Go for a hike on a surrounding trail, check out the visitor center, run the stairs, or just enjoy the view of downtown on a clear day.
Free brewery tour! Love them or hate them, it is an interesting tour from a mass quantity perspective. You get two free beers at the end. Coors is in Golden, which is where Austin goes to school. You can easily make a day out of visiting this town with hiking, lunch, and a brewery tour. The light rail does come down Golden.
Grab a coffee and scone and get lost in the stacks.
They've completely redone Union Station. With a bar, bookstore, ice cream, restaurants, and boutique stores you could easily spend an afternoon here.
Better than Blue Bell. We swear.
Especially cool at night. Several restaurants and shops. Rioja, in the square, was where Austin took Mackenzie for the first Denver Birthday Dinner!
Begins November 3. Based on the popular event from Paris, the tenth annual Denver Arts Week is an eight-day celebration of all things art in The Mile High City, during which many of the city's top museums, art galleries, theaters and concerts halls offer free or discounted admission. Free shuttle buses make it easy to hop from venue to venue. In addition to free or discounted admission, many venues offer special music, dance and other performances throughout the week.
Free Museum Day on Nov 4?! What a coincidence! Visit the museum in the morning before getting ready for the wedding.
Schedule a tour in advance. Stand at a mile above sea level on the steps. Vegetarians (or not) grab lunch at City O' City around the corner.
Tickets start at $17.
Take a tour of one of our go-to breweries! Their taproom is open for walk-ins. Grab a yeti imperial stout to warm up.
We've probably made you go to the 1up already if you've visited. It is a fun arcade bar in LoDo neighborhood where Austin frequently beats Mackenzie in Pacman and Mackenzie beats Austin at Tekken. Get a PBR tallboy a mystery shot.
Food court with several local restaurants and a bar in the LoHi area. One of the best views of downtown with a huge heated patio.
The brewery that opened in our neighborhood a few months after we moved! Attached to a pizza/taco restaurant. Our favorite? If it's on tap- the Lobsterback IPA. If not, the CTA IPA
We've spent an unfortunate amount of money at this pizza place/beer heaven.
Many claim Snooze as a "must do" in Denver. Expect a wait, but the specialty pancakes are worth it!
Go to the third floor pool hall and enjoy a beer made in-house.
While pretty touristy, it's a great spot if you want to do some shopping or people watch.
Our favorite? Blackberry Saison- Cougar Slayer
Our favorite? "Dear You" Saison
Our first dinner when we moved to Denver. Veggie heavy fresh food in a remodeled gas station.

Get the graham cracker porter
Swanky speakeasy in LoHi with cocktails. Put your name down here and go next door to The Occidental for a snack.
Ramen! Buns! All good.
Restaurant that focuses on street food from different places in the world. Housed in a previously occupied Mortuary!
This whole 17th street is great. Get the Brussels Sprouts
Outrageous biscuits by morning. Cheap pizza by night. Happy hour beers until 6pm.
Want a sandwich for breakfast or lunch?? These are excellent.
Patio with fire pits and lots of lawn games.
As very dedicated cheese-fry connoisseurs, we can verify these are the best cheese fries in town. They do a great job with standard American fare and a couple of in-house beers. CASH ONLY
