⭐ Lloyd's pick — a polished chop-house in University Village with an excellent Happy Hour that regulars plan their week around. Dry-aged steaks, a proper butcher shop next door, and some of the best craft cocktails on the north side of town.

Happy Hour is the move — typically weekdays in the early evening at the bar, with half-off select steak bites, discounted cocktails, and wine by the glass. Come for the Happy Hour, stay for dinner, or just make a whole night of it at the bar.

The attached butcher shop sells the same dry-aged cuts they serve in the dining room — worth a stop if you’re grilling back at the rental. Located in University Village Colorado shopping center (easy parking, unlike downtown).
