New hidden gem...Devenney's. A surprisingly authentic Irish pub on 27, right by the intersection with 192 (across 27 from the gift shop with the giant orange on its roof). Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices. Their bangers and mash rivals Raglan Road, at half the price.
BTW, has anyone been to Colorado House of Beef, the "Mining Co." or Crabby Bills on west 192? Find it hard to believe they could be that great, but so sick of the chains that I'm sorely tempted to give them a try.
