The Fort Restaurant

The Fort is located just Southwest Denver, just 2 miles south of Morrison, Colorado, in “Red Rocks” Country. It’s a beautiful drive into our foothills, just off Highway 285 and Highway 8. It’s only a 10-25 minute drive from most neighborhoods in and surrounding Denver.

The Fort is a full scale adobe replica of a famous 19th century fur trading fort. Our menu is inspired by the Trappers, traders and American Indian recipes of that era, and we’re known as “New Foods of the Old West”. The Fort sells more buffalo entrees than any other independent restaurant, and is known for our game meats, seafood, vegetarian options,  and home made desserts. The Fort has an extensive wine selection and has earned the Wine Spectator Award each year for over ten years.
