Amass

Jefferson Park is an up-and-coming part of Denver — but has it arrived as a dining destination? Amass was opened in the fall of 2014 by chef-owner Joe Troupe, formerly of Lucky Pie Pizza & Tap House, who took over the space in a new residential development that Corner House had vacated following an eighteen-month […]

Sunnyside Burger Bar

Another outpost in the Larimer Associates portfolio of Denver restaurants, Sunnyside offers a comforting menu in a casual, neighborhood joint. Burgers, as the sign says, are the name of the game here, in a relaxed setting with service that falls somewhere between fast-casual and full-on table service. Ordering is done in the standard fast-casual format: […]

Call to Arms Brewing

Call to Arms feels like a safe haven in a neighborhood being drowned by modern condos. Take a few steps down the entryway and you’re in a different world.

Beer Depot Lounge

From the outside, the Beer Depot Lounge might look a little sketchy, but this 38th Avenue dive is fairly clean and respectable inside. The friendly joint has its share of locals and regulars, who come for cheap drinks and drink specials, free pool, shuffleboard, live music, karaoke and occasional free bar food.

Prosit Fine Beer and Sausages

Prosit is an unassuming little beer hall tucked among the trendy bars and hipster joints on West 32nd Avenue, in the space formerly held by Asian-Mexican spot BOA. Decked out in dark wood with Bavarian-inspired touches, Prosit may just fool you into thinking you’re in Munich as you relax at the long, bierhall-style table or […]

Pasty Republic

British cuisine (other than fish and chips, naturally) may be a bit of an international joke, but you have to give the country its due when it comes to the pasty (which rhymes with nasty, not hasty). The British-style pastries from the Pasty Republic are stuffed with plenty of steak, potato and rutabaga, but also […]

Kobe An Shabu Shabu

Some people consider cooking a chore, but if the activity at Kobe An Shabu Shabu, a niche Japanese restaurant that opened in Highland in summer 2014, is any indication, people are not only willing to cook, they’ll pay good money to do so

Solitaire

After a major overhaul of the two conjoined Victorian houses that had housed Highland’s Garden Cafe for nearly twenty years, Solitaire opened in April 2015 with a brand-new enclosed wraparound porch and brighter, airier dining rooms. There’s also a full bar and an impressive fire pit in the spruced-up front garden. Mark Ferguson (who owns […]
