Thai tapas and wine bar · $$
Den Thai
Thai small plates and wine pairings a block from the ballpark
A newer Thai room on Market at 22nd running the tapas format: small plates built for sharing, from street-food staples to chef-driven dishes, paired with wine rather than the usual lager. The executive chef is Jay Anderson. It works as a lounge as much as a restaurant, with a full bar and a cocktail list, and it stays open to 10pm on weekdays and 11:30pm on Friday and Saturday. Reservations are taken, which is worth using on a home game night given how close the gates are.
Why go. Thai food and a wine list in the same sentence, one block off Coors Field.
It is a block from the ballpark, so book ahead on a game night or you will not get a table.
