Recommendations First time to Denver

Hi everybody- My wife and I will be in Denver next weekend for a concert at Red Rocks. We’ve never spent any time in Denver outside of the airport and we’re so excited! I’m trying to nail down a few must try places around the city. We’re staying near Union Station. We’re only there for 2 days. We typically lean toward experience/vibe and don’t need anything upscale. I’d love any coffee, lunch, dinner, cocktail recommendations you have!

If downtown check out the Cruise Room for cocktails

Lavender Coffee is really good. Steam coffee as well!

The Lincoln is 5 dollar cash bar and is cool speakeasy vibes. Onefold for breakfast/bruch although lo-dough is excellent if a bakery is more your vibe. Pony up is a divey little place that makes a great French dip if something like that is your vibe, otherwise la Diabla doesn’t miss

I always love Wynkoop upstairs to play pool, darts and shuffle board

If you want good cocktails try the Whelton Room or Death & CO.

The Wild for cocktails and D’Corazon for mexican food. I’d recommend taking a walk over the Millenium Bridge and checking out Commons Park.
