VINCA on Pearl is giving midweek something to look forward to with the launch of VINCA Uncorked, a new Monday-and-Wednesday wine ritual. Exceptional bottles from around the world are being opened and offered at special Uncorked pricing starting at just $25 per bottle, making it surprisingly easy to explore standout wines without waiting for the weekend. Consider this your excuse to turn an ordinary night into a glass-worthy occasion.
Laughing Goat is blowing out the candles for a big one. The downtown staple turns 20 on Feb. 20, and they’re throwing a golden birthday party to match. The celebration includes a live performance by the Logo Ligi African Dance Ensemble at 8 p.m., a special mocktail menu crafted just for the night, and their full espresso bar. As a thank-you to the community that’s kept them going for two decades, guests will also receive $2 off their next drink.
West End Tavern is stretching Valentine’s Day into a full weekend affair from Feb. 13–15, perfect for anyone who believes one night isn’t enough. The menu leans rich and romantic with Colorado whiskeys, thoughtful cocktails, grilled oysters, smoked prime rib, parmesan-crusted sablefish, and strawberry cheesecake finished with lavender honey. Reservations are encouraged, and honestly, so is dessert.
Gelato Boy is back with limited-edition scoops that feel like a love letter to dessert lovers. The new Amaretto Cherry Fudge Sundae layers amaretto cherry chip gelato with rich hot fudge, sweet cherry syrup, and whipped cream, available while supplies last. There’s also a new dairy-free Coconut Truffle flavor in the case, making it easier for everyone to get in on the treat-yourself moment.
Hapa Sushi is leaning into seasonal comfort with the debut of the Tempura Kabocha Roll. Sweet Japanese pumpkin gets a light, crispy tempura coating and is paired with blanched asparagus and peppery kaiware, all finished with a drizzle of their signature sweet soy for a warm-meets-fresh bite.
At Steakhouse No.316, a new Chilean sea bass dish is anchoring the menu with refined, winter-ready flavors. Sage-rubbed sea bass is served alongside delicata squash and chard, finished in a fragrant lemongrass broth that’s both comforting and elegant.
