Located in the heart of the Mile High City, ELWAY’S Downtown is the ideal setting for any occasion. Celebrate a birthday or anniversary, entertain business associates or meet friends for cocktails. You can always enjoy an outstanding meal served with genuine hospitality in an environment that is uniquely Colorado.
Our menu boasts USDA Prime, hand-cut steaks, Colorado Lamb, raw bar selections with fine fish, crustaceans and much more. You’ll always find something new at ELWAY’S Downtown – including a new lounge and outdoor patio. Our menu changes to match market availability, ensuring you the finest and freshest dining selections.
ELWAY’S Downtown emerged from a mixture of good friends, good food and the belief that Coloradoans are looking for – and deserve – more from a dining experience.
Longtime friends John Elway and Tim Schmidt envisioned a place where friends, families and business professionals could celebrate life’s victories, or just unwind at the end of a busy day. Where an ever-changing menu offered the best of the best, accompanied by a fabulous wine list. All delivered in a contemporary atmosphere much like Colorado itself – adventurous, fun and always alive.
On January 11, 2008, two sterling brands ELWAY’S and The Ritz-Carlton joined forces to bring to life a new location in the heart of downtown. We invite you to enjoy ELWAY’S Downtown and the best of Colorado.
