Ok...Here's what you want to know from a resident of 22 years. Recreational dispensaries are everywhere. Best to blow off the rental car and take the train from the airport to downtown and just hang there. Traffic is terrible. The downtown (LODO) nightlife is amazing and fun. Be 21 to buy pot and have a valid US license or passport. You can't buy more than an ounce at one location. The edibles are usually high quality and locally sourced. Technically you can't smoke pot in public by law, but the cops don't really care as long as you're discreet. DO NOT attempt to take pot home. TSA is looking for it and there are drug dogs at the airport. DO NOT attempt to transport it across state lines because cops in the surrounding states are looking for it. Give your body a day to adjust to the altitude and drink lots of water. You'll be fine. So come here.... enjoy an amazing town and our relaxed vibe, beautiful weather, and of course, get up into the mountains if you can. God's country.

God people whine. Hopefully the comment section is no indication of the beautiful people here. Born and raised...I will always love you Denver

There is a lot more to do In Denver than drink beer lol

Not sure why this video exists because it doesn't really give any info about Denver and it just shows a few businesses (which are good ones), but I will dish out some info to add to it:) So without further ado Denver 36 hr and 2 min. To start off with Denver is a great biking city. The streets are easy to navigate on bike and there is the creek path that covers west downtown and goes up to cherry creek. Cherry creek is for upscale shopping and its nice to walk around. From the south head over to cap hill, to colfax, for games and shows. There are a slew of venues fillmore ogden and further east is the bluebird. Colfax is grimy has been for a while but that is the charm of it. The pubs range from hippie ones, sanchos, to game ones, 1 up, to dive bars with small acts playing, lions lair. One of the highlights in Denver is the growing comedy scene, every night there are open mics up the ying and all the comedians use them for training. There is fine gentlemens club that has traveling and acts wed night above city o city at the deer pile, its great, free and beer is for donation. 36 hr and 10 min:) Broadway is a wee hipster but mixed in with newcomers so some bros, it has vintage shops coffee shops, vintage book stores and a good venue called hi dive for more mainstream hipster music. Oh and it has a movie theater, the myan. actually its an awesome movie theater. Downtown has tons of brew pubs, and breweries. do not expect good food in colorado, high elevation perhaps, but great drinks to wash it down. there are fun restaurants, i like the kitchen downtown, and there are some venues but they are on trashy 16th st. if you like to fight thats a good place to go, some toughies in there, much like that street in seattle, they look identical, otherwise all of downtown is safe. Lo do is not my thing but for clubbing thats where to go, im a sucker for beta, nice techno dub and drugs. Further north of lodo is five points, thats where good jazz and more music occurs. it used to be a terrible neighborhood but has always had good music. Its been gentrified and once again good hippie, jazz, dub and so forth. not really a bar scene there. Next, below five points is river north, which is a tech area that utilizes older small factories and so forth. There is an art scene there good restaurants for denver and probably the better breweries. great area to be on bike, for you can bounce back and forth between dozens of spots. weed is weed in my mind, edibles tinctures are my favorite way do it and most places sell the same of each so i dont have a preference on dispensaries. It's a good city, dont trash it and you wont be messed with:)

One of the best cities in the world. Humble people, and something for everyone, local or not. If anyone is debating visiting here, take it from a native, you have to experience Denver. It is a city like no other

I expected a LOT more from this video. If this is focused on tourism, they could have mentioned that Red Rocks is just outside of Denver; and within a few hours you can be in a totally different landscape/area by going to the mountains and seeing breathe taking scenery. Denver is big in music, but also theater. The parks are filled with people playing sports every weekend. The history and architecture of this place. The winter sports in Colorado that you can go ski and snowboard, and the summer activities such as kayaking, rafting, mtn. biking. There is so much to do, and the community is so involved. The good of Denver is to live in a big city, but small enough where people care and get involved. Get out, look outside of your window. If you live here stop whining, you will have to have a job in any other city, and there will be traffic there too, and homeless people there too. Welcome to civilization.

I'm saving this video, but only because of the comments section. All the tips and insight from the locals are much appreciated as I am planning a short solo trip there!

I live in Denver, and this video represents it horribly.

I live in Denver and this is NOTHING! You guys are missing so much. There’s so many cool places to go that aren’t included in this video. We have many great places like Stanley Marketplace, 16th street mall, THE MOUNTAINS, Elitchs, the zoo, the museum of nature and science, Colfax and a lot of old buildings. This is making Denver look so boring but there is actually so much to do. So if your actually looking for cool things to do, use google. Also, there are a lot of hippies but not this many hippies lol. We have a mix, and not everything is about pot. If you go down I25 that’s like the main dispensary area but there aren’t many dispensary’s anywhere else.

Its so awesome to see this I leave here and I been to most of the place and it make me feel happy I been there

My SO and I just went to Denver last weekend in our most recent vlog, definitely wish we would have watched this first! lol

The only dog I haven't tried at Biker Jim's is the rattlesnake. I love that place. 💖💖💖

So we're gonna ignore the weed scene?

