Denver's breweries and bars have a lot to offer! Check out the descriptions below to find a few locations that stand out to you or put together your own bar crawl. If you are looking for a street to do a DIY, safe, and walkable beer crawl, I highly recommend RiNo and sticking to bars and breweries on Larimer. I would not venture too far past the beaten path on Larimer (between 25th and 35th).
