Catira is a Venezuelan kitchen and cocktail bar in Greenwood Village blending the warmth of Caribbean hospitality with the energy of a casual house party. Founded by husband-and-wife team Manuel and Clare, the restaurant brings a taste of Venezuela to the Denver Tech Center with dishes that celebrate fresh, bold flavor—think juicy meats, creamy garlic sauce, ripe avocado and plenty of cheese. Traditional arepas like the Clásica—including shredded beef, white cheese, sweet plantains and black bean mash—are a hit here. The space is stylish yet unpretentious, filled with colorful art, vintage touches and upbeat Latin rhythms that set the tone for connection. Guests come to linger over tropical cocktails and share plates that feel both comforting and adventurous. Catira isn’t just a meal—it’s a lively, welcoming experience that feels like being invited into someone’s home for the night.
