Hotels & travel notes

A city about 10 km north of the venue in a straight line, with four of this guide's five hotels and three of its five restaurants, and an RTD rail and bus route from Denver International Airport (DEN).

Table Mountain Inn and Woody's Wood-Fired Pizza are on Washington Avenue, about 60 m apart in a straight line, with The Golden Mill food hall on Ford Street and Cannonball Creek Brewing on North Washington Avenue. The free Ore Cart shuttle and RTD Route 17 link downtown Golden to the W Line's last stop.

To the venue
From DEN, ride RTD's A Line to Denver Union Station, then the W Line to its last stop, Jefferson County Government Center–Golden Station. RTD's Route 17 bus or the free Ore Cart shuttle's Tungsten Route covers the last 2.5 miles or so into downtown Golden. Rideshare and rental cars are also available at DEN; no official drive time is published.
After the show

The tradeoff
Downtown Golden hotels are 9–12 km from the venue in a straight line, and farther by road, so you still need a car, a rideshare or a hotel-run shuttle to reach a show.
