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.
