The array of cocktails and happy hour food choices were wonderful. Pre-theater is perfect at this location, easily walkable to DCPA.

    Another great evening at Range before attending an event at the Denver Center for the Performing Arts. As always, everyone was attentive from the valet parking staff to our excellent server, Charmaine. This has been my go-to place for many years now. I highly recommend making a night of dinner and theater at this welcoming place.

    We have been going to Undici for over a decade, and I can honestly say they just keep getting better. We ate there with friends last night and it was exceptional! They have great traditional dishes, and their specialties are wonderful. I had beet salad and butternut squash ravioli, and it was to die for.
