The Fort Restaurant

The Fort is a theme restaurant. Sure, it’s been called better things (a museum of culinary history, a gastronomic time capsule) and worse things (the fabulous obsession of one of the New West’s great hucksters), but it’s still a theme restaurant – part Old West reliquary, part Planet Hollywood with cowboys. The servers all wear […]

Fossil Trace Golf Course

A day at Fossil Trace Golf Club, a two-time Best of Denver winner, is more than just a day on the links – it’s also a trip back in time. This Golden golf course was designed by Jim Engh, and its position at the edge of the foothills is spectacular. But the history of the […]

Fox Hollow at Lakewood

Fox Hollow in Lakewood boasts three distinct sets of nine-hole golf courses that will accommodate all abilities, and they’re surrounded by stunning Rocky Mountain views. With junior golf programs, indoor and outdoor dining, and opportunities for weddings and events, Fox Hollow is a quiet escape from the nearby city.

GB Fish & Chips

Fish, chips, prawn chips, Cornish pasties, bikers, punks and soccer jerseys — what more could you ask of a neighborhood chipper in Colorado? Owner Alex Stokeld has done a fine job of transforming his second space near Sloan’s Lake into a down-and-dirty fish joint, with picnic tables in the dining room and beers at the […]

GetRight’s

GetRight’s got its start as a cottage bakery during the pandemic, gaining a loyal following that owners Matt Dulin and his wife, Lindsey Judd, worked to maintain during the eleven months of delays they encountered trying to make their brick-and-mortar place a reality. In 2023, the spot finally opened, and fans have continued to line […]

Golden City Brewery

Founded in 1993 by geologists Charlie and Janine Sturdavant, the Golden City Brewery is a classic mountain town business: the brewery was in a carriage house in the backyard of the couple’s home, while the tasting area was in the living room. Two decades later, Golden’s “second largest brewery” is still in the Sturdavant’s backyard […]

Golden Goal

Golden Goal began as an indoor soccer facility in Golden, but in recent years it’s expanded to allow for other activities. Two state-of-the-art turf fields handle soccer leagues of all ages; there’s also a dodgeball league and a frisbee league. The fields and batting cages are all available to rent for daily or hourly prices.

Golden Moon Speakeasy

In 2007, when the U.S. government finally allowed absinthe to be made and sold in this country, distiller Stephen Gould was ready. By 2008, his hobby had become Golden Moon Distillery, which has since expanded to an eclectic lineup of liqueurs. In 2014, this tasting room that doubles as a destination for classic cocktails opened […]

Golden Oldy Cyclery

A cycling research library and museum of cycling history, with a mock 1889 bicycle repair shop and exhibits of Victorian-era bikes and bicycling accessories and clothing, located in Golden along the Lariat Loop Scenic and Historic Byway.

Grammy’s Goodies

Grammy’s started out as little more than a booth selling homemade cookies at Lakewood’s annual Festival Italiano, but expanded to a counter-service restaurant and bakery in 2015. Somehow, though, it feels like it’s been around a lot longer. Go here for pizza, towering slices of lasagna, and savory sausage cannoli (spelled here with a double […]

The Healing House

The Healing House menu is freaking huge. The shop is located at pretty much the western end of Alameda, just a few miles before it crooks southwest around Green Mountain and ends at the foothills. But both the quality of the organic, soil-grown herb and (notably) the selection are well worth the fifteen-minute drive from […]
