Nightlife and Hotels in the Denver Area?

[Joey]

With my work schedule the wife and I see each other in passing for the most part and today I found out I've got Sunday and Monday off.

So we are thinking about driving down to Denver Sat night, finding a nice hotel & going out for a while in the "big" city

Other than Shotgun Willie's (where the wife says she might be willing to go) what else is available to do on short notice in Denver and do ya have any good hotel recommendations?

Anyplace you can recommend for a nice Sunday breakfast, some kind of buffet or something along those lines that's not a suit and tie place?

Thanks!!

Joey, good plan, bring the wife down and spend quality time!
Good hotel, downtown Marriot, I liked it. Dinner, if you have the money Elway's, one of the best steakhouses in the country (if you don't include Texas). As for nightlife, it really depends on what you're looking for, do you want a bar, club, lounge? What style are you into, western, electronic, rock n roll, sports? I can give you plenty of suggestions in each area just because I'm a diverse and very open person and I've been to the best and worst of each.

Breakfast= Bistro Vendome http://bistrovendome.com/

It's on Larimer Square, between 14th and 15th on Larimer street. Excellent food with a cool French bistro feel. Not a buffet, but awesome food.

For hotels, I like Hotel Monaco or The Curtis. They're both nicer hotels, with a little bit of a boutique feel.

Neither of those things are close to Shotgun's, but that's not in downtown anyways

I'm a fan of the Brazilian restaurants: Rodizio, or especially Fogo de Chao. I could eat till I rolled out of there.

I try to avoid sending my money anywhere near Denver.

Rodizio is the sh%!... Love it!

Graves, you sure don't like Denver, not all that money goes to the dumb anti-gun bureaucracy. There are some really good places in Denver.

A good and somewhat cheap form of entertainment if you like improve comedy is the Impulse Theater under the Wynkoop Brewery (http://www.impulsetheater.com/?gclid...FQpo5QodwBqXIw). It has a 2 drink minimum (does not need to be alcohol) but you can get Wynkoop beer so you are covered there. Good food at the Wynkoop if you are looking for casual then just walk downstairs. Another option I am doing the with the better half in a couple weeks, but going to Comedy Works on Larimer and staying at the Westin downtown (quality unknown, they were the cheapest on short notice).

Don't forget Texas de Brazil.

Don't forget Texas de Brazil.

I haven't been lucky enough to eat there yet... I've heard it's so awesome but a little pricey.

I was going to suggest the Mon Chalet then I saw you were from WY and may not get the "joke" and actually bring your wife (without knowing what it is)
