Tailgating is a lot of fun, but let’s be honest—it’s also a lot of work. There’s the menu planning, grocery shopping, packing the coolers, packing the car, setting everything up, arguing over who forgot the napkins, and don’t even get us started on the ever-present fear of running out of beer (gasp!). Our suggestion? Make it easy on yourselves and treat the gang to a pre-game outing! And we’ve got plenty of ideas to get you started.
Kick off game day the right way with brunch in the heart of Lower Denver (or LoDo to the locals). You’re gonna flip for the cinnamon cronuts, breakfast dogs, and bottomless mimosas. But best of all, The OG is right in McGregor Square, which means after a delicious meal you can mosey on down to the plaza to watch the big game on a 66-foot LED screen. Can you beat that? We didn’t think so.
Special features: A unique and craveable menu; fun, funky cocktails; a location that can’t be beat on game day
Duration: 2 hours
Whether you’re pregaming before you head to the stadium or having a watch party at home, a private Hibachi meal is going to be a winner. Think wild party, sake bombs galore (BYOB, of course), and a professional chef dishing out amazing eats that are worthy of the show. Just provide a sick space, some tables and chairs, and let the good vibes take over.
Special features: Hibachi at your rental/home; BYOB; customizable decorations
Group size and duration: 1 hour 15 minutes, minimum 10 guests
When you really want to let loose, it’s gotta be drag brunch! And Diva Royale is one of our absolute favorites of all time. The queens are top-notch and will have your whole group laughing yourselves silly, all while filling your bellies with hearty breakfast goodies and all the cocktails you can handle. Just try to make sure you don’t have so much fun you miss the kickoff!
Special features: Get the good times rolling before the game; queens do hilarious celebrity impersonations; a unique addition to any weekend itinerary
Duration and party size: 1 hour; VIP group discounts available for parties up to 10 and parties up to 15 guests
If you like marijuana, take note: This class lets you get high and make art at the same time. It’s a new take on the tried-and-true paint and sip classes and we are *here for it.* Just bring your own cannabis in any form and you’ll get an 11x14 canvas and all the supplies you need to create your heart out. Not great at painting? No biggie! The point of this event is to relax, play, and get lost in the process of creation. (Which is pretty easy to do after a weed brownie, you know?)
Special features: All art supplies provided; cannabis is BYO and is encouraged, but not required; good times guaranteed
Duration: 1.5 hours
