For over 100 years, Union Station has remained one of Denver’s most defining landmarks, surviving both fire and flood and standing proud amidst an ever-evolving city skyline. Since 1881, this timeless icon has been a hub of our beloved bustling downtown area, welcoming visitors, shuttling locals, and providing a place of respite for weary travelers. Following its immaculate re-conception, Union Station opened its door in 2014 to reveal a wonderfully eclectic assortment of restaurants, bars, and shops where tourists and locals alike can while away the hours. This train station in Denver has stood the test of time and is well worth visiting again and again.
Union Station has been affectionately called "Denver's Living Room" and is a uniquely designed one stop shop where you can sample a variety of Colorado's culinary treasures all under one roof - or sunny outdoor patio.
