Learn What the Locals Know. Like any city, Denver has its hidden gems and favorite places. You know, the places locals hang out. Want to find a lively neighborhood pub, an off-the-beaten-path place for dinner, the best place to take in the local music scene, or an awesome park, where kids can let off some steam? Well, then, you’ve come to the right place.

EAT like a local

Sure, there are plenty of restaurant critics out there. But locals know about the off-the-beaten path restaurants, which chef is hot, and what’s best on the menu at the city’s prime spots.

ROCK like a local

Denver has more music venues than LA, and most are intimate settings with a wide variety of music. What’s the best show you’ve seen in Denver? Where is there always sure to be something good? When do particular venues do theme nights?

SHOP like a local

Locals are nothing if not independent, and beyond the malls lay hundreds of privately owned shops with local designers. Where do the locals buy their must-have fashion accessories? Where can you always find the perfect gift?

HIKE like a local

What trails are a must-see? Where do you take your mom? Or your dog? Which one has the un-missable view, or the fierce finish?

FAMILY TIME like a local

Visiting with kids under 10? They’re going to love Denver, particularly if you check out the local advice on what do (rain or shine).

DRINK like a local

Denver is filled with boisterous brewpubs, chilled-out martini lounges and chic wineries. What's the best locally-brewed microbrew? Where's the best rooftop patio? Where can you find the best happy hour deals?

ON THE CHEAP like a local

Trying to save a buck? Ask the locals where the best free sites and cheap eats are.

BARK like a local

Denver is a DOG city. Seriously. You can buy everything from custom portraits to organic biscuits, and many people-stops offer dog-friendly accommodations. Just ask a local.

CHEER like a local

Sure, there are eight pro sports teams. But Denverites know the best section to sit in, which games you have to see, and other secrets for sports enthusiasts.

LOVE like a local

Locals know how to get romantic. From the candlelit restaurant to the late night carriage ride (or moonlit hike – this is Denver after all) locals share where, and how, you can tempt cupid
