For the first time in 25 years, Denver Public School teachers have gone on strike, negotiating for fair pay and a revamped salary structure. Now, three days in, a slew of Mile High City eateries have come out in support of our educators, with deals ranging from free meals to steeply discounted tabs—after all, picketing in the cold is sure to work up an appetite. All promotions, unless otherwise noted, require a valid teacher’s I.D. and do not include gratuity. We will update this list as the strike continues.

Avanti Food & Beverage
3200 Pecos St.
Teachers and their families may visit this collective eatery, home to seven globally-inspired eateries and a full bar, and receive 50 percent off their bar tab.

Pizzeria Della Strada.
