    I live in Denver. Some suggestions:

    Breweries: Cerebral, Denver Beer Co., Ratio, Spangalang, Crooked Stave (If you like sours, they do them better than anyone in the country IMO)

    Food: Fire on the Mountain for wings, Park Burger for burgers, Angelo's for pasta, Tacos Tequila Whiskey for Mexican

    Record stores: Twist and Shout, Wax Trax

    Hikes: My recommendation is a trail called Independence Trail. It starts at Pence Park in nearby Evergreen. It's never crowded like the Boulder hikes, is pretty short, and has a really good view at the top.

    Would also recommend checking out Union Station, which isn't too far from the venue. The inside was completely redone and there is a nice bar in there. The entire RINO area is really cool for graffiti, plus tons of bars, breweries, and quality restaurants. Also, Blake Street Tavern is a good sports bar and the entire basement is filled with darts, cornhole, pop a shot, etc.
    I would also suggest Trve Brewery and, if you have time, take the tour at Stranahan's Distillery.

    I'm in for Denver, flying in from Chicago. It's my wife's first show and she picked Denver. Looking forward to it. We've only been there a couple of times, but Denver is fun.

    I may have a spare for Denver. It's yours if you want it.

    New tenclub member here.. Been in Denver for a little over two years now and this will be my 2nd PJ show (Philly 2016).. Perhaps a dumb question, but what's the "Wishlist gathering"?  Would love to meet up with some fellow fans if that's some kind of organized fan event..

    Anyway, couldn't be more excited for it and Denver is an awesome place for anybody traveling from out of town.  To the guy who said Rosenbergs best bagels west of the Hudson: couldn't agree more.  Moved out from Philly / Jersey area and Rosenbergs honestly beats most places back home.  Even serves pork roll.  Must stop place for a breakfast sandwich. Hopefully weather will be warming up around April time as there's tons of really cool outdoor / rooftop bars all over Denver nowadays (54thirty, Viewhouse, Jacksons, Tap 14, the list goes on).

    I can't fucking wait for April 9th

    Wishlist gathering is an event that takes place the day of each PJ show at a local establishment.  A group of locals coordinate with the Wishlist foundation and identify local charities to share some of the day's donations from PJ raffles and give-aways.  always a good time and great to support the local community and catch up with fellow concert goers.

    My Denver tix came in during a meeting this morning at work, I nearly had to leave the room. St. Louis is up tomorrow and if I get those I’m all set. I did BA for both.

    Got Denied my Denver tix request.  Fan club since 2013 but Fan since 1993 when I was 13.  I live in Loveland, about an hour north of Denver.  If anyone is going to looking to rid of one or more of their GA tix, please let me know.  I have a 2013 PIttsburgh poster that you can look at in person (but you can't have).

    I'm in the building, don't know where. Decided to spend the entire week, Saturday-Saturday, because I'm on Spring Break. Honestly, for the rest of the week besides the concert, maybe all I will do is smoke pot, take naps, and order take out. It's been a rough couple of years taking care of my elderly mother. Having an entire week where I am not responsible for another human being will be heavenly. I've had only two other breaks since May 2017. And I just turned 50, so there's that. Thank you, Pearl Jam, for giving me something to look forward. I can't wait!

    IF you need a smoke buddy with a 20-something perspective on life that maybe you can help coach, my door is always open

    Flying from NY - haven't been to Denver in 23 years.  Super excited to do all the things I possibly can (I'll be able to spend about 4-5 days in town).  Thanks for all the suggestions, and I'm always down to meet up with people.  MIGHT have an extra ticket, will keep people posted.  

    Cheers!

    Hoping to see you all in Denver! Am seeking one floating GA to join two of my friends who were lucky to receive a pair. If anyone wants to hang with us, is going solo and has a GA to sell to a fellow fan- please get in touch!

    Hi All,
    got my confirmation! BA first choice (269***). see you there!

    In addition to all the other suggestions, my personal favorite place is the botanical garden, and a great art museum is el museo de las americas. Also, I personally don’t think it is difficult to get around the city. Between RTD busses and light rails, scooters, the free 16th street bus, and Uber/lyft, you can skip renting a car unless you want to go out of the city. 

    If you’re flying in, you can take the light rail from the airport to union station for $10. 

    16th street mall is weird - very touristy with a your choice of high priced, mediocre restaurants, a lot of homelessness (often with clear mental health issues), panhandling, and public weed smoking. However, there are a lot of street performers that can be entertaining especially the robot guy. 

    If you prefer a more low key/dive bar, Williams tavern is a place I like - one pool table and a sign up white board that will get you mixing with some cool folks. Also, Lakeview lounge has a local/regulars feel (coors on draft and mystery shots) with a nice patio overlooking Sloan’s lake and the city skyline; they’re open at 7am too.

    my last suggestions to check out are the Santa Fe arts district, pearl street, and there are also a lot of cool bars on south broadway with live music.

    I only put in for one show, Denver and went for GA or bust, so we’re super happy to get them. Seems like there’s lots of hotels within a mile or so of the venue, is this a decent/fun area to stay?

    The pepsi center is right next to downtown. You can walk or Uber anywhere from there so any hotel downtown is centrally located to the venue and great parts of the city.

    Yes, it’s a great spot, easy to take light rail or u we or just walk. We do get blizzards in April so hopefully it’s 75 and sunny that day.
