Uptown, one of Denver's most walkable and denser neighborhoods, continues to grow its dining scene. The East Denver area that is concentrated around 17th and 19th Avenues combines a youthful urban environment with a sprinkling of some of the best eating and drinking establishments. There seems to be something for everyone from burgers at places like Park & Co. (from the team at behind Parkburger) and Mile High Hamburger Mary's, Italian food at Il Posto and Coperta, contemporary American at Beast + Bottle, and vegan eats at Watercourse.

Some of the following spots have stood the test of time and trends, while others grace the scene with novelty and a fresh approach. Here's where to eat and drink in Uptown.
