There’s so much to do in Denver, you should definitely extend your 360|AnDev visit!
This is by no means a complete list, but just a sample of what Denver has to offer.
July 28-31, the Underground Music Showcase by the Denver Post takes place. GREAT small venue music shows all over a few square blocks. A short Lyft, or medium walk from the hotel.
Mountains. It’s not ski season, but the hiking is awesome, and you can be in the mountains in about an hour and a half
Fresh Craft – fun menu with a wide varity of beers on tap, weekly changing craft cocktail menu
Wynkoop Brewery – once owned by the current Governor of Colorado, great beer
Illegal Petes – Big Burritos ala some of your more well known… but the difference here is that they support local and touring musicians have a record label and are probably the nicest guys around… here is there current schedule for July events
Eculid Hall – beer hall and dining in a long time Denver Historic Building. One of Denver’s premier chefs is partner in the restaurant along with Rioja, Bistro Vendome that are also in the area.
Places to (mostly) just drink
Union Station and Terminal Bar – Denver’s rail station is reinvigorated into a hotel space, restauarant hub and open space. Mercantile is a great place for breakfast and there is a Snooze in the building (long waits for pancakes…. but fancy and delicious pancakes)
Marios Double Daughters Salotto – a funky bar based on a story… ecclictic atmosphere and drink menus… goth nights and comedy nights sometimes thrown in the mix through the week… if you get hungry you can get a slice of pizza at Marios Two Fisted Pizza right next door (until late in the evening/morning)
Places to Shop
Pavillions – national retailers with some small local stores, dining and movies are also available
Tattered Cover – bookstore (not as great as she used to be, it’s only one floor now but they have a VERY diverse magazine selection)
Rockmount – home of the original western snap shirt… pricey but a peice of nostalgia and long wearing
