    The Dairy Block
    Elizabeth S.

    It was a Denver night stroll and walked on the Dairy Block. There were beautiful murals to look at the lights and hanging decor was very artistic. There were lots of cafe and restaurants as well. The outside patio for dining was so chic.

    Dairy block is a fun area in Denver with bars and bites, colorful graffiti art and great vibes. Walk around the area, grab a bite to eat, sit outside on a warm day and take it all in. Lots to choose from

    The epitome of the word "hipster." Such a fun location to check out if you're ever in Denver. So many eateries and little shops to explore. We always make it a point to come and walk around the dairy block whenever we find ourselves in Denver.

    Sat at the bar in the middle and had the tastiest bday espresso martinis! Yum! Fast friendly service to boot! Oh, and the comfiest bar seats- which I find can be hard to find!!

    Quite enjoyed visiting Dairy Block. Connected to the hotel I was staying in while visiting Denver, Dairy Block has a range of restaurants, bars, bakeries, and shopping. There is a good bit of seating for folks to do work, take meetings, enjoy a cup of coffee, etc. That said, diversity is lacking in this area so it would have been nice to see work from artists of different racial and cultural backgrounds. Nonetheless, it's a cozy stroll and even more so if you want to linger and have a beer or drink.

    Tucked just outside Denver Milk Market, this quaint little alley way is what Instagram dreams are made of! After hopping around downtown Denver, our group made our way over to take a look around and grab some ice cream for my nephew. Once the goods were secured, we happily noshed on our ice cream in the Dairy Block alley which was filled with cute decor, white string lights and ample seating! When exploring downtown, I'd easily stop here again!

    Carne asada burrito bowl from Ghost Tortilla.

    I spent $22 on a burrito bowl from Ghost Tortilla. And it wasn't very good. I'm just annoyed with this place. When I visited, I had to order from my phone via Toast. I think I could order from a server too, but I didn't have the time for that. Ok. Whatever. Toast app didn't work. After spending 5 minutes trying to get the QR code to work, I finally started the ordering process only to find that half the toppings on the menu written above the Ghost Tortilla area (I dunno even know what to call it - it isn't a storefront because you can't buy anything there) aren't even on the Toast menu. And even after ordering, the guy making the bowl was asking me about substitutions because he didn't even have the stuff listed on the Toast menu. I made the mistake of getting lettuce and most of my burrito bowl was lettuce. The carne asada was nasty and chewy. I had to spit some of it out. But the ordering process was what I found the most annoying. If quick service ordering is going to be app based, make sure the app matches the restaurant menu. Or at least what the restaurant had available. Plus the Toast website didn't tell me about the CHP thing that Bonanno does. So I tipped 22% on top of the 22% I already tipped through the mandatory CHP thing. Ugh. That's how an overpriced $14 burrito bowl became $22. I have no problem with tipping. Just tell me if I'm already tipping so I don't tip 50% or something crazy like a stalker. I appreciate that people were in here drinking at 2 in the afternoon. My kind of people! And the service was super friendly. At least 2 people asked me if I wanted water to go with my sad burrito bowl. Nevertheless, I think I'll stick to a liquid diet if I come here again. And try to remember the CHP thing.

    One of the larger food courts I've visited in Denver. One section connects with a hotel, and leads to a marketplace with multiple offerings. The alley has picnic tables and patios with music on the weekends during warmer months. Across the alley are shops and some more dining options. Metered parking available and two garages across the street.

    Confusion at its finest
    Christina R.

    I was super excited to see these converted warehouses turned into a space that's filled with art, food and more. And don't get me wrong, it's not a terrible place but there are some drawbacks in addition to the cool spaces. The art is pretty cool. I mean there are a lot of places to take pics and it's super cute. I can see an "influencer" taking a lot of pics here. The space itself is a bit cramped and confusing. The indoor/outdoor aspect isn't played up correctly and getting in and out is weird. There are so many signs saying you need your vaccination card but we didn't have ours on us (forgot it in the hotel room) and no one asked for it. We walked though thinking we'd get something to eat or drink but nothing looked appealing. It was also crowded, but no crowded. Like there are tables in the weirdest places. Pricing is also INSANE. I can't get down with spending so much and not having it delivered to my table for free. No way no how.

    Dairy Block is one of my favorite sections of Denver! Often confused with Milk Market (which is part of Dairy Block) it feels like a secret getaway within the bustle of Downtown. I first found out about it through the Deviation Distilling Yelp Elite event, and I've been bringing people around ever since, primarily eating at Kachina and drinking at Seven Grand. There's art and music on First Fridays, which I've enjoyed spontaneously. Lots of different options for food and drink overall, many of them spilling out into the alleyway and enticing passerbys with upbeat vibes. Street parking can be a pain depending on the time of day, but Uber/Lyft is a great option. This will always be a solid, 5-star, go-to area for lunch, dinner, and happy hour!

    Snowy day with heaters!

    Wow oh wow. This is hands down my favorite block in all of Denver! I've been many times for everything from LoDough bakery to Westbound & Down brewery. It's a blast to take a stroll down and check out all the art. There is tons to see. Even if you don't stop in any of the businesses it's a great walk. All the businesses along this block are truly great. 10/10 suggest. The vibes are great!

