    Beer fans shouldn't miss Ska Brewing, a homegrown brewery that boasts a large "tasting room" with 20 taps. The decor is bowling-alley inspired, including tables crafted with wood from former lanes at a Denver bowling alley. If the weather allows, you can sip your beer of choice on the parklike patio or second-story deck, beneath enormous, metal brew tanks. Pair your beer with a sandwich or artisanal pizza from The Container restaurant, made from two repurposed shipping containers attached to the brewery. Stop by on a Thursday night for live music or 4 pm Monday through Saturday for a brewery tour.

    Awash in flocked wallpaper and lace, the Diamond Belle Saloon is dominated by a gilt-and-mahogany bar. With its prime location—on the ground floor of the historic Strater Hotel—plus live ragtime piano music and servers dressed in period costumes, the Diamond Belle can really pack them in. Try the Brazilian mint martini; if you're hungry, order the much-hailed Diamond burger. Ask for the "secret menu."
