Food Scene

Some of the best Italian in Denver—and maybe my favorite restaurant. Go any night of the week, or for Sunday brunch. The Chef Carrie, is a past Top Chef.

The neighborhood sports bar with a delicious menu and some great local beers on tap. The whole staff are cicerones, so you know they know they're beer!

Many will argue this is the best brunch in Denver and I don't know if I can disagree. Their farm to table offerings are definitely known to all locals and in-the-know visitors.

Might be my favorite deli in any city and I'm from NY. The sandwiches aren't cheap, but they're worth it. Honestly, if you have a midday or evening flight, grab a sandwich to go.

One of the few restaurants that's been here forever. The chef is a staple in Denver food scenes and Lola's coastal Mexican offering is amazing for both brunch and dinner. Note: This is not a typical Mexican taco joint. If you want that, head to Patzcuaros.

Denver does Mexican damn well and Patzcuaro's is one of my favorites. There is no frills here—it's a great little place, but it's not a lengthy meal. Their tacos, enchiladas, etc. you can't beat 'em.

If you like Momofuku, you'll love Uncle. It's sometimes accused of even stealing the menu, ha! Regardless, there are long lines, so come early or order for pick up. Great for cold nights!

Drinks & Nightlife

Great local spot with a totally unique vibe. It's a mix of summer camp, the Natural History Museum and Brooklyn. Perfect for a night cap or to kick off your evening.

One of the best views of the Denver skyline and a totally unique experience. Think: Food truck corral jammed into a 2 story bar with bleachers for site-seeing.

The neighborhood wine bar, I eat here probably once a week. Go on Monday or Tuesday evenings for a great deal on a bottle and bruschetta board.

It probably goes without saying, but they serve beer here—lots of local taps, guest taps and even some great food. Get a spot on the rooftop patio for a can't miss view.

Denver's best Speakeasy and actually, one of the nation's top rated. Not the easiest to get into, walk over early and drop your name for a reservation, but this place rivals NYC's Dead Rabbit or PDT, as well as anything you'll find in Portland or Seattle. For those who love a great cocktail.

Probably your closest Colorado Craft Brewery—which is great because it's walkable, they have live music at times and solid beer! I would recommend this over Prost (also up the street) any day.

Getting Around

Not only is this a great place for night life, with some great restaurants, shopping and bars, but they also run trains to and from the airport. Look online for a schedule, but it's definitely the cheapest option and also most convenient.
