One of my favorite places in Denver. This place is a piece of old school Denver. They have awesome breakfast burritos pancakes and gyros in a classic, family-owned-&-operated diner that is open 24/7. The food is standard diner fare but you go more for the vibe (or to soak up the booze after a long night of drinking). It is on Colfax so it attracts all types of excitement and continues to bustle when the rest of the town has gone to sleep.
