What To Expect

Coors Field

Built in 1995 in the heart of downtown Denver, Coors Field is home to our beloved Rockies and a must-see stop when visiting the Mile High City.

Dairy Block

This historic block, located in downtown Denver’s LoDo neighborhood, was once home to Windsor Dairy and is now a vibrant micro-district that boasts 15 shops, 19 restaurants, seven bars, a luxury coworking space, and a 172-room boutique hotel.

Denver Union Station

Denver Union Station is the cultural hub and the “crown jewel” of the city. The addition of world-class dining, shopping, and the award-winning Crawford Hotel has revitalized and transformed Denver Union Station far beyond its humble beginnings.

Cherry Cricket

This award-winning local spot has been serving delicious burgers, Colorado green chili and local beers since 1945.

Mcgregor Square

In the heart of Lower Downtown Denver (LoDo), adjacent to Coors Field, McGregor Square spans an entire downtown block. This new development includes The Rally Hotel, residences, restaurants, retail outlets, and expansive food-hall, all circling a 17,000 square foot plaza complete with a stadium-sized LED screen.

El Chapultepec

Denver's oldest jazz club closed during the COVID-19 pandemic but still sits in a historic building near Coors Field.

LoDo

Short for Lower Downtown, LoDo is the heart and center of the Mile High City and contains some of Denver's best local restaurants and bars.

The Wynkoop

Wynkoop is Colorado’s First Brewpub. For almost three decades they have been brewing handcrafted beer in a modest basement brewery underneath Denver’s largest pool hall. Over the years the neighborhood has transformed, and Colorado’s craft beer industry has exploded.

Had a great time on this Tour! Nate was very friendly, highly entertaining and knowledgeable about the restaurant stops and Denver History! Tour was well organized, very nice pace, easy walk even on a hot day! Highly recommend! Favorite food was Lazo Empanadas (went back for more Empanadas the next day!) .. also loved the atmosphere and the margaritas at Kachina Cantina and the pizza at Marcos was delicious!

This was so worth it. The food was excellent. The restaurants were set up and the servers poured large glasses of ice water the minute we sat down. The food and drinks came quickly. If you can’t finish your alcoholic beverage, the restaurant provided to-go cups. There are bathrooms at all restaurants. Five stops, a little history, and a few glimpses of landmarks from the Rockies Stadium to Union Station. The group was congenial, and no question could stump Rob.. This ranks as one of my favorite food tours.

Nate was our tour guide and he was engaging and knowledgeable. Enjoyed all 5 of the food stops and the neighborhood walk - pizza place and empanada place were my favorites. Highly recommend! I'll take friends and family who come to visit on this tour and plan to try the cocktail oriented tours they offer too. Great way to spend an afternoon in Denver!
