Things To Do
Bull & Bush Pub & Brewery
A Denver institution dating back to the early 1970s, Bull & Bush is an English-style pub & brewery specializing in craft beer and bar-style fare. They boast one of the best whiskey selections in the state, offering pours of hard-to-find whiskeys at reasonable prices. Nana's French Onion Soup is a must-try, having been awarded for its greatness by the National Onion Association. One of Tyler's all-time favorites!
Coors Field
Coors Field is the home of the Colorado Rockies, and while the team is bad, the ballpark is absolutely beautiful! If you are coming in to town early, the Rockies will be playing the Dodgers from 6/24-6/26 and there is no better way to see MLB start Shohei Ohtani! Coors Field is located at 20th and Blake streets, in Denver's lower downtown/Ballpark Neighborhood and easily accessible driving or via the RTD light rail. If the game goes sideways, we recommend heading up to the The Rooftop for delicious beverages and good vibes!
Dos Santos
Dos Santos is one of our favorite local Mexican restaurants, specializing in craft tacos and cocktails. The spicy passion fruit margarita is our all-time favorite cocktail and is definitely worth a try!
The Whiskey Sanctuary at Laws Whiskey House
The Whiskey Sanctuary at Laws Whiskey House is a must-visit destination in Denver for both locals and visitors. The Whiskey Sanctuary boasts a striking whiskey church where distillery tours begin and a stunning cocktail lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows and sweeping mountain views. Featuring an expertly curated cocktail program, visitors can enjoy their drinks in this captivating atmosphere. Ascend a spiral staircase, designed to mimic the inside of a whiskey barrel, to reach the second-floor lounge for a truly unforgettable experience. Tours are extremely affordable and include several great pours of whiskey! Tyler recommends trying the 7 year bonded bourbon and the limited release Super Wheater (if still available).

Los Dos Potrillos is a family favorite of both Kelsey and Tyler's and offers some of the best authentic Mexican food you can find in all of Denver! Now with six locations in Centennial (the original location), Denver, Littleton (our favorite), Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, and Parker, Los Dos Potrillos provide customers in the South Metro area with "Real Mexican Food" while maintaining a family-friendly, "hole-in-the-wall" experience. The food is excellent and the margaritas are even better!

Do not be turned off by the biker bar vibes, as the Inn offers one of the most eclectic selections of food you can find anywhere in the state.

Their wings are routinely voted by Westword Magazine as "Best Wings in Denver," and the carne asada fries are top-notch!
