While working downtown can be a hassle with finding parking, constant construction and traffic, it does have its benefits. One of the benefits is having a wide selection of food to choose from every day. There’s nothing like treating yourself to some good food to take the edge off! For those unfamiliar with the downtown area, I’ve compiled a list of our employees favorite food spots; we hope you’re hungry, otherwise you surely will be after reading this!
Mono Mono KFC
Starting out strong, we have Mono Mono Korean Fried Chicken (KFC). This is a favorite among many of our staff, discovered by Helena. We love treating ourselves to this crispy deliciousness on long busy nights. Brought to Colorado by JW Lee with the purpose of diversifying cuisine, you seriously can’t go wrong with these wings. Additionally, Mono Mono also has plenty of appetizers and sauces to choose from. Even while slathered in sauce, these wings will always be crispy- even when reheated. Is it magic? We sure think so.
Obento
Next is Obento, a small hole-in-the wall restaurant with a modern feel to it. This cute little spot serves a variety of Japanese food. Ramen, bento boxes, a variety of appetizers, poke bowls and sushi. Let’s not forgot about their boba either! This is a favorite of Felix (and a few others) and we find it hard not to order from here daily. After all, it’s right on 16th St Mall. If you want something quick easy and delicious, Obento is the place to go.
Make Believe Bakery
Now, can’t forget about dessert- allow us to introduce you to deliciousness, Make Believe Bakery. This bakery is 100% vegan and allergen free, but don’t let that scare you away. All of their sweet treats are beyond delicious, all made with love by an LGBTQ+ friendly staff. Helen’s favorites from here are the nut-free banana bread and edible cookie dough- and those are just a few of the many treats they have to offer. This bakery also does custom orders, wedding cakes, you name it.
Dos Santos
Next, a favorite of Matt’s- Dos Santos. This restaurant offers hip and urban Mexican cuisine and spirits. You can enjoy these crafty and delicious street tacos served in industrial, wood-accented digs. Their takeout menu is quick and convenient- they offer taco kits, where all the toppings and ingredients are separated and packaged. They also offer margarita mix to go too. Whether you want to spend a night out or take it home for movie night, Dos Santos keeps it convenient.
Ted’s Montana Grill
Lastly, we have Tobi’s (A.K.A my) personal favorite, Ted’s Montana Grill. This restaurant not only has mouth-watering food, but it also prides itself on sustainability and hospitality. Each location is a classic and cozy saloon-style environment. Everything from locally sourced produce to paper straws or two dollar bills- Ted’s Montana Grill won’t just provide you with a meal, but an experience as well. Have you ever had a bison-meat burger or bison nachos? Maybe it’s time to give them a try!
Awesome experience with Sean our Game Master. Easily top tier escape room with very immersive experience. I prefer not being able to ask for clues, rather the GM providing them if we really got stuck, which kept us fully in the vibe.

So fun! This was my first escape room experience and my 12 yo daughter and I had the best time! We solved The Speakeasy with less than 3 minutes to spare. Lots of laughs and the rooms were decorated so well. We can’t wait to go back! (Worth mentioning the AC was perfect and the bathrooms were sparkling clean!) Our game master Aiden was so kind and helpful - she made our day!

We did the Egyptian Tomb and it was a super fun escape room, Bailey was our Game Master and was super helpful and really nice. I do a LOT of escape rooms so I can confidently say the puzzles were fun and just challenging enough, I loved the tactility of everything, and the theme was extremely well-executed. We got out with 18 and a half minutes to spare and apparently did really well on the hardest puzzle 😎

My kids (6 and 10) and I had a great time doing the Casino Heist room! It was challenging, and I'm sad to say we didn't make it, but we still had a ton of fun trying. Jake was friendly, thorough, and helpful with hints without giving anything away, all around a fantastic game-master!

Helen was great! We did the speakeasy room in a public group. I would definitely come back in a smaller group!

Finished both the Vampire Hunter and Casino Heist room. Very fun puzzles and the staff if very helpful. Vampire hunter is their newest room and I will say it's probably top 3 escape rooms I've done.

Ollie was awesome. We had a great time and the room was a really cool new design. A few small things to iron out for a new room, but super fun! We’ll definitely be back
