Highlights
- Five Points - We will start in 5 points which was once considered the Harlem of the west and heart of the African American community in Denver.
- Dairy Block - Located in the heart of downtown Denver’s LoDo neighborhood, the vibrant Dairy Block micro-district is home to dozens of restaurants, bars and retailers, along with a modern co-working space and the independent Maven Hotel. Originally home to the historic Windsor Dairy, the award-winning Dairy Block is a renowned Mile High City destination for shopping, dining and drinking. Dairy Block hosts a robust schedule of community events in the pedestrian Alley – including local live music, art shows and makers markets – establishing it as a favorite Denver playground for tastemakers, fun seekers and seasoned regulars.
- Union Station - Denver Union Station has served as the heart of our vibrant city for more than a hundred years. Opened in 1881 as the Denver Union Depot — the tallest building in the West at the time — it was consumed by a fire in 1894 and quickly rebuilt. Denver Union Station is a vibrant destination for gathering, dining, imbibing, shopping, traveling, and sleeping in luxury at The Crawford Hotel. It was rebuilt in 1914, and revitalized 100 years later in 2014, the Station is at once a preserved monument to the city’s past, a celebrated place maker of today, and a visionary beacon for Denver’s future.
- Coors Field - We will stop by Coors Field which is the ballpark of Major League Baseball’s Colorado Rockies. Opened in 1995, the park is located in Denver’s Lower Downtown neighborhood, two blocks from Union Station. The stadium has a capacity of 50,144 people and was part of the renovation of lower downtown in the 90s until today.
- Larimer Square - The oldest commercial block in the city, the Larimer Square was originally laid out by William E Larimer in 1858. It served as the city’s main business area for years, but by the 1900s, it had deteriorated into a run-down area. In 1965, Larimer Square Associates began restoring it as a historical and commercial centre.
- Confluence Park - Placid riverside park featuring benches, grassy lawns, biking & walking trails, plus a kayak run. This is where the Cherry Creek and Platte river meet in downtown Denver.
- RiNo Art District - Nicknamed “RiNo,” the trendy River North Art District features contemporary art galleries and hip concert venues in revamped industrial buildings. Food halls include Denver Central Market and The Source, a buzzy indoor venue with eclectic products and a bar for small plates and craft beer. Known for its colorful murals, Upper Larimer Street also has cocktail lounges, brewpubs with patios and late-night food trucks. In this area we will stop at 2 to 4 breweries/cocktail bars depending on the group and check out some of the best murals in the area.
- The Denver Central Market - The Denver Central Market is a gourmet marketplace and food hall. We house a variety of local vendors, including a bakery, coffee shop, fish market, butcher, rotisserie, chocolate shop, ice cream, wood-fired pizza, salad, and sandwiches. We also have an outstanding bar, serving cocktails, beer, and wine. This is a great place to grab so food or a drink.
- Our Mutual Friend Malt & Brew - Varied beers brewed & served on draft at a hip facility with art-covered walls, a store & a patio.
