Yeah, I'm sure it does but it comes from the Mormon population, right? Because they aren't allowed to be in "bars."

This is standard in Washington state too.

They're allowed to be in bars. They're just not allowed to drink alcohol. I am a Mormon and I go to bars with friends. I just don't order alcohol.

Isn't this fairly common? I know in Philly all ages are allowed in bars but that's not the norm, right? These days there are bars with incredible food and restaurants with great cocktail/beer/wine programs. The big difference in my mind is - aside from breweries - people under 21 typically aren't allowed in bars and they have more bar seating than tables.

I was told that restaurants can't have bar tops and in order to be a restaurant instead of a bar is to serve food or something? Or the ability to eat it at the bar? Sounds confusing for no reason. The signs in front are also strange.

Which is Denver more similar to?
Denver has always felt very, very similar to Sacramento to me.

The culture, vibe, people and infrastructure is Denver says a large version of Sacramento to me.

Denver also has similar vibes in culture, people and vibe to Reno, Ogden and some of the neighborhoods in Salt Lake City.

I can't think of one thing at all in Denver that would remind me of Omaha, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Chicago, Columbus, Indianapolis.

Many times people compare to Minneapolis to Denver but they are polar opposites in my opinion also.

Denver feels nothing like a Midwest city at all.

Denver has alot of historic areas because like San Francisco it was a rather large city for that part of the country in the late 1800s.

Denver's food culture is similar to a Western City.

Denver has a much, much higher percentage of those who are from another state originally compared to the Midwest.

Maybe Denver feels more Western now. I visited the Denver area 20 yrs ago and at that time it felt very Midwestern. I am considering relocating to Denver since it seems like a good cultural fit for me.

But it also doesn't feel like a West Coast city at all to me either. I guess if you really want to pinpoint it you could say it's a Mountain West city on steroids, with hints of the Southwest, the Midwest and the West Coast.
