Going to be in Denver this week and looking for good restaurants in the downtown area (I think my hotel is on Sherman St). We're going to be in a group, so a place that is amenable to large parties would be a plus.

Root Down in Highlands (just west of downtown) is interesting if a little bit on the crunchy side.
I always enjoyed Wyncoop Brewing in Lodo. Typical brewpub stuff, but always solid and consistent. Benny's, south of Downtown, was a favorite for Mexican.There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.
Tila Tequila and Juggalos, America’s saddest punchline since the South.

Bump.
I'll be going out there next week for work. Any new good eats since 2011?"They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Denver has to have the largest concentration of people with guitars that think they can play and sing but can't.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Recently on a warm summers night around 8:45 I drove west on Division from around 60th headed towards the Ross Island Bridge - there were tens of thousands of people out on the streets. All in their little Bohemian counter-culture outfits, the LBGT crowds were hold hands and kissing, and I saw a most amazing transgender - who was stunningly beautiful. Everyone was out walking or eating at a sidewalk cafe, or just standing around playing the guitar. Must have been a dozen or more Huskers out making music. I just rolled down the windows and let the wind blow back my hair.
If any of you guys ever want to see the future of condensed living America - come to Portland and traverse the lower SE. You'll cry like that Indian in the 70's.

I spent the weekend in Denver. Flew in on Thursday night for work. Worked all day Friday, caught dinner with a fellow CSer, and then hung out Saturday with my two best friends from high school. A few observations:
1) the Rockies TV announcers are awful. Can't believe Rockies fans (lol) put up with that garbage. Actually, I can.
2) If a denim shirt over jeans is a Canadian Tuxedo, then a plaid flannel shirt is a Denver Sweater. 25-30% of the population must wear those things. Women wear them. Men wear them. Women pull them out of their purse and put them on over their little black dress when it's cold. Waitresses keep them around their waist and when it gets chilly, they throw on the Denver Sweater. Haven't seen that much flannel since Pearl Jam hit the big time.
3) Pretty decent food scene. I ate at two sushi restaurants, and both were very good. Denver Biscuit Co. is super trendy, but leaves me happy every time.
4) Sports bar scene is legit. Blake street has some awesome bars with rooftop settings, and tons of TVs. I watched the entire BYU game at a rooftop bar, and it was great. Servers were very attractive, as well.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss
