This historic block, located in downtown Denver’s LoDo neighborhood, was once home to Windsor Dairy and is now a vibrant micro-district that boasts 11 shops, 19 restaurants, eight bars, a luxury coworking space, and a 172-room hotel. A stomping ground for tastemakers, fun seekers and seasoned regulars, Dairy Block is your Denver destination found. From the enticing atmosphere of The Alley to the local culinary concepts at Denver Milk Market – Dairy Block comes to life the more you explore.
A thoughtful mix of chefs, artisans and cocktail crafters come together to create a delicious experience.
From Colorado originals to uncommon wares, craftsmanship reigns supreme in the inspired retail selection.
The Maven at Dairy Block is a stunning independent hotel featuring loft-style rooms — each accented with rich colors and expert design.
