About the restaurant

Satchel's on 6th.

Named after the owner’s youngest son, Satchel’s on 6th is the place to eat and drink. Our Chef has created a contemporary, eclectic, New American neighborhood menu using seasonal ingredients that results in refined flavors and inspired plates. We've put our heart and soul into this place and it gives us great pleasure to serve you.
Warm wood tones and exposed brick highlight this cozy, 50 seat space that has made its home on East Denver reinvigorated 6th Avenue. Says Casalini, Our goal is to become the best go-to, indispensable restaurant in the neighborhood. Period. End of story.

I wanted to come back to this place before we even tasted our food! Best description on the menu, amazing server, and the Sommelier even visited our table, but I got their amazing diva martini. A nice martini with a touch of sweetness perfect. Planning on a "Skin Contact" bottle on our Next visit.
