There's so much to do!
Denver has so many cool spots worth checking out. I always feel like I'm seeing something new on TikTok or Instagram and adding it to my constantly growing list. There never seems to be enough time for it all, but I will try these places if it's the last thing I do! Let's take a look at some of my bucket list Denver food and drink locations.
Babe's Tea Room
You can tell just from the outside that this spot has good vibes. It looks super charming and stands out from the other nearby restaurants, as it is decorated with a bunch of flowers. I've wanted to go to a high tea for a while, and this looks like the perfect place to do so! All I want to do is eat cute little sandwiches and pastries while sipping on a tea or a cocktail. This seems like a perfect spot to go with the girls or on a date night. It really seems like a lovely experience and I can't wait to make plans to actually go.
The Piper Inn
This has been an iconic staple in the Denver area for over 50 years, and I've heard nothing but good things about it. The Piper Inn is a restaurant/biker bar, where they serve up classic American food, as well as Chinese food, street tacos, local craft beer, and more. While it may sound like a chaotic menu, it also sounds like they do everything right! And that is part of its charm. They're especially known for their wings, particularly their signature Chinese-style wings! This seems like such a fun and unique spot and I know I have to get myself there soon.
River Bar and Gallery
Have you ever had boozy boba? I haven't, and now that I've heard of it, I need to try it. This spot describes itself as, "A collaborative experience that creates ties within all communities." It seems like a super community-based bar, which is always fun. I love checking out places that have that extra special local vibe to them. Who wouldn't want to appreciate some local art while sipping on a boba cocktail? If booze isn't your thing, you can also get non-alcoholic boba. If boba's not your thing, they also offer other cocktails, and can even create custom drinks. They also have events and live music!
Vibe Coffee & Wine
Coffee shop/bar combos have seemingly been very popular these days! There are a couple here in Denver that I'm already a big fan of, such as Improper City and The Radiator. Vibe Coffee & Wine seems like such a fun place, especially since I know that I enjoy this type of vibe. Based on the images I've seen, the inside also looks exactly like this cool coffee shop I went to in San Diego, which makes me even more inclined to go! The homepage of their website says, "Are you here for the coffee, the wine, or the vibe?," which seems to perfectly encapsulate the type of energy it cultivates!
There's so much to do and see in and around Denver, from hiking in the mountains to cool bars in the city and more! That's why I am so happy to be living here. I can't wait to finally check out these bars and restaurants, and I know my Denver bucket list will only grow even more.