    Dairy Block is super cute, if a little small. Meters are free on Sunday for parking, if you're good at parallel parking (I am so not, so if you see someone at a bad angle- mind your business!) We came for the Apres holiday market, which again, is small. Loved the decor, but if you're not already downtown for something, I wouldn't say it is special enough to brave the horrors. Really cute shops, the coffee was good, and the food smelled great. There's a food hall inside, but bring your vax card and id. They had drag bingo going on at one of the restaurants when we came by around noon on a Sunday, and it sounded fun!

    Great place to walk around for 20 minutes, but nothing more. Most of the rentable areas where closed, not even rented. If you are a day drinker, its a great place to bar hop. If you want a place to hang at night, great place to bar hop. Anything else (i.e., shopping) No good. Great photo opportunity with all the cool art! I just wish there was more to do and look at. You can literally walk the entire corner in minutes.

    Ask the Community - Dairy Block

    Are there any vegan options?

    Is this a food hall concept or something different?

    I'm not sure of the exact definition of a "food hall," but it is terrific in that you have a lot of food options, and everyone in your party can explore their food choices without being limited. Each of the shops are priced closely to each other too.

We weren't quite sure where to enter from the back parking lot, but we saw a "Wine Tasting This Way" sign that led us through an area being set up for a wedding...whoops! Not sure if the sign had been moved or simply hadn't been moved for the wedding. Once we made our way to the tasting area, it was extremely busy and we had no idea where or how to check in. We eventually asked someone who came up to the register to check out another guest, and they promptly got us checked in. The tasting itself was nice, we tasted about 20 diff wines, and we had a lovely girl serving us. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was as first time visitors, we weren't given any info about how the tasting experience worked. It took about an hour and a half, and we didn't receive the advertised tour that was included. After the tasting, we were ready to purchase some wine and waited behind another couple who was checking out. However, no one ever acknowledged us or came over to help us check out. I think this place is probably great, but the disorganized check-in, lack of clear signage, and inattentive staff made the experience more difficult. As first time visitors, we would have loved a little more guidance.

Then when he did acknowledge me and I stated I would sit at the bar, it took several minutes for the bartender to acknowledge me. The staff was busy speaking to each other and doing side work. Once I was acknowledged, things started getting a little better. When I arrived during breakfast/brunch, I was informed they were in the middle of a menu change, so my choices were limited. Breakfast items include bacon and burritos. I started off with a charcuterie board (though I had asked for a fromage board). This was not only because I wanted some tasty cheese, but I was trying to kill time until the lunch/dinner menu started. The board was a great board, two different meats, three cheeses, a loaf of bread, some nuts and jellies. But it was 40 dollars! I had a few small plates (which was still a lot of food). I had a melon and cucumber salad, which was a good palate cleanser. I also had the roasted king mushrooms, which were underwhelming with no seasoning, and they were a little chewy. The best thing was the wild boar meatballs, which were seasoned really well and in a savory, delicious marinara sauce. All the cocktails were fruity (but not sweet) and refreshing. I had one that was carrot based (Kiss my Carrot with tequila, cointreau, carrot, orange, and ginger), one that had pineapple flavor (paper boat with rum, falernum, aperol, lemon, pineapple), and the smoky smoke and flower (hibiscus mezcal, cointreau, pama, rose water). This spot is a winery, so they have a large wine list. They have handhelds like burgers and flatbreads. Starters like artichoke dip and bruschetta. Some of the current entrees, which might change, are hanger steak, chilean salmon, cauliflower steak. They had a gnocchi dish I was interested in, but it's already been removed from the menu. The restaurant is classy and just like a winery is expected to be. The food is pretty good. But the service was really subpar.

We loved the ambiance, feeling like we'd really discovered a gem off the beaten track, pun intended. By joining the club, it was a monthly excuse to plan a special night out to what became one of our favorite places for date night.

The lights were still on, so we didn't realize our mistake, until they'd already invited us in to exchange our monthly growler with such warmth. Super nice people, reflecting the vibe we always felt on our other visits. The staff echoes that disposition, always friendly and knowledgeable. Though the winery isn't on-site, I've always been impressed with their tasting experience. I've now been a member for over 5 years, going in at least once a month, and they still suggest trying seasonal options and have broadened my palette... Though my ex and I have parted ways for a long while now and he moved away, he's kept our membership current, calling it my "alimony," and a nod to remembering the good times we had together. I recommend Bigsby's for all the good memories for all the folks, be it a lazy summer afternoon on the patio or a cozy evening in the lounge area with a glass of red when it's cold outside!

Scoring is backwards from traditional golf, so you'll want as many points as you can to win.

This is a timed, coursed dinner where the entire room sits and eats together, so arriving on time is essential. The format creates a restaurant wide dinner party feel, which sets the tone for the night. Everything feels intentional, from the pacing to the service to the design of the space. The menu changes often and is never repeated, which makes the experience feel special and creative rather than formulaic. Standout dishes for me included the duck doughnut, the wood ear French toast, the venison burger, and the leek cappuccino. The kanpachi crudo and scallop with tamarind were also beautifully balanced, and desserts like Cash's Apple and The Sphere were thoughtful finishes rather than an afterthought. One of the more memorable details was the menu book at the end of the night, featuring the chef's original sketches of the dishes. It's a small touch that really reinforces how personal and considered the experience is.
