Neighbourhood gem

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 restaurant was closed for construction and we were not made aware before arriving. We ate our dinner in their lobby bar while listening to the beeping of machinery and loud noises of the work being done. I know they didn’t want to lose business, but they should have warned us.
The Nickel - Hotel TeatroResponded 2 days ago
Dear Kaitlin, Thank you for sharing your feedback. I sincerely apologize for the unexpected construction noise during your stay. Unfortunately, this was an unforeseen issue that was beyond our control, and I truly understand how disruptive it must have been. While I wish I could have informed you ahead of time, we did not anticipate it and I deeply regret the inconvenience it caused. We truly value your feedback and hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. When you do, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly via email—I would love to personally apologize and offer you a drink on us as a token of appreciation for your understanding. Thank you again for your patience! Warm regards, Taylor Trenda Food & Beverage General Manager

Almost 30 minutes late being seated. Only one server for at least 10 tables. In their defense - undergoing renovation so set up in lounge. But they could be much better prepared.

This is a tough one since the actual Nickel was closed and the restaurant was essentially moved into the hotel's bar. I have to tell you that sitting in the bar was much cozier and fun. The food was incredible too. I did feel like our poor waitress was a little overwhelmed, but she was still attentive and very good.

The food was great and the ambiance wonderful. The service was a touch slow and, for being so close to the performing arts complex, they didn’t seem concerned if we had show tickets or not. Plus, the actual restaurant was under remodel so we ate in the hotel lobby, which was lovely and cozy, but it would have been nice to know ahead of time the adjustment. All in all a lovely experience and good food.
