I sent guests to Esther’s for quite a while before I finally tried it. It was as good as my guests reported! It's within 6 blocks- so very walkable. It has many TV screens with sports, but feels like a restaurant to me rather than a sports bar (but we sat outside in the patio -where there are also TV screens) They have some vegan options — even for pizza.

A great restaurant, but also one of the best music venues in town. It's downtown Denver. It is in the location of a brothel from long ago, so it is brothel themed.
