Here’s a trio of new menus to get you through the day, from hearty new brunch options at Steuben’s to a spiffed-up happy hour and bar menu at Panzano to a completely updated dinner slate at the intimate Black Pearl that looks forward to spring weather. Brunch at Steuben’s 523…

No. 94: Kimchi-Jeon at Seoul BBQ Pancakes for Sunday brunch are a time-honored tradition, but if you find yourself in Aurora looking for a midday meal, a different kind of pancake at Seoul BBQ beckons and could become a new weekend tradition. Once seated at this Havana Street mainstay, you’ll…

How are property developers increasing the value of urban real estate? They’re scraping single-family homes, restaurants and other small businesses and replacing them with multi-unit dwellings, offices and concrete warrens of retail space. It makes good sense financially, even if it pisses off the preservationists and adds architecture of questionable…

Two Denver Broncos players are getting a little jerky — beef jerky, that is. The world of celebrity endorsements can get very weird (remember when Joe Namath wore pantyhose and Joe DiMaggio shilled for Mr. Coffee?), but this may be the first time that two players on the same team…

Korean restaurants of all sorts are popping up around town — well, mostly in Aurora, but a new branch of the popular Dae Gee BBQ is set to open soon at 460 Broadway. Korean barbecue joints like Dae Gee are the most common Korean restaurants in Denver — and the…

After the initial sadness of saying goodbye to Tom’s Home Cookin’ when the celebrated Southern lunch counter closed abruptly in December, curiosity took hold: Who would be the next tenant to bring something new to the Five Points neighborhood in a way that would spark appetites and admiration — as…

A snowy day marked the perfect occasion for the opening of a new Vietnamese soup specialist; Fee Fi Pho Fum began ladling broth Monday morning on South Broadway, sharing a wall and an owner — Jason Tietjen — with the Dive Inn next door. The restaurant is the first in what…

Haggis, the oft-joked about, seldom eaten national dish of Scotland, made a rare Denver appearance on Saturday night at the 16th annual Burns Night dinner put on by the Scottish Rite Masonic Center in Capitol Hill to honor the birthday of Scottish poet, gentleman farmer and epicurean Robert Burns. The…

The annual feeding frenzy known as Denver Restaurant Week is nearly upon us, and Visit Denver — the organization that heads up the ten-day event — has published menus for more than 150 of the participating restaurants so that you can plan out your reservations. This year’s Restaurant Week runs…

Does Denver need Texans coming to Colorado to take over the taco trade? Only if they’re “damn good.” Austin-based Torchy’s Tacos hopes Denverites will agree with the company’s motto when it opens at 1085 Broadway on Tuesday, February 2 — the first of five Torchy’s planned for the Front Range…

Traditional Thai cuisine is not hard to find in Denver, from flamethrowers like Thai Monkey Club and US Thai to practioners of the fresh and sophisticated like Taste of Thailand. But Aloy Modern Thai, set to open Monday (February 1) in the former Trillium space on Larimer Street, promises something…

DADA Art Bar at Broadway and Larimer Street has looked a little vacant over the past few days, but there are no signs indicating anything is otherwise amiss. We checked with Iain Chisholm, chef-owner of Americatus around the corner, who opened Dada two years ago as a neighborhood hangout for…

The parent company that operates Katie Mullen’s Irish Pub on the 16th Street Mall and its younger sibling, Wee Katie’s in LoHi, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on January 26, according to the Denver Business Journal. Northwest Bars Inc. opened Katie Mullen’s in 2008, Wee Katie’s nearly a year ago,…

When Park House opened on East Colfax Avenue in 2012, it impressed us quickly with its homey atmosphere and laid-back live music scene — enough so that the place landed on our list of the ten best new bars to open that year. But while Park House continued to attract…

No. 95: Schweinshaxe at Rhein Haus A LoDo restaurant specializing in beers by the liter and indoor bocce ball hardly seems like the kind of place to run into proper, traditional German fare. Nighttime crowds in the club-heavy zone are typically more interested in two-for-one drinks and loud music than…

Kline’s Beer Hall, the latest project from bar pros Lenka Juchelkova and Mike Huggins, opened last Thursday night in Olde Town Arvada. This is the second bar in the neighborhood from the team, which also runs the Arvada Tavern just a block away. While the Arvada Tavern specializes in cocktails, Kline’s main…

The Denver Tech Center (and nearby blocks that tend to get lumped in under that moniker) is interlaced with shopping centers and strip malls that attract corporate crowds at lunch on weekdays, even if the area clears out by nightfall and becomes a ghost town on the weekends. Restaurants regularly…

Not much beats a cinnamon roll and a cup of coffee from the Duffeyroll Cafe on South Pearl Street to get the morning going. But sinful sweetness is a rare morning treat; better instead to stick with the healthy stuff for the first meal of the day. Sometimes, though the…
