Even though our third neighborhood is the closest we have visited to downtown, it still remains rather quiet. The feel of the area is definitely different and varies much from block to block. On some lots all you will encounter are surface parking lots (and old ones at that), some lots will be old boutique shops, and some lots will be full of expensive high rises or multi-unit residences. In between a few of the residential high rises was a multi-unit residence that I found particularly delightful. It was definitively modern yet not too ornate, or so it appeared on the outside. It was for sale and from the advertising website the inside appeared rather fancy and was much larger than I had expected. It may have been a bit beyond my price point.
The North side of the neighborhood also has a few artistic museums. The Denver Art Museum, the Clyfford Still Museum, and the History Colorado Center are all located there, as well as the very nice Denver Library. These institutions stand in contrast to the old asphalt parking lots that lay adjacent.
The Golden Triangle is certainly a unique area. Reasonably so, one of the spots I have frequented in the area is rather unique itself. Pints Pub, located on the edge of the neighborhood near the art museums, is a little place modeled after a British drinking establishment. With some Denver flair they brew their own beers (a few of them being live beers) and maintain a large whisky selection. They boast, “This is the world’s largest single malt selection outside Britain” though, once again I have to admit, sources were not checked. World records aside, this locale has a great selection of beverages from which to choose and a fantastic environment from the eclectic collection of items from across the United Kingdom to the occasional bagpipe tune. The barstools are cozy and the floors are old and wooden.

An ale or a lager
I’ll raise a toast
With a malted roast
