Denver, CO: Why Go

Recommendations & Suggestions

Forest Room 5
2532 15th Street
Phone: 303.433.7001

This elegant, locally-owned restaurant and bar overlooks downtown Denver from the west. Relatively new to the Denver scene, it's carving a niche as a frequent host to film screenings and political forums. Sidle up to the long, classic-looking bar for a tall, cool drink, or order an appetizer to share with your friends. The panoramic view and artwork on the walls provide easy fodder for lively chats.

Rome on the Range
Downtown on U.S. 40
Phone: 970.726.1111

From the wagon-train artwork to the collection of saddles and memorabilia, the Wild West lives on at this Winter Park feedbag. The huge hardwood dance floor hosts everything from line dancing to DJ music seven nights a week, and the restaurant caters to those with a hankering for a t-bone steak chased with a microbrew beer. If it's chilly outside, warm up by the fireplace, or get a good workout by practicing your Country Western dance moves to the "Achy Breaky Heart."

Wellshire Golf Course
3333 South Colorado Boulevard
Phone: 303.757.1352

Opened in 1926, this centrally-located golf course is often hailed as one of the best public facilities in the nation. A pond, meandering creek, and groves of tall, old-growth trees keep things interesting on the 18-hole, regulation course. For less than $30, you can play on the long, grassy, and narrow fairway. It's a good course for beginners, although experienced players will enjoy it, too.
