scratch kitchen / friendly atmosphere / tasty drinks
Welcome! The 49th is a neighborhood restaurant and bar inspired by my upbringing in Alaska. Long, cozy winters, short, daylight filled summers, & a sense of adventure best describe the 49th state and we aim to recreate that rugged & carefree spirit here in Colorado. Swing by with old friends, make some new ones, and enjoy Alaskan inspired food & drinks in a friendly & casual neighborhood setting at our original Denver location on Kipling, or our new Littleton location on Santa Fe!
Cheers, Josh
