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 […]

Mind Benders

About a year after Arvada’s Brickhouse Nightclub closed, Salmineo Martin — or Big Sal, as he’s known in the professional wrestling community — took over the spot and completely remodeled it, putting in a new stage, dance floor and lighting rig, and he gave the place a black-light theme, making it one of the few […]

Miners Saloon

While owners Dean and Aimee Valdez and Noah Heaney wanted their Golden bar to tip a hat to the area’s historic mining days through the facade and indoor decor, the offerings here taste nothing like a dram of whiskey did back in 1859. With 24 taps and more than fifty bottles of beer, guests can […]

Owner Yuri Chandonnet, a native of Sapporo, insists on top quality fish, and the […]

Papa Frank’s

The Rizzi family runs Papa Frank’s, and they do a swell job. While the entire menu is a great deal, sample the heavy, flavorful red sauce Sunday and Tuesday nights at the all-you-can-eat-spaghetti special, which also includes homemade noodles, a salad and garlic bread. And the ever-changing roster of homemade pies is a delight — […]
