New Denver Barbecue Spot Imports Wood From Austin

After more than 20 years of living in Colorado, Texas native Nick Prince decided he wanted to bring a taste of home to Denver. Open today, June 26, Post Oak Denver offers smoked meats, homemade sides, and a full bar to 4000 Tennyson Street.

According to the Post Oak Denver website, the kitchen only uses wood delivered from Austin, Texas — post oak to be exact. The restaurant serves brisket, turkey, pulled pork, St. Louis-style ribs, chicken, and sausage.

Prince previously worked in banking and honed his barbecue skills at state competitions.

Post Oak Denver features nine beers on tap including Texas-staple Shiner Bock and Shiner Seasonal. The full bar offers more than 60 whiskeys (10 from Texas), and it sells Topo Chico.

The restaurant opens Tuesday through Thursday, from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
