ViewHouse (local host event)

*Add-on event: SOLD OUT
The Arc of Colorado and our 14 local chapters invite you to join us in Denver’s historic lower downtown neighborhood. We will gather at one of Colorado’s local favorite roof top restaurants, ViewHouse, located right next to the beautifully constructed baseball stadium, Coors Field. The purchase of this ticket will include drinks and food and a chartered ride to and from the hotel.
If you decide to skip the charter bus, you can take advantage of the free shuttle buses, dubbed the MallRide, which travel up and down the famous 16th Street Mall. The buses take you throughout the city from uptown all the way to lower downtown where you can check out other hot spots where Denverites love to eat and drink.
