The Church
Part of the "SoCo" (South of Colfax) club district, the Church is one of the most popular dance clubs in the city, and as its name suggests, is housed in a former Episcopalian church. That however, does not prevent hundreds if not thousands of people from descending on the dance floor every night to shake what God has given them.
Drink
City O City
You will find a changing handful of unusual brews on tap. Grab a blueberry muffin or the vegan buffalo wings (which are excellent - and you can eat them without having to worry about a bone!) and people watch.

Levən Deli
Leven
A bakery with wine and a deli counter, or a deli with an active oven? Either way, the baked goods and sandwiches are excellent. At 11am, the menu switches from breakfast to lunch. Outdoor seating is glorious in warm sunny weather.

Clyfford Still Museum
Clyfford Still was in the first generation of US abstract expressionist artist of the early-mid 20th century. He pioneered the path which Rothko, Pollock, and others followed. But Still was not concerned with fame or sales, which is why you have heard of the others but not Still. And so he kept most of his works, and his will called for a city to create a museum to exhibit the whole collection, intact, which was a very Still move. Denver rose to the challenge, and the result is this museum: fascinating architecture with fascinating contents. The curators are interested not just in Still's work but in the questions it raises, such as how to preserve forever drawings which fade with light and paintings which darken with time.
