The Rocky Mountain Diner was founded in 1990 in the historic Ghost Building at 18th & Stout. The Ghost building was designed by Denver architect William Lang in the 1880's for A.M. Ghost. It used to stand at 14th and Glenarm across from the Public Service Building. It was dismantled in 1974 and then reconstructed ten years later using the original sandstone façade on the corner of 18th and Stout. The Ghost is probably the last surviving commercial structure designed by Lang who was a very influential architect in Denver during that last part of the 1800's. Lang and his partner Marshall Pugh were also responsible for many houses in Capital Hill and Berkeley areas. It is surmised that he designed the Molly Brown House, the Castle Marne and St. Marks's Church at 12th & Lincoln. Built in 1890, St. Mark's now houses a nightclub appropriately called, "The Church".

The "Diner" has been serving up heaping portions of homemade food since 1990. We pride ourselves on the care we take with everything on the menu. We have one of the largest selections of Bourbon in Denver, five brews on tap, a moderately priced wine list and a full service bar.

Imagine walking into a diner a hundred years ago. This is what we think it might have looked like back then and we hope that you enjoy your visit.
