Going to Denver next week for work. Any bars/restaurants that should not be missed? One of my co-workers wants to try that 7 lb breakfast burrito from Man Vs Food.

Ask 20 different people and you'll get 20 different answers.  Are you staying in the city?  Tech Center?  A surrounding city/town?  

Breakfast:  Snooze (2 locations)
Lunch:  This is wide open.  You can get a great, cheap meal from a vendor cart on the 16th St. Mall or spend a small fortune at a nice restaurant.
Steak place:  Elways (they also have the BEST service), The Keg, McCormicks
Burger joint:  Cherry Cricket

Restaurants w/patios, balconies and/or great views:  Lola's, Cherry Cricket, Hyatt Regency Denver.

Plenty of us on the MHM (Mile High Monster) board who can help direct you.

Most importantly:  Thursday nights at The Garage on Bannock St.   You might get to meet quite a few of the local DMF'ers.   [thumbsup]

PM any of us for more info.!

Staying at the Westin. I heard that Elway's had good people watching.
We have a $55 per diem so we try to eat cheap and drink well.
I fly out at 5 on Thursday, otherwise I would stop by and say hi.

Westin Downtown, I'm assuming?

If so, you're a block off 16th Street Mall. 

If you go to Elway's you need to go to the one in Cherry Creek, not the one at the Ritz Carlton.

Sullivan's, Gallagher's, Morton's...
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

And Elway's is?

Oh, there are ways...

Eat in the bar at Sullivan's...  $10 steak.  (Been a few years, might have gone up a couple bucks)

Morton's does have a few decent happy hour specials.

McCormick's also has a good happy hour.

Out of curiosity:

a few years ago, they shot the Real World in Denver.

They always went to this district with a shit ton of bars with patios, eateries, etc.


Is that 16th St area?
