The city of Denver is much more than the popular downtown
neighborhoods filled with restaurants, businesses, and other urban amenities. Each
of Denver’s outlying suburbs boast its own personality and vibe. Littleton is no exception. This
historic southern suburb is home to charming shops, beautiful residences,
tasty restaurants, and plenty of things to do for visitors and residence of all
ages. Explore downtown Littleton with this handy guide.
Breckenridge Brewery
Chill out on the outdoor patio at this well-known brewery.
As one of the first craft breweries in Colorado to gain national attention, Breckenridge Brewery
fills up quickly on weekends. Breck Brewing often has live music, food trucks,
and other events happening all year long. Fall can be enjoyed around the outdoor
fire pits with a nice, pumpkin ale in hand.
SeaQuest
Explore rainforests and learn about the unique desert ecosystem during an interactive tour at
SeaQuest in
Littleton. This organization prioritizes providing a home to injured or ill
animals so they can live out their days in a habitat as close to their natural
ones as possible. Wade into the shallows with stingrays and check out numerous
species of snakes, caimans, and lizards. This is a unique Denver experience you
won’t get in any other suburb.
St. Patrick’s Brewing Company
For almost a decade, this Irish bar in downtown Littleton
has been brewing up top-quality craft beers in true Irish style. The laid-back
taproom welcomes regulars and tourists each afternoon and evening. Visitors can
sample a variety of Colorado-inspired beers as well as traditional Irish
stouts, reds, and ales. Beer lovers looking to kick back with some Littleton
locals should work in a visit to St. Patrick’s Brewing Company next time they’re south of the Mile High City.
Depot Art Gallery
Art collectors and novice art fans alike are sure to enjoy
this gallery located in the old Littleton Train Depot.
Local artists showcase their original paintings, watercolors, and photography
on the walls of the Depot Art Gallery. Perhaps the coolest spot to check out some unique pieces is in
the old caboose that dates to the 1890s.
Grande Station
This Littleton bistro sports a relaxed neighborhood
atmosphere, but its food is anything but low key. Delicious seafood dishes
pepper the menu alongside traditional, Colorado-style comfort foods like a
bison burger and green chile stew. Each week, Grande Station offers fantastic
drink specials, making this the perfect spot for a night on the town with
friends.
Café Terracotta
If you’re in the mood for a romantic meal or meaningful
dinner celebration, reserve a spot at Café Terracotta. This top-rated
restaurant serves tasty meals out of a welcoming historic home in downtown
Littleton. Feast on mahi-mahi or barbacoa tacos while watching passersby enjoy
the likes of downtown Littleton, as well.

suburb at the Littleton Museum. The town has an interesting past and was one of the first

exhibits that show how this tiny agricultural town grew into the innovative and
bustling city it is today.
