Brewery Bar II

The original Brewery Bar opened in the old Tivoli brewery – which is now the Auraria Campus student union – and moved to Kalamath Street while Nixon was still in office (hence the II in the name). The bar is decked out with sports memorabilia and is host to a crew of regulars who gather […]

Brewski’s Pub & Grill

In addition to running a string of bars and clubs since the 1960s, Chuck Persichetti owned Brewski’s, at Highway 36 and Pecos, for a decade. Nearly ten years after selling the place (which is now Buckin’ Harley’s), he resurrected the Brewski’s name and opened an updated version of his old spot in Thornton, at the […]

Briar Common Brewery + Eatery

Briar Common Brewery + Eatery opened in late 2016 in an odd, wedge-shaped building that was seemingly dropped into the middle of an intersection in the Jefferson Park neighborhood with little attention to traffic or practicality. But this strange location belies the classic philosophy (both aesthetic and culinary) that lies beyond the front door. The […]

Brider

Culinary all-stars Steven Redzikowski and Bryan Dayton opened this Highland joint in January 2016, and fans of the duo’s highly acclaimed full-service ventures (Oak at Fourteenth and Acorn) will recognize elements that run like swoon-worthy motifs across their menus. That means the meatballs we know and love, this time snuggled on ciabatta in the best […]

The Bulldog’s dark and shadowy space actually looks and feels like an Old English pub – not a nightclub or a cocktail lounge or a fern bar or even the Punch Bowl, which once occupied this spot. It’s a double-barreled shotgun of a room, with the long oak bar on one side and rickety, high-backed […]

The Bronze Empire

Tian Xia and Jing Wang, a pair of University of Denver students who moved to Denver from Beijing, brought Chinese hot pot to a South Colorado Boulevard shopping center in 2016, and it quickly became a go-to for anyone craving bubbling broths loaded with meats and veggies. In 2017, it became part of the growing […]

Brooklyn’s at the Pepsi Center

The most obvious thing you’ll notice about Brooklyn’s is the location: Situated immediately across from the Pepsi Center, its proximity to the game is a big draw on its own. But Brooklyn’s is also a great sports bar — spacious and full of so many high-definition TVs, you’ll never miss a second of any event. […]

Brooklyn’s Finest Pizza

There are practically endless combinations of tomato sauce and dough, and the expansive menu at Brooklyn’s Finest Pizza boasts at least 85 percent of them. Meatball Parmesan sandwich? Check. Sausage and pepper stromboli? Check. Create-your-own calzone? Double meatball pizza? Garlic knots and pepperoni pinwheels? Check, check and check. The most recent outpost of Brooklyn’s Finest, […]
