On Monday, Governor Polis announced that restaurants (and breweries working with restaurants or food trucks) would be allowed to open for dine-in services – with restrictions – starting on Wednesday, May 27. The current restrictions include 50% capacity, a maximum of 50 people, and other social distancing measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Many restaurant and brewery owners are quickly working to get staff back in and prepare for dine/drink-in services, but that can take anywhere from a few days to a few months. We’ve pulled together a list of the restaurants with dates for when they will resume dine-in.

*We will update this list periodically

  1. Please consider reaching out to all of the neighborhood bars and restaurants that are opening up, and not just the ones with fancy photos on Instagram. For instance, W.T. Shorty’s in Washington Virginia Vale is now open for dine-in service, as well. Ursula Brewing is also open in Aurora, on the Anschutz Medical Campus.

    1. Absolutely, we will. We were just searching for some of our personal favorites and using social to find them as that is one of the only ways we know right now who is opening and who is not. It’s also worth mentioning we focus on independently owned restaurants, which makes up 95% of the included options. Also as the headline suggests we are focusing mainly on Denver in this first round but will add in more metro areas as we go on. But please send over any additional recommendations for Denver, too if you have them.

    2. You could consider asking them how they are gathering info. Also, restaurants who market themselves tend to do better, champ.

  2. Both Habit Doughnut Dispensaries and Carbon Cafe’s are open for dine in. It be great if you could update the list.

  3. I want to reiterate what a previous commenter noted. I see no effort to reach out to local (non-big investor backed) restaurants despite the editor’s promise to do so.

    1. Thank you for following up as you’re correct. We need to do that, I had to redirect my attention to the protests but will see if Caroline can jump on this ASAP. Do you have ones you’d like us to include specifically?

  4. The British Bulldog on Stout & Broadway are open for great bar food & drinks:)
