Pho 99 Restaurant
Neighborhood: Southwest
2200 W Alameda Ave
Unit 7
Denver,
CO
80223
Jessica H. writes: AS my quest for the best Pho contniues, I tried this one as it is fairly close to work and I had the hankering. Broth was tasty enough, but unlike Shiho, I felt it needed more cinammon. Also, there was no cilantro with it and I love my cilantro. I…
Jackson's All American Sports Grill
675 Kipling St
Lakewood,
CO
80232
Becky S. writes: Jackson's is your typical sports bar. Their menu is quite lengthy and very reasonably priced. If you make it there in time for happy hour, you'll certainly be treated well. The glasses of beer are huge - I'd guess 32 ounces! If you're looking to…
D'deli
1207 Washington Ave
Golden,
CO
80401
Tim S. writes: This place is AWESOME!!!! It is the absolutely best sandwich I have ever had. They have amazing toppings like artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers and the list goes on and on. Their bread is what really makes the sandwich.…
Dive Lounge
Neighborhood: Northwest, Jefferson Park
Downtown Aquarium
700 Water St
Denver,
CO
80238
Becky S. writes: The happy hour here was great - I haven't had fresh oysters on the half shell since I lived in New England! The specialty margaritas are great, the staff is fun, and the menu offers some interesting and unique choices. The best part is the huge fish…
Bow-Ree-Toe De-Lite
5050 S Federal Blvd Unit 21
Englewood,
CO
80110
Jim W. writes: Hole-in-the wall Mexican place with some yummy food!
I get the idea of the twist on a name for the restaurant, but the word "toe" in any restaurant name just seems bizarre to me.
Anyway, back to the review...I found the owners working here to be…
Morton's - The Steakhouse
Neighborhood: Northwest, Lodo
1710 Wynkoop St
Denver,
CO
80202
Tiffany C. writes: As I slide into my booth surrounded by dark wood and ambient lighting I had two immediate thoughts. The first was that I felt somewhat like The Godfather, surrounded by fine things and good friends. The second was that Morton's does what they do…
Mel's Bar and Grill
Neighborhood: Southeast, Cherry Creek
235 Fillmore St
Unit 200
Denver,
CO
80206
Lori M. writes: When it opened in Cherry Creek in 1995, Mel's Bar and Grill was an instant hit with Denver's beautiful people. Then word got around that the food and service were equally as appealing as all those model-types. You'll still eat shoulder-to-shoulder…
Sahara
9636 E. Arapahoe Rd
Greenwood Village,
CO
80112
Lori M. writes: I love places like Sahara, where enthusiasm, graciousness, and self-expression far outweigh self-importance. And of the multitudes of moderately priced Middle Eastern restaurants around, few offer the combination of fashionable, inviting surroundings…
SAME Cafe
Neighborhood: Northeast
2023 E. Colfax Ave
Denver,
CO
80238
Tommy A. writes: I really don't know how SAME Cafe does it. All food and drink is offered on the honor system. You pay what you think the food is worth, or you trade a meal for an hour's work in the kitchen. It's clean, the food is good, the drinks are good (e.g.…
Fatburger
14221 E. Cedar Ave
Unit A
Aurora,
CO
80012
Warren P. writes: Carnivores read on. This is a good place for a big juicy fresh burger. Megan covered most of the facts and I don't have much to add except that I am hooked on their burgers. I get the King Burger with everything except onions. You have to add cheese…
Ross Dress For Less
6492 S Parker Rd
Aurora,
CO
80016
Megan H. writes: This Ross is new, but it's ripped apart and wild because it's not in the best location in the world. Sandwiched between a TUESDAY MORNING and a dollar store, the people aren't the most helpful and the aisles ain't that clean or clear -- but you can…
Irish Hound
Neighborhood: Southeast, Congress Park
575 Saint Paul St
Denver,
CO
80206
Kelly D. writes: The Irish Hound is a great post-work watering hole. And by post-work, I am referring to 10 or 11 pm, which are the only times I've actually been to the hound. Considering as it's three blocks from where I work, the convenience factor is unmatched.…
4 X 4 Planet
Neighborhood: Southwest, Speer
176 S. Broadway
Denver,
CO
80209
Smoooochie W. writes: These guys are really friendly and helpful. When I went in Jake treated me well and was helpful in fixing my problem. My Jeep will definitely be back in his care the next time I need something done to my "baby."
