If you're from Wisconsin, the term "up north" will mean something to you and that's the feelyou'll getwhile enjoying friday night fish fry, cheese curds, and a brandy old fashioned at Wally's. Beer brats, wings, and Schlitz are always availablein addition to some great midwest brewsand the full Rhein House menu (since they share the same roof). It's almost like stepping into Wisconsin.

LORA MARTINEZ
BLUE PAN PIZZA Now open in Congress Park
Great neighborhood atmosphere, deep dish Detroit-style pizza that you can't find anywhere else! Great spot for warm weather when they open the garage doors - and then you can hit up Sweet Cooie's ice cream afterwards!

JILL MANT
AMBLI Denver Tech Center
They just moved from Hilltop and hadtheir grand opening in DTC this week. Based on the romantic setting they delivered in Hilltop, I am sure the ambiance will impress. Their eclectic, international cuisine, will rock your world! MUST TRY the Soup Dumplings served in shot glasses with the most delicious creamy curry broth you have ever tried! The Paella, is another winner!
MARY LEMIEUX
BEAST AND BOTTLE Uptown
Responsibly sourced American cuisine, the menu is small, but refined and changes with the seasons. Small plates are creative but not over the top. All flavors combine for delicious bites. Absolutely love the pappardelle, braised lamb shoulder ragà with ricotta and meyer lemon oil. Eat at the intimate bar and watch Jon work his mixology magic or enjoy one of their nice selection of Italian wines.
JEN LARSEN
EVEN STEVENS Sloans Lake
Not only are the sandwiches delicious and the beerwell priced, but you can feel good about eating there because they've partnered with 4 local charities to donate food to those in need, matching sandwich for sandwich every time you order!

Bamboo Sushi created enough of a fan base serving up their sushi at Avanti F&B to branch out to their own location in LoHinext to Recess Beer Garden. This Portland based restaurant has a "no-compromise" policy when it comes to serving their fancy fish, insisting that ingredients be responsibly sourced and humanely raised.

This one is right down the street from our Live Urban office in Highlands Square so we've been keeping a close eye on construction in anticipation of their November opening. Local chef Troy Guard from Tag in Larimer Square brings "elevated comfort food ranging from sandwiches and burgers to steak and fish" to the Highlands in the same building that used to house Highlands Asian Grill.
