Restaurant Roll Call: Every Opening and Closing in Metro Denver in 2019

Another big year for eateries old and new.
A number of food halls said hello in 2019. This is Edgewater Public Market.

At the end of every December, we combine our monthly tallies of openings and closings into one big Restaurant Roll Call for the entire year. The exercise not only creates a handy guide of new places to eat, but gives us the opportunity to spot trends and reflect on a year's worth of activity.

And what a year of activity it's been. While 2019's overall numbers don't look too different from those of the previous five years, five new food halls — Broadway Market, Mango House, Tributary Food Hall, Edgewater Public Market and Rosetta Hall — swelled the number of new eateries in the metro area by nearly forty. And all but one of those food halls came with its own central bar. While Mango House doesn't have a bar (it's primarily a community center for immigrants that offers business services and health-care facilities), it's home to one of our fifteen best new restaurants of 2019, Urban Burma, as well as other Middle Eastern, African, Japanese and Nepalese kitchens all worth visiting.

In fact, metro Denver was swept by a wave of international cuisine in 2019. Istanbul Cafe & Bakery and Antepian Turkish Cuisine brought two different styles of Turkish restaurants to town; African cuisine made a splash with Jacaranda, Odaa and Konjo (both Ethiopian) and a second outpost of the African Grill & Bar; and Japanese specialties arrived in the form of sushi bars, ramen shops and izakayas — more than twenty, all told.

Chicken and barbecue both hit it big this year, too. Texas-style barbecue made a splash, with Owlbear, Hank's and Post Oak all firing up the smokers. About ten new chicken joints boasting different styles — chicken-finger chains like Raising Cane's and Slim Chickens, charcoal roasters like Chook, fryers like Boulder's Chicken on the Hill, and sandwich counters like Chicken Rebel, Royal Rooster and the Budlong — also showed what Denver is really craving.

And despite the closing of Bayou Bob's downtown, Cajun cooking didn't die out in Denver, thanks to a big new Sassafras on West 32nd Avenue and newcomer Magnolia on South Broadway. Surprisingly, perennially pleasing Mexican and Italian eateries didn't open in big numbers this year. Have we reached restaurant saturation, or are tastes simply changing?

Denver's hunger for vegan restaurants is certainly growing, with Somebody People, So Radish, Lacuna and Derive Bistro all debuting, though Derive is already gone. It wasn't the only place to open and close in the same calendar year: More than ten eateries came and went within 2019 (some of them at food halls, where a little shuffling is expected). Most notable were Ad Hominem in the Golden Triangle, Pistol Whip on Santa Fe Drive, and Huevos Tacos on South Broadway.

Other closings in 2019 were simply saddening, with favorites such as the Populist, Mister Tuna, 1515 Restaurant, Colt & Gray, Departure and the Wooden Table all going dark in the fine-dining scene, and comfortable spots like Barricuda's, Bayou Bob's, Glazed & Confuzed Doughnuts and Dino's Italian Food also exiting. While some restaurants closed because of rising rent, food costs and wages, there were many other reasons that businesses called it quits, from industry burnout to retirement and other personal issues.

Now serving our Restaurant Roll Call for 2019. Spot other trends, start making your dining list for 2020, and raise a toast to the places you'll miss:
