The Goldfinch

1842 S. Broadway South Denver

720-576-1242

Bar, Eclectic, DrinkHere

Eclectic enough to make sense on South Broadway but more elevated than nearby watering holes, the Goldfinch filled a gap in the Platt Park neighborhood when it debuted in March 2024 — which was intentional. Owner Iain Chisholm lives nearby and designed the place to be a cocktail bar with a solid food program so that neighbors wouldn't have to travel downtown for great drinks. Along with offering a weekend brunch and regular happy hour, the Goldfinch regularly hosts a wide range of DJs.

Middleman

3401 E. Colfax Ave. Central Denver

303-353-4207

Bar, Eclectic, DrinkHere

Middleman is the epitome of new-school cool on Colfax. The bar staffers are some of the best in town, and they’re not afraid to get playful with both their service and their cocktails. But you’ll be equally satisfied if you prefer to sip on a cold Montucky or pound beer-and-shot combos. Making this stop even better is Misfit Snackbar, which recently returned to the kitchen after a brief hiatus and serves some of the most creative and delicious eats in town, plus a damn fine menu staple: chef Bo Porytko’s My Fucking Burger.

Pop's Place

2020 Lawrence St. Central Denver

720-949-1235

New American, Eclectic, Recommended, Menu

Longtime Denver chef Stephen Kleinman and sausage impresario Jim Pittenger, founder of Biker Jim's Gourmet Dogs, teamed up to open an all-day eatery in the Ballpark neighborhood on April 1, 2016 — a decision that Pittenger said would allow him to say "April Fool's!" if things didn't work out. But no foolin', the duo is turning out some clever and delicious breakfast and dinner fare — everything from Hawaiian loco moco, made more mouth-watering with a substitution of braised short rib for standard burger patties, to dead-on San Francisco-style cioppino chock-full of seafood. Pop's Place feels like a diner but gives guests a surprise with every choice.

Sunday Vinyl

1803 16th St., Denver LoDo/Ballpark/Commons Park

720-738-1803

Wine Bar, Eclectic, Best Of, DrinkHere

This Union Station spot is inspired by Frasca co-founder and master sommelier Bobby Stuckey's ideal Sunday evening — but instead of spinning vinyl records and opening a great bottle of wine at home, as he's been known to do on Instagram, he's throwing a lively party downtown. The place is bathed in music and has a celebratory vibe, but what sets it apart is the distinct, creative and just plain fun programming, including Wednesday flight nights, which pair vino with tunes from a wide range of artists, from Billie Eilish to Jimi Hendrix.
