Local Business Spotlight: Urban Roadhouse and Bluenote Catering


I got criticized by a fellow blogger the other day for making a post about a neighborhood barbecue restaurant, stating that my writings were too "diluted" as a result. Guess I shouldn't waste valuable space supporting a local businesses, when that same space could be spent whining, complaining, and just perpetuating the cynicism and negativity that afflicts our neighborhoods in general.

Oh well, as a relative conservative, I will always see the future of our neighborhood in free enterprise and individuals that lead by doing, rather than sitting around and complaining. And in that spirit, I have to point out that in nearby Curtis Park, we have yet another great neighborhood partner: Urban Roadhouse.

Located on the corner of 27th and Arapahoe, Urban Roadhouse offers North Denver residents fantastic Platte River Roasters brewed coffee (also available by the pound) as well as a diverse selection of breakfast burritoes, sandwiches and salads.

They also offer a full range of catering services from box lunches to full-on on-site catering.

I ate there the other day and enjoyed a generously sized B.L.A.T. (Bacon, lettuce, Avocado and Tomato) and a Pelegrino limonata--A perfect lunch.

Like so many businesses in the area, they're likely 3-4 years from looking like geniuses for opening up where they did--So as always, join me in supporting them. Buy local!

Urban Roadhouse and Bluenote Catering are at 2700 Arapahoe in North Denver. You can call ahead for take out too: 303.291.3347

I'd love to support this local business too, but the coffee is awful, the service inefficient, and hours inconvenient. There is a reason why Starbucks is on every corner.
