Your friend from back home is getting married and you’ve been trying to get her to visit you in Denver for the past 8 months. She asks you to be her maid of honor. You’re looking forward to the dress shopping and fittings, the bridal shower and holding the banquet at the wedding. But what you’re really fired up about is throwing an epic bachelorette party in Denver! Use this guide to Denver’s top 5 bachelorette party activities to help you plan the most epic bachelorette party, fit only for a bride to be.
1. The Hornet – Denver loves an excellent brunch, and The Hornet on South Broadway delivers in spades. While the wait for a table can be a bit long, the bridal party can always head to the bar for a drink or mix your own at the $2 build-your-own Bloody Mary bar! If you show up at The Hornet a bit later in the day, not to worry: lunch and dinner are exceptional, and the location on the corner of 1st Ave and Broadway makes for great people watching. The Hornet can accommodate large parties and is a great stop for any bachelorette party in Denver.
Price: $10 salads, $12 sandwiches/burgers, $17 entrees

2. Red Rocks – Ask Denver locals and they’ll tell you that one of their favorite places in Denver is Red Rocks Amphitheater and Park. Located 10 miles west of Denver, the 800 acre park is widely regarded as one of the greatest music venues in the world. But that doesn’t mean Red Rocks is only worth visiting for a show. You can go during the daytime to enjoy the vista, or Yoga on the Rocks would be great fun for a bridal party!
Price: Free entry, concerts and Yoga on the Rocks are ticketed events.
