A Banana Takeover At Dairy Block
A Banana Takeover At Dairy Block
We’re seeing yellow this weekend with the return of the Savannah Bananas to Coors Field, and there’s no better place to pregame, post game, and enjoy the game than right here on Dairy Block in downtown Denver.
If you’re wondering where to eat and drink while remaining just a short walk from the stadium, you’ll find banana-inspired frozen treats, interactive art, scavenger hunts, and plenty of ways to fuel up before first pitch or keep the fun going long after the final home run.
Kachina Cantina is leaning all the way into the banana craze with a lineup that’s worth making a pregame stop for.
Start with a Southwestern-inspired Banana Split featuring platanos, horchata ice cream, churro bits, and dulce de leche. Then, keep the theme going with a frozen Banana Margarita or the Banana Coconut Agua Fresca, made with house coconut cream and toasted banana syrup.
Looking to linger? Grab a seat on the shaded patio overlooking the Coors Field and pair your drink with one of Kachina’s new taco platters featuring proteins like nopales, quail, chicken, suadero, and more.
If you’re not feeling bananas, you can still cool off with a frozen margarita flight with four refreshing flavors including classic, strawberry, passionfruit, and mango.

There are more frozen treats to be had across the lobby at Poka Lola, where you can try their frozen Yacht Rock cocktail, only available this weekend. Made with brûléed banana rum, coconut, and lime, then topped with a heaping pile of whipped cream and crumbled graham cracker, this banana-filled treat is equal parts cocktail and dessert.
While you’re there, don’t forget to explore Poka Lola’s new summer menu in the comfort of the shady patio out back. Try the Liquid Diet - a Bloody Mary inspired martini - with mozzarella washed vodka, basil oil infused vermouth, tomato and MSG, or go ahead and sip Weird Fishes (yes, this is a fishbowl) with 3 of your besties, made with rum, pineapple, and lime.
Plus, if you stop by after the game on Saturday, you can catch live music from DJ Kelen to keep the energy going.

The banana-fueled fun continues at Denver Milk Market with playful specials made for game day.
Kick things off with an Elvis Shot featuring peanut butter whiskey, Irish cream, and banana liqueur for a little taste of banana before the game, and pair it with a slice (or a whole pie) of the Banana Pepper Pizza topped with Italian sausage, banana peppers, garlic, roasted red peppers, and a delightfully light white sauce.
Need a quick pregame? Stop by Moo Bar for happy hour and enjoy $5 drafts alongside bites like mini calzones or meatball sliders before the short walk to Coors Field.
Check out more bites and bevs at the Market here.
The celebration goes far beyond the food and drinks with hands-on experiences throughout Dairy Block.
Join resident artist Finn Taylor of Finn’s Studio for an interactive art station in the Alley, where you can paint your own mini baseball bat to take home for a one of a kind souvenir from Savannah Bananas weekend in Denver.
There’s even more to discover throughout Dairy Block all weekend long.
Sip a Banana Bread Latte or Banana Bread Chai from Huckleberry Roasters, cool off with frozen banana pudding cups from The Yellow Fix pop-up in The Maven lobby, hunt for banana-themed prizes throughout the Block, or stop to watch a local balloon artist create right before your eyes for family friendly fun.
