Boombots is that perfect mix of swagger and soul. Clean, moody, with just the right amount of flair. From intimate booths perfect for catching up and chowing down to a patio made for soaking up the Denver sun. Whether you’re a longtime local or just passing through, it’s a place to gather, connect, and eat really, really good pasta.

Chef Will Harris brings @denvermusselclub to @upnxtden at @bear_leek every Sunday in June.

Having grown up on both the East and West Coasts, @chefwillharris draws inspiration from the ingredients, flavors, and food cultures of each. His cooking emphasizes clean flavors and sustainably sourced seafood, allowing exceptional ingredients to speak for themselves.

One of my favorite bites was the Mussel Escabeche Toast. Mussels were layered over toasted @hearthdenver sourdough with melted and charred leek, pickled peppers, anchovy, and aioli.

The @seremonifish Red Snapper with rhubarb, basil, and watermelon leche de tigre tasted exactly how I imagine summer should taste: bright, refreshing, and playful.

The mussels, unsurprisingly, are complete all stars. Rather than relying on the ubiquitous PEI mussels found on many menus, Chef Will sources larger, sustainably farmed Dutch-style mussels from sixth-generation, family-owned @hollanderanddekoning in Maine, reflecting the environmental ethos at the heart of Denver Mussel Club's mission. Mussels are among the most sustainable forms of seafood production, requiring no feed inputs while naturally helping to filter and improve water quality.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Dijon Blue Mussels. Gorgonzola, sauerkraut, and a touch of cream created a broth that felt rich without becoming heavy. Thankfully, @hearthdenver bread accompanies the dish, because leaving any of that broth behind would be a mistake.

Dessert ended the meal on a sweet note with a Lemon Posset topped with toasted meringue and seafoam candy carrying notes of honey. A white chocolate ganache made with an upcycled chocolate alternative from @shinebev2bar, founded by @sandonbroto, provided a thoughtful finish that echoed the sustainability-minded approach woven throughout the menu.

Thoughtful seafood, vibrant coastal flavors, and a dining experience designed to bring people together around the table.

Sundays in June at Up NXT at BearLeek!

Some of the most important people shaping hospitality never step into the spotlight.

As the founder of @regulararchitecture and AIA Colorado’s 2025 Architect of the Year, @kevinnguyen_5280 has helped shape spaces that influence how we gather, connect, and experience food.

In Part I of our conversation, Kevin shares his perspective on the role design plays in building community, why he believes hospitality spaces matter, and what drew him to support Up NXT.

The future of dining isn’t just about what’s on the plate—it’s about the environments that make meaningful experiences possible.

Sunday, May 31st, is the last day to experience @upnxtden's @freehandprovisions restaurant takeover at @bear_leek!

Up NXT is an 8-month incubator program where emerging chefs take over the BearLeek kitchen on Sundays for month-long residencies. This month, Chef David Arnold has been bringing an intimate, seasonal tasting experience rooted in thoughtful simplicity, creative exploration, and a deep connection to local ingredients.

What began as a way for Chef David to support farms and utilize excess produce has grown into pop-ups and communal dining experiences designed to spark curiosity, invite play, and bring people together around the table.

Follow @upnxtden and reserve your seat via the link in their bio to experience Chef David Arnold’s residency!

What. A. Month.

We ran 8 different menus, had some successful disasters, made a bunch of new friends and got to share food that we love. Thank you to everyone who came out to support us, we see you and appreciate you.

A special shout out to @sandonbroto and @upnxtden for facilitating our residency at Bear Leek. It was incredible opportunity that pushed us and helped us grow.

Thanks @bear_leek @makfamdenver @hudsonhilldenver @diediedenver for trusting us with your space and always being willing to throw down. We look forward to the next one 🪩🎉

Design shapes how we gather.
And how we gather shapes everything.

We’re honored to spotlight or sponsor @regulararchitecture —a studio rethinking the role of space in hospitality, and a proud supporter of the Up NXT community.

Recently recognized as AIA Colorado’s 2025 Designer of the Year, @kevinnguyen_5280 of Regular approaches design with intention, clarity, and restraint—creating environments that holistically elevate experience.

Their work lives in the details: how light settles across a table, how a room invites conversation, how a space holds energy without forcing it. Regular architecture understands hospitality at its core—not just how a place looks, but how it feels to be engage with it.

At Up NXT, where chefs, ideas, and communities are constantly evolving, partners like Regular Architecture make it possible to create spaces that adapt, support, and inspire; Particularly when working within a Regular designed space.

This is what it means to build a scene—together.
