The Story of LoDo
🏕️
1858
Denver Founded at the Confluence
LoDo sits at the original townsite of Denver City, platted in 1858 at the confluence of Cherry Creek and the South Platte River by General William Larimer Jr.
Clark, Gruber & Co. Bank & Mint — Denver's first financial institution, 1860
🚂
1870s–1880s
Denver's Commercial Heart
The arrival of the railroad in 1870 made LoDo a booming hub. Warehouses, wholesalers, and the first department stores packed the district's iconic brick blocks.

🏛️
1914
Union Station Rebuilt
The current Beaux-Arts Union Station opened in 1914, replacing an 1881 structure. It served as Denver's gateway for generations of travelers.
🏚️
1970s–1980s
Urban Decline
As suburbanization drained downtown, LoDo warehouses emptied. The neighborhood fell into disrepair — cheap rents attracted artists, galleries, and fringe businesses.
⚾
1995
Coors Field Opens
The opening of Coors Field (originally built 1993–1995) catalyzed LoDo's revival, bringing foot traffic, bars, and investment that transformed Blake Street.
✨
2014
Union Station Renovated
A $54 million renovation transformed Union Station into a world-class transit hub and social destination — Terminal Bar, boutique hotel, and year-round events followed.

Denver Open Data for LoDo
Explore food safety and licensing data for restaurants, bars, and food businesses in LoDo.
View Restaurant Health Scores in LoDo →Lower Downtown Denver is a set of blocks running from the food hall at 1800 Wazee St to the ballpark at 2001 Blake St. This Lower Downtown Denver events guide follows those blocks in order: a food hall, a daily ballpark tour, beer stops near Blake St, then dinner and stand-up on Larimer and 15th. Hours can change, so confirm with each venue before heading out.
Denver Milk Market Food Hall
Milk Market Hours, Brunch and Reservations
The hall is open Monday to Thursday 11 a.m.-8 p.m., Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-9 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.-8 p.m. Brunch runs on Sunday only, 11 a.m.-1 p.m. It is closed Monday through Saturday. Denver Milk Market takes reservations, which helps a group sit together instead of sorting seats vendor by vendor. It also has outdoor seating and live music, so a longer stay on the patio is an option, with music to linger over.
Coors Field Ballpark Tour and Game-Day Hours
Coors Field is the 76-acre home of the Colorado Rockies, and some seats look toward the Rocky Mountains. MLB lists it as the Rockies' ballpark , the team's home since 1995. The Coors Field Ballpark Tour runs every day at 10 AM, so a visit does not depend on a home game. Regular hours are Monday to Friday 11 a.m.-9 p.m. On game days the hours run from 10 a.m. to late. Happy hour is Monday to Friday 3 p.m.-6 p.m. Google rates the park 4.7 of 5 from 32942 ratings. For home dates, check the Denver sports schedule .
Rooftops and a Brewpub Near the Ballpark
From the ballpark gate at 2001 Blake St, the next stop along Blake St is Tap Fourteen Rooftop at 1920 Blake St. The Tap Fourteen Rooftop site says the bar sits on the rooftop of Hayter's & Co, 1/2 block from Coors Field. It pours 70 Colorado craft beers on draft and also serves crafted cocktails, with skyline views from the rooftop patio. Brunch, live music, coffee and reservations are listed too.
The second stop is 1634 18th St, where Wynkoop Brewing Company calls itself Colorado's first brewpub, per its site. It serves craft beers and New American pub grub. Hours are Monday to Thursday 11 a.m.-midnight, Friday and Saturday 11 a.m.-1 a.m., and Sunday 11 a.m.-midnight. Weekday happy hour runs 3 p.m.-6 p.m. Outdoor seating and reservations are both listed.
Dinner and Stand-Up Evenings
The evening stops are on Larimer St and 15th St. Rioja Larimer Square Patio is at 1431 Larimer St. The Rioja site lists Mediterranean dishes and wines. Brunch runs Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. and is closed Monday through Friday. Reservations are taken, and outdoor seating and dessert are listed. Google rates it 4.6 of 5 from 2414 ratings.
Next, at 1226 15th Street, is Comedy Works, an intimate basement space that Google describes as a stand-up bastion presenting famed comedians along with up-and-comers. Showtimes vary, and the Comedy Works site is the place to check them. The club takes reservations, serves beer, wine and cocktails, and is good for groups. Google rates it 4.3 of 5 from 2460 ratings.
Getting There and Parking
Each stop has its own parking, and none of the sources describe rail service or shuttle routes to these blocks, so plan the arrival around the street parking and garages below.
- Coors Field, 2001 Blake St: free street parking, paid street parking and paid garage parking.
- Tap Fourteen Rooftop, 1920 Blake St: paid street parking and paid garage parking. The entrance and seating are wheelchair accessible.
- Rioja Larimer Square Patio, 1431 Larimer St: paid street parking, paid garage parking and valet parking.
- Comedy Works, 1226 15th Street: free street parking and paid street parking, with a wheelchair accessible entrance.
Coors Field and Tap Fourteen share Blake St, so one parking choice can cover both.
Who Each Stop Suits
The 10 AM ballpark tour, offered every day, suits a visitor who wants the park without a ticketed game. Denver Milk Market takes reservations, which helps groups. Comedy Works is listed as good for groups too, and it also takes reservations. Wynkoop and Tap Fourteen both list reservations alongside outdoor seating, so either works for a table plan before or after a game. For a first day, start with the 10 AM tour, then head to the Milk Market for Sunday brunch from 11 a.m.
Updated 2026-10-14: removed unsourced counts and distances; named Tap Fourteen's own site for its rooftop details; kept the Coors Field tour, hours and parking.