Rents here are WAY!!!!! too expensive!! Not enough affordable housing!! Downtown if full of homeless and criminals. I have lived here all my life and have definately seen the change!! But! if you can afford it? come on in! Lol!

Denver is my home town I was born, raised, and taught in Denver great place 👍👍👍👍👍

This was pretty cool. Headed to Denver tomorrow and wanted to see some things we should check out. We will hit some of these sights but will also be going to some other places in the city.

Wow this really is what you expect if you live here! ( so BOOTIFUL)

Denver is alright. I live about an hour from there but I used to be only 30 mins away, so I've been there plenty. There isn't much to do out here though; I mean it looks pretty with the atmosphere and mountains in the background but it gets old after a couple of years. Sporting events are fun, the food is nothing new, also there are three theme parks. The city just lacks hustling, exoticness, and excitement which LA, NYC, and Houston have. For me the environment just gets dull and I'm begging for beaches. People that I know from major cities that live here just tell stories about how great where ever it was they moved from. I can't wait to move back to Texas.

‘Sweet action’ on south broadway for ice cream! A denver couple started it and own it. They are very good to their employees and the ice cream is sooooo awesome!

Hipsters are everywhere! What with their hairy faces and their vegan diets and their tiny feet and their bedding made of straw. Wait. Hamsters! Hamsters are everywhere!

Thinking about moving here. Thanks for the great review. I'm sure there's bad sides to the city too but so far - impressive.

Ugh all this shows is the over rated hipster areas and locations. Real Denver isn't the rhino and lodo districts. Good to see that the Mayan was on this video.

the job market in Denver is completely saturated. traffic is out of control. the city has outgrown what its infrasturucture can handle. homeless everywhere. Stay out if you can.

I live in Denver, and it's great. This video is dumb, but the city is great. There are places now that are 420 friendly to hang out. It's really growing into an amazing city.

I moved here in 1997. I have had the same job since. I have seen it grow tremendously. I think I'll stay for a while.

I moved here from Lincoln, NE to the suburbs of Denver in Englewood. There's so much gang violence, homeless people, and my house has been broken into by Juggalos who hang out at Cushing Park. Moving back to my small town. If you think about moving here save yourself the grief. STAY AWAY!

At 1:40 the guy definitely says that you can smell it "lofting" out lol

we welcome visitors all day every day..... but please visit and return to your original city because we are now overcrowded with people from other states coming to smoke weed and ski. Please blaze and evacuate our state! LOL (wishful thinking I guess)

Denver is awesome. What they're not telling you, and don't let it get out, is that in Denver, the people you run into are very friendly, and the only other city that friendly is Nashville, which doesn't have quite as much, but is pretty awesome.

Place looks phenomenal

That's nice! This video make me want to go there. Denver looks like extremely interesting.

Love DENVER 💙🏈💖🌄

Before you visit Denver, take a good look at a map of downtown. You'll see that downtown streets run NW - SE and SW - NE, as opposed to streets in surrounding areas, which run N - S and W - E. This can be confusing at first. The downtown streets were laid out to conform to the Platte River and Cherry Creek.

im from Denver and im proud

This is hands down the best major city in the nation

Drum and Bass will be huge again in Denver thanks to Language and Recon D&B!

I've caught and have ate wild Rattlesnake and I was not disappointed by biker Jim's rattlesnake dog at all... I work on a few different dairy farms in New Mexico.

I think they should have mentioned more about the pedicab scene and the biking community because it is huge in Denver

I have lived in Denver my whole life and literally have never done any of that stuff..... I need to get out more lol

I've been in Denver my whole life and I've never been to any of these places. This is so hipster it hurts lol

Nice video I want to go there hope one day I can be

So yesterday was my first time visiting Denver. Right after I got off my car, these two homeless people came to me and just said out of nowhere "We won the war." and "Get out of this country" because I'm asian. What a great city Denver is.

That little mexican restaurant on santa fe. Has the BEST green chili beef burritos. Yes you want onions and salsa!!!! Literally i used to drive 10 hours just to eat there.

Denver native. Most of these places suck they showed and most of the info was wrong. Do the opposite of what they say here.

I am going to Denver these holidays and literally nothing in this video intrigued me, Im coming to see the Rockies and that's about all that stands out to me so far.

Denver is really diverse {11% black population] so I am disappointed the NY Times didnt mention anything about Five Points @ColoredSpaces

Not inspired to visit Denver after seeing this video. Basically you get the vibe there are bars and a few niche shops/hole in the wall stores. Where are the parks, museums, great restaurants and hidden gems of Denver?

More to Denver than just breweries and restaurants haha. Check out the Denver Center for Performing arts for theatre and music or live music at the various theaters around as well as great coffee shops, book stores, art and history

Casa Bonita?

What to to in Denver? LEAVE!!! WE ARE FULL!!!

