Cafe@Netherworld


Catchin' the waves!

(corner of 13th and Pennsylvania Street)
Denver, CO 80203
United States

If you thought a trip to the neighborhood bar would entail a raucous encounter with fellow drinkers, think again! This happening spot in the Capitol Hill neighborhood offers patrons a full bar, restaurant and a few wireless terminals to surf the internet. Those with laptops can also avail of this facility. A pool house and a good old jukebox are some of the things that draw the crowds in here. A 4-to-6p weekday happy hour sees a dollar off all drinks served within. The cherry on the cake? The Internet service is free if you buy food or a drink worth a minimal amount.

Capitol Hill Books


Used & rare books
300 East Colfax Avenue
Denver, CO 80203
United States
+1 303 837 0700
http://www.capitolhillbooks.com
Located across from the State Capitol Building on the edge of downtown, this bookstore is like walking into a cluttered closet of old books. Lined with bookshelves overflowing with used titles in a wealth of genres, this shop has been satisfying literary cravings for 20 years. What started as one small room has blossomed into a 3000 square foot book Mecca. An international antiquarian book search makes this a perfect stop when looking for a rare, first or out of print edition. Postcards, greeting cards and posters are also available.

The annual Sniagrab (bargains spelled backwards) event is how Denver gears up for ski season. It is a huge sale that begins Labor Day weekend.

Completed in 1902 by former Colorado governor James B. Grant, this colonial-style mansion includes over 42 rooms, some up to 60 feet long. The billiard room, bowling alley, auditorium and ballroom testify to the luxury of this wonderland. After Grant's death, the structure was purchased by Albert Humphreys. He installed an extravagant ten-car garage, car wash and gas pump for his Rolls Royces. Originally used as office space, the mansion is now owned and operated by the Colorado Historical Society, and is available for rental.

Watson's Liquor & Grocery


Ice cream with Norman Rockwell
900 Lincoln Street
Denver, CO 80203
United States
+1 303 837 1366
Established in 1951 as a soda fountain and pharmacy, this area landmark is straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting. The soda fountain offers sweet, hand-dipped chocolate milkshakes and serves the extras in the steel mixer. Over 100 microbrews are available for carryout, and an extensive wine department offers wines from around the world. The alcohol selection may seem unusual in this environment, and it is: this shop was "grandfathered in" (allowed to continue established business practices) after Colorado passed a law against selling liquor and groceries in the same place.

Wax Trax


Best local record store
619 East 13th Avenue
(at Washington)
Denver, CO 80203
United States
http://www.waxtraxrecords.com/
One of the few remaining independents left in the city, this music haven looks and sounds the way a record shop should - cluttered and loud. Blaring tunes the radio never spins and stuffed with the latest underground and commercial releases, plus hard to find imports and rarities, this shop is a notable establishment to browse around and catch up on current music happenings. The experienced and knowledgeable staff is always willing to talk shop and offer the perfect recommendation.
