Denver: Long Weekend Edition

Within a block of 16th street pedestrian mall, and walking distance of Larimer Square and the Rockies stadium, this hotel is convieniently located. The reservation also includes free breakfast and kitchenette to reheat any leftovers you may have while dining out on the town!

Looking for a fancier stay? This hotel features great city views and has an outdoor pool. The bar and surrounding lounge area are great for hanging out and further with this restaraunt being connected to the YardHouse, food is served until late into the night.

A classic brunch spot with multiple locations!

The famous Denver Biscuit Co lives up to the hype! A great breakfast stop with a couple locations around Denver.

An old school diner featured on food network’s Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives, this is a must stop for breakfast! With gigantic portions and classic breakfast choices you can’t go wrong.

My absolute favorite restaurant in Denver and also a top 5 overall favorite restaraunt. This tapas style restaraunt takes influences from Morocco and Spain and boasts both city and Mountain views. When calling to make the reservation I absolutely recommend requesting to sit at the chef’s table if you are a party of 2. The menu changes seasonally and everything is a 10/10 in my book.

Who doesn’t love a little history? This mortuary turned bar is located right next to El Five and the perfect stop for appetizers or post dinner drinks with a converted van serving as a drink station.

Ice cream served out of a giant milk tin! What else do I need to stay?

A speakeasy fronting as a book store, this is the perfect place to stop for drinks curated just for you! Pick something of their custom menu or have the bartenders create a drink based on your preferences. A very fun stop!

Stop for a drink which you’ll pick from the menu on a deck of cards!

Not only does this place have a wide variety of blue moon beers, the menu is also great! Grab a came and hang inside or outdoor on the patio.

Catch a Rockies game from the rooftop bar!

Food and beer hall with indoor and outdoor space.

Cute area with shops, restaurants, and often times fun events in the weekends!

Did you know that “take me out to the ballgame” was written from a woman’s perspective? Neither did I until we visited this museum. While small and maybe a bit unorganized, a cool place to check out if you have 30 min - hour available.

Nothing can describe this experience other than it’s something you need to see for yourself. Make ticket reservations in advance!

If you can’t catch a concert on your trip, you can still visit red rocks for hiking, a yoga class, or movies on a projector!

~1 hour outside of Denver, this beginner level hike reaches a lake and glacier at the top! Parking can be tricky so it’s recommended to get there earlier in the morning. Stop in Idaho Springs for lunch on your way back!

After strolling around downtown, stop at Beau Jo’s for some Colorado-style pizza!

Perfect beginners hike up to the flat irons!

Roughly 30 min from Denver, check out this cute downtown for breweries (one that exclusively plays bad shark movies) and restaraunts!
