New futuristic underground restaurant in Denver's RiNo neighborhood

BearLeek is a futuristic-looking new restaurant in RiNo that’s tricky to find because it’s literally underground — you walk down a flight of stairs to reach the entrance of this moody space, with inky black walls bathed in red and blue neon light.

The menu by EC Harrison Porter and CDC Rema Maaliki playfully weaves an ursine theme throughout, from bread with “butterbear” to housemade gummies. The dishes flirt with flavors pulled from the chefs’ personal and professional lives, drawing from all over the globe.

So what’s worth ordering with abandon at BearLeek, and what still need refinement? Catch the full rundown in my latest blog post: 🔗

📍 BearLeek, 2611 Walnut St, Denver, CO 80205
Happy hour: All day on Mondays, and Tuesday through Saturday from 4–5 pm
