Denver Restaurant Week is here from April 23-May 2! In this post, the staff at EscapeWorks would like to tell you about some of our favorite Restaurant Week deals, as well some of our other favorite places to eat in our lovely town. Try one of these places the next time you go out, whether or not you’re looking to escape a room!
Restaurant Week Offers
Blue Island Oyster Bar + Seafood (Kyle’s Pick)
Our favorite for only $35 per person: Smoked Trout Dip w/Red Onion Marmalade, House-Fried Yukon Potato Chips
Kyle’s got a great deal of kind stories about BIOB’s staff, and their food looks delicious as well! This may get an honorary award for longest RW deal on this post- almost every item on the menu is specially crafted!
Little India (Juan’s favorite)
RW deal: For $25 per person, you receive one appetizer/soup/salad, one entrée, one order of rice, one order of naan bread, and a bottle of wine.
While the Champa Street location isn’t listed on the Restaurant Week site, we’d be remiss if we didn’t include Little India! Their Tikka Masala is one of the best in Denver, and it’s convenient to boot.
Potato Masala Dosa w/Crispy Lentil Crepe, Squash, Peas, Apricots, Sambar Potato, Tamarind Date & Coconut Mint Chutneys
Cherry Hand Pie w/Cherry and Cream Cheese Filling, Candied Ginger Sugar
Linger is a Denver restaurant that respects its history, as it used to be a mortuary. It’s a great place to visit if you’d like a piece of history in your meal! I had to mention Linger on this list after doing some research on our own building… More on that in the next blog post!
I used to make restaurant deliveries across Denver, and I just had to add El Five to the list. While they’re a gorgeous upscale eatery, they remain as kind as any other. The confidence in their cooking is outclassed only by their friendly staff!
Other Staff Picks
Although these eateries have no Restaurant Week offers, they’re close by and hold a special place in our heart. Scroll down for our staff favorites!
What the Pho (Sunny’s Pick)
Our staff has consistently ordered from What the Pho whenever we needed a big meal quick n’ easy. What the Pho holds nothing back, and always fills their bowls to the brim. Each bowl comes with a wide variety of ingredients on the side, offering exactly what you and your pho-freaky friends could ask for.
Menya Noodle Bar (Claire’s Pick)
In the same vein as What the Pho, Menya Noodle Bar is one of the best options for Asian meals, specifically Ramen or Poke. Another great option for quick and easy food during a shopping spree on 16th street!
Tea Cloud (Tobi’s Pick)
Not to create any competition between the two poke places near EW, but Tea Cloud is another great option! If you’d like to splurge and pick up a boba tea while on your next poke kick, we’d definitely suggest Tea Cloud. Be sure to check out their website for some interesting boba options- I’m looking at that brown sugar and chocolate one!
Well, I hope at least one of these options on our list interests you. Go out and try something new- let’s be honest, you probably need an excuse to go out and relax! And while you’re out, why not stop by EscapeWorks and have some fun?
We did the Vampire Hunter room. It was just the two of us and it was just the right amount of challenging. Sean was our Game Master and he was incredibly engaging and just the right amount of helpful. He gave us time to process and figure things out before giving us the subtle nudge we needed to progress. The room was well decorated and extremely fun. We will be back for the rest!!

Our family had a great time with the “Egyptian Tomb” room and Dakota as our game master! The puzzles were fun and approachable for all of us, even though we had various levels of experience. The room also had a fun and realistic theme with some cool surprises that we discovered along the way!

We had such a blast doing the Vampire Escape Room. We were greeted by Sky, who was so kind to us despite us running a couple of minutes late. She was enthusiastic and excited to get us started. The experience was super fun and challenging. I love that you get little hints along the way to ensure you move along and don’t get too stuck and frustrated. Perfect date experience for my husband and I. Totally recommend.

We completed the Vampire escape room and absolutely loved it! The puzzles were clever, creative, and kept us thinking the entire time. Everything was really well done. Huge shoutout to Wyatt--he did an awesome job setting the scene, getting us pumped to play, and offering just the right amount of help when we got stuck. Five stars all around!

My group did the Vampire Hunters and the Egyptian rooms, Wyatt was our game master for both of them. Both rooms were absolutely epic! I was truly surprised at the quality of the rooms, decorations, props and puzzles. All of the riddles and tasks were unique, different and unexpected. We had a blast and highly recommend this experience to everyone. We plan to come back to complete the other rooms soon! Thanks Wyatt for a great experience! I love how you were fully in the experience with us and immersed us right at the beginning!

Amazing experience! I went with my brother and we did the Casino Heist room—can’t say enough good things about our time there! The puzzles were very interactive and the perfect difficulty for us to solve, the room set-up was exciting, and the story behind the room theme perfect. Cooper, our game master, was very helpful in giving us hints during the game without spoiling any of the fun, and was extremely kind, funny, and informative. Overall, we had the best time and will definitely be revisiting and recommending to family/friends!

We had an amazing time at the escape room, and a big part of that was thanks to our game master, Cole! From the moment we walked in, he set the tone with his hilarious energy and welcoming vibe. He kept us laughing the entire night and made the experience even more memorable. Cole was not only super funny, but also a fantastic host—clear, helpful, and just all-around awesome. If you get the chance to go, hope you get Cole as your game master. He’s the best!
