This bar from the owners of another cocktail heavy hitter, Union Lodge No. 1, is an homage to the Berkeley neighborhood’s past, when property buyers would receive a shade tree as a gift from the city; you’ll still see Tatarian maples standing proudly in the area. The cocktails here incorporate specific liquors, liqueurs, bitters and […]
Colorado is known for its homegrown big-burrito chains. Illegal Pete’s isn’t the largest, but it’s big on flavor, with a wide-ranging menu that includes everything from the standard chicken- and carnitas-based burritos to versions with fish or potatoes as the main event. The ingredients are all carefully balanced before the burrito is wrapped, ensuring that […]
Crepes are in (were they ever really out?), and no one does them better than Crepes ‘n Crepes, because the place is uncompromisingly, unabashedly and unstintingly French. The large but admirably unfocused menu is written in French; the owners — Kathy Knight and Alain Veratti — are French; all the iron crepe griddles are French; […]

That’s partly because of the 1950s American theme he’s used in the space, which gives it a well-worn aura and a comfortable vibe. But the Thunderbird also feels […]

Sloan’s Lake Tap & Burger, which opened in the West Colfax neighborhood in summer 2016, is the sister restaurant to the ridiculously popular Highland version. This Tap is bigger in almost every respect. Higher ceilings, an enormous bar, more TVs, massive windows – even the menu has been beefed up with the addition of barbecue. […]
Chef/owner Kevin Grossi (late of Lola) opened the Regional in summer 2016 in Avanti Food & Beverage. The name is deceptively simple and straightforward: Grossi re-creates American classics from regions throughout the United States. You’ll find the South well represented by a Nashville hot chicken sandwich, hoppin’ John and shrimp and grits, but the Northeast […]
