About Us
What is EatDenver?
EatDenver is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit membership organization that connects and empowers our regional independent food and beverage community.
Our work includes hosting monthly industry education programs and facilitating opportunities for professional development, fostering collaboration within the industry through a digital membership platform and networking events, marketing independent restaurants through headline events and social media, and advocating on a local and statewide scale for the needs and values of an inclusive and equitable food and beverage community.
Since 2008, our membership has grown to over 300 locally owned, regional restaurants, bars, coffee shops, breweries, bakeries, food trucks, and food hall stalls.
Guided by a belief that a rising tide lifts all boats, the foundation of our organization is in fostering collaboration between food and beverage owners, chefs, managers, and staff.
“Things like communication and education are the easy-to-describe mechanics of EatDenver that work so well. What's really important is the collaboration. Restaurateurs who compete tooth and nail for business come together to share their knowledge. The result is remarkable.”
