Dining & drinks: rooftop fire vs neighborhood cantina

Populus – Dining & drinks

Populus centers dining on seasonally driven Mountain West menus and a rooftop live-fire program.

  • Pasque — ground-floor seasonal American restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, dinner (hours posted)
  • Stellar Jay — rooftop live-fire restaurant and bar with shared plates and skyline/Rocky Mountain views
  • Little Owl Coffee — two-floor lobby café for espresso, creative lattes, and pastries

Populus is best if you want curated, chef-led seasonal menus plus a public rooftop dining destination.

The Maven Hotel at Dairy Block – Dining & drinks

The Maven focuses on a neighborhood dining and bar program tied to Dairy Block’s social scene.

  • Kachina Cantina serves lunch and dinner on site; a coffee shop/cafe is available for daytime bites
  • Two bars/lounges on property for evening drinks and socializing

  • No public pool listed in supplier amenities
  • Easy walking access to nearby entertainment (Coors Field, Union Station, McGregor Square)
