Biker Jim’s opened its second brick-and-mortar spot, this one in Highlands Ranch, at 11 a.m. today. Although the hours might not be as expansive in suburbia as they are at the original in the Ballpark neighborhood (where Biker Jim’s stays open until 3 a.m. on weekends), the menu is just…
Dunkin’ Donuts has jumped the shark. Last year at this time, two spots were duking it out to be the first new Dunkin’ Donuts store to open in metro Denver in decades. (The Broadway location won by a few hours.) And now, with doughnut joints popping up all over town,…

Every week, there are hundreds of concerts in Denver.

At lunchtime today, there were a lot of disappointed people outside the locked doors of Zocalo Restaurant & Bar, the Mexican joint that some veteran employees of Benny’s opened four years ago on East 11th Avenue. But no one was more disappointed than landlord Regas Christou, who’d stopped by to…
No. 84 Chips and Dip at Euclid Hall 1317 14th Street 303-595-4255 When the phrase “chips and dip” appears on a restaurant menu, your eyes tend to slide right past to more interesting options. At Euclid Hall, though, that would be a mistake. As with all the dishes at this…

The Colorado Brewers Guild and Imbibe Denver hosted Sesh Fest, the second in their “Lovibond series” of festivals, last Saturday at Sculpture Park in the Denver Performing Arts Complex.

Texas-style barbecue seldom gets respect in Colorado…mostly because it comes from Texas. But Wayne’s Smoke Shack proves that honest food prepared with passion and skill can overcome even the haters.

Earlier this spring we brought news that California all-natural burger chain BurgerFi had started construction on Broadway. The fast-casual burger eatery, which gets its name from its stated goal of the “burgerfication of the nation,” began flipping beef late last week for what may be an already-burgerfied Denver market. Our…
Denver Black Sky II brought a true believer’s lineup of hardcore and metal to the Gothic Theater over the weekend.
