Hey all I am going to be at the Sheraton in the Tech Center area the first week of July. Not that I can't get up to Denver proper, but since most of my free time is going to be in smaller chunks, I am looking for recommendations around that area. Greenwood Village is the specific city listed. What're your thoughts on: Best taplist? Best (if any) brewery a few minutes away? Best food? Best late night bar? Not like youngsters spot or a club or anything, just somewhere for a pour later in the evening Thanks in advance
Haven't been to either but Resolute Brewing is right down the street from there and Lone Tree brewing is maybe 3.5 miles away. Their tap lists look interesting to me, but I can't vouch for the quality. Dry Dock is about a 15-minute drive and is one of the best breweries in the Denver area, IMO. They've been around for a while and everything they make is solid if not spectacular. You could probably get to Comrade in less than 20 minutes too and they make some of the best IPAs in Denver. There's a lot of places to eat around there, but someone who's familiar with the area would know more about that than me. But most people would agree that making the trip to Comrade is a must. You're closer to it in Greenwood Village than some other places in Denver.
I work in that area. It's not exactly downtown, but it's not bad for a giant office park. Resolute is a fine choice. Their beers are good and they have a varied list of options. Good food trucks, too. They're a sleeper favorite for many people. As mentioned by Travis224, Dry Dock isn't that far. It's an easy Uber/Lyft. Comrade, too. They're both among Denver's elite options, period. There's a CB & Potts (aka. a Ram restaurant) close by and a Rock Bottom, too. If you've never had either, the Potts beers are shockingly good. RB's aren't bad, but they're less noteworthy IMO. As far as taps go, Two Penguins is a hair too far to walk, but it's a quick rideshare. They have arguably the best taplist (quality-wise) on the southern half of town. They'll have the hyped stuff you've likely heard about along with some solid mainstays. I highly recommend a visit. There's a Yardhouse down at the Mall. As far as pure selection, they don't get much larger. It isn't as curated as Two Penguins...but they have about 2x as many beers and the food is better, IMO. For pure convenience, you're literally right beside the Viewhouse. The food is pretty solid and they have 40'ish taps. Nothing crazy, but lots of good local beers.
Couple additional options nearby that are worth considering. Tap & Burger Belleview Station has good food and a solid beer list. Parry's Pizza (Greenwood Village) has a good tap list, which you can check online. I don't recall ever getting food there, so I can't vouch for the pizza. There's also a new brewery that's walkable from your hotel--Peak View. I know nothing about the beer, but I can give it the glowing endorsement that I pass by a couple days a week and it's usually crowded.
Yardhluse came to mind, but their food is pretty meh. Trek over to Davidsons, and just get trashed back at the hotel room.
