Benihana

Benihana is the Barnum & Bailey of Japanese food, an unabashedly corny and often embarrassing centerfold of eye-rolling wisecracks, theatrics and occasional mishaps from the knife-wielding teppenyaki chefs who elevate (some would say disintegrate) food into an entertainment form. But guess what? The food here is nothing to sneer at, and the fried rice – […]

Benny’s Restaurante y Cantina

Benny’s is a Colorado classic, a Den-Mex restaurant that serves fat-ass burritos, enormous nacho platters, free chips and salsa, and (allegedly) 350 gallons of margaritas every weekend. This is a favorite go-to place for a side of chicharrones (crisp and hot and greasy as hell) and a bowl of green chile (indubitably Coloradan – thick […]

Benzina

Brad Anderson has made quite an impact on the Denver dining scene over the past few decades, running the Rocky Mountain Diner, Rick’s Cafe, Chopper’s Sports Grill, the Castle Cafe and the Next Door Bar with partners Tom Walls and Jerry Good. A project three years in the making finally came to fruition in 2021 […]

Berkeley Inn

Part of the trio of bars forming the “Beermuda Triangle” at the corner of 38th and Tennyson, the Berkeley Inn is a neighborhood institution. The joint opened in 1934 and is rumored to have subterranean tunnels made for transporting bootleg alcohol during Prohibition. Regulars band together to help out other regulars in times of need, […]

Best Colorado Cannabis

Serving Wheat Ridge since 2012, Best Colorado Cannabis is located just off I-70 in a quiet industrial neighborhood. With daily specials and discounts for veterans, this dispensary has enough flower, edibles and concentrates to satisfy any palate. Best Colorado Cannabiss typically has around ten-plus strains on hand and gets most of its buds from Green […]

Beta

It’s not the state-of-the-art sound system, the primo location in LoDo or the crowds of beautiful people that make Beta Denver’s best dance club (though none of that hurts). No, it’s the high-caliber talent the place brings in week after week. Beta has hosted a cavalcade of talent that reads like a who’s who of […]

Bgood

It’d be tough to find a Denver dispensary more low-key than bgood, which has no signage outside proclaiming all of the skunky goodness waiting beyond its doors. The Washington Park-area pot shop is like one of those hip restaurants that only the in crowd knows about, but once you find it, it’s hard to go […]

Big Bill’s New York Pizza

Fugeddaboutit! Big Bill’s is the kind of place that sparks instant nostalgia, whether you’ve been going there for years or you’re making your first visit. “Big” Bill Ficke grew up in New York but moved to Denver in the ’70s. He once did a stint as an assistant coach for the Nuggets, and also owned […]

Big Choice Brewing

Boulder County boys Tyler Ruse and Nathaniel Miller filled the craft-beer gap in the Highway 36 corridor with Big Choice, a 2,500-square-foot tasting room and brewery with eight beers on tap and a late-’80s/early-’90s music, movies and skateboarding theme.

Big Mama’s Burritos

It’s hard to miss the chuckwagon-style drive-up just east of Kipling on 44th Avenue in Wheat Ridge — especially in the mornings, when there’s a crowd clamoring for the cheap but filling breakfast burritos that Big Mama’s is known for. The eatery opens early and closes by 2 p.m., catering exclusively to breakfast and lunch […]
