Bar Louie – The Westminster Promenade

Long a staple in the Midwest, the Bar Louie chain has landed in Colorado. At the Shops at Northfield, Bar Louie is the perfect spot for a mid-shopping beer; it also makes a great holding pen for husbands waiting out a long run by their significant others. The menu features such bar standards as wings […]

Hacienda Colorado

Hacienda Colorado is a homegrown chain, one that’s coined the term “Mountain Mex” for its food. So while you’ll find traditional Mexican dishes on the menu, they’ve all been given a local twist – and you may find that your tacos and burritos have been stuffed with local ingredients, from marinated meats to fresh produce. […]

Yak and Yeti

The original location of Yak & Yeti has been serving up authentic Indian fare — and a few traditional Nepalese dishes — since 2002; it’s also familiar to those with a thirst for craft beer. The beers, like the award-winning Chai Milk Stout, show up at tap rooms around town, while the specialties are rare […]

Meritage

Omni Interlocken Resort sits right off the highway between Denver and Boulder. But once you’ve parked your car and entered into this stunning complex, you feel like you could be a world away – especially when you’re dining at the Meritage, a casually elegant restaurant with a stunning setting. The menu features a wide range […]

Little Anita’s

A bit of New Mexico in Colorado, Little Anita’s is run by an Albuquerque family with a 30-year history in the restaurant business. The red and green chiles are multi-layered and flavorful, and the food features plenty of Southwestern touches, such as blue corn in the enchiladas and a roster of stuffed sopaipillas. The carne […]

Saigon Pho Grill

Tucked into a fancy strip mall, Saigon Pho looks like one of those joints offering nothing more than the dim and thrice-removed flavors of the mysterious East on a menu full of badly Photoshopped pictures. And yes, there are a lot of pictures on this menu, but those pictures show very good and surprisingly raw […]

Benihana

Benihana is the Barnum & Bailey of Japanese food, an unabashedly corny and often embarrassing centerfold of eye-rolling wisecracks, theatrics and occasional mishaps from the knife-wielding teppenyaki chefs who elevate (some would say disintegrate) food into an entertainment form. But guess what? The food here is nothing to sneer at, and the fried rice – […]

West Arvada Dog Park

The West Arvada Dog Park is a five-acre, fenced-in park that is a paradise for all pooches; it even has a separate area for shy and small dogs. The park is operated by volunteers and open year-round.

Jake’s Roadhouse

There’s no question that Jake’s Roadhouse in Arvada is biker-friendly, with an emphasis on the “friendly.” You’re bound to see a fair amount of black leather on any given day, especially on the weekends, but like everyone else, those wearing it come to Jake’s to have a good time and take advantage of the bar’s […]
