Thanks for the recommendations so far. We are in town August 8-11 and are renting a house that appears to be in a downtown location and is walkable "to all the restaurants, bars, Coors Field, Convention Center, National Western Stock Show, LoDo, 16th Street." We are going to a Rockies game either Friday or Saturday night but not sure if we have many defined plans outside of that right now, hence this thread bump.

Phoenix is playing Red Rocks the night before we get there, but I couldn't swing another night away. As for beer, I am going to push Denver Beer Co, Great Divide, River North, and TRVE based on recommendations here. The Highlands neighborhood sounds worth looking into more. I would love to get into Boulder since a buddy and his wife from here moved there and opened up a storefront called Nod & Rose and would like to check it out but just not sure of logistically if we can get there.

how did the trip work out? I'm still trying to decide between visiting friends there with just my wife or dragging the whole brood out there.
