The homegrown Park Burger is growing into a mini-chain; it’s turning into the grill next door. The original was opened in Platt Park by Frank Bonanno’s one-time right-hand guy, Jean-Philippe Failyau, who stuck with a simple formula that proved so winning, he’s opened several more locations in neighborhoods around town. Park Burger doesn’t keep a […]

The Penthouse Club has literally raised the bar for Gentlemen’s Clubs in Denver: they have one of the tallest dance poles in the US! Located only minutes from downtown Denver, the two-story club brandishes over 10,000 square feet of scintillating fun in every corner. Everything in the Penthouse is high-polished; up-to-date and classy, with a […]
Peppers is best known for its pancakes — a flagship staple at this restaurant, light and fluffy, but still substantial enough that a stack of two makes a full meal. Trust us: These slightly sweet, slightly malty hotcakes are the diner pancakes of your dreams. But don’t be fooled into thinking that all Peppers has […]
Pho Fusion covers four countries with a thirty-dish menu that includes pho, hot-and-sour and wonton soups, simple shrimp-lettuce-and-noodle spring rolls and deep-fried Vietnamese pork egg rolls. The food is fast, filling and good. Owner Tom Bird is deeply rooted in Denver’s Vietnamese community, and he’s onto something here — maybe the formula for a fast-food […]

You can find your mom, your co-worker and dudes who ride Harleys all enjoying cold brews and house specialties like Chinese-style wings, burgers and carne asada fries.

Protein Bar is actually a fast-casual import from Chicago. The first opened in spring of 2014 in Boulder, but several others have cropped up in Denver since then. The healthy menu focuses on grilled “bar-ritos” stuffed with quinoa, chicken or tofu and a variety of veggies and sauces that trade in processed ingredients and fat […]

This calm and unassuming little spot serves up some great dishes, using demonstrably fresh ingredients and well-constructed sauces. The fantastic food makes up for the stark interior — the egg rolls, for example, which are so often a throwaway dish, are truly excellent here, and don’t miss the soft-shell crab appetizer.
Sam Taylor’s does its barbecue wet — slathered in a thick, sticky, gloss-black sauce, a Tennessee-meets-Kansas City riff that packs both heat and sweet. The gigantic, slow-smoked pork ribs are excellent, as is the pork sandwich (or “poke sammich”); the homemade potato chips actually taste like potatoes, the brisket sandwich is decent, and the steam-table […]
Many of Denver’s longtime dives have been renovated into shiny shadows of their former selves, often transformed into hangouts for hipsters. We’re betting you won’t find a single hipster at Sam’s Bar & Lounge, a watering hole that opened on Leetsdale Drive 66 years ago. You won’t find any wi-fi, either; as one message on […]
