Taylor Swift Eras Tour: Restaurant Specials and Events
Taylor Swift Week in Denver has begun, with two back to back sold out shows on the horizon, Swiftie fever is at an all time high in preparation for the event. Some local bars and restaurants have taken advantage the hype to promote special cocktails and menus and special events for the occasion.
Drink Specials
Three Saints Revival
Enter the pink and purple dreamscape straight out of the Lover Era at Three Saints Revival (1801 Wewatta St.) to enjoy two cocktails created just for the July 14-15 tour stops. Named for fan favorite Midnights song, the Lavender Haze features gin that’s infused with peaflower and flavors from lemon, lavender syrup and bubbly prosecco.
In your 1989 Era? Enjoy the “Bad Blood Margarita” and take a look what you’ve done. The Taylor-made cocktail brings together Blanco Tequila, lime, desert pear syrup and orange liquor in a red margarita to get your ready for the show. Both cocktails are available on July 14 -15 only.

Post Show Eats
Federales
Pull up to Federales (2901 Larimer St.) with your Lovers and stir up some Swiftie sensation no matter what Era you’re in. Forget your Champagne Problems with flutes of Colorado-owned and operated Scarpetta Prosecco or channel your inner Este with a glass of crisp white wine. Lover of Tequila? Taylor, too. In a 2012 interview with Glamour she shared her go-to tequila is Casamigos Blanco and we know All Too Well that’s the perfect way to celebrate with your fellow Swifities, so ring in a round of ice shots in honor of Miss Americana. We’ll meet you at midnight post-show where the kitchen is open on Friday and Saturday 11pm - 1am for the late night menu with indulgent late night snacks like Crispy Chicken Taquitos, Pork & Pineapple Tacos and the famous Gringo Taco Supreme as the perfect way to top off The Best Day.
Barcelona Wine Bar
Before heading to the Taylor Swift concert, grab your girls and say goodbye to your Champagne Problems with a Aperitivos Flight at Barcelona Wine Bar: three half glasses including a champagne-like BarCava sparkling sipper, plus a dry sherry and Red (era) vermouth, served on the rocks with orange garnish. Don't miss the array of Mediterranean-inspired tapas, and come back after the show for post-concert snacks and sips like the Guns 'N Rosés cocktail with brut rosé, Lillet rosé, vodka, peach nectar grapefruit and fresh lemon; Barcelona Wine Bar's kitchen is open late into the night for post-show revelry.
"Opening Day" Places To Celebrate In Denver
One of our favorite days in the Mile High City is Opening Day. Although we haven’t had much to cheer from our hometown Colorado Rockies, we do get to celebrate a few of our favorite restaurants and their special offerings for this celebratory day. Be sure to stop in before, during and after the game to enjoy some of these amazing drinks and food pairings.
Catch the opening day action at Federales (2901 Larimer St), just a 20-minute walk from Coors Field, where the RiNo bar & restaurant is celebrating with a special extended happy hour from 11am - 7pm: special pricing on margaritas, taquitos, nachos, queso and guac; plus $15 beer buckets + $5 Coors Light drafts. You can catch the game on one of the of the 14 wide screen TVs as the Rockies take on the Nationals.
Stop in to 5280 Burger Bar at the Pavilions ahead of the game for some creative takes on stadium nachos like the Ahi Nachos, togarashi dusted ahi tossed in sesame soy with a gingered carrot-cucumber relish on wonton chips; or dig into the Stadium Nachos with 5280’s housemade chips and queso, slow-roasted pulled pork, fresh pico de gallo and house made roasted corn and black bean salsa. Don’t miss the restaurant’s own 5280 Lager to round out your visit.
Drop into Barcelona Wine Bar after the game to celebrate the win (or ignore the loss). It’s a quick walk from the stadium to unwind with friends after the game and enjoy elevated post-game snacks like the spring-forward Harissa Carrots with pistachio pesto, the Chicken Thigh with aji verdi or the Albondigas, spiced meatballs in jamon-tomato sauce and wash it down with a Biodynamic-calendar-inspired Gintonic or unwind with a Bees & Bays (no ABV) cocktail.
Score twists on your ballpark favorites at EDGE Restaurant and EDGE Bar at the Four Seasons Hotel Denver. The swanky bar offers fun takes like the Chicharrones with espelette, lime and salt; Beer Battered Onion Rings with black ‘n’ blue EDGE spice plus Cholula aioli; Bougie Wings with truffle Fresno hot sauce, pickles, and labneh ranch; and the housemade Warm Pretzel Rolls with charcuterie, beer cheese, housemade apricot mustard, grilled fennel sausage and cornichons. Bonus: valet park your car at the hotel and a visit to EDGE nabs you a discounted rate for the evening.
Grab a pre-game sandwich and snacks to-go from Little Finch downtown Denver and make the 10-minute walk to the stadium. Start with a fresh-pressed juice or craft coffee like the Cafe Cajeta to fuel up for the game along with the Curry Chicken Croissant sandwich with herb roasted chicken breast, red onions, celery, golden raisins and curry sauce; or the Southwest Flatbread for on-the-go eats. Don’t forget to grab the white chocolate dipped twinkie on your way out for that seventh-inning stretch snack.
If you can’t make it to the ballpark, a visit to Stanley Marketplace (2501 Dallas St, Aurora) covers all the bases on Opening Day.You’ll feel like you’re at the ballpark at Stanley Beer Hall when you nosh on Southwest Bison Brat or the Warm Pretzel Bites as you catch the game on their multiple big-screen TVs, and there’s no waiting in line at the 51 self-pour taps featuring local beers, wines, cocktails and more.
Follow it up with a visit to Cheluna Brewing Co., for a craft cerveza from the state’s first Latinx-owned brewery, and finally drop by Churreria de Madrid for authentic Spanish churros, a sweet handheld game day snack.
Just down the street from Coors Field, Three Saints Revival offers new-for-Spring dishes for game-goers like the Pork Cheek Casuela with hazelnut picatta and pickled raisins, Risotto with sweet peas and asparagus and the Spicy Greens with chistorro sausage and orange in a mushroom broth. Finally, trade your baseball beer for refreshing cocktails like the bright and fresh Spice Trade or the adventurous and tropical clarified punch, Monarch of the Sea.
Head out of downtown after the game to Cantina Loca for tacos and tequila drinks from James Beard Award nominee Dana Rodriguez. Try a variety of the agave cocktails, from classic or frozen margaritas to the Rosita, made with Rodriguez’s Doña Loca reposado tequila, sweet & dry vermouth, amaro and bitters, and don’t miss building your own Barbacoa, Carne Asada or Pollo Adobado tacos.
