A new tapas bar and Japanese spot, offering barbecue and more, has opened up shop in the neighborhood. Located at 1998 18th St. in lower Dowtown, the fresh addition is called Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ.

Select barbecue from Gyu-Kaku’s à la carte and course menus. Finish the meal with dessert. Look for the kobe-style kalbi short rib, marinated in tare sweet soy or salt and pepper — it’s served with premium gluten-free dipping sauce. There’s also choices like the spicy kalbi bibimbap, with kalbi beef, garlic, bell peppers, shishito peppers, corn, sesame seeds, green onions and spicy barbecue gochujang sauce.

With a five-star rating out of five reviews on Yelp so far, the new tapas bar is on its way to developing a local fan base.

Kieu P., who was the first Yelper to review the new spot on March 20, wrote, “Japanese barbecue in Denver? We are so excited to see the food scene expanding here! We had to try the Harami special pot and beef tongue with scallions.”

Yelper Andrew Y. added, “It’s an awesome addition to the neighborhood. ... We ordered the Gyu-Kaku for two people and it was perfect. The food was outstanding. The Harami skirt steak was bomb. They [also] serve ice cold beer in a frosty mug. “

Gyu-Kaku Japanese BBQ has yet to post its hours online.

Morning glory.

A night out on the town calls for a serious morning pick-me-up, and a freshly brewed cup of coffee is just the ticket. Get the perfect grind with the Krups Auto-Dose Grinder, offering 39 grind sizes for use in espresso, pour-over, cold brew and more. Pro tip: grind right before you brew for the freshest coffee flavors around.
