Bar Standard

Once the home of Serengeti and Shelter, Bar Standard is an Art Deco-themed, modern-day speakeasy. While the name and look may have changed, the club, housed in the former Jonas Bros. Furs building, still brings in some of the area’s best DJs — who spin house and dance music — as well as more high-profile […]

The Bardo Coffee House

Chris Graves decided to open a coffee shop after 25 years of hanging out in them, all the while taking stock of various details and inconveniences that he would change at his own place. “There were just little things about them that bothered me,” he explains. “Like, why is the CD player skipping, why is […]

Barolo Grill

Since 1992, Barolo Grill has served upscale Northern Italian fare in Cherry Creek with charm and sophistication – and a generous amount of vintage wine. Ryan Fletter, who worked there for nearly as long as it’s been open, took over from Blair Taylor as owner in 2015 and quickly installed executive chef Darrel Truett in […]

Basta

Chef Kelly Whitaker opened Basta, his first restaurant, in 2010, and has since built a menu based on Colorado meats and produce, a dedication to old-world methods, and freshly milled whole grains from Dry Storage, the company he started with a mission to change the world’s food systems (no small task). From top-notch pizza and […]

Bastien’s Restaurant

With its iconic sign, sunken bar and mid-century aesthetic, Bastien’s is a holdover from times past – and we wouldn’t have it any other way. The family-run business dates back to the 1930s, but the current restaurant was constructed from scratch in 1958. That sign outside the Googie-style building touts the famed Bastien’s sugar steak, […]

Bawarchi Biryani Point

Don’t be fooled by the name: There’s much more than just biryani at this Tech Center restaurant. Guests are greeted by a powerful blast of spices as they enter, foretelling good things that await inside the pumpkin-and-gray dining room. That room is crowded (especially on weekends): Families with chubby toddlers and mothers wearing jewel-toned saris, […]

Bayou Bob’s Restaurant & Bar

Let the good times roll! Bayou Bob’s, conveniently located next to the Paramount Theatre, brings the spirit of New Orleans to Denver. This is close as you’ll get to Bourbon Street without leaving Colorado. The kitchen serves up authentic Southern cuisine, including crawfish, jambalaya and etoufee; the bar offers happy hour six days a week, […]

BD’s Mongolian Barbeque

Diners call the shots at BD’s Mongolian Barbeque, a bustling, decade-old LoDo spot that puts a modern spin on the traditional Mongolian feast. Build a stir-fry bowl from an assembly-line-style selection of meats, vegetables, starches and sauces, which are grilled on the spot by knife-wielding chefs. The possible combinations are infinite, from seafood-centric to meaty, […]

BDT Stage

The mission of the creative staff at BDT Stage is to offer “Broadway-quality” theatrical entertainment at non-Broadway prices. Ordinarily, a statement like that might promote snickers from anyone who takes their theater seriously, but the cast and programming can hold a candle to more expensive productions any day of the week. The theater showcases four […]

Beacon

In early 2022, Robert Champion and Mario Nocifera debuted a dance bar/immersive venue inspired by Tulum and Burning Man in the heart of RiNo, and it’s become a late-night haven. The space includes several hubs created by a core crew of a dozen local artists, including a beehive-themed geodesic dome, a garden-like outdoor space, and […]
