Bryce's Last Ride
Championship Round: Bryce
Sending Bryce off with fantasy football trash talk, cold Coors, and zero regrets
Home Base
RiNo Arts District House with Rooftop Deck
Airbnb/VRBO 5-bedroom house
RiNo is Denver's coolest neighborhood — art galleries, breweries, and bars within walking distance. A large house with a rooftop deck, hot tub, and open kitchen is HQ for the crew. This is where Bryce's fantasy league draft happens on the deck with cold Coors. Pricing is estimated based on market rates for 5-bedroom properties in this area during September.
$1,400–$1,800/night (estimated; split 14 ways = $100–$130/person/night)/nightDay 1 — Wheels Down, Drinks Up
Arrival & Check-in at RiNo House
Crew arrives and settles into the house. Assign bedrooms, stock the fridge with Coors Banquet (Bryce's go-to), and set up the group chat. This is HQ for the weekend.
Tip: Have the welcome kit waiting on the kitchen counter — water, Gatorade, snacks, and a cold Coors for Bryce.
Pool & Rooftop Hangout (Downtime)
Crew hangs at the house pool and rooftop deck. This is where inside jokes form and the crew bonds. Bryce can start trash-talking about his fantasy league rulebook.
Tip: Set up a speaker and play country radio — Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs on repeat.
Colorado Rockies Game at Coors Field
Head to Coors Field for a Rockies game. Upper-deck or standing-room tickets are budget-friendly; the rooftop party deck is where the crew hangs. Baseball, beers, and the vibe is perfect for Day 1 icebreaker energy. Bryce gets to talk sports with the whole crew.
Tip: Grab hot dogs and Coors at the stadium — budget $15–$20 per person for food/drink.
Casual Dinner — Tocabe (Native American)
Post-game dinner at Tocabe on South Broadway. Indian tacos and frybread bowls are cheap, delicious, and unique to Denver. Casual vibe, no reservations needed for groups under 8 — split into two groups if needed.
Tip: Order the green chile smothered burrito for Bryce — it's his kryptonite.
Bar Crawl — Night 1 (Chill Start)
Start the bar crawl at Ratio Beerworks (RiNo brewery with huge patio, cheap beer, food trucks). This is a low-key opener — Bryce can talk fantasy football and draft beer with the crew. No cover charge, casual vibe.
Tip: Ratio is walking distance from the house. Start here, then move to the next bar at 11:30 PM.
Day 2 — Destroy the Town
Breakfast at Denver Biscuit Company
Crew grabs giant biscuit sandwiches at Denver Biscuit Company (South Broadway). Cheap, hangover-curing, and perfect for fueling up before the day's activities. No reservations needed.
Tip: Order the 'Biscuit Breakfast Sandwich' — it's massive and costs $8–$12.
Bad Axe Throwing Denver
Crew splits into two groups (7 people each) for 1-hour sessions at Bad Axe Throwing. Competitive, fun, and a great icebreaker for the crew. Bryce will love the competitive vibe. BYOB allowed — bring Coors.
Tip: Book two back-to-back sessions (11:00 AM and 12:15 PM) so the whole crew can watch each other throw.
Downtime at House (Pool, Cards, Poker Setup)
Crew returns to the house for a 2.5-hour downtime block. Pool time, card games, and setup for the poker tournament later. This is where the inside jokes happen — Bryce can talk Commissioner rulebook drama with the crew.
Tip: Set up a poker table on the deck with chips and cards. Buy-in is $20–$50 per person (optional).
Speedway Indoor Karting
Crew heads to Speedway Indoor Karting (15 min from house). Split into two heats so everyone races. Bryce's competitive sports-nut energy will shine — this is peak Day 2 activity. Two races per person, helmet and suit included.
Tip: Arrive 15 min early to check in and get suited up. Races are fast — plan 90 min total.
Return to House & Get Ready
Crew returns to the house, showers, and preps for the big night. Bryce gets the Commissioner treatment — maybe a custom t-shirt with his fantasy league logo.
Tip: Have cold Coors waiting in the fridge. Pregame at the house for 30 min before heading out.
Casual Group Dinner — Work & Class (RiNo)
Dinner at Work & Class in RiNo (walking distance from house). Smoked meats, creative cocktails, industrial vibe. Budget-friendly, no reservations needed for groups under 8 — split into two groups if needed. Bryce gets his green chile smothered burrito or a smoked brisket sandwich.
Tip: Arrive by 7:00 PM to beat the crowd. Budget $20–$30 per person for food and one drink.
Party Bus Pickup
Party bus picks up the crew at the house at 8:45 PM. This is the big night — no driving, no worries. Party bus has a sound system and room for 14 people. Cost is split across the group.
Tip: Have the party bus driver play country radio — Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs to get Bryce hyped.
Bar Crawl — Night 2 (THE BIG NIGHT)
Party bus drops the crew at Bar 1: Punch Bowl Social (LoDo). Bowling, karaoke, craft cocktails. Casual vibe, no cover charge. Spend 60–90 min here, then move to Bar 2.
Tip: Punch Bowl is a crew favorite — bowling and karaoke get everyone loose. Budget $15–$20 per person for drinks and bowling.
Bar Crawl — Bar 2: Howl at the Moon (LoDo)
Party bus drops crew at Howl at the Moon (dueling pianos, audience participation). This is where the roasts start — Bryce gets called out on his 70-page fantasy league rulebook. High-energy, fun, no cover charge.
Tip: Request a song dedication to 'Commissioner Bryce' — the crowd will eat it up.
Bar Crawl — Bar 3: Larimer Beer Hall (LoDo)
Party bus drops crew at Larimer Beer Hall (German-style beer hall, long communal tables, steins). Casual vibe, cheap beer, perfect for the crew to settle in and talk. Bryce can hold court about his fantasy league.
Tip: Order Coors by the stein — it's cheap and Bryce will love it.
Late-Night Food & Return to House
Party bus picks up crew and heads to a late-night spot (food truck or 24-hour diner) for tacos or burgers. Then back to the house by 2:30 AM. Crew crashes.
Tip: Budget $10–$15 per person for late-night food.
Day 3 — Recovery & Departure
Recovery Brunch at Snooze An A.M. Eatery
Crew heads to Snooze for creative pancake flights and a massive Bloody Mary bar. This is the final crew moment — everyone's hungover, laughing, and reminiscing about the weekend. No reservations needed for groups under 8 — split into two groups if needed.
Tip: Arrive by 10:00 AM to beat the crowd. Budget $20–$25 per person for food and drinks.
Checkout & Departure
