Location: 18th & Larimer
Also a really fun spot, Urban Putt works well for a casual rehearsal dinner spot or welcome reception. They have a few private spaces, one of them is inside an old box car, but they don't allow private events Fri-Sun due to the demand.

While we all love a good app from Henry's or a marg from Chilis, I always recommend sending your guests to local spots throughout the city - i.e. support small businesses, provide a true local experience, showcase why you call Denver home, etc…
