Vesper Lounge

In the fall of 2012, restaurateur Frank Bonanno took over one of the town’s most notorious watering holes: the Lancer Lounge, located right between Mizuna, the flagship of Bonanno Concepts, and the current location of Salita. At the Vesper, there’s no fuss over housemade bitters, no two-hour wait, no specially chipped ice – just reasonably […]

Viet’s Restaurant

Jammed into the corner of the Far East Center, Viet’s is the unsung emperor of Vietnamese restaurants, the handsome prince among the plebes of Federal Boulevard, the kind of discovery that every gastronaut dreams of making. And there’s no discovery here more dazzling than the House Special, which includes an array of different dishes – […]

ViewHouse Ballpark

When it was unveiled just before the start of the 2013 baseball season, ViewHouse immediately upped the ante on entertainment in the Ballpark neighborhood. Lotus Clubs founder Francois Safieddine bought the former Nisei Veterans post, which for decades had housed Mori Japanese Restaurant, and raised the roof – literally – to transform it into a […]

ViewHouse Centennial

When it was unveiled just before the start of the 2013 baseball season, ViewHouse Ballpark immediately upped the ante on entertainment in the neighborhood. Lotus Clubs founder Francois Safieddine clearly had a winner on his hands. Just over a year later, he opened ViewHouse Centennial in the former Rhythms/Trail Dust Steakhouse location, and it didn’t […]

The Viking

Known for decades as the Tap Inn, the Viking still holds it down as a bar-stool oasis along a stretch of West Colfax all but abandoned by other watering holes. Yes, it’s a biker bar by definition, but everyone is welcome: Regulars come in the form of blue-collar workers, lawyers, neighborhood day drinkers, and even […]

Vilar Performing Arts Center

Situated in the middle of Beaver Creek Resort, the 530-seat Vilar Center, owned and operated by the Vail Valley Foundation, hosts a variety of artists throughout the year, including nationally known touring acts such as Ringo Starr and Randy Newman; jazz luminaries like Diana Krall and Chris Botti; and internationally recognized opera and classical performers.

Vine Street Pub and Brewery

Vine Street Pub, one of the Mountain Sun spots, has been brewing its own beer since 2012, which makes it a particularly welcome hangout in Denver’s City Park neighborhood. A four-year closure starting in 2020 felt much, much longer to the spot’s loyal fans, who were ecstatic to hear of its reopening in June 2024. […]

Vinh Xuong Bakery

Bring cash and an appetite to this Vietnamese bakery on Federal Boulevard, because it doesn’t accept credit cards, and you’ll want to eat your way through the brief but tasty banh mi menu. We love the meatball sandwich, but barbecued pork and grilled chicken also satisfy. The fresh-baked baguettes alone are worth the trip, but […]

Vinh Xuong Bakery

There are a lot of options for banh mi in the metro area these days, but the Huynh family that founded Vinh Xuong Bakery served the sandwiches decades before son Duc Huynh opened his stylish and sunny cafe in 2011. He’s continued his family’s banh mi tradition of using baguettes baked in the shop every […]

Vinnola’s Italian Market

This nearly fifty-year-old spot has a crew of friendly staffers ready to greet you like a family member they just met. The small menu board lists a variety of options, but most people come for one thing: the Italian sausage sandwich. Don’t expect a huge, messy, red-sauce-soaked situation here. Instead, Vinnola’s serves a housemade, flat […]
