Bayou Bobs off 16th St Mall.

Yup, sucks big time. Though Jessie’s Smokin’ NOLA, in Centennial, is pretty awesome.

Going for my first time this summer for a baseball game.

Have no idea on where to stay.....any recommendations on areas to search for hotels?

Like to be in a safe and fun area.....

Thanks in advance,

As mentioned, all around Coors Field is pretty upscale and safe. I’d say that compared to most major cities, the Denver metro area in general is very safe. Parts of Aurora, Golden, and some other places are a little seedy but nothing compared to Dallas, Chicago, or NOLA. The really nice thing is that durning the summer, it can be 100F outside and you won’t break a sweat if you stand in the shade..

LOL, I remember in tech school at Lowry (RIP) the radio said it was an extremely humid day at 12% humidity. Perspiration works so much better when it actually evaporates.

For restaraunts check out Biker Jim's downtown, any of the taco/Mexican or Vietnamese places on south federal are pretty amazing. Great Bahn Mi sandwiches and pho. Los Tortugas on alameda for bomb arse Mexican sandwiches.

Try yourself a breakfast burrito with egg, bacon or chorizo, potatos and cheese smothered in green chile and be filled with warmth and happiness.

plenty of amazing microbreweries. I love Strange Craft brewing, Prost, and great divide....Great divide is packed in the weekends...don't bother if you hate crowds. otherwise just walk around and you will run into a great microbrewery.


Coors field is awesome. Get seats high on the east wall and watch the game and the sunset over the mountains.

A concert at Red Rocks is a must if you can make it. Also check out Rocky Mountain National park about 90 minutes from Denver. It's epic.

I'm sure there are plenty of new spots in the last 2 years but that should be a good start.
