Named after a Boston-area blacksmith from the late 1800s, Paddy the Yank (formerly Patrick Carroll’s) was started by one of his descendants in 2005. This Berkeley neighborhood watering hole is an updated take on the traditional Irish pub, one of the few in the area. While the cozy, inviting spot brings in a decent lunch […]
Indulge is a warm, happy house, with a curtained dining room, a marble-topped dwarf bar and what look like furnishings from a Normandy farmhouse restaurant unloaded into an abandoned Italian trattoria – which this space used to be. Chef/owner William Wahl’s family runs a restaurant in France, Au Vrai Normand, and after a stint with […]
A gracious extension of its next door, multi-level restaurant and lounge, Sushi Hai, Hai Bar is a beautiful underground sanctuary spreading across two spacious basement rooms. Equitably designed for both sushi nibbling and cocktails, plush couches and within-reach tables mix with wall-to-wall booths, standing bar tops and private rooms for six or more. Live DJs, […]
Hirshorn Park is an oasis in the middle of the very hot LoHi neighborhood of Denver. Construction cranes are visible in almost any direction, putting up new lofts and apartment projects. But in the park – which has a playground and ballpark, as well as amazing views of downtown – you can escape from all […]

For the past fifty years, Subway has been serving pizzas and meatball sandwiches to loyal fans. While the food coming from the kitchen isn’t exactly cutting-edge — the half-thin New York style red-and-whites hit with dry oregano and the Dago Dog (Italian sausage with cheese and chiles deep-fried inside a pastry jacket) are the best […]
Owner and chef Jay Solomon teaches cooking classes, writes cookbooks, and owns and operates two Jay’s Patio Cafe locations ? one in Highland and one in the Denver Tech Center. Both restaurants have upscale American bistro atmospheres and menus featuring freshly prepared breakfast items, soups, salads and sandwiches. Early-bird customers can break their fasts with […]
This is the kind of neighborhood joint that everyone ought to have in his neighborhood, a place that’s both casually friendly and aggressively social, that serves both PBR on tap and super-call whiskey, and that offers the menus of both a champion barbecue restaurant and a decent locals-only steakhouse. Carolina pork shoulder, closed-pit Texas brisket, […]
Almost everyone at DJ’s seems to be a friend, a regular — making the Sunday morning or afternoon pilgrimage for eggs and coffee and slabs of French toast stuffed with peanut butter and jelly. They wave to each other, gossip with their waitresses, with the owners — brothers Jason and Devin Stallings — who are […]

Highland has become Denver’s hottest restaurant neighborhood, and from the stunning rooftop of Vita, with its view of the Platte Valley and downtown beyond, you’ll feel on top of the world. And you’ll definitely feel above the LoDo fray; this is just the spot for those who enjoy drinking outdoors without having to fight plastic-cup-carrying […]
Owner Jose Acevedo watches the front of the house, standing post behind the short bar, overseeing service and talking soccer and food with his regulars. In the back, chef Ulises Santiago and his crew cook up seasonal menus from Latin America, changing the globe-trotting lineup several times a year. This casual, comfortable place has been […]

This small, family-friendly neighborhood cafe is warm and crowded during the day and loud and crowded after dark. The big kitchen is constantly at work banging out food that may not yet be ubiquitous in Denver, but certainly should be. The house specialty is huaraches: long, open-faced slabs of corn masa topped with whatever is […]
Although El Paraiso offers more than 100 dishes, this restaurant’s regulars never seem to crack open a menu. They’ll spend five minutes agonizing over whether they should spring for a margarita, agua fresca or cerveza, but they never have any trouble deciding what to order for their meal. That’s because they know to go with […]
