As a Colorado native, here are some of my suggestions for things to do in Denver...
1. Wynkoop Brewery - one of the original brew pubs in Denver and started by Gov. Hick, good beer, food and pool tables
2. The "Cruise Room" at the Oxford Hotel...not your typical hotel bar!
3. Denver Beer Co. - some of the funkiest beers you will find
4. The "LoDo" (lower downtown) area - next to Coors baseball stadium, lots of restaurants, brew pubs, etc.
5. For music fans, a couple of great CD & vinyl stores - "Twist & Shout" and "Wax Trax"
6. For great and authentic British style Fish & Chips, go to "GB Fish & Chips" on Broadway
7. If you have a car, Boulder, CO is only 30-40 minutes drive - main campus for the Univ. of Colorado and Pearl Street Mall
8. Longmont (Left Hand Brewery) and Fort Collins (New Belgium Brewery & CSU) are worth the visit, but longer drive - 1+ hour
9. There are a number of smaller music venues in and around downtown Denver as well.
10. Pick up a copy of the free Westword newspaper for all the latest happenings, best restaurants, concerts, etc. Here's the link to the digital version: http://www.westword.com/about/flipbooks
