Highland Tavern on Navajo Street in Denver’s Highland neighborhood has been a city pub institution since it opened, combining a serious craft beer program with scratch-made bar food and a whole hog BBQ program that earns a Denver neighborhood restaurant its destination reputation in a city with an increasingly competitive pub food scene. It appeared in Season 17, Episode 1 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “Tacos and Tots,” which aired April 22, 2013. Guy Fieri found a Denver pub kitchen doing creative whole-hog pork preparations and bar food from scratch with the quality that earns a neighborhood tavern its word-of-mouth following across the city.

What to Eat
The Whole Hog Preparations — the kitchen’s commitment to nose-to-tail pork cooking — are the centerpiece that earns Highland Tavern its DDD placement. The Pulled Pork Sandwich with house-smoked pork and creative accompaniments is the everyday classic. The Pub Burger on fresh-ground beef is the bar food option for the non-pork crowd at the table. The Craft Beer Selection with a strong Colorado brewery emphasis is as carefully curated as the food menu. Find a Denver hotel on Travelocity.
