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.

The food tour was excellent and helped me get the lay of the land at the beginning of my trip. We met at Marco’s Coal Fired where we had a slice of margherita pizza, it was delicious. We then walked over to Lazo Empanada, at this location we got to sample the ground beef empanada and it was very flavorful, one of the ingredients was raisins and it reminded me of sweet corn. The third location we walked to was my absolute favorite, Biker Jim’s. At Biker Jim’s I got to try elk sausage for the very first time and it was tasty, definitely a new favorite. The last location we sampled food at was a restaurant called Kachina. I personally was not a fan of the replacement of the tortilla in this dish but it was not bad, I just prefer to have my tacos with tortillas. Overall, the tour guide, Barry, made this trip very memorable, he was very informative and made funny jokes throughout his time speaking with us.
