Molotov Kitschen + Cocktails

It didn’t take long for people to latch onto Molotov Kitschen & Cocktails—from the time it opened in early 2023, it’s been one of the busiest spots in town. Of course, it doesn’t help that the space is tiny (we’re talking your first apartment tiny), so you should make a reservation before stopping in. From the team behind Misfit Snack Bar, Molotov serves Eastern European dishes with creative twists, like potato pelmeni with turmeric butter and beet-less borscht with red peppers and lingonberries instead. The food is the main draw, but the cuckoo clock collection has got to be Denver’s finest, barring some rare bird timekeeping collector we don’t know about.
