    We took the bus over here and at first, didn't know how to get to the inner area. It's not super big. A few eating spots and small vendors. Pretty cool! It wasn't busy for lunch during the week. No wait anywhere. We went to the Mexican/Native American-inspired restaurant and the ice cream spot. Lots of options for everyone! Bathrooms are in the basement and are clean.

    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.
    Holly C.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Decor
    Kara H.

    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!

    Art
    Breaunna O.

    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.

    Chicken sandwich
    Marisa M.

    Dairy block is so cute. A bunch of different types of food from Italian to fried chicken, pizza and burgers. The back alley has breweries and wine places. And it usually has cute decorations hanging up. We decided to sit in the market. You can order online with the QR code at the table or a waiter comes by. We chose the waiter. He was very nice and answered our questions and brought water over. You can order alcoholic drinks with waiter but not on the app. I got the double burger. Classic tasting and very good. My friend got the chicken sandwich and waffle fries. Small amount of fries for $4 but they were thick and crispy. I got gelato after. The gelato place is expensive with a single being $6 but it's more than just one scoop. They filled my cup pretty good. I liked the pistachio but the other flavors I tried were too icy and sweet.

    See all

    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.

The location really can't be beat. You're right in the heart of LoDo. Coors Field is a few blocks from the hotel and Union Station (which connects directly to Denver Airport) is only about a 5 minute walk away. Tons of restaurants, bars, and things to do are all within walking distance, which makes it extremely convenient. When booking, I asked for a high floor, quiet room so I could work. Upon check-in, they honored that request and also upgraded my room from a Journeyman to an Innovator Suite which I greatly appreciated. That upgrade definitely elevated the stay! The Innovator Suite was fantastic. It had two queen beds, two TVs, a full sofa, wet bar, dining table, flexible workspace, and city views overlooking Denver's LoDo District. The bathroom had a large soaking tub, which I had to take advantage off. There's no balcony and while the wet bar includes a small fridge, it's not really functional for anything beyond drinks as there's no space for leftovers or larger items. You also get a token per night to redeem for a free drink at the bar during happy hour, plus free drip coffee in the mornings. Other perks include free churros during social hour, a courtesy car service within a 2 mile radius, and discounts at various shops. There's also a fitness center, although I didn't use it. There were some things missing though: no pool, no spa, housekeeping is by request only, and no breakfast included. Service throughout was excellent. There's 24 hour front desk service and everyone I interacted with was cheerful, helpful, and kind. Overall, a strong stay with great service, a fantastic room upgrade, and an excellent location, even if a few expected amenities were missing for the price. If I had to come back to Denver and the company was covering the bill, I would stay again. The location really can't be beat. If I were coming for a leisure trip with a similar budget, I'd probably look for a hotel with a pool and spa instead. This hotel is best suited for people who want to experience LoDo nightlife, catch a game, or just be right in the middle of everything downtown. The room I was upgraded to was probably much more expensive than what I actually paid, which definitely improved the experience. I'm not sure I would feel the same way if I had stayed in the original room I booked. 4.5 stars rounded down.

If you're looking for a cool hotel a short walk from Union Station, The Maven is a great option. We were easily able to walk from the station with our luggage and our room was ready early! The vibe is very cool, eclectic, and modern. From the Airstream-style trailer by the front desk, where they give our churros at happy hour, to the great decor, to the adjoining food hall and cocktail bar- It was just what we were hoping for. A few notes: - If you want housekeeping, you have to ask for it. We didn't know this and were confused why the room wasn't getting refreshed. *Would love to see some small signage about this in the room or mention it at check-in. - Be ready to jot down all the perks when you arrive- from drink tickets for happy hour at the cocktail bar, to % off at the adjoining restaurant and bar, to a free drip coffee at Huck coffee (technically in the food hall? but literally just across the lobby), these are worth taking advantage of! Overall, a great stay and would recommend to others. Shout-out to Kodiak at the front desk who was lovely with all of our questions!

They had other types of food, obviously, but steak was in plentiful abundance over anything. The housekeeping staff was amazing and on top of their game. The room quality was very good and spacious; larger than most hotels' suites. The in-room bar and mini-fridge were not free despite being labeled an "honor bar." I'm not cheap; I have no issue paying. My issue is the deceptive marketing of the so-called honor bar. The room's furniture was not cheap, but it did appear tacky with the illusion of being of quality. On the positive side, the staff were polite and attentive, and the room was cleaned while I was out. The view was also very impressive. Overall, with all things considered, I'd pick a different hotel; there are better hotels in the immediate area with a lower price tag and the spa is not worth it, despite its attentive and fantastic service.
