Things To Do
River North Art District ("RiNo")
The best neighborhood to walk around! Home to a plethora of shops, restaurants, breweries, galleries, and street art.
Union Station
Classic eateries, bars, and shops in a stately train station from 1881. Great area to walk around - would recommend walking over to McGregor Square from here!
Odell Brewing Sloan's Lake Brewhouse & Pizzeria
A great spot in our neighborhood for lunch and a walk around the lake!
Don's Club Tavern
Best dive bar in Denver - short drive from the Halcyon.
New Terrain Brewing Company
Get a little closer to the mountains at our favorite spot in Golden.
Red Rocks Park and Amphitheatre
Check out the amphitheater and the Colorado Music Hall of Fame, free and open to the public in the morning. The amphitheater may close early for an event, but you can walk or hike the surrounding trails at any time. The 1.4 mile Trading Post Trail begins and ends at the Trading Post and travels through spectacular rock formations, valleys, and a meadow. Some of the terrain is rough and the majority of the trail is less than 30 inches wide. The Red Rocks Trail starts at the park’s lower north lot as a hiker-only trail and connects to the multi-use Red Rocks and Dakota Ridge trails in Jefferson County’s Matthews/Winters Park, creating a great 6 mile loop.
Safta
Our favorite restaurant in Denver. Great for brunch and dinner! It would be worth staying an extra night just for Safta.
Zaidy's Deli & Bakery
Great Jewish deli near Cherry Creek!
Sam's No. 3
Classic dinner downtown Denver, previously featured in Diner's, Drive-Ins, and Dives! One of Rob Skirboll's favorites. Warning: Burritos are the size of your head.
Larimer Square
Cute pedestrian only block in downtown Denver!
Hillstone
Great upscale restaurant around the corner from the Halcyon
