Around the Neighborhood

"Reputation is not of enough value to sacrifice character for it."
- Miss Clark

It seems difficult to condense the history, magic and rumor of Colfax Avenue into a few short paragraphs. An Internet search of East Colfax will deliver everything from news stories about the recent redevelopment efforts to concerns from new Denver residents about living two blocks from its bustling nightlife. Perhaps this is why we love East Colfax. It's both bizarre and benevolent, the catch-all for every part of our society. It is raw and unapologetic, filled with creativity, sorrow, history and the people who ensure its infamy.

You can find just about anything on East Colfax. Our guide features some of the best shops, pubs, restaurants and tattoo artists from Grant to Monroe. Find out more about the merchants here and download a printable version of our Local Flavor Guide for East Colfax.
