    Hey guys,
    I am goign to be in Denver the last weekend of February for my buddies bachelor party. He is into craft beer, but definitely not anywhere near the level i am at. I am looking for some ideas of places that are cant miss (eating, drinking, etc) while we are there. We are staying at the embassy suites in downtown and will have to take a cab anywhere we go outside walking distance so keep that in mind.

    We arrive the 27th around midday, and i am planning on goign to the nuggets/nets game that night (any tips on best seats in the pepsi center are welcome! and if anyone has tickets, i would love to take some off your hands). after the game, we will probably go to a nice bar that speicailizes in bourbon. Are there any of these downtown that would have some of the higher end bourbons available?

    Friday the 28th is goign to be the day i need to fill some ideas in. We have all day to do whatever. It is kinda the random sightseeeing day. So any opinions would be definitely considered.

    Saturday, we are going to try to book a snowmobile tour. I have read about some online but, once again, i would rather take advice from people on here than what companies promise.

    Any help would be appreciatred. i know he will have a good time but i want to make sure it is a phenomenal time.

    and if anyone wants to do an IP trade, i would def be game for it :slight_smile:.

    ideas/comments can be posted below and if you want to do IP or have some tickets or anything else you wan tto communicate, you can shoot me a BM.

    Thanks in advance for any advice!

    Bull and Bush. Great Bourbon selection and craft brewery. Also, great food. Sounds like a win for everyone.

    EDIT: should be a very short cab ride from downtown.

    +1 for Bull and Bush. The beer there is underrated too, but be prepared it's pretty laid back.

    The Bull & Bush is also within walking distance of two fine gentleman's establishments...

    I went on a snowmobile tour in Winter Park & it was amazing. If you make it to Boulder, West End Tavern has a good whiskey/bourbon selection as well as flight options. Kick ass beer selection too.

    I'll be in Denver a week or so before you will and I noticed you mentioned a Nuggets game. Don't forget to check out stubhub. The game I'm thinking about going to has tix as low as $8. They are nosebleed seats but I don't care about the NBA and I'm just looking to kill a few hours.
    As far as craft beer bars I keep hearing about Falling Rock Taphouse, so I hope to check that out.

    Freshcraft is right now the street from Pepsi Center....great place to grab some dinner and good beer before a game.

    I prefer Freshcraft over Falling Rock, but both worth checking out!

    Falling Rock has a bigger tap list, but Freshcraft's beer list is always great, and they have way better food (and it's not even close) and way better service

    That's a tough one for me.

    To me, nothing beats enjoying a nice beer (especially pre/post Rockies game) out on the Falling Rock patio. One of my favorite Colorado drinking experiences, personally. But, perhaps, for entire package I think Freschcraft can probably take that prize.

    For sure the patio, the bartenders every time I've gone were a holes.

    Grab an Uber ride to Del Friscos in the tech center for the best steak in Denver. It's also a good place for a group of guys. Brooks' is also down south and is the best independent steakhouse in town. The Keg is a reasonably priced spot downtown, and also good for a group of dudes. Then you've got Mortons and the Chophouse downtown. Great steaks, but wouldn't be my top choice for a bachelor party group. The Buckhorn exchange serves prime beef along with lots of game, and is the oldest restaurant in Denver. I've found the food to be hit or miss. I'm not a big fan of Elways or Shanahans, but they've got a nice ambiance and plenty of "scenery."

    Yeah, Del Friscos and Brooks are probably the best steakhouses in town although both are on the far southern end of town. There isn't much around either of them, too. I work down there, so I know :stuck_out_tongue:
    Morton's downtown is cramped, so I'd probably avoid it. The Chophouse isn't as upscale as some of the others, but I'm a fan. Sullivan's is another good spot that's a little more casual than some, but is little bit of a step up from the Chophouse. It's also conveniently right beside the Wynkoop.
