Ghia in Denver, CO

Beckon is a Michelin-starred, 18-seat chef's counter in Denver's RiNo neighborhood, opened in 2018 by executive chef Duncan Holmes (a James Beard Award semifinalist) and Allison Holmes. Diners sit facing the open kitchen for a multi-course, reservation-only seasonal tasting menu that changes quarterly. Beyond the wine list, Beckon runs a genuine course-by-course zero-proof pairing — the "From the Garden" flight — overseen as part of its formal "Cocktail & Zero Proof Program," designed to track the food rather than serve as an afterthought. Named non-alcoholic options on the beverage menu include First Ascent (passion fruit, almond, ginger beer) and Starry Maid (flowering coriander, hibiscus, Seedlip Grove 42, Ghia N/A aperitivo, lime, faba), plus a non-alcoholic pilsner from Untitled Art. It's a fine-dining counter rather than a walk-in bar; reservations via Tock.