Michaels-Arts & Crafts
410 Marshall Rd
Superior,
CO
80027
Amanda W. writes: I really need to stop watching TLC and HGTV. They give me all these artsy ideas that rarely turn out the way I plan, and inevitably lead me to a Michael's. For me, the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Michael's is: "where the heck are…
Nordstrom
21 W Flatiron Cir
Broomfield,
CO
80021
Megan K. writes: The best Nordstrom I have been to, probably because customer service in Colorado is much more earnest than in California. I bought a Juicy bowler here back in 2004, when the brand was finally branching out in different directions. I'm no bag-whore,…
Naked Pumpkin Run
Pearl Street
Boulder,
CO
80305
dj soundra w. writes: "There's only one time of the year that you can get away with running naked with a pumpkin on your head...in public--that's the Pumpkin run. If you thought pumpkins were only used for making jack o' lanterns and pies, think again."
- Dan Ja G,…
Starbucks Coffee Company
Neighborhood: Northwest, CBD
633 17th St
Denver,
CO
80202
Shiho F. writes: My favorite Starbucks in Downtown Denver hands down. Never busy and the staff is super attentive. It's the Starbucks off the beaten path.
Kassai Sushi
Neighborhood: Southeast
731 Quebec St
Denver,
CO
80220
Sasha S. writes: Kassai is pretty close to our house, so we end up going there more as a default "close joint" than because we're craving food from Kassai. The ambiance isn't anything to get excited about, and the sushi is decent. They do have some good happy hour…
Skate City
15100 E Girard Ave
Aurora,
CO
80014
dj soundra w. writes: Wow, I cannot believe this place is still around. I can't believe kids today would participate in something so lo-fi. I can't believe they still roller skate...but it does make perfect sense---roller-skating has seen a resurgence ever since Heather…
95.7 The Party
Neighborhood: Southeast
4695 S Monaco St
Denver,
CO
80237
dj soundra w. writes: This one is my second favorite station in Denver, and sometimes nearing first, depending what's on the air. "The Party" can be rather hit-or-miss BUT the hits are so hitting. "Denver just got its groove back." Though the station claims a top…
Swallow Hill
Neighborhood: Southwest
71 E Yale Ave
Denver,
CO
80210
Harmony O. writes: Swallow Hill is a unique and well-run concert venue and place to learn how to play acoustic music. Historically, it is part of the evolution of the old Denver Folklore Center that was on 17th Avenue just a bit West of Clarkson for years and years…
Montana Salon
Neighborhood: Southeast
8101 E Belleview Ave
Denver,
CO
80237
dj soundra w. writes: I love Montana Salon. Not only is the owner a family friend, he is also a professional, something, of course, very important in hair design. This is the kind of upscale salon you might like to drop $250 for a new look completely, or just about $100…
The Cinema Lab
Neighborhood: Southwest
2735 S. Raritan St
Denver,
CO
80238
dj soundra w. writes: The Cinema Lab is the only 16mm processing lab in Denver and they do a truly spectacular job. Employees are accessible and patient, an amazing feat considering this is the primary lab used by University of Colorado film students to process last…
Metroboom
Neighborhood: Northwest, Highland
1550 Platte St
Ste A/B
Denver,
CO
80202
Jason C. writes: I went here looking like a god damn sasquatch. Hadn't even had a haircut in nine months and random people on the street were starting to give me change. Which isn't all bad when you consider it, at least I have laundry money.
This place is full of…
Johnny Carino's Italian Kitchen
389 S Wadsworth Blvd
Lakewood,
CO
80226
Daniel T. writes: Actually, for a big chain restaurant, I was very pleased with my dish (Vegetable Stuffed Manicotti). It was very good, the bread and olive oil was good, and the service was on top of it (though it wasn't exactly busy). If you're looking for some…
Apex Center
13150 W 72nd Ave
Arvada,
CO
80005
Jeff K. writes: 4 stars for the water recreation area on a very busy day in Spring Break 2008.