There is places that i did even know existed here in Denver

I’ve lived in Denver since ‘93 (Philadelphia transplant). Greatest place on earth. Only flaw is traffic and crowds.

Whoa.........very interesting recommendations. I have never recommended any of these places except Little Man Ice cream....

all true-I live here on bassett st

Little man Icecream is wonderful but have you tried sweet action is icecream? It is on broadway. I think they deserve way more customers

I NEEEEEEED to go there.

I was brought here 6 years ago. I don’t find it all that fun and everything you want to do costs so much money. Fees for this. Licenses for that. But most of all, the people here aren’t very friendly or neighborly. Obviously that’s a generalization. I’ve found that people that are actually from here are really cool. But Denver is a melting pot and most of the people I’ve met are from Chicago, Wisconsin, Detroit and California and they bring their attitudes with them.

Hi, a student is here! In this summer im going to visit to your city :) im so excited. I will come via Work&Travel program. Do you have any suggestions for me? I'll work for Elitch Gardens and looking for a second job for 3 months.

Soooooo, where is Pete's Kitchen? If all your'e going to show is businesses, then show the true landmarks of Denver, okay?

Little mans is the best oml

If you're going to talk about Denver show the outside of the city like lakeside

Was a nice western town in the 80's. Now it's a mess. It was bound to happen. I came here in 88 for a hospital job that thought was a "military facility" called, Ft Collins. It was very small & majestic. It all has changed. "Some forever, not for better !"

I know there’s more to Denver. I’ve only been once but want to go back. If you’re pressed for time and on a budget there’s nothing wrong with doing the touristy stuff.

Great spot! LOVE Little Man #icecream

I staying Denver after my legal issues have been dealt with and I have completed either Jail or probation or bolth.

Rattlesnake is the bomb. Never had it in hot dog form.

How can they make a video about my home and not mention the homelessness, weed, and polution. Denver is an industrial city, many power plants and factories. It is really great if you know where to go. If you are looking for some fun, deffinately come. Bars and drugs galore

Heyo I live in Denver yess

Indyink reminds me off Raygun T-shirts in Des Moines

Native to Colorado and I got a good place for you If you don’t wanna be in The city you could take a quick trip to Salida and go there really small town AWSOME food hipster heaven. And from there go to crested butte (not butt) there’s this donut place that’s to die for and a really good coffee shop. Also in the summer you can hike and it’s so much fun.

Denver's Cool. Plenty of work if you want it. Sorta reminds me of Tampa in someways.

Lookout Mountain is a pretty cool thing to do just type it in your GPS and I'll take you to the high spot at night time you could see all of Colfax Lit up! being here is just Colfax, until you go up there and see how big it really is.

“This might be a good video” Sees its from the new york times “Oh...never mind I will just google it”

I miss denver, but living in the United Kingdom is nice.

A lot of people saying that this doesn't represent Denver but do not say what places that people should go visit instead.

Don't forget the failing infastructure on the west side of town

this is an extended ad for a few business

36 hours in Ann Arbor!

Denver's got a decent swing dance and tango scene... But so does Boulder lol

where weed is legalized, there's gonna be lots of good food

So much more to do in Denver than just this. What a shame.

I live in Denver 👍

I like that ice cream they have lots of marajuana flavor.

I live in denver!

Yeah denver has all this but manbut shopping eating and drink you can do any wear, I've lived here my whole life and that's just day one come in the winter you better go to up to the mountains skiing and snowboarding in the summer take a couple days go camping hiking, biking, rafting, and its not just denver that's cool Fourt Collins is amazing. It a a collage town but it is so different from denver I honestly need to go around more of colorado cuz I know there way more here then what I know

Visit Denver then Go home!

How is it living here? I live in Houston and I absolutely hate it can't wait to get out. This city and Seattle are at the top of my list for sure.

Personal opinion; biker Jim’s pheasant dog is great, lil mans salted oreo is good and u have to at least try chubbys smothered fries but go to the original chubbys on 38th

I've been to Biker Jims!

Although the video didn't showcase most of denver, just businesses.. I am so proud to be from such a beautiful state !

What is the best month of year to visit Denver?

As a native to Denver, I have never heard of any of these places.

Denver is ok for a trendy hipster cowtown. Im sure all cities are going through the same hipster fad in those places too. here, to many micro brewery's with the same scene and people. For more diverse places hit, 16th street mall, Confluence Park, Boulder, Central City, Manitou Springs, Great Sand Dunes, even Golden.

😂😂 yo this is like what to do if you’re a hipster. Denver is so much more than yoga and beer.

My Grandma lives by that ice cream shop

Red Rocksssss

I almost got in a fist fight in front of that ice cream place in the thumbnail

Mayan Theater is by far best thing listed. Don't go to Little Man. (Denver resident)

Fried mac and cheese at biker jims. Get you some

I was just in Denver and I have to say it was a huge disappointment. The biggest highlight was the Zoo for me. Next, time I’ll be going to Colorado Springs. Seems more interesting if you want to venture.
