Su Teatro at the Denver Civic Theatre

Su Teatro got its start forty years ago as a student operation at the University of Colorado Denver. After that, it moved to numerous facilities around Denver, before finally settling in the Denver Civic Theatre, at the heart of the Arts District on Santa Fe. This is an ideal base for the company, since it’s […]

Sub-Culture

The sandwiches at Sub-Culture bring in a lot of pick-up business on their own merit: Everyone knows that when it comes to sandwiches, it’s the little things that count, and this shop nails them. The bread is the perfect blend of chewy and crusty; the ingredients are fresh, high-quality and plentiful, with plenty of vegetarian […]

Sudan Cafe & Khairat Injera Bakery

The designation “Middle Eastern” is a vague and shifting notion that doesn’t exactly encapsulate the spectrum of cuisine cooked from Morocco to Pakistan, from Turkey to eastern Africa. So forgive us if Sudan Cafe doesn’t fit neatly into standard notions of where the Middle East begins and ends; you’ll understand once you try the kitchen’s […]

Sullivan Scrap Kitchen

When Sullivan Scrap Kitchen launched in 2020, its menu was built around casual, familiar food. The next year, its zero-waste approach earned it a spot on Bon Appétit’s “Heads of the Table” list, and its burger nabbed our Best of Denver award for Best Hamburger.

The place is bathed in music and has […]

Sundown Saloon

Boulder: Bask in the sun as it rolls over the foothills…blah blah blah. Ever wanted to duck into a windowless watering hole while your aunt from out of town shops for a fleece vest at Patagonia? Descend into the subterranean Sundown, which promises booze and plenty of it. As its name implies, it’s dark. It’s […]

Sunflower Asian Cafe

Sunflower Asian Cafe’s owners hail from Jiangsu Province, but ask a server what to order from the traditional Chinese menu (you’ll need to request it), and she’ll point you to dishes originating in Sichuan. Heed her advice, because the kitchen does masterful work with tingly Sichuan peppercorns and spice, and its less-spicy Sichuan fare is […]
