Church and Union Denver

Located next to the historic Union Station in Downtown Denver, Church and Union Denver blends seamlessly into its surroundings, creating the impression that the restaurant has always been a part of the neighborhood, despite being extensively renovated. The team transformed a previously underutilized space into a distinctive two-story restaurant, featuring a basement-level kitchen, new stairs, and expanded public areas.

The art-filled interior highlights the full text of The Art of War across the ceiling, the signature $5 bill painting, the classic Buffalo piece found in every Church and Union, and various nods to Denver throughout the space. A ceremonial staircase leading downstairs serves as a prominent design feature. Glass along the front of the restaurant beautifully complements the thick walnut flooring and natural historic red brick that fill the interiors, creating a vibrant yet timeless atmosphere. This blend of historic charm and modern American cuisine makes the space a unique dining experience.
