The Breakfast Hotspot! Great diner food and atmosphere. Always busy and affordable food. There are bar seats that are first-come-first-serve so don't be intimidated by the wait time and belly up to one of the 'bars' if there is an open spot! Great Early Bird Breakfast Specials!

Terminal Bar is located right in the fun and new Union Station terminal. Socialize in the vast and historic terminal of Union Station. Great place to rendezvous and the Cooper Lounge upstairs is a little more upscale and pricey but has a more intimate feel.

Parks & Nature
Large open space park that is great for a friend / family gathering. Play catch or set up your volleyball net! For you out-of-staters: it is legal to bring beer to a park in Colorado but it has to be 3.2 beer! Colorado grocery stores sell only 3.2 beer, so it is safe to make your purchase at a grocery store ;-)

Really cute and relaxing botanic park. Great place to visit anytime of the year. Spring: I recommend relaxing among the blooming lilacs! Summer: The entire place is blooming and magical ;-) Fall: The corn maze and pumpkin patch at the Chatfeild Botanic Gardens (30 minutes south) Winter: The greenhouse is like a tropical getaway and the Japanese garden is so peaceful and beautiful in the winter. There is a fun and educational Children's garden and the Hive Cafe is great and serves food from their own garden! Look online to see what days are free!
