Tony P’s is a great neighborhood bar in Denver, Colorado. You can sit at tables or at the bar. I love sitting at the bar and I got great service from the owner. There are some must tries if you visit. The garlic bread is freshly made breadsticks that are baked to perfection. They are topped with olive oil, garlic and Parmesan cheese. You can add mozzarella for extra, but it’s not necessary. They were delicious just on their own. Pan roasted meatballs we perfect. These homemade meatballs are tender and juicy. The flavor was amazing. You get four big…

We had just landed in Denver, Colorado. The flight was a few hours and with the time difference it was the start of breakfast time out West. We wanted to find a good place to go for breakfast outside of the city. When I checked out the area I came across Urban Egg. In glancing over the menu I knew this place would hit the spot. The restaurant already had a small line when we walked through the door. Good news is we did not have to wait too long for a table. The restaurant had some great wall décor…

It’s National Beer Lover’s Day. Whether you like IPA’s, Lagers, or even Sour Beers, today is a reason to celebrate. I decided to make Henry’s Tavern in Denver, Colorado my celebration spot. They are a large sports bar with plenty of seats for everyone. For my beer, I wanted to make sure I got something local. I ordered the New Belgium Brewing Dominga Mimosa Sour. It is brewed in Ft. Collins, Colorado. It had a great citrus taste to it and a nice tangy bite at the end. I love sour beers; they are so unique. To help wash down…

I was in Denver, and it was a beautiful summer day. After going to the aquarium, I was ready for an afternoon treat. Since it was hot outside, I thought ice cream was exactly what I needed. I found Inside Scoop Creamery and thought this would be the perfect spot to celebrate National Ice Cream Day. When I walked through the doors, I could smell the homemade waffle cones being made. It smelt delicious. They make 20 different flavor of ice cream daily. It was hard to make a decision but luckily, they offer sample tastings of everything to help.…

Not far from the Colorado Rockies baseball stadium in Denver is a restaurant called The Original. When I walked in, I was surprised by the style of restaurant. It was an updated take on an old school diner. There were old nick-nacks everywhere. They had a malt-shop like bar that you could sit at. It was totally retro. Their menu also fit that classic diner theme. I started off with a cup of Matzo Ball Soup. This chicken broth had caramelized onions and seasoning throughout. There was one giant matzo ball that was light and fluffy. The broth needed a…

There is a great area in downtown Denver called Larimer Square that is filled with shops and restaurants. At the corner of the block, I came across a Mexican restaurant called Tamayo. I thought I would check them out for dinner. As soon as I walked through the door, I noticed their beautiful bar. It was so colorful. It really was a showstopper, not to mention all the choices of liquor they offered. The waitress brought over some fresh tortilla chips and a homemade salsa. The salsa had a slight roasted flavor to it. There was no heat, it was…

I was traveling through Denver recently and was trying to figure out where to get some lunch. I came across Kyoto Ramen. They looked pretty busy. I had not had fresh ramen in a long while, so I decided to check them out. They had a couple of ramens to choose from; I went after the chicken, with an extra side of ramen noodles. It might just be me, but I like extra noodles in my broth. They used grilled chicken. It was laid put beautifully in the bowl along with bamboo shoots, kikurage mushrooms, green onions, bean sprouts, seaweed,…

While in Denver I got to have dinner in a building that was built in 1883. The building that started off as a home has been everything from a flea market to a brothel. It is currently the home to the restaurant called Euclid Hall. It has a rustic feel inside with reclaimed wood, exposed brick walls, and industrial metal accents. To start my evening off I ordered one of their fancy cocktails. The Kansas City Kreamsickle sounded prefect. They blended together vodka, aperol honey, lime, cucumber, and basil. I guess because of the name I expected this drink to…

Denver is a wonderful city. There is so much to do and a lot of it can be done by walking. However, all that walking around can make you extremely hungry. That is exactly what happened to me. So, walking around in the main shopping area downtown I came across Henry’s Tavern. They were busy, so I thought I would check them out. Since I worked up a big appetite, I ordered a bunch of dishes for the table. The good thing was all the dishes were able to be shared. To start with was the spinach and artichoke dip.…
