Copy link1. Dierks Whiskey Row- Denver
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
MileHigh andHungry@dierksbentley is one of the hottest country artists right now, but did you know his grilled cheese has that same kick 🥵 @whiskeyrowdenver is key 🔑 to Denver’s night life since it opened at the beginning of the year! However, is does house food as well, so you know we went to explore it!
•
They elevate American bar bites with some extra sizzle just like @dierksbentley does to country music. The pork belly nachos make the menu, the southern fries are the barbecue version of nachos as a sauced up tower of fries and toppings. 🍟
•
There’s no surprise in seeing burgers and sliders on the menu. For entrees a beer can chicken could be mistaken for a country song 🎶 and the pb salmon is a toast to @dierksbentley signature ingredient — peanut butter 🥜 But the hot 🔥 menu item is the grilled cheese loaded with tons of peppers. Think jalapeño popper 2.0!
•
Did you know @dierksbentley has the bar downtown @whiskeyrowdenver ?
2. Tupelo Honey
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungryIt’s time to toasty up, with all this snow on the ground ❄️ the fireplace works well but we like to think that the french toast from @tupelohoneycafe is better! What has you heating 🔥 up these day?
•
Each caramelized piece of toast has a hint of cinnamon to act as another layer of worth with it’s touch of spice. The crisp exterior is a nice counter to the soft inside the soaked up all the custard.
•
The blueberry compote on top is vibrant and has us wanting the fresh fruits of summer to come quicker! 🫐
3. Three Saints Revival
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungryWe’ve been dreaming 💭 for a place like @threesaintsrevival , with a vibrant atmosphere and eccentric food to revitalize the Denver food scene that had gone quiet. The mix of purples, blues and oranges harmonize as they teeter on the edge of too much but with each little element complimenting the next, it all comes together 🤩
•
The dark elegance of Hearth and Dram as let the light in for this new concept to embody and overseas oasis to the Mediterranean! Tapas takes over the menu with shared plates that offer savory, sweet, rich, acidic flavors to bring forth their vision.
•
The concept is all about dream states and the croquettes had us dreaming about the next bite. These creamy potatoes radiate with a saffron glow after breaking into their crisp exterior. The pork a la plancha is a play on pork and apple with tender pieces of pork belly 🥓 being held by the crisp top. The refreshing nature of the orange and olive salad is one rarely found elsewhere.

4. Milepost Zero
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungrywe’re GIANT fans of 🍣 sushi sunday 🍣 especially when it includes a bento box from @tinygiantsushi at @milepostzeroco !
•
@cheftroyguard brings back his Hawaiian heritage to the mile high city with his fusion sushi. The fresh fish that always swam to his plate his now being brought to us in fun bento boxes. What a great present to bring a taste of summer as we get towards fall.
•
We can order a la carte but @cheftroyguard create boxes for our on the go eats, a fun lunch date or even to feed a crowd. The vibrant salmon, tuna and hamachi elevate it beyond the classic trio with freshness and flavor. The handroll could be mistaken for a mini sushi burrito with a crispy seaweed layer surrounding it all. We’ll nibble on the edamame to start and then move on to the angry roll for some extra heat 🥵
•
We hope @cheftroyguard brings back his specialty sashimi! Who remembers his pop rocks sprinkled on top or pairing it with palisade peach 🍑??
5. Stoic & Genuine S&G Fish
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungry🦞 GIVEAWAY 🦞 there were so many MAINE attractions at @atasteofco today on 16th and thankfully we get to do it all over again tomorrow! From food truck and stand to pop up shops, everyone was out and about taking in some Colorado blue skies. But even after @atasteofco comes to an end, the rich flavor lives on in our favorite chefs like @chefjenjasinski ! @stoicandgenuine might be coastal inspired but setting sail right from Union Station is as downtown Denver as it gets. Enjoy a lunch date courtesy of @stoicandgenuine

3️⃣follow @milehighandhungry and @atasteofco
4️⃣for extra entries show this lobster roll some love on your story and tag @milehighandhungry and @atasteofco
•
The towers of ice chill the freshest seafood @stoicandgenuine can flying in with glisten oysters on the half shell, shrimp that aren’t so small, and crab claws looking like they might escape onto a plate.
•
A summery start insists on their hamachi crudo or salmon belly special. Almost sashimi style slices decorate a plate with accoutrements that add spice, crunch and freshness.
•
No seafood staple surpasses the infamous lobster roll. From the toasted bun to the loads of lobster, this simple sandwich is a success. The maine roll has the crunch of celery and slight creaminess from being toasted in aioli that begins to melt among the bun. The crisp lettuce catches everything. A Connecticut goes straight down the middle with pools of butter for the lobster to swim in!

