Denver Mags--I need a cool/hip place to eat lunch
I've got a "business" lunch coming up in June, and need a super cool joint to eat lunch at in downtown Devner. Anyone got any suggestions?
It's going to be with freelance journalists, so not exactly shirt and tie--but still nice. Something that allows for good conversation and hanging out. Thank ya kindly.The Griz

Lol. I'm thinking he's thinking a notch above Wazee in terms of dress/airs?
What do you want by "hip" Grizz? Trendy/chic/hip? Funky/local/hip? Business/upscale/hip? Where in downtown will you be?Thrutchworthy Production Services

more...
Diamond Caberet (peelers)
Ellington's (Brown Palace $$)
Bump & Grind (the gay coffee and sammy place with awesome chix pot pie)
The press club? (never been just know it's across from the diamond)
Red Square Euro Bistro (In writer square with BZ's recco -- decent russian food)
Panzano (it's got some problems but their Calamari is outstanding)
Illegal Pete's (super casual + bad ass burritos + full bar)
And then there's a host of "boring" places as well. The supper club though is super sweet if you can pull it off, it's just a little place that has a bar + really good pizzas and a nice casual vibe.
You should be able to get into most of those places as well...some of my other suggestions might run toward lunch-rush.
edit- Yeah yoss, I think it might be too casual but I could see it going for a certain kind of bidness meal. Actually, a budget would help tremendously.Last edited by lemon boy; 05-18-2006 at 12:07 PM.

This doesn't help you much, but i recently went to Boulder for a few days for my brother's graduation, and ate like a fucking king. Boulder has a ton of really good fancy restaraunts.

not to hijack, but I took a lady to the Highlands Garden Cafe the other night.
WoW.
had the grouper in a wasabi sauce with grilled veggies and rice. again, Wow.
as far as lunch. the Ellington's call is good and so is the Press Club. I haven't been there in years, but if you can get away with the DC. the conversation stops there."The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money" --Margaret Thatcher

Thanks for all the suggestions. As for hip, I mean trendy/chic or funky/local. As for budget--it don't mattah. I just want a cool spot. I'll check some of these out.

If you know your history, then you would know where you coming from, then you wouldn't have to ask me, who the heck do I think I am.

The Wynkoop is a fairly safe bet. They got a good menu but you can always get a burger if you want to kick it down a notch. Otherwise, the pot roast is awesome.

Mr_G: Next time....Duo.
Grizz- I'm trying really, really hard not to recco any of the cheeseball "hip" spots but I'm wavering. Maybe if vesta dipping grill has lunch...shudder...
Some more ideas: Good D-town style comfort food = Rocky Mountain Diner
if you can bustle them onto a LRtrain and if they're open for lunch there is simply no "funkier" or really better (foodwise) place than the Buckhorn Exchange (right at 10th and Osage station). Colorado's oldest restaurant (Liq.License #2). Specializes in wild/exotic meats and has thousands of stuffed animals (FYI- The Yak is awesome)."It is not the result that counts!

BTW, are you picking their brains on the freelance biz, or just looking to make some collaboration contacts?
I always enjoy people buying me beers so I can tell them quite honestly that working freelance is a dog-eat-dog world. But on the other hand, not knowing where your next $100 bucks is coming from really keeps you on your toes.

not exactly downtown, but the Blue Bonnet on S. Broadway is pretty damn good. Can either drive there or take the lightrail to the Alameda station.

Eldo--
This is for Ski Salt Lake--so it's the typical wine and dine, "we'll take you to lunch/you write a story about us" sort of thing. A good casual setting to update them on the latest and greatest in the Cottonwood Canyons for the 06/07 season.
