When a group of Golden friends saw that a historic building in their town was in danger of redevelopment, they decided to take matters into their own hands.
Three years and more than $6 million later, The Golden Mill has opened to the public. It’s a food hall with five vendors, a beer hall with more than 50 local brews, and a community center with art and music, plus plenty of other events on tap.

A Fort Collins-based fried chicken restaurant is coming to Denver after five successful years up north.
Music City Hot Chicken and TRVE Brewing on Wednesday announced their partnership in building a satellite fried chicken kitchen inside the Baker neighborhood brewery.
MCHC Denver is slated to open at TRVE in the Baker neighborhood by late spring.
Jordan and Sam Graf, brothers and owners of the original Music City Hot Chicken, said they weren’t planning a Denver location before talking with TRVE founder Nick Nunns.

Wherever you’re headed this season for a Colorado mountain getaway, you can expect to find a new restaurant or two to try out. And with restrictions changing regularly, they’re all outfitted with combinations of heated patios, limited indoor dining and, of course, takeout.
Here are a handful of spots that have risen to the top of our list for the next weekend or better yet, weekday visit. There’s an airy seasonal American cafe in Eagle, a fried chicken window in Frisco, not one but two charcuterie and wine bars in Steamboat Springs, an omakase counter in Aspen and an après lounge plus steakhouse in Vail Village.

As someone who writes about restaurants and the people behind them, someone who has tried over the last 10 months to shine a light on their hardships, I am the last person who should say this: I don’t feel it’s worth eating out anymore.

Can’t possibly imagine what surprises 2021 has in store for Denver and Front Range restaurants? Frankly, neither can we. But the future still feels hopeful at least for these 18 spots slated to open throughout the year.
Most are located around Denver, but we’ve also unearthed a few coming to Fort Collins, Boulder and Colorado Springs. And we’ve spotted some trends already.
Pizza seems to be a strong bet moving forward. The pandemic has shown Denver restaurants what people really want in times of distress. The answer: cheese and bread, of course. (See also ice cream in that same category. And throw in tacos and tequila, too.)
