Denver, affectionately known as Menver, is the capital and largest city in the state of Colorado. I don’t think anyone’s craving a data sheet on Denver but it’s the least I could contribute. Everywhere else I’ve lived or visited has been covered in detail. Good job gentlemen.
Colorado is known for the great outdoors, including snow sports, rock climbing, mountain climbing, hiking, camping, etc. The range of mountains begins just an hour west of Denver. I would say that most people come through as tourists during winter and summer. For the people who live there, there are tons of military jobs (AF base, AF academy nearby, army training,etc). Tech jobs moved in with several tech centers popped up in the 2000s. Healthcare moved in with public hospitals and VA resources. The college student scene is noticeable. However, most of the jobs are still in the outdoors and construction and service industries. For example, there’s a large Purina dog food plant that you can smell from anywhere in town. Rent is dirt cheap if you’re willing to live just outside of the city.
Weather
More unpredictable that anywhere I’ve lived, stateside and abroad. The state has some sort of sun about 275-300 days out of the year. Winters will be from -10F to 50F. That range can be covered in one day from 50F at noon to -10F at night. And random snow can occur that’s not even projected on the weather report. Summers will be from 75F to 100F and the blazing sun does not cool down. If it’s 75F when you leave your house in the morning, it’s only going to get warmer. And random rains will occur frequently in the summer, especially in nearby mountains. Count on it.
Transportation
Most people drive. Parking is cheap. Public transportation doesn’t work well yet, but is expanding. Taxi rides are dirt cheap to most places you need to go to. $5-15.
My background
I’m from a mid-sized West Coast city and consider myself well traveled. Asian. 5’9”. Educated. Athletic physique or muscular depending on who you ask. Spent my mid-20s in Denver from late 2000s to early 2010s at a reputable grad school and a year of work. I’ve been back a couple times to visit and for work.
My thoughts
If you visit or move to the city, you should love the outdoors. You’ll never run out of things to do. Treat running game or banging tons of chicks as a bonus (unless you’re from Wyoming then you may think it’s heaven). The term Menver holds true in terms of ratio, any bar after 10 PM will be largely dude favored in numbers. The problem lies in that on the female side of the ratio there are lots of beastly looking creatures. I’ve met females who’ve moved to Denver specifically for the dating. Sadly, they do find someone. Once again, do not move here for game.
The city is different from most game principles. Don’t suit up here since people just look at you all crazy. Do wear a North Face because it’s what everyone else wears here. I only say that because there are douchebags galore and trashy drunk girls who won’t appreciate a suit. No reason to get the suit spilled on.
Girls
40% White, 40% Latina, 10% Black, 10% everything else. There’s a broad range from the typical fat American which is plentiful to the tall, skinny Midwestern blondes. The latter in not plentiful and if not in a relationship will usually be accompanied by at least one male. There are a lot of transplants, meaning something for everyone. Some Latinas and Blacks can run with the wrong crowd. I hung out with a Latina and ran into two of her exes. The city isn’t that big. You will run into the same people if you go out constantly.
Ultimate Weapon
The best features to game well in Denver in my opinion would be a tall (6’3”+ most people here and tall and girls expect it). White with a bit of scruff or with a touch of dark features to be able to game both Whites and Latinas. Jacked, the city is full of workout fanatics so you’re at a disadvantage if not muscular. If you can rock a beard, this is the place to do it. Be good enough at skiing or snowboarding to hit the slopes hard. Have access to a resort condo if possible.
Breakdown
Lower Downtown (or LoDo)
This is the central business district but comes alive late at night with bars, clubs, and restaurants. This is the “main” nightlife area is if there is one. If there’s a singles scene in the city, it’s here.
Maloney’s – College to mid-20s crowd, largely beer and cheap mixed drinks oriented, average crowd
Tavern/Lodo’s/Viewhouse – These are patio bars right next to Coors Field, really popular in summer day and night. Turn into meat markets with terrible ratios later in the evening, average crowd
Sports Column/Hayter’s – pure sports bars, come if you’re a douche, terrible ratios
Beta Nightclub – EDM club. I don’t know why everyone wants to go here, supposedly been ranked top US club for years running. I’ve heard good music here but lots of bad music, depends on night. Young EDM going crowd. Decent ratio.
Suite 200 – This place used to the shit back in the day as it was the only real nightclub in town. Face control, strict attire, ratio control, but people grew out of it because Denver isn’t really a club type of city. Apparently certain races started bitching about racism though I never had a problem. Average crowd now. $20 for a entry card that you can use to spend $20 on drinks. I used to get numbers and the occasional pull every time here.
Chloe – The new club in town. Same deal and same crowd as Suite 200. Good music. Can’t match Suite 200 back in the day with the city’s best talent. Sometimes you’ll see athletes here.
16th Street Mall – A long, walkable outdoor mall lined with bars and restaurants. Be careful late here late at night.
Broadway
This is the area on Broadway and Lincoln south of Colfax, known for bars and clubs and restaurants. A little more ghetto than LoDo.
Vinyl – 18+ I would’ve loved to come to college in Denver. Cheap drinks everywhere. Good ratio here. But most on this forum are probably too old for this.
The Church – 18+ Same as above. But located in an awesome old church.
2AM – Afterhours spot, but never cared to check it out. Just know it exists.
Punch Bowl Social – The most happening spot in this area on Broadway. A bowling alley outfitted as a bar with an upstairs arcade. The restaurant section is awesome too. Good ratios on certain nights, horrible on other nights. There’s quality here.
Highlands
Up-and-coming living and nightlife location, but not known for the singles scene.
Ale House – another patio, good for day drinking
Cherry Creek
Elway’s – This goes for the same as all the other venues in the area. High-end area in town. Older women, older men with money. Good area for gaming as the older 30+ crowd knows what the deal is
Day Game
Hiking trails if you must. Not my type of women on these trails.
Washington Park – Summer is money here for daygame. Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays you’ll see hundreds of people out here. The best opportunity is to get picked up during a volleyball game. I’m willing to say it here that volleyball is the best way to meet people in town. If you suck at volleyball, you’re in an even better position. I’m actually good after playing HS vball, but noticed that I was always on the court. If you suck, you’ll get subbed in/out. This is primetime to chill on the sidelines and daygame with the girls who are just there to watch or who also suck at playing.
I'll add more if there's any interest in this data sheet.