6. Poka Lola Social Club
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungrywe probably won’t be sliding into home base like our favorite @rockies players, so we’ll just munch on some sliders from @pokalolasocialclub instead 😋
•
@dairyblock is one of our go to spots before the @rockies run onto the pitch. This time around, we started with bar bites and drinks from @pokalolasocialclub. It’s definitely not the traditional sports bar, but has a great vibe for game day or weekend nights.
•
They’re really bringing in summer with their bites! The pulled pork sandwich is a summer essential and these mini version still have all the smokiness and sauce of a standard size. It’s a little bit tangy and the cole slaw is exactly how we’ll get our veggies in for the day with the added layer of creaminess.
•
Rather than a dog for the game, we’ll take their burger. It’s simple at first sight with a bubbly layer of cheese and the option for the additional add ons next to it on the plate but this burger’s got game. Beneath the smoked cheddar is a bacon 🥓 jam 🤤 a bacon burger has one or two bites with bacon—this one has it till the very end.
•
Their cocktails give a more exciting and flavorful start rather than a seltzer at the stadium. The flavors of summer flowers and fruit always get a feature.
•
Comment your game day spot and we’ll have to check it out!
7. Tom's Watch Bar - Coors Field
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungryan ⭐️ ALL-STAR ⭐️ weekend starts with @twb_mcgregor ! We can catch all the action on one of their hundreds of tvs or the MEGA screen. It feels like we’re right down the third base line—mostly because we’re across the street from Coors!
•
It’s not just a sports movie theater because the food goes beyond what’s being served at the stadium. They have the classics like a hefty plate of nachos or chicken tenders but with some home run additions.
•
Their take on a dipped sandwich has us feeling like we’re at a steakhouse with shaved medium rare prime rib stacked on brioche. Instead of just the juices, it’s dipped in a rich demi that glazed each bite.
•
Their chicken wings can go from buffalo to nashville hot chicken to fit any home town favorite.
•
What’s your ball game bite?
8. Kachina Denver
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungrynacho how to get ready for a 💜 @rockies 💜 game? we start with a enough bowl of nachos from @kachinadenver ! With the @rockies game going tonight we already have our seat at the counter, facing the TVs ready to see some ⚾️ home runs ⚾️ on the field cause we know there are some in @kachinadenver kitchen!
•
We’re already fans of their brunch menu but they’ve definitely made our roster for places to go before a big game under the lights or to sip some margs with our eyes glued to the screen.
•
Their loaded nachos are big enough to share with every @rockies fan in the room. Each delicately thin chips somehow has the strength to hold their rich queso, pico, roasted hatch chilis, black beans, and even an extra helping of pork green chile!
•
Since it’s tuesday we cannot miss our favorite day of the week #tacotuesday 🌮 We went traditional but sometimes we’ll switch up the corn tortilla with a navajo fry fried that tastes like a mix of a flour tortilla and a pita!
•
The tequila carnitas has that extra hit of lime that it needs to complement the green salsa it’s topped with. The roasted chicken has us fire up with flavor and not to much spice. Their carne asada is surely a beloved classic, executed accordingly.
•
Where’s your @rockies pregame?
9. 1099 18th St
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungrywe never get 😴 THAI-red 😴 of @cheftroyguard concepts, so his newest @bubu_denver on 18th st makes it even easier to grab a bowl to go!
•
Even though we were lucky enough to live in Hawaii 🌺 🌸 with him, he’s giving the taste we were hoping for with his poke style bowl.
•
We can build our own or trust in a @cheftroyguard favorite. The thai bowl starts with rice noodles and gets fresh cucumbers and fried wontons for crunch. The shrimp is a sweet addition to the vibrant orange thai sauce we add on top.
•
We’re saying aloha to the more tradition route with a poke bowl. We paired the soy onion dressing with fresh ahi tuna, a half rice/half salad base, spicy kimchi with the hit of vinegar we need, and a surprisingly fun twist of green beans.
•
We’ve bean 😉 here a ton but can’t wait to go back. what should we order next?
10. Whole Sol Blend Bar
PEOPLE ARE SAYING:MileHigh andHungrygood for the SOL- @whole_sol and some sun ☀️ we can’t wait for more days of Denver summer filled with fresh fruit 🍎 🍉 🍌
•
Once the rain passes, we’ll be exploring downtown by Union Station with a @whole_sol açaí in our hands.
•
They do the OG with all the vibrance of purple açaí berries but we can’t stay away from their magenta pitaya bowls. Each comes with a mix of fruit on top and some crunch from granola. The coconut 🥥 is the tropical touch we need.
•
They always have a whole ton of specials and their new strawberry kiwi is killin it. The strawberry banana base is our go to smoothie order so it’s perfect. Then it might look like almond butter (an amazing option) it’s actually granola butter! It tastes of cinnamon like cookie 🍪 butter.
•
We’re sold on sol! What’s in your smoothie bowl order?
