Sera’s Ramen Enclave

The closure of Bang! in 2015 left a hole in the hearts of West Highland residents, one that could only be filled with something soulful and sincere. Enter this ramen spot where Japanese noodle soups are made with Vietnamese and Korean influences. An oxtail-based bowl so packed with umami it’s called “flavorsome ramen” is only […]

Serene Cuisine of India

Serene Cuisine’s drab University Boulevard facade belies the cute interior brimming with elaborate tile work and bright-orange touches. The lengthy menu includes the standard proteins – chicken, shrimp, lamb, daal – in familiar offerings like korma, vindaloo and tikka masala, but with some more unusual choices like crab and goat, as well.

Seventh Circle Music Collective

Transformed from the closed Blast-O-Mat, The Seventh Circle Collective started with the mission to provide a safe space for all sorts of music and a meeting place for cultural and artistic endeavors. That mission continues today as host to numerous shows each week, Seventh Circle has filled an important gap for those who prefer an […]

Sexy Pizza

The shtick at Sexy Pizza is the re-creation of the archetypal New York thin, a good (if not singular) version of the classic outer-boroughs red-and-white with a hand-tossed crust, a sweet handmade sauce and toppings laid on thick. But the kitchen also does calzones, stromboli, meatball sandwiches and — a genius invention — “Ball in […]

The shtick at Sexy Pizza is the re-creation of the archetypal New York thin: A solid version of the classic outer-boroughs red-and-white pie with a hand-tossed crust, a sweet handmade sauce and toppings laid on thick.

Shake Shack

The famed burger chain opened its first Colorado location in March 2018 to a mile-high mountain of hype and lines out the door of its Larimer Street outpost. It would be easy to dismiss the New York-based outfit as just another carpetbagger in a covered wagon, except that it turns out solid burgers at a […]

Shanahan’s Steakhouse

Mike Shanahan may be long gone from Denver, but he left a major legacy with his namesake restaurant in the Denver Tech Center. Steakhouses are all about unabashed high-roller gluttony, and when you’re paying a head and a hoof for their beef, the cow had better damn well be worth the price of its hide. […]

Shanghai Kitchen

This southeast suburban eatery’s exterior is strip-mall boring, but it belies a recently remodeled dining room that evokes 1920s Shanghai with its dark wood and brickwork. The menu covers a range of American Chinese favorites, but there’s also a Chinese menu (with English translations) that features other dishes less familiar to typical takeout customers. Traditional […]

Sheabeen Irish Pub

The Sheabeen Irish Pub offers plenty of decor to match its Gaelic namesake. Maps of Ireland, vintage wooden Guinness placards and green flags dot the walls, and a poster from one of the first Colorado Irish Festivals bears a signature from Irish folk legend Tommy Makem. The authentic feel of the bar goes beyond its […]
