Located within Denver’s historic Tramway Building, originally opened in 1911, The Nickel pays homage to the space that was once used to collect fare from customers riding its resident streetcars: a nickel. Just as the building in which The Nickel is housed has a storied past, the dishes found on the menu at The Nickel all have a story. We proudly serve menus that incorporate the highest quality ingredients from farmers, ranchers, distillers and craft producers, and is comprised of dishes that are easily recognizable and feel simple, but eat complex.

Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Nickel at Hotel Teatro offers a "delightful atmosphere" and "outstanding food, wine, service, and atmosphere." Known for its proximity to the DCPA, it provides a convenient pre-theater dining option. While the menu is somewhat limited, the "excellent" service and unique dishes like the Eggplant Mushroom dish and Colorado Benedict stand out. Despite some mixed reviews regarding portion size and consistency, many patrons praise it as a "true hidden Denver gem."

    The food is very good, the service is great, the ambiance is good and restrained, and it's very close to the performing arts center.

    We've gone to the Nickel a few times over the past few years and always enjoyed it. This trip was the least fulfilling. We were celebrating my wife's birthday before a show at DCPA and the food and service were definitely down a level from our past visits. My wife's mushroom risotto was past firm to the point of mushy and when she ordered a martini, she was told they were out of martini glasses so it came in a white wine glass. Other dishes were still good, but overall we were found this visit disappointing.

    This was a tough evening. Kitchen was backed up. Service was overwhelmed. They over seated the dining room on the Sat after Thanksgiving and people were all stuck waiting over 45 minutes for basics. 2 out of 3 of our entrees were great. The 3rd was poorly done and overpriced. I have dined here many times and this night was painful. When the disappointment on the bad entree was communicated after a very long wait, nothing was offered. I hope they make corrections.

    Great brunch! The Colorado Benedict, Burgers, and Duck Confit Salad were amazing. Perfectly balanced Bloodies and a spot-on espresso martini. 10/10

    Service was amazing. We loved our server. We went for Thanksgiving meal. The turkey was essentially a cold, cut loaf. It wasn’t a traditional turkey which was really disappointing. The portions were really big and we have plenty to eat. It just wasn’t the best quality of food.
