About the best sandwiches in Denver
The SubCulture Story
SubCulture was born from a love of traditional flavors and a passion for culinary excellence. Founded by Mike and Boel, we have been crafting unique sub experiences for the Denver community since our inception. Nestled in the historic Penn Garage in Capitol Hill, our restaurant has been serving delicious subs made with hand-selected ingredients and fresh daily-baked bread for years.
After relocating to Colorado in 2007, Mike and Boel envisioned a chef-driven restaurant with a menu that would stand out in the Denver food scene. Boel, who hails from Sweden and brings with her a rich background in French cooking, spent a decade honing her skills in London’s vibrant food scene, including at Michelin-starred venues. Mike and Boel met in Miami, Mike, a seasoned restaurateur. Together, they moved to Colorado and discovered the iconic Penn Garage. This location, steeped in history as it once serviced cars for over seven decades, including Molly Brown’s electric car. The converted garage became the home for Sub Culture.

We are dedicated to using the freshest ingredients prepared daily, City Bakery, a local artisan bakery is delivering warm bread every day — fresh out of the oven. Our commitment to sustainability is also evident, as we operate with 120% offset by electric solar use.

We strive to support the vegetarian and vegan community in Denver by providing delicious alternatives alongside our traditional meat-based offerings.

Bee May10/09/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sandwich selection is amazing, quality meats and cheeses. House made sauces. You can easily spend twenty dollars per person per meal, but portions are big. They do a lot of pickup orders, especially during lunch. Arguably the best sub sandwich in the area. Beer and adult beverages also available.😁 Gage Mullins11/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Portions for what you pay here are great!

I’m a fan Jay Maudlin24/07/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I quickly learned to ask for Extra Sauce on the sandwich, as they are incredibly dry by default. Menu is maybe a little huge, they could probably benefit from narrowing it down, but otherwise not a bad spot! The Cubano with extra sauce is very tasty.
