( 303-297-2700; www.wynkoop.com ; 1634 18th St; mains $9-13; 11am-2am Mon-Sat, to midnight Sun;
44, 48 RTD) Wynkoop's Rail Yard Ale is the city's most celebrated red ale, and beer fans file
into this spacious brewpub to knock them back while tossing darts, shooting pool or tak-
ing in the breeze on the wide porch. The taps change with the season and the menu offers
passable pub standards.
There's some local history here, too. Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and a
group of developers founded the brewpub in 1988, kicking off the urban renewal that took
LoDo from sketchy warehouse district to the luminary upscale digs of today. The base-
ment of the brewery hosts a long-running sketch comedy show on the weekends, and the
jokes are appropriate for all ages. Call ahead for Saturday brewery tours.

High fives and hollers punctuate the scene when the Rockies triumph and beer drinkers
file in to forget an afternoon of drinking Coors at the ball park. There are - count 'em -
80-plus beers on tap and the bottle list has almost 150. With all the local favorites, this is
the place to drink beer downtown.

Sq wine bar is decked out in wine labels and posters, with dim lighting and gentle music.
It looks so bespoke it's surprising to learn it's a chain (Dallas, Houston); there's another
Denver branch at Park Meadows.
