Jill and I both recently stopped by Civic Center Eats, a major food truck event that happens each Tuesday & Thursday at lunchtime in Civic Center Park. It’s one of the great Denver summer offerings, with a wide variety of food trucks rotating in and out to keep the options fresh for repeat visitors. One … [Read more…]
Fun atmosphere, but it’s a better bar for late night than at happy hour. I went to Syntax Physic Opera with a friend on a Monday night at 5:30. I walked in and there wasn’t anyone else in the bar. We chose to go there, because it was in the Denver Passport, and other friends … [Read more…]
I’ve been to Racine’s many times over the past few years, but it wasn’t until recently that I found my favorite menu item. For those who don’t know, Racine’s is a fun, local restaurant located in Cap Hill, with a large patio. Their menu is fairly standard, but their food is made really well. It’s … [Read more…]
Let’s say you find yourself in Glendale, (perhaps you just had lunch at Las Tortas, or just stocked up on some alcohol at the Target on Colorado Blvd) you should head on over to Copper Kettle Brewing Company. It’s located in the middle of an unassuming office complex off Leetsdale, a little after Monaco going … [Read more…]
Last weekend I had the opportunity to check off one of the goofier items on my CO bucket list, peddling one of those rolling bike bars I often see roll past me in LoDo. As the group of friends participating were mostly Boulder based, we rode with My Handle Bar in Boulder. My group of 16 … [Read more…]
Alternative titles for this post: I Can’t Believe I Spent the Weekend Baking a Cake I Need to Buy More Mixing Bowls It all started a few weeks ago when my dad and I went to lunch at my favorite lunch spot, City Bakery Cafe. (A post for another time.) They were serving a sample … [Read more…]
On a beautiful sunny summer day last week, I found myself on the patio of Marg’s in Cherry Creek with some friends before we went to a movie in the mall. Their happy hour is from 3-6, and includes both beer and margarita specials. We had the Prickly Pear, Strawberry, and Pomegranate Margaritas, which were … [Read more…]
After Jill reviewed it last week at its open, I wanted to check out First Draft myself, and see how it was doing after its first full week. The beer was flowing and judging by the crowds, this new addition to Denver’s bar scene looks to be a success. For the non-beer drinkers, a few … [Read more…]
I personally love a strong beer, and when visiting one of Colorado’s many taprooms, seeing a Russian Imperial Stout, a Triple IPA, or another bold flavored choice on the menu makes me smile broadly. At the same time, ordering such a beer makes it difficult to enjoy more than one, and the local food truck … [Read more…]
Grandma’s House is an awesome brewery that is decorated just the way your grandma would like it. It has old couches from the 70’s, rocking chairs, random figurines, old records, and knitted tap handles. For entertainment, you can pick between Nintendo, board games, bingo on Tuesdays, or just hanging out drinking beer with your friends. The … [Read more…]
