What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?
Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited Highland Tavern in Denver, Colorado for the 2013-04-22 episode "Tacos and Tots," where the show sampled the bar's tavern tots, wings, and pork rinds.

According to the business's website (highlandtavern.com), a page last modified 2026-07-28 and carrying a 2026 copyright showed the bar listed as "Open now," with the kitchen serving until 9 p.m. and posted hours running to midnight or later on weekends.

The site's menu section also promotes daily food and drink specials alongside the tavern's classic bar fare.
The 'Amazing Appetizers' episode, which aired 2015-10-23, revisited Highland Tavern's appetizer lineup rather than filming a new segment. Guy Fieri had first visited the Denver bar in a 2013 episode titled 'Tacos and Tots,' where he sampled the tavern's pork rinds and tater tots, according to Flavortown USA. The pork rinds and the Bombshell Sammich were among the dishes that earned the tavern its spot on the show.
