Restaurant Name: Chili's

Your typical Chilis as far as the chain goes. Its right off the I-270 heading towards Colorado Springs from the Denver International Airport. Very festive and extremely friendly and fast staff. I was in and out with a smile on my face. The Babyback ribs were a bit pricey, but overall the experience was good. Rated 3 stars out of 5.

Denver's only full service Cyber Cafes ... an incredible hotspot of local activity from dancing, art gallery, poetry readings, a full bar, a full service restaurant, poolhall, the best jukebox in Denver, free wireless, and a venue for many events. Definitely a must-visit and must-hangout place to go in Denver's downtown. Conveniently located and home to a friendly and great staff, you won't be disappointed with this great place. Rating: 5 stars out of 5.

A recent visit I tried out the internet service and the food .... Several wifi networks to choose from, there home based network is the fastest in the joint - just get the username and password from the barista. The food - absolutely delicious .... I had the club with cajun fries ... it was enormous! and delicious .... hit the spot. Iced chai with a shot of Baileys Irish Cream ... makes the afternoon go by so nicely ... not everyday you get a bar and a cafe and a restaurant all condensed into one ... fabulous! Friendly staff and great service. A must .... (visited 6/16/06).

Favorite Dish: Club Sandwich, Chai with a shot of Baileys Irish Cream

Restaurant Name: Barracuda's on Capital Hill

An almost 24 hour diner/restaurant in the heart of Denver's capital hill district on Ogden. A great place for after partying grub. Service is a bit slow, but at least during our visit, great 80's music selections creating a good atmosphere. The food was very good and the service was friendly and good (but slow). Highly recommended for after clubbing. Visited 7/1/06. Rating : 3.5 stars out of 5.

Restaurant Name: Mercury Cafe

The Mercury Cafe is a ambiant, art-deco meets kitch meets circus'deco restaurant, bar, and theater that has great healthy vegetarian and organic food that is to die for ... alas, small portions for an incredibly outrageous price. A small side salad that comes on a tea plate for $4, and a house salad for $8. Most entries are $12-20. I only got to experience the restaurant, but I hear the community theater and nightclub is an amazing time. Big hardwood dance floor, antique bar, beautiful murals, and three grand pianos. Staff is friendly and completely blissful. Rating: 4 stars out of 5

Restaurant Name: Denver Diner

A blast from the past with decor to match, along the old route 40, in downtown Denver - Denver Diner has some great dishes and offerings and gives the diner ambiance we all adore and they offer late night dining. It's the hip place to be after clubbing during the weekends as the club zombies invade the joint. Everyone knows the place as its the hangout afterhours. Great breakfasts! Rating 4 stars out of 5. Visited 12/15/06.

Restaurant Name: Tom's Diner

Apparently one of Denver's legendary dives, this diner certainly isn't as crowded as Denver Diner for after clubbing fare. According to Westword, it's the "absolute best spot for watching Denver's insomniac-freak community while eating decent diner grub." Which i do have to agree with ... located across from Bender's and down the street from Cafe Netherworld, the food wasn't bad. The waiter was friendly, and we had a good time sobering up at the location. So if you're out partying and you wanna stumble from the clubs ... this place has it all. Rating 4.2 stars out of 5.
