Late-night eateries in Denver aren’t gone for good 🌮
When the pandemic hit, restaurants struggled to retain staff amongst multiple mandated closures, especially late-night spots, as kitchen employees moved on to find more flexible hours. Many local, old-school diners serving breakfast 24/7, likeJerusalem Restaurant, near the University of Denver, at 1890 E. Evans Ave., has been serving falafels and gyros till the wee hours since it opened 45 years ago. But after the pandemic, the restaurant had to reel back its closing time from 5 a.m. to 3 a.m.
“The pandemic put a halt on finding servers willing to work those late-night hours,” said Jerusalem Restaurant co-owner Reema Wahdan. “It was easy to find them before, but now we’re even having a hard time just even pushing our hours until 3 a.m. Bars closed down early as well, which impacted our late-night business, but we’re seeing an uptick as they’ve come back in full force.”
1890 E. Evans Ave., Denver; Open 8 to 12 a.m. Sunday through Wednesday and until 3 a.m. Thursday through Saturday;Tacos Rapidos is ol’ reliable. The Mexican fast-food spot has two 24/7 locations and one on South Federal open until 3:30 a.m. on the weekends. Whether you’re craving dinner or breakfast late at night, the drive-throughs offer breakfast burritos, carne asada fries, tacos and burritos all day long.
