The Owl Saloon

The Owl is packed with treasures, from license plates to old maps that sit under the bartop glass to a sign from the former Sid King’s strip club. Look up and you’ll see a collection of dollar bills, à la the currently-closed-for-renovations Bucksnort Saloon in Pine. Settle in for a mystery shot, a cold beer […]

Los Chingones Central Park

Troy Guard made the 2400 block of Larimer Street the taco the town with Los Chingones, a stylish taqueria he opened there at the end of 2013, ten blocks and a world away from his flagship restaurant, TAG. He now has four locations of his “bad-ass” eatery, all offering the same menu of tacos — […]

ND Streetbar

ND Streetbar (formerly the Kitchen Next Door and then Next Door American Eatery) is a casual offshoot of the Kitchen, the high-end, community-oriented bistro founded in Boulder over a decade ago. There are now three outposts in Boulder, Denver’s Union Station and the Central Park neighborhood. All are hip, community-oriented and casual, with an emphasis […]

Antojitos Colombianos

The tiny Antojitos Colombianos isn’t polished or glamorous, but the service is genuine and friendly, and the cheery dining room rings with laughter and the sound of forks hitting plates. Antojitos, the “little desires” of Latin American street food, are the specialty here, from crunchy empanadas to fat arepas to unusual aborrajados oozing hot cheese […]

Chop Shop Casual Urban Eatery

The original Chop Shop Casual Urban Eatery opened in 2014 on a revitalizing stretch of East Colfax Avenue and immediately earned our affections as well as our Best Fast-Casual Restaurant award for 2015. Like its older sibling, this Lowry outpost is not your normal fast-casual joint – at least not if your definition of fast-casual […]

DJ’s Colfax Cafe

Brothers Devin and Jason Stallings won a lot of fans with DJ’s Berkeley Cafe and DJ’s 9th Avenue Cafe, and in 2017, they brought their winning concept to the Park Hill neighborhood. Like the original, it opens at 7 a.m. weekdays (sleep in until 8 a.m. on weekends) and stays open until early afternoon, serving […]

Olive & Finch Eatery & Bakery

Olive & Finch is so much more than a sandwich shop, but chef/owner Mary Nguyen builds such amazing meat-and-bread constructions that most sandwich-only spots pale in comparison. Many of the choices are named after Nguyen’s friends and family, so choose from the Luca, an Italian stack; the Bennett, a veggie mix with sweet basil pesto; […]
