Talk Like a Pirate Day was a month ago, but no matter — any day is a good one for rum-swilling. And at 6 p.m. tonight, 8 Rivers Cafe, 1550 Blake Street, will hold its inaugural Rhum Club Tasting and Food Pairing, mating fine rums with Cuban-inspired food…

Although the bar at Interstate Kitchen & Bar, 901 West 10th Avenue, is packed during the early evening hours, the dining room is nearly empty, with just one two-top finishing up a meal over what sounds like a quiet business discussion. The room will get busier as the hour gets…

While I won’t be in a hurry to walk down Pearl Street for another meal at Salt the Bistro, which I review this week, I definitely found Bradford Heap’s Colterra worth the twenty-minute drive to Niwot. And this month, Colterra is giving diners even more reason to make the trip:…

Brothers, where art thou? When Jim Karagas, owner of My Brother’s Bar, Denver’s oldest continually operating saloon and a joint he’s run for forty of its 120-odd years, heard that Brothers Bar & Grill, a Wisconsin-based chain, planned to open an outpost in town, he was concerned that it might…
A reader passed along this photo of a Taco Bell sign in California. No doubt that legalizing marijuana in the state would help business at the fast-food chain. Below is the full version of the sign…

Greetings from the Great White North, where the men are men and the women are wimps. Holly McDermott recently filed a $300,000 claim against the burger behemoth, complaining that a bathroom-stall door fell on her while she was doing what people usually do after consuming anything at McDonald’s.

What can you expect from an event titled “Dinner for Sinners: Give in to Temptatation, You Know You Want to Come”? Five courses of pure decadence paired with wine, that’s what — preceded by a champagne reception. Here’s what’s on the menu for tonight’s fest at Strings:…
It’s challenging to open a restaurant in Boulder, which already has so many good spots that Bon Appetit named it the foodiest town in America, but Bradford Heap, owner of the successful Niwot restaurant Colterra, was no amateur. And when the massive spot that had housed Tom’s Tavern became available,…
Upset by our video of the live octopus hot pot, PETA member Belinda Heinikey-Williamson threatened to protest at the Westword offices today at 11 a.m. That hour has come and gone, though, with not a single protester in sight. What happened? Was the circus back in town?…
