Denver, CO: Why Go
Far from the cow-town persona of its past, the Mile High City of today juggles cosmopolitan flair with down-to-earth charm, so you can enjoy haute cuisine along with a cold microbrew after hitting the
Editor's favorite watering hole: The Mexican food at Rio's is good, but the margaritas are to die for! It's a known fact that you can only drink up to three, or else you won't even be able to stumble out the door.
Local tipple: Coors Light is the drink of choice (it is brewed in the Rockies), but the many microbrews around town are a close second (and are our personal favorites). Take the short tour at the Coors Brewery and get straight to the samples.
Get your game on: "Rock Pile" tickets for bleacher seats at Coors Field are only $4, which is almost as good as free.
Did we mention it's free? Red Rocks Park is located at 6,200 feet above sea level and has countless trails. Its naturally formed, open-air amphitheater is considered the eighth world wonder.
Good to know: Although Denver is officially on the plains next to the mountains, it's still at a high altitude. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Try aspirin or drink caffeine to curb altitude headaches, and wear SPF!
Chill-out spot: If your definition of chilling out means biking, running, playing ultimate Frisbee, and such, you?ll find like-minded folks in Washington Park on the weekends.
Where the locals go: Dive bars like Candle Light Tavern, with darts, pool, foosball, and more are always packed. Otherwise, follow locals outside. Try rock climbing, biking, running, trail running, kayaking, hiking--you name it, it's here.
Local flavor: Steak and Colorado lamb are always tops in the Mile High City, but if you're craving Japanese, then Sushi Den on Pearl Street, is the place to see and be seen (yes, even though CO is land-locked).
Dress code: When in doubt, wear jeans. The REI flagship store is here, so you also can't go wrong with the outdoorsy look either.
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.
