All Rainbows On Dairy Block
All Rainbows On Dairy Block
Pride Month has arrived at Dairy Block in downtown Denver, bringing some of the best Denver Pride events, drag brunches, cocktails, and celebrations to LoDo. You'll be showing off you inner diva (in the best way) all month long.
Denver Milk Market proudly flies its Pride flag year round, hosting Drag Bingo Brunches every Sunday with specials like Italian Shakshuka or Breakfast Pizza, mimosas, and plenty of sass. However, this month they’re taking the energy one step further with an even more sensational Pride event.
Denver Milk Market is bringing back the iconic Alexis Mateo from RuPaul’s Drag Race for another year of glitter, glam, and dance. On Sunday, June 28th Alexis will perform in two Drag Bingo Brunch shows from 11am - 1pm and 2 - 4pm. During the show be sure to snag the specialty Rainbow Pizza for $21 (topped with zucchini, yellow squash, roasted tomatoes, red onions, and orange bell pepper) or $5 Rainbow Jell-O shots.
Plus, you can enjoy specialty cocktails from their partners at Absolut Vodka like the Electric Peach (Absolut, peach schnapps, simple, lime) and Rainbow Rush (Absolut, st. germain, lemon, pineapple, lavender). And for every Absolut cocktail sold in June, Denver Milk Market will donate $1 to The Center On Colfax to support their mission to engage, empower, enrich, and advance the LGBTQ+ community.
Put on your dancing shoes and warm up those vocal cords: it’s time to sing and dance your way through Denver Pride weekend.
Tickets for Pride Drag Bingo Brunch with Alexis Mateo can be purchased here.
If you’re looking to pregame Drag Bingo Brunch at Denver Milk Market with more drag, be sure to stop by Blockwide Pride on Dairy Block on Saturday, June 27th.
From 12 - 4pm Denver’s very own Jazmine James and DJ Markie will host another drag show featuring Eureka O’Hara of RuPaul’s Drag Race alongside local queens Alexis Staxx, La Diabla, Brittany Michaels, Cobra Delamor, and Mirage Delamor.
Yes, you can (and you should) bring your pup! Dogs are welcome to strut their stuff in the Canine Pride Pageant Fashion Show to share in all the fabulousness during the festivities. Plus, you can partake in face painting, hair tinsel stations, friendship bracelets in The Maven lobby, and more.
To show their support, Dairy Block will also be taking donations for the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire, Colorado’s oldest nonprofit organization that advocates for the LGBTQ+ community.
Poka Lola Social Club is showing their Poka Pride for the entire month of June with a special, vibrant, and delicious cocktail, P.S. Love Is Love. Made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, passionfruit, vanilla bean, and lime, this cocktail is just the right amount of sweet, not to mention the playful color compliments almost any outfit.
The team at Poka Lola is partnering closely with Tito’s for the month of June to bring you the P.S. Love Is Love, so every time you order they’ll donate $1 of your purchase to The Center On Colfax to contribute to their mission to engage, empower, enrich, and advance the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado.

If you’re looking for another place to sip something festive, head through the lobby, past the front desk, and out onto Dairy Block to experience one of downtown Denver’s most colorful wine flights.
Located just across from The Maven, Blanchard Family Wine is a welcoming winery with a spacious patio and open-air space that catches every afternoon ray. Behind every sip is a story rooted in bringing people together and creating connections that inspire passions and dreams.
Celebrate Pride all month long with a sparkling wine flight featuring three colorful pours. To make things even sweeter, each wine is paired with a cotton candy tuft and macaron for the ultimate rainbow-inspired pairing.

There are even more flights to be found on the Block at Kachina Cantina, where they’re serving up their iconic Frozen Margarita Flight with a twist for the month of June.
The vibrant cantina is well known for its frozen marg flights, but this month they’re switching things up with a specialty prickly flavor along with fruity favorites like strawberry, passionfruit, and classic house margaritas. You can enjoy each mini marg for just $15 for the entire month of June.
Plus, Kachina Cantina is also donating $1 of each flight sold in June to The Center On Colfax to show their support of the LGBTQ+ communities in Colorado, and to aid the Center’s goal of providing access to resources these communities need to lead happy, healthy lives.
Kachina Cantina also rolled out a brand new menu this month with new dishes like Sun”Flour” seed catfish, Chicharrone Con Carne, and much more.
