Denver’s food scene takes a big hit in 2025

Losing longtime favorites like The Hornet and Pub on Pearl this year has left a real void in Denver’s neighborhoods. These weren’t just places to grab a bite—they were part of our daily routines and memories. Rising costs, minimum wage hikes, and lingering pandemic effects have forced many local spots to close their doors, from sushi joints to bakeries and beloved bars. It’s tough seeing these familiar places go, but there’s hope: new restaurants are already planning to open in 2026. Which closures hit you hardest, and what do you hope to see in Denver’s next wave of eateries? #Food #DenverEats #SupportLocal

Denver’s food scene is about to get a serious upgrade—Dear Emilia, from the Michelin-recognized team behind Restaurant Olivia, is opening in RiNo next January. This spot is all about the heart of northern Italy: think Parmigiano Reggiano, balsamico, fresh pasta, and prosciutto, but with a Colorado twist.

Edgewater’s iconic bar space still searching for the right fit

Edgewater locals know the corner of 5280 West 25th Avenue has seen more bars and eateries come and go than most places in town. Despite its prime spot and rich history, the building’s been empty again after a string of short-lived tenants. Landlord Natalie Jolin, who inherited the property, is eager to keep her dad’s legacy alive but just wants someone who’ll treat the place right—and actually pay rent. With flexible terms and a landlord who’s rooting for her tenants, what’s holding back a new neighborhood favorite from taking root here? What would you love to see open in this spot? #Food #Edgewater #DenverEats
