As the iconic National Western Stock Show is in full swing, we’re excited to share a curated guide that highlights where to get outfitted for the beloved event and where to dine and imbibe before or after.

LoDo

Start your day in the heart of Denver’s historic Lower Downtown (LoDo).

Shopping:

• Rockmount Ranch Wear: A LoDo-born business since 1946, discover authentic Western wear, including the classic snap-button shirts worn by cowboys and rock stars alike.
• The Vintage Label: Get rodeo-ready with equestrian-inspired undertones to channel chic cowgirl vibes. And while you’re there, enjoy a personalized hat fitting or pick up a new rancher hat and receive a complimentary skinny scarf and feather with purchase.
•  Blue Ruby Boutique at the Dairy Block: For a fierce yet feminine look, think a handmade leather bootie from the Old Gringo collection full of Western flair or snag a vintage blue denim jumper to stand out for all the right reasons. Grab a denim jacket for the guys, and there’s even something for the littlest cowboys with a cowboy-themed stroller blanket.

Dining:

• Caldéro at McGregor Square: Designed with cowboys in mind, this Southwest-inspired spot offers hearty steaks, spicy green chile and craft cocktails, plus views of Coors Field.
• Terminal Bar at Union Station: An ideal outpost for any cowboy blowing through town, offering Colorado craft beers and favorites like house-made tater tots, baby back ribs and steak frites.
• Seven Grand Whiskey Bar at the Dairy Block: There’s nothing a cowboy likes more than whiskey, so belly up to the bar and browse from the selection of 700+ alongside handcrafted cocktails and local beers on tap.
