Coohills Restaurant and Bar opened its doors to Denver’s hip LoDo neighborhood in 2011. The restaurant’s namesake husband-and-wife team Tom and Diane Coohill brought their complementary expertises together to create a unique and appealing dining experience reminiscent of that found in restaurants in Europe, with a focus on local, regional, and farm-fresh ingredients.

The comfortably elegant space gives diners the opportunity to design their own experience, whether they desire to pull up to the inviting community table or kitchen-view Chef’s Counter, tuck in at an intimate space for two or more, or enjoy the outdoor terrace for a cocktail and small plates with an incomparable Rocky Mountain view.

The menu focuses on the freshest food each season, including such delectably tempting offerings as fresh crudo salads, hot-from-the-oven breads, a variety of house-made pâtés and house-cured charcuterie, and the restaurant’s signature crab cakes, as well as entrees of pasta and fresh seafood, roasted game and meats and locally grown vegetables. All desserts are made in-house, too — including ice creams, pastries and the famous marjolaine.
