About North Capitol Hill / Uptown
This hip district has firmly established itself as a capital of "cool," just east of downtown. Restaurant Row, the stretch of 17th Avenue running from Broadway to City Park, is lined with cafes, bistros, pubs, fine dining and LGBTQ-friendly bars - almost all with outdoor patios. From a few rounds of ping pong at Ace Eat Serve to drinks, dining and dessert at Chef Keegan Gerhard's D Bar, Uptown is the epicenter for tempting taste buds.
It's also where you'll find Denver's largest green space, City Park. City Park offers free jazz every Sunday in the summer during City Park Jazz and is home to two of the city's most popular attractions - the Denver Zoo and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
