she’s crafted a melange of indulgences that we’re happy to nibble at teatime and after dinner. Smaller cookies and tarts fill out Crave’s daytime selection, while nights finish with molten chocolate cake, sticky toffee cake and a swoon-worthy peanut butter-chocolate […]

Crossroads Theater at Five Points

The historic Five Points area welcomed the Crossroads Theater in 2007. The theater has a hundred seats and serves small, independent performing arts groups that offer everything from music to theater, poetry and storytelling artists.

Cru: A Wine Bar

Wine cubbies line the back wall of the high-ceilinged sliver of Larimer Square space occupied by Cru: A Wine Bar. The richly appointed room fills with an after-work crowd in the late afternoon, as business types wind down over a glass of wine and a snack during happy hour while others rev up for a […]
