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. Ate plenty of good food and learned some cool facts about dinner and the diners themselves.

Austin was an excellent guide. He was knowledgeable and so much fun. He took us to 6 unique places with delicious food. We had dinner at the first location we visited that night and lunch at another spot recommended by Austin. Thank you!

Good Things: (1) Interesting dishes for both Vegetarians and Meat eaters. (2) Ended with a yummy sweet dish. (Although it was not unique by any means.) (3) Learned some fun facts about the fine art of Italian cooking! (4) Our guide Austin was very friendly, and passionate about Denver. History, architecture, and sports facts were included. Slightly Annoying Things: (1) Portion size was less then what I am used to. By the end we were full, but I felt bad for 1/2 the tour group who was not full. Typically I would expect 200-400 more calories to be offered on a food tour for the "American" sized folks. (2) One of the stops only included 1 small cheese offering. If I am getting a cheese plate, I would except a minimum of 3 very unique, high end cheese samples. (However, the 1 fine sheep cheese that was offered included a crunchy cracker topped with a sweet jam.) (3) The tour ended .5 miles from the start. That is okay, except it should be noted very clearly before booking the tour.

Thanks so much for your valuable input, Deborah! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your guide and got to learn some fun new facts. Sorry to hear the experience fell short in a few other areas. I hope we can host you again on another one of our food tours!
