Happy hour at the Wynkoop Brewing Company is indeed truly happy - pints are $5 from 3:00 until 6:00, and things are always pretty lively, especially after an afternoon game at Coors Field. My sister Susan and I took the light rail train to Union Station this past Thursday, and stopped in for a couple of beers. The Wynkoop was started by John Hickenlooper, the former mayor of Denver and governor of Colorado, who is currently a U.S. Senator. He sold his share of the bar to his partners after his political career was established, but I'm sure they would have hired him back as a maitre d' if he'd lost the senate race in 2020.
My favorite part of the Wynkoop is sitting on the outdoor deck, watching the crowds go by, especially when everyone is so jazzed after a Colorado Rockies victory - admittedly a rare occurrence, although this past weekend they swept the San Diego Padres, who are actually a pretty good team. I have to wonder if Rockies players got together and paid the Padres off, or if it was just some sort of divine miracle? Regardless, the happy hour beers are the same price, win or lose, thank God. And if you are in Lower Downtown Denver, be sure to check the place out.
