The Chophouse is located in the old train station right across the street from Coors Field. This place reeks of old money and quality. The food is excellent, and the chance of running into a local sports celebrity is good. Despite its reputation for hosting the after-parties of Denver's major leagure sports team's victories (NHL's Avalanche!) this isn't a sports bar in the traditional sense. This is fine dining, "Western-Style". The Chophouse makes no apologies for the large brewing kettles, the old-fashioned newspaper clippings of sports teams or the menu that features, almost exclusively, meat.
Nor should it, because while it is old-fashioned in many ways it holds onto the quaint notion of quality. The service has always been excellent. One time my date's mushroom escaped from his plate, skidded across my lap and into the walkway. Before we could recover our dignity a waiter had removed the offending mushroom and brought a side plate of new ones.
Everything I've tried on the menu has been excellent. This is definately a wonderful place for a fancy night out.
