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.

Lisa was great, very informative and entertaining. She took us to places we would have never visited and we tried amazing unusual foods. You must do this tour.

My wife and I decided to take an afternoon to do a food tour with Lisa, since we had heard great things about it here on TripAdvisor. We did the food tour with the drink upgrade. We visited 6 stops, with a variety of food that we wouldn't have been adventurous enough to taste on our own. Among the most unusual items were Pig's Head, and Raindeer Sausage. It was actually quite delicious! All of the restaurants we visited were over a year old and all offered excellent food. I definitely recommend this tour if you have an afternoon you wish to burn and an empty stomach!

We took the food tour with cocktails, on a Sunday afternoon. Lisa was our host, and we had a great time. The tour size is reasonable at 14 max, and the distance overall should not be bad for anyone. We stopped at 6 sites, with three having cocktails. Each site was unique and very good. We especially liked Marco's, where the owner came and spoke to us about his restaurant and pizza. Lisa did a great job leading our group, and filled in historical commentary as we walked along. We are somewhat local, but found this a fun event and we saw more of LoDo than just our usual stops.
