I love Coops. Whenever we are trying to pick a place downtown, that's the one place everyone in our family can agree on. The chicken & Brie sandwich is delish, the pizzas are great, the spinach artichoke dip is the best in town and the seasonal beers (the watermelon beer in summer is to die for!) are super tasty. My husband always gets the Punjabi beer, every.single.time.

Thai Pepper never ever disappoints. Still my favorite Thai resto in town, great service and amazing food! Kudos, they play Jazz music which makes dining experience that much relaxing. :)
Must try: Chicken Curry, Pad Thai and Penang Chicken.

Woah, the Colorado Room was an awesome place to stop for lunch and exceeded my expectations. They serve sliders on hawaiian-esque rolls and have tons of variations. I like this approach of small sandwiches because it means I can try more options. I got the buffalo chicken slider, cheesesteak slider, and banh mi slider. They were all so good!

The food here is amazing. Start yourself off with a 415 signature drink, you won't regret it. It's their take on a Moscow mule. The bacon Mac and cheese is a must try, delicious baked Mac and cheese with thick cut bacon on top! They have a great selection of gourmet pizzas with a variety of toppings. It would also be a good place for vegetarians because they have a ton of options.

Probably the coolest coffee shop I've ever been to. The vibe is very homey, there are guitars that anyone can play, board games everywhere, all with great coffee and food. Definitely somewhere you have to stop by if you're in Fort Collins.

This review is long overdue. I can't say enough great things about Odell. The staff is amazing. You can tell that they truly enjoy their job. I've never come in contact with an Odell employee that wasn't extremely jubilant.
They always have top-notch beers that obviously have a lot of time and effort put into their creation. The taproom has a great variety for selection.
Food trucks, live music, huge patio, dog-friendly, amazing service, awesome beer - doesn't get any better.

This is a great lounge! The service is great and the entertainment was fantastic. The decor is pretty mid-century modern and really cool. The atmo is classy but not up tight. Great place to spend and evening.

Lory State Park is a great "quick" getaway from Fort Collins. It's close enough where you can bike to it (if you feel like you can handle some hills), otherwise it is but a short 15 minute drive from downtown Fort Collins.
Horseback riding, mountain biking, hiking, trail jogging, pretty much anything and everything you would want to do outdoors is available here. Some beautiful views from Athur's Rock feature Horsetooth Reservoir, Fort Collins, and Loveland.

Waterfalls, music, benches to sit in the sun & different restaurants to choose from. One of the nicest outdoor shopping areas I have ever been to. & very dog-friendly

This is a nice old building filled with revolving art displays from local artists. I saw the Natural Shift exhibit which featured things that you would find in nature, such as tree branches and other stuff mixed with man made items such as zip ties and fabric to create unique pieces of art. If you're in the down town Fort Collins area, this small but interesting place should not be missed.

Essentials
Last strong hold of the 'local' grocery stores. So fortunate I live within walking and biking distance from this gem. I love their large variety of Made in Colorado products. I can walk in grab my items and be out in a few mins, normally the time it would take my to drive around and just find a parking spot at the big chains. It always puts a smile on my face to see the dogs outside waiting for their owners, who are shopping inside.
