Everything on the menu is very tasty. It used to be a mortuary, and the owner definitely uses that for inspiration around the entire restaurant.

Half coffee shop, half bike shop. Good, simple coffee and lattes, and they have tasty options for a quick breakfast. There's also a very good bagel shop next door if you want something more than a muffin. Close to Sloan's lake if you want to take your coffee on a walk.

Parks & Nature
It's a great park with views of both downtown Denver and the mountains. The loop is a little over 2.5 miles, great for a walk or jogging.

One of Denver's speakeasies. If you are here earlier in the week, it's a great time to go. This place gets packed and has long waits on the weekend due to space. The Occidental Bar next door is good for spillover while you wait.

My favorite dive bar, also one of the oldest bars in Denver. It doesn't have a sign, but this place is one you don't want to miss. It was a hangout of Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Neal Cassady. Great deals on beers and drinks, and it has very satisfying, greasy food to munch on. Try the JCB, you won't regret it.

A Denver classic. You can bring your dog to the patio and they always have a couple of food trucks outside. Don't come here if you're shy, it's always packed and the people who go here are friendly.

The drinks are nothing super special, but the atmosphere if this bar is great. It's patio is as much as a wild life refuge as it is an outdoor seating area. There are fire pits, babbling brooks, and secluded tree-lined alcoves that make your forget you are actually in the city. They also have a giant swing upstairs.

Entertainment & Activities
It's one of the world's most iconic concert venues. If there isn't a concert during your stay, they also have movies "on the rocks" and yoga "on the rocks" for other options. It's also great to just go explore it during the day, it's open to the public if there isn't an event happening.
