On Upper Colfax you will find an experience that is entirely original and distinctly different. The area is among Denver’s most colorful and creative neighborhoods– full of shops, restaurants, galleries and cultural amenities. Now, more than ever, Upper Colfax is attracting attention as a destination for locals and visitors alike. With more than 300 businesses, you are as likely to find an herbal medicine shop as you are a restaurant with a beer selection from around the world. Dine outside, browse inside but walk street side to meet the owners that make Upper Colfax a ‘must-do’ when visiting Denver. Just about every business owner has an idea (or a story) for how to make your Upper Colfax experience memorable. The neighborhood is easily accessible via car or bus, as well as by taxi or by foot. For more information on restaurants, lodging, stores and businesses (as well as upcoming events), please visit www.colfaxave.com. A Brief History of Colfax In 1850, miners came to Colorado looking for their riches in the Rocky Mountains–many travelled through Denver on Colfax Ave. (previously called “Golden Road” or” Grand Ave.”). UPPER COLFAX MAP Colfax Ave. is often recognized as the longest continuous commercial street in the Unites States and, in the early years, was said to be the “Gateway to the Rockies” as it takes travelers from the plains to the mountains. In the early years, Colfax was lined with large homes, attracting wealthy residents to the area. As the demand for large houses subsided after the 1893 Silver Panic, the homes along Colfax were transformed into the first apartments while others were converted to commercial uses. In fact, today, many of those early roof lines can be detected behind storefronts. Colfax emerged as a center of commerce in the Denver area in the early 1900’s. Churches were built near the Colfax area and communities developed in proximity to the local businesses. Eventually some people moved past Denver boundaries (into what are now the suburbs) while others embraced the new culture along Colfax and established more businesses to meet the need of urban residents. From small grocery stores to restaurants to live music hot spots, the area developed as a community anchored by cultural amenities. Colfax became increasingly vibrant with the addition of a trolley route down the middle of the street and, with the invention of the car, Colfax was a place for a drive down main street to visit with friends, dine and shop. The area became a tourist destination and saw the addition of motels, inns and bed & breakfasts. Once Interstate 70 opened, Colfax was no longer accessed as the main thoroughfare for travelers. Source: Colorado Historical Society To assist in spreading the word about the growth of this lively destination consisting of entrepreneurial businesses, the Colfax Business Improvement District (CBID) Board of Directors commissioned the development of this directory/map sharing the breadth of Upper Colfax shopping, dining and exploration. The Colfax BID board of directors is comprised of area business and property owners. In creating this map, the board intended to highlight neighborhood businesses and bring awareness to this growing community of entrepreneurs. In addition to supporting the businesses on Upper Colfax through awareness and business support, CBID is responsible for creating a clean and safe environment for guests and business owners. A strong partnership with District 6 Police has allowed the CBID to initiate and maintain a preventive program in order to maintain an enjoyable experience along Upper Colfax. If you do not see your business listed in this directory (and you are a business located within the CBID boundaries) please call us at 303-832-2086. Capitol Cigars 919 E.

A Brief History of Colfax In 1850, miners came to Colorado looking for their riches in the Rocky Mountains–many travelled through Denver on Colfax Ave. (previously called “Golden Road” or” Grand Ave.”). Colfax Ave. is often recognized as the longest continuous commercial street in the Unites States and, in the early years, was said to be the “Gateway to the Rockies” as it takes travelers from the plains to the mountains. In the early years, Colfax was lined with large homes, attracting wealthy residents to the area. As the demand for large houses subsided after the 1893 Silver Panic, the homes along Colfax were transformed into the first apartments while others were converted to commercial uses. In fact, today, many of those early roof lines can be detected behind storefronts. Colfax emerged as a center of commerce in the Denver area in the early 1900’s. Churches were built near the Colfax area and communities developed in proximity to the local businesses. Eventually some people moved past Denver boundaries (into what are now the suburbs) while others embraced the new culture along Colfax and established more businesses to meet the need of urban residents. From small grocery stores to restaurants to live music hot spots, the area developed as a community anchored by cultural amenities. Colfax became increasingly vibrant with the addition of a trolley route down the middle of the street and, with the invention of the car, Colfax was a place for a drive down main street to visit with friends, dine and shop. The area became a tourist destination and saw the addition of motels, inns and bed & breakfasts. Once Interstate 70 opened, Colfax was no longer accessed as the main thoroughfare for travelers. From the colfax b.i.d. Now, more than ever, Upper Colfax is attracting attention as a destination for locals and visitors alike. To assist in spreading the word about the growth of this lively destination consisting of entrepreneurial businesses, the Colfax Business Improvement District (CBID) Board of Directors commissioned the development of this directory/map sharing the breadth of Upper Colfax shopping, dining and exploration. The Colfax BID board of directors is comprised of area business and property owners. In creating this map, the board intended to highlight neighborhood businesses and bring awareness to this growing community of entrepreneurs. In addition to supporting the businesses on Upper Colfax through awareness and business support, CBID is responsible for creating a clean and safe environment for guests and business owners. A strong partnership with District 6 Police has allowed the CBID to initiate and maintain a preventive program in order to maintain an enjoyable experience along Upper Colfax.
