Denver recommendations?

[OG Jo]

My husband and I are going to Denver this weekend for the Ween reunion show.  We're staying in Bloomfield and aside from the shows, we have no plans.  Any must sees or eats?

Is the show in Broomfield too? Do you have a car?
The weather is supposed to be lovely this weekend so I would head to Boulder and take a hike at Chautauqua and walk around Pearl Street. Restaurant recommendations are - Frasca, Pizzeria Locale, Blackbelly Market, Basta, OAK at 14th.
Denver restaurants - this is a good list denver.eater.com/maps/best-new-denver-restaurants-heatmap
If you let me know what you like to eat and what part of town you'll be in I can offer more specific suggestions. As for what to do, I would probably do a brewery tour if you like beer. We have A TON of good breweries and with the nice weather I'd want to sit outside and drink. But maybe you're from a place that has nice weather all the time and you wouldn't be as excited by that

If you like beer check out Avery brewing.

Yes, the show is in Broomfield.  (I can never remember if it's bRoomfield or bLoomfield!)  We will have a car but don't want to spend more than an hour or so in the car.  I don't really drink but I'll suggest a brewery tour to the hubs.

I'm from Texas but still excited for your nice weather.  I was really worried about the cold and snow I thought we'd be enduring!

I would head to Boulder then. Denver is nice, but Boulder is beautiful and I feel like there is more outdoor stuff to do. Boulder is also a really quick trip from Broomfield as well (so is Denver).

I agree with ijack's Boulder rec. This is a fun tour of Boulder if you like history and architecture:
