The Populist

"The Populist Brewery Turkey isn’t known for its beer, with most menus dominated by the serviceable yet flavorless Efes. The craft beer movement has been gratefully welcomed (especially by expats), and a few breweries have popped up in Istanbul in recent years. The Populist brewery is part ofBomontiada,a massive complex of art and performance spaces, shops, restaurants, and nightlife on the site of the former Bomonti Beer Factory, which closed in the 1950s and was abandoned for several decades. Populist’s food menu is standard pub fare, with a few surprises like a lamb burger with Carolina mustard sauce and a flatbread pizza with kokoreç (better-than-it-sounds grilled lamb intestines). The rotating selection of 12 beers on tap might include aBelgian Turkish wheat with anise and a hoppy IPA. To reach Bomontiada, take the metro to Osmanbey, and from there it’s a 10- to 15-minute walk through a historically diverse and rapidly changing neighborhood."

Where To Dine and Drink Outside This Season in Denver | Eater Denver

"This cozy RiNo eatery was built off owners’ — Jonathan Power, Noah Price, and Cliff White — deep-rooted value of community, as noted by the ambient patio space featuring several large communal tables against its recognizable ivy-grown wall. With a menu featuring elevated yet approachable drink and fare — think lesser-known winemakers and plates like roasted kabocha squash, Colorado grass-fed burgers, and gem lettuce salads, it’s a great spot to grab a group of friends and head for a night of shared plates and drinks." - Nisa Sedaghat
