The Kitchen American Bistro

The original outpost of the Kitchen opened in Boulder in 2004; a second was added on the corner of Wazee Street and the 16th Street Mall in Denver in 2012. Now, the Denver outpost is one of the few remaining locally owned options on the Mall, and it continues to serve an impressive menu of […]

The Kitchen American Bistro

When it opened its doors on the west end of Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall in 2004, the Kitchen had ambitions. Kimbal Musk and Hugo Matheson envisioned creating a gathering place that would draw from local farms to give diners well-executed but simple dishes – comfort food, but lighter, healthier and better sourced. Musk and Matheson […]

Kline’s Beer Hall

Housemade sausages and a smattering of Eastern European small plates are the primary dinner offerings at Kline’s, which makes sense for an old-world beer hall. But Kline’s keeps from sliding into oompah-band kitschiness with its austere, DIY decor and comprehensive list of craft beers divided into “featured friends,” rarities on rotation, staff picks and seasonal […]

Behind the concept is chef Brandon Spain, who previously owned Fort Collins-based food truck Tramp About, and his partner, Kaitlyn Peot, who worked at New Belgium Brewing for a decade. Now the duo is fully focused on burgers ($14-$15 […]

Kokopelli Beer Company

Since beer is made from grain and hops, it makes sense that Christine Wares picked Kokopelli, the Hopi god of agriculture and fertility, as the inspiration for her new brewery, Kokopelli Beer Company. The 4,000-square-foot Westminster-based brewpub, which seats nearly 100 people, specializes in lower-alcohol session beers, which are around 5 percent ABV or less, […]

Kokoro

Founded n 1986, Kokoro has specialized in speed, low prices, freshness and healthy ingredients — with a Japanese accent — for decades now. In both look and feel, this original outpost apes a Japanese noodle shop, serving rice bowls and noodle bowls, sushi lite (think California and spicy tuna rolls), gyoza, edamame and salads, all […]
