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.

My husband and I were visiting family just south of Denver over Christmas. I'm a bit of a foodie, and I love checking out local restaurants in new cities. Denver wasn't new to me, but we'd never eaten at any restaurants. I was totally overwhelmed trying to find a good spot on Yelp -- there are a ton of great places in Denver because it's such a hot food scene. Thank goodness I found this tour. It introduced us to 6 great places, gave us a bit of background about the food scene, and everything was delicious. Plus, Jessica is a fantastic guide. You'll enjoy the entire experience. My husband and his family loved it all, too. I'd HIGHLY recommend the tour for anyone who likes to explore new cities via food or find new spots in Denver.

We met Jess in front of Coors Field on a very chilly Saturday afternoon in December. After our greetings and realization of our Georgia and UGA connection, we embarked on a tour of six local establishments. Each tasting was unique and unexpected. Pizza, reindeer hotdogs, pig head croquettes, goat cheese, fry bread tacos and banana/hazelnut empanadas. Some history of Denver as well! We had a wonderful time and Jess is so passionate about food and what she does. I would recommend this food tour to anyone, whether they are local, or are visiting Denver. Cheers! We will do this again!
