One of the most iconic venues in the country. The sound is amazing and the atmosphere is one of a kind.

A historic black neighbourhood in the city that has undergone a transformation over the last decade. Welton Street Cafe is a soul food staple!

The Rockies stadium is a landmark is the city. The teams are always up and down success wise, but it’s always a good time.


Still one of the best museums I’ve ever been to. I don't think I realised how good we had it growing up.

This zoo is a decent drive outside of Denver, but the fact that it's nestled right in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains creates a really dope experience. 

My favourite fast food burger. The Big Daddy bacon burger defined my teenage years, it's great for a late night drunken meal.

This is the mall all the ballers go to in the city, it's got all the high-end brands.
