Hit up Ocean One for dinner.
We grabbed a steak and dinner Cajun pasta. The food was good and at an affordable price. The main draw is the 3 for $10 cocktails. We had several and found that generally they were fine. Only one was out balance.

Just rolled into the hotel and grabbed some pics of this great room.
This place rocks.
Yes the menu is greatly reduced. And there is no social distancing Couldn’t get my favorite burger so went with the sliders and truffle fries.
The food was served quickly. The fries were really good but the sliders were a little over cooked. This is pretty typical with sliders so not really holding that against them. Another party member had the chicken salad. The chicken was typical.
Taking a quick get away to give everyone an update on the strip.
The airport is open and not busy at all. This should be a good trip.
Just realized we had some technical problem with old post not going out. Going to be fixing that soon.
Coming soon a trip to South Carolina turns in to a travel adventure.
So we got in yesterday and this was our first day here. We had some great sightseeing and some good eats.
The day started off at the Denver Botanical Gardens. We loved it. I would definitely recommended dropping by if you have the time. I grabbed a few shots to share but they do not do the flowers or the feel of the place any justice.
We also made a stop at one of the restaurants and picked up a couple teas. They were great and refreshing.
Afterwards we strolled around the Cheery Creek area and ended up at the Cheery Creek Beer Garden. I have to admit I was a little disappointed. The CCBG is actually a hotel bar. In fact guest check into the hotel at the bar. It was different. But the worst part was the lack of selection. I really expect a Beer Garden to not only have open air seating but more than seven beers on tap. But the beer was cold and the staff was nice, so we had a small beer and headed back into the City.
Later that day we ended up at Blue Moon Brewery Company -RiNo. Now this was awsome.
They were a little crowded, so we had a seat at the bar. We lucked out on that one. The bartenders were great. We told them generally what we liked to drink and they were all about trying to help us find a beers we liked. This is also where I realized I love the 10oz pour. I normally only get two beers or a flight at a time, but with the 10oz pour I can have three different beers without increasing my total intake. I should also mention that we ended up having dinner here and it was great. The pretzel bites were great and the burgers were awsome.
One more thing before I sign off. I had no idea that Blue Moon made so many different beers. If you get a chance to visit because I am use you will find something new an different.
Till tomorrow.
So we rolled off the plan and heading for downtown Denver. After a 30 minute Lyft ride we get to the hotel, store or luggage and start hunting for some food.
We had done some research before we came off local establishments to visit. I strongly recommend doing that for every trip. The thing you have to remember is not too over plan and be flexible. Sticking to a schedule can destroy a fun trip.
See walked from the hotel to this establishments and we were well rewarded.
We were quickly seated on a nice shaded patio looking at the train station.
The service was quick and friendly. We tried four of there in house beers and one from another local brewery. All were excellent. Good and unique flavor profiles.
We grabbed a sandwich and a burger. Both were very good. I was ex m especially pleased with the chipotle ranch sauce. It was week balanced and very, very tasty.
If we lived here we would definitely be putting this place on our go to spots.
It’s been a long time in coming but we at DFTBAT have finally got the road. We landed in Denver today after taking a Frontier flight. The flight was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. The plan was pretty empty and the crew were very strict on ensuring everyone was wearing a mask. Other parts of flying Frontier hasn’t changed. I still want to know where they get those tiny trays.
