Denver's late-night scene centers on LoDo, RiNo, and Colfax Avenue. When 2am last call hits, the city converges on taquerias, diners, and late-night pizza spots. Altitude makes hangovers worse—eat accordingly.

Denver Late Night Tips
- Altitude is real: Drinks hit harder. Eat more, drink water.
- Colfax is the strip: 24-hour diners and late-night spots line the avenue.
- LoDo closes at 2am: Know where you're going before last call.
- Uber home: DUI enforcement is serious in Colorado.
