In late 2023, the owner of Max Market added a sports bar next door, outfitting 5 on Lawrence with plenty of TVs for watching Nuggets, Avs, Broncos, Rapids and Rockies games, plus Arsenal soccer matches. It also has an arcade room so you can distract yourself if a televised game isn’t going your way. The […]
Denver was long thought of as a cowtown, and the steakhouse was central to the cuisine. While many old-school steakhouses are still slinging meat, A5, which opened in 2021, stands out as a modern, lively take on the classic concept. We love this spot for more than just the steaks (though those are excellent). You’re […]
Think all Thai restaurants have to offer is pad Thai and crab-cheese wontons? Think again. Aloy Modern Thai, which opened in February 2016 in the Ballpark neighborhood, does serve the ubiquitous noodle and fried-cheese dishes, but its menu is packed with subtle and sophisticated dishes, as well: kobe tenderloin in a tangy tamarind sauce; mild […]
Snooze founder Jon Schlegel opened this Ballpark winery in January 2020 after spending time living in Italy. Italian for “a moment,” Attimo offers a peaceful reprieve from the bustle of downtown with wines made from grapes shipped directly from Italy and aged on site.
Longtime industry pro Jacob Berndt debuted his first solo venture in May 2024 inside the long, narrow downtown space that was home to Deep Roots Winery & Bistro before sitting empty for four years. With the help of his siblings, Berndt has transformed the space with art and knickknacks that give it the vibe of […]

Culinary all-stars Steven Redzikowski and Bryan Dayton opened this Highland joint in January 2016, and fans of the duo’s highly acclaimed full-service ventures (Oak at Fourteenth and Acorn) will recognize elements that run like swoon-worthy motifs across their menus. That means the meatballs we know and love, this time snuggled on ciabatta in the best […]
This Dairy Block spot from the award-winning Id Est Hospitality group has been through several iterations since it opened in 2019. It earned a Michelin star in 2023 under chef Michael Diaz de Leon, and retained that status in 2024 under chef Byron Gomez, who officially took the reins in March and has been working […]
This is a side project from the beer experts at Denver Beer Co. next door, and the focus is the flavors of Mexico. The starting point is clean and refreshing lager perfect for a hot summer day, but the brewers explore international styles while adding rare ingredients from Mexico for surprising bursts of boldness. In […]
The first thing you’re likely to notice upon entering Coohills, the French restaurant that opened at the edge of LoDo in November 2011, is the show-stopping chandelier, a six-foot-tall contortion of twirls and spirals, twists and tangles, twigs and roots laced with white lights. They’re grape vines. Tom Coohill, the chef at his namesake restaurant, […]
When Union Station was renovated a decade ago, the mezzanine was turned into one of the most enchanting bars in town: the Cooper Lounge. In 2024, the elegant drinking destination got a refresh of its own that somehow made it even more lush. It’s a great place to meet up with friends from out of […]
Drinking champagne is often compared to drinking stars, and with its dangling chandeliers and European-style furnishings, Corridor 44 is sufficiently sparkly to support that analogy. While the tiny Larimer Square spot has a full bar, the bubbly is what makes this place rise above the rest. Corridor 44 serves a seasonal selection of true Champagne […]

As Prohibition ended, this bar inside the Oxford Hotel was designed to look like the lounge on the Queen Mary (hence the name), then got a quick remodel a decade later when the frieze with Hitler’s face – one of a dozen international toasts circling the walls – was deemed politically incorrect. In the 1960s, […]
There are a few sure bets at this downtown Mexican eatery: The joint will always be packed; the green chile will always be rich, hearty and satisfying; and dinner is the best time to show up. Let’s start with the chile: D’Corazon makes it the way God intended, at least here in Colorado – brownish-orange, […]
The menu at Daughter Thai, which opened on rapidly changing Platte Street in 2019, reads as a little more upscale than the average neighborhood Thai restaurant, but it doesn’t give up on the bold flavors and fresh ingredients typical of the Southeast Asian country. So you’ll find beef panang curry in the style of Kanchanaburi, […]
Like its name, Denver Beer Co. is simple and straightforward. The owners, Charlie Berger and Patrick Crawford, aren’t trying to reinvent the wheel; they just want to make great beer. But you’ll rarely find the same beer there twice, as Berger and Crawford are constantly coming up with new recipes for a wide variety of […]
Food hall Denver Milk Market went big when it opened in mid-2018. So big, in fact, that it takes up the better part of a block, with three bars and a dozen food counters serving pizza, fried chicken, salads, fresh fish, steaks, ramen, gelato and more for breakfast, second breakfast, tea, lunch, happy hour, dinner […]
Gin and tonic lovers should flock to this two-level Dairy Block cocktail lounge where the G&T reigns supreme and is offered in a variety of iterations. The former 1800s firehouse has been transformed into a dreamy place to imbibe, right in the middle of one of Denver’s most vibrant areas for food and drinks. Sit […]

It could be easy to miss this subterranean cocktail lounge when visiting busy Larimer Square; its door decal gives away no secrets, but the words “cocktail lounge” can be seen in the transom window above, along with a neon sign shaped like a Monstera leaf. Upon entering, guests descend a stairwell decorated with globe pendant […]
This is the second Denver outpost of Gaia Masala & Burger, a fast-casual restaurant offering straight-up Indian dishes, a smattering of Mediterranean entrees like falafel and shawarma, and a handful of burgers. But dig deeper into the menu and you’ll find the really exciting stuff : neon-orange tikka masala cheesesteaks (made with beef at the […]
This bright, plant-filled space in Riverfront Park is the perfect place to meet friends for coffee and conversation by day and for cocktails and relaxation by night. The cocktail options are divided by spirit type, so it’s easy to decide what to order, whether it’s a whiskey night (go for the Old Fashioned) or you’re […]
In 2022, the team behind the Electric Cure, a quirky and irreverent Edgewater bar, opened Honor Farm, dubbing it “Denver’s haunted spirit house” and embracing the building’s spooky history. Shortly after, a small tiki-centric hideaway was added on the mezzanine that’s designed to emulate a haunted gay pirate ship. Expect plenty of penis totems, intimate […]