The life guards have hell of a job and seem very vigilant and courteous despite that. They rotate often.
I will complete this review later; gotta go.
Ice Centre At the Promenade
10710 Westminster Blvd
Westminster,
CO
80020
avi k. writes: One of the best-run ice rinks I've seen, period. I thought I saw it all while skating and playing over some four years at the a2ice3 in Ann Arbor, another of just a handful of facilities with three year-round rinks. But the 'Cube sits alone a few…
Belmar Library
Lakewood City Cmn
Denver,
CO
80214
Daniel T. writes: A deceptively large library, the new branch at Belmar (actually across the street at Lakewood Commons) is a great place to find book or just get some work done. They have free wifi and 3 large rooms you can usually just sign into and get some quite…
Jefferson County Public Library
10200 W 20th Ave
Lakewood,
CO
80215
Daniel T. writes: I used to hate this library as it just feels... inaccessible. I wish this were a multi-floor library as they have quite a selection and having it all on one floor makes it a little hard to navigate. Overall a great alternative to DPL if you're not in…
Independent Records and Video
Neighborhood: Northwest, Uptown
937 E Colfax Ave
Denver,
CO
80218
Maha K. writes: The fact that they have new AND used electronica CDs is one thing. The fact that they have the same CDs that are hard to find elsewhere, is amazing. I've checked out Second Spin, Wax Trax, Twist and Shout and nothing compares to Independent Records…
Taste of Philly
2660 E County Line Rd
Littleton,
CO
80126
Robert S. writes: Good ole' fashioned philly cheesesteak. I got the Pepper Philly; grilled onions, bell peppers and chopped steak w/melted cheese. Mmm mmm. I was definitley satisfied. My roommate always gets his philly with chicken and he insists its better than the…
Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital
3695 Kipling St
Wheat Ridge,
CO
80033
Jordan W. writes: I've actually never had a routine vet appointment at Wheatridge. My old girl had a complex surgery done there when she was young, more than 10 years ago. They did a phenomenal job on her. The surgeon, Dr. Teague, has since retired, but I hear his…
Country Cottage Grooming
6709 W 44th Ave
Wheat Ridge,
CO
80033
Daniel T. writes: The smell of the shampoo that they use here will destroy your will to live for about a day after you visit, but they do not use drugs on the animals which is good, and they get to know your animal after a while so it becomes a little more familiar…
5280 Magazine
Neighborhood: Northwest, CBD
1514 Curtis St
Ste 200
Denver,
CO
80202
Becky S. writes: So I bought the December issue last year, and the Belmar Mall was offering a free year-long subscription to 5280 just for dropping a coupon off in their office. So obviously I did it. I love reading about local stuff. I'm not so into the "Dr.…
Cinderella Twin Drive-In Theater
Neighborhood: Southwest
3400 S Platte River Dr E
Sheridan,
CO
80110
Leslie K. writes: F.U. City of Sheridan and Embrey Partners. And screw anyone who buys the inevitably boring, cheap ass, bland condos that are replacing this icon. This development embodies some of the worst characteristics of America.
By the way, the 5 stars is for…
Wild Oats
303 Marshall Rd
Superior,
CO
80027
Hiker Chicka e. writes: I really like this store. It is super clean (the floors shine!) and well stocked. It has a very inviting atmosphere. I love their fresh farmed organic shell fish. And their vegetables. And their bread. And their awesome selection of new age…
Hole-In-One Bagels & Deli
956 W Cherry St
Ste 102
Louisville,
CO
80027
Ramon G. writes: I now realize how spoiled I was when I worked around the corner from this place. I used to swing by on my way to work and get an awesome breakfast bagel sandwich. Friendly place, not the fastest service but the thing I like is that they use REAL…
Lewis Fine Candies
6140 W 38th Ave
Wheat Ridge,
CO
80033
Daniel T. writes: Overall, a nice little independent coffee house with a heave emphasis on sweets. There coffee is nothing particularly spectacular, but their treats are very tasty. Nice on summer days to grab an iced coffee and chill out front.
