Conu’s Corner

In 2019, Thuc-Nhu “Nhu” Hoang and her husband, Huy Pham, signed a lease for a space near Sloan’s Lake that they dreamed of turning into a coffee and sandwich shop. When delays pushed back the construction of the kitchen for four years, the couple ran the shop as a convenience store. In 2023, though, they […]

Convivio Cafe

Since opening in November 2022, this cafe has quickly become a force in the vibrant Denver coffee scene.

Coohills

The first thing you’re likely to notice upon entering Coohills, the French restaurant that opened at the edge of LoDo in November 2011, is the show-stopping chandelier, a six-foot-tall contortion of twirls and spirals, twists and tangles, twigs and roots laced with white lights.

Even though the Colorado Rockies have never won a World Series, catching an evening game at Coors Field – the great ballpark on the edge of downtown Denver that opened in 1995 — is something every Colorado resident and visitor should experience. The famous Rockpile seating section can always be counted on for cheap tickets […]

Coperta

In 2016, Paul and Aileen Reilly, the brother-and-sister duo behind the beloved, now-closed Beast + Bottle, opened this cozy restaurant that pays homage to the food of Southern Italy. Under chef de cuisine Kenny Minton, it continues to offer some of the finest pasta in town, as well as dreamy, house-baked focaccia and longtime customer […]

Copper Kettle Brewing

Copper Kettle Brewing opened in April 2011 on the border of Denver and Aurora, hoping to fill a geographic hole in the metro area’s craft-beer scene. But owners Jeremy Gobien and Kristen Kozik had no idea just how thirsty their neighbors would be: Within months, they expanded their brewing capacity by 166 percent. The taphouse […]
