It is a truth universally acknowledged that the best (and often, most embarrassing) way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day is with a mug of beer in hand — green beer, of course. This weekend, Westword photographer Brandon Marshall stopped by Denver’s annual St. Patrick’s Day pub crawl to capture these…

Along with storm troopers, leprechauns and a few well-dressed pups, tens of thousands of people saw the spectacle on Saturday morning. Westword photographer Danielle Lirette caught up with the crowds to capture these…
By Kat Bein Damn, Ultra Music Festival is a mad house. Everywhere you look, it’s neon titties, the bottom half of asses or some kind of sexy rabbit hoppin’ around with a lollipop in her cheek. Only a special kind of woman can brave the downtown Miami masses for three…
Photo by George Martinez By Victor Gonzalez Gay, straight, bi or simply rolling face, if you’re a man with abs like Jesus and just enough fabric to cover your genitals, there was nothing wrong with showing off your manhood in Miami this past weekend. It’s Ultra Music Festival, baby! And…
10. CLUTCH @ BLACK SHEEP | MON, 3/18/13 Clutch has dodged being saddled with a label, primarily because of the illusion of reinvention it’s projected with each album. But the truth is that it’s just an illusion. Clutch is set in its ways, yet all of its music sounds like…
Here’s a second helping of some of Cafe Society’s hottest posts for the past week: Gretchen Kurtz reviewed The Populist, which opened in November and is a contender for Best New Restaurant in the upcoming Best of Denver 2012. Read her review of the Populist here. For Chef and Tell,…
Brush up that resume: Linger and Root Down — including the Root Down that will be opening at Denver International Airport as early as May — are hiring, and will be interviewing next week. “We are a local restaurant group that is growing and looking for the right individuals to…
Broncos safety Quinton Carter was hurt most of last season, and the contract he signed as a rookie in 2011 is pretty modest by NFL standards — $2.495 million over four years. That’s barely enough to buy a new Escalade each Christmas! Still, it’s tough for us to believe Carter…
The fight was ugly, even raw. But the Cebiche wars are now over, and the Cebiche on West 32nd Avenue is the winner. That was the original Cebiche, a Peruvian-flavored restaurant that closed in 2009, reopened briefly under a new name, closed again, then reopened, again, in 2011 as Cebiche,…
Location, location, location. The subterranean space at 250 Steele Street has swallowed up another restaurant: Big Easy Creole Kitchen. George Gastl, a native of Denver and graduate from the Culinary Institute of Scottsdale, had cooked around the world — in Santa Fe, Germany and, yes, New Orleans — before returning…
SHAMROCK & ROLL @ VIEWHOUSE | SAT, 3/16/13 With St. Paddy’s Day happening this weekend, there’s a ton to do. If you’re looking for something holiday-centric, you obviously have plenty of options. But you really can’t do much better than our free show, Shamrock & Roll, at the Viewhouse tomorrow…
One of the most legendary addresses in the Denver area, 320 South Birch Street in Glendale, now has a new occupant: Escandalo Sports Bar & Grill. The name translates to “scandalous,” and this spot certainly saw plenty of scandalous action in the late ’70s, when it was home to The…
After a massive renovation/building project, ViewHouse Eatery Bar & Rooftop will finally open to the public tomorrow. But you can see it today at a Ballpark Neighborhood benefit that will run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. (tickets are $40). What’s left of the original building at 2015 Market Street long…
As people who think about, talk about, write about, listen to and make music, it’s not surprising that the most common (and favorite) topic of conversation among us is the same: “What are you listening to right now?” Stick a quarter in us, and, boy, wouldn’t you know it, off…
Michael Paglia visits the Denver Art Museum in this week’s review, which takes a look at the later works of famed artist Georgia O’Keeffe, in which she dealt with New Mexico modernism as her subject matter. Continue reading for photos from the exhibit. See also: – Photos: Art of the…
Cheba Hut is much more than a pot-based joke. The small chain of “toasted” sub shops may be based in Tempe, Arizona, but it definitely appreciates local customers, local produce and local beers — the Cheba Hut in downtown Denver has twenty Colorado beers on tap. And now it also…
Cana Wine Bar finally opened last month at 2554 South Broadway, in what used to be a day spa. The bistro offers assorted cheese and charcuterie plates in addition to wine, spirits and beer. Flip the page for a first look at the casual spot. See also: – Restaurant roll…
It doesn’t take a functioning brain to know that the zombie trend isn’t dying anytime soon. And in Denver, where the fifth March of the Zombies took over the Grizzly Rock over the weekend, zombies are alive and well. The annual zombie fashion show brings together the breathing-challenged with the…
We’re not sure about rock, but the designers behind the 2013 Paper Fashion Show definitely used paper and scissors to put together the event’s crafty runway styles. Over the weekend, the Art Directors Club of Denver hosted the ninth annual Paper Fashion Show at the Seawell Grand Ballroom of the…
St. Patrick’s Day seems to last longer and longer each year. Although the holiday doesn’t fall until Sunday, Denver fans got into the spirit early, with both an Irish Pub Crawl and the Runnin’ of the Green over the weekend. The annual walk and race raises funds for Volunteers of…
