Westbound & Down

Neighborhood: LoDo/Ballpark/Commons Park

1801 Blake St. Denver, CO 80202

Where else in Colorado can you drink beer in an alley? At Westbound & Down's Free Market location in Denver, patrons can grab some of Colorado's most award-winning beer and hang out in the well-kept Dairy Block alley. From IPAs to dark beers, spritzy lagers and Hefeweizen, Westbound manages to offer an array of top-notch options. During GABF time in particular, brewers and fans from around the country descend, and the alley becomes a happening party; perhaps Bamberg's famed Schlenkerla is the only thing that compares. The company also has two brewery locations in Idaho Springs and Lafayette, both of which serve excellent food.
