Item: D Bar Denver

10Best Says

The D in D Bar stands for drinks, dining and dessert. It's here that Food Network celebrity chef Keegan Gerhard and his team serve up seasonally inspired, upscale comfort food along with award-winning desserts. Everything is made from scratch, in-house daily. Customers who are all about pastries and desserts can sit at the dessert bar, which is connected to the coffee/pastry shop. There they can watch pastries being made right in front of them. One of the things the chef particularly likes making is ice cream and gelato, and a gelato case has recently been added to the restaurant. D Bar Denver uses Allegro coffee, a Colorado organic coffee company. If you're driving, don't worry about parking; there are 28 spots available in the drive-through breezeway behind the restaurant.
