Golden in Denver

King of Wings launched as a food truck before debuting a brick-and-mortar that doubles as a taphouse in 2020. A year and a half after its opening, a kitchen fire forced it to close, but after staying alive thanks to a successful Snipeburger smashburger pop-up, King of Wings came back better than ever in 2023 […]

The sibling of the fancier, French-ier Famille in Westminster’s Origin Hotel, Nomad occupies appeals more to outdoorsy concert-goers than the white-tablecloth crowd. The menu is heavy on tacos – in addition to the usual suspects, you’ll find tortillas stuffed with venison and chapulines (roasted, salted grasshoppers) – margaritas and local beer.

The Columbine Cafe opened the year Prohibition ended, in a former barbershop by a patch of horse pastures. The nearest landmark was the Coors brewery, and workers from that plant kept the place in business for many years. Today, Golden sprawls just down the road, but the Columbine still feels like an out-of-the-way discovery. There’s […]
Steele Platt knows what Denver likes. Although the restaurateur, who had several places in the Tivoli in the ’80s, left Colorado decades ago, the Yard House chain that he founded in California in 1996 is also ideally suited for Colorado. For starters, beers are big at the Yard House – the restaurant has over a […]
Miners Alley Playhouse in Golden began as the Morrison Theatre Company in 1989, and over the years the productions have just become more polished. The 130-seat theater is complemented by Lillie’s Saloon, a bar and lounge where actors and audiences alike can socialize after the show.
Sometimes you want to get away from it all, but you don’t feel like braving I-70 for hours. Head up the hill instead to Table Mountain, an adorable Southwestern inn that’s also a smart choice for a great meal. The kitchen puts out superb Southwestern-focused cuisine and then follows it up with wonderful desserts, like […]
