Denver Beer Co. Canworks is a production brewery and taproom housed in an 11,000-square-foot warehouse at 4455 Jason Street in Denver's Sunnyside neighborhood. The space puts guests right next to the action — there is no barrier between the taproom and the brewhouse, so visitors can watch the brewers at work while sampling a rotating selection of Denver Beer Co. beers. Tours of the facility run every hour on the hour, accommodating up to 15 guests per guided session; private tours are available for smaller groups. Beyond the brewery experience, the taproom doubles as an event space hosting ticketed concerts, comedy shows, community markets, and private gatherings against a backdrop of stainless fermenters and industrial warehouse architecture. The taproom is equipped with indoor cornhole, giant Jenga, and shuffleboard, and features a TV that broadcasts Broncos games with $3 pint specials. Canworks is open Thursday through Friday from 4–9 pm and Saturday through Sunday from 2–8 pm.

Founded in 1884, the Denver Athletic Club is one of the oldest and largest private city clubs in the United States, located at 1325 Glenarm Place in the heart of downtown Denver. The club has called its current corner address at 14th and Glenarm home since 1890, with a storied history of growth, renovation, and recognition — including a Harper's Weekly nod in 1898 as "the first substantial institution of an athletic nature" in the region. Today it holds Platinum Clubs of America certification and serves more than 2,000 members. The club offers over 25,000 square feet of event space across more than nine distinct venues, accommodating gatherings from intimate board meetings of 10 to rooftop celebrations and grand ballroom events of up to 400 guests. Spaces range from the open-air Sundeck with downtown skyline views to the soaring-ceilinged Grand Ballroom, a historic Bowling Alley, and sun-filled meeting rooms. Full-service in-house catering and a dedicated events team support all occasions, from weddings and fundraisers to corporate meetings and social celebrations. The venue is ADA-compliant and open to both members and non-members.
