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.

I loved this food tour! The restaurants seem to be carefully selected to offer history, variety and quality! I listened, I learned and I ATE! You will not come away hungry. We had a great group of people in our tour who where there to enjoy and have a good time, which enhanced the whole experience for everyone. I definintely recommend asking for Austin Shrader. He was knowledgeable, personable and a great host of our tour. I would go on any of Delicious Denver Food Tours with him. He knows his stuff and goes the extra mile to make the experience enjoyable! Don't hestitate to book this one.

This is a wonderful tour and so much more that just tasting. You learn a lot about each place and the city too. When you book your tour ask for Chris Iacono as your guide. He was awesome!

My husband and I went on the Downtown Denver Food Tour in RiNo and had a blast!! Not only did we experience different foods from different genres and cultures (and food changes were made for my overly picky husband), but we got to see a really interesting part of the city! We had no other plans in the area and we would have missed out on some pretty amazing street art if we didn't do the tour. We loved the expertise, amazing hospitality and insightful knowledge that Austin shared. He made sure we had water at every stop, that everyone was comfortable, and shared some really awesome facts about the food and the city itself. You can tell he really has passion for what he does. I also think that the beer part is worth it. We had the option to add on beer tastings and because we don't love beer, we didn't do it, but the people on the tour with us got huge glasses full of beer and a unique tasting of meade at our last spot. Do this tour!! I kinda wish we had done it twice! Lol,
