The owners own 5 restaurants in Denver and they are consistently on the list of best restaurants in the city. Each one has a theme; this building used to be a brothel so they play off of that. Unique two-story layout overlooking a stage where they often have live music. Fantastic for any meal of the day, but especially brunch or dinner. Good cocktails too.
