There is a bunch of stuff to do. The question is where are you staying? If you are staying near DIA you aren't going to be able to do much. If you are staying in the city that, of course, is a different story
Casa Bonita - The food sucks, but it is a great, if somewhat weird, experience.
Noa Noa - Really great Mexican food.
Gabors - Good jukebox, pretty good drinks, pool.
Thin Man - Pretty good bar on 17th, extremely strong drinks, Jesus motif.
Watercourse - Pretty awesome veggie food.
Famous Pizza - Name says it all.
of course if you want to go to shows I would recommend the following;
Benders - www.benderstavern.com
Hi-Dive - www.hi-dive.com
Larimer Lounge - www.larimerlounge.com
Of course for record stores, there is Wax Trax, which is kind of meh. Twist & Shout is nice, but big, and sometimes a pain in the ass to navigate through, especially on the weekends.
Or you could just say "fuck it," rent a car, and go up to the mountains. I generally recommend that over anything else. Have fun & feel free to PM if you need more info or recommendations.
