My friend Stuart (seen in the photograph above) and I headed to Lower Downtown Denver (LoDo) and the Lower Highlands neighborhood (LoHi) yesterday afternoon and did a little bar hopping (more or less). We parked along Commons Park and then walked to the Denver Beer Company, which was so packed with hipsters that there was not a single seat available. We decided to leave (even though those were our people there), and walked over to The Ale House in LoHi, which had much fewer hipsters per square foot. We were able to have a beer on their rooftop patio at a table with a great view of downtown Denver. From there we headed over to the Wynkoop Brewing Company in LoDo for dinner. This is the brew pub that John Hickenlooper - the former governor of Colorado and a recent presidential candidate - used to own. Since he is no longer running for president, we were thinking Hickenlooper might be there waiting tables, but he was nowhere in sight - probably has weekends off. In any case, the food and service were both good, so I guess we can't complain.
