Denver Pavilions

A centrally located outdoor mall with typical staple of chain stores like Claire’s, Banana Republic, Victoria’s Secrets, H&M and Forever 21 etc. It has 3 floors and is close to the other strip malls in LoDo and Capitol Hill.

Denver pavilions is a three tier outdoor shopping mall along 16^th Street. Plenty of modern and fashionable stores on all the levels along with restaurants, bars, a movie theater and even a bowling alley. I’ve been here many times and each time for something different. Always a good time at denver pavilions.

I have been here a few times. This time was for the new years eve fireworks. What a show even though it was freezing cold I enjoyed watching the fireworks display. Also walked around the shops while I waited. Definitely worth the wait in the cold.

The stores are okay, but I have to give the Pavilions only one star because of a policy that makes it unpleasant to shop here. The Pavilions have public restrooms, but you can only use them if you buy something from one of the shops.

Fun, food and shopping, come experience one of Denver’s multi venue complexes in Downtown Denver! Hard Rock, Coyote Ugly, Lime, movies and bowling not to mention shops and restaurants!

Great self-​contained shopping experience, while not turning its back to the city and 16^th street. I’ve been to some downtown malls, and many of them seem to be buffered from the dirty rough downtowns, but the open air nature of Denver Pavilions sets it apart! And please drop in to I Heart Denver, buy some locally made gifts and pet the Corgi!

I mainly go to this place because of the movie theater. However I like it as it has several well known stores and restaurants. Don’t really see it as a tourist trap since it only contains one souvenir shop (which is not even your typical souvenir shop).
Really doubt tourists come to Denver to shop at H&M, Forever 21, etc. Coming here saves me a trip to the mall and the Pavilions don’t get packed despite being in the very touristy 16^th St Mall. Movie showings at the Pavilion have not been sold out even when I’ve attended for blockbuster movies on opening weekend.

I love shopping at the Denver Pavillions. parking is easy and the shops are wonderful. Check out the I Heart Denver Store for some great gift ideas.

Best part is the free parking

I typically am in the area for watching movies at the UA movie theater, but I do some window shopping while there. It could use a permanent store where Virgin records used to be (and where the DaVinci exhibit was at last), but not too shabby area if you like that scene.
If you go to the UA movie theater, park in the under structure to get free parking validation. The entrance is on the north-​west side of the Pavilions, off of Welton Street. I am not down here to visit some of the other places as much so I am unsure if they validate. Maybe someone can clarify that for me (and you).

What can I say, went here as a kid and still love it. aaaah nostalgia

We really enjoy the Denver Pavilions! We shop quite a few of the 40 stores and restaurants there: like Bare Minerals, Maggiano’s, Corner Bakery, Claire’s, Barnes and Noble, Bath and Body Works, Hard Rock Café, Jazz @ Jacks, I Heart Denver, and others. The facility is always clean. Many shopping centers, malls, etc., are not kept up. The Denver Pavilions’ is clean, management cares. I appreciate that.
The parking garage, which is easy to access from either Glenarm or Welton, off of 15^th, is nicely lit, and it holds quite a few cars. Oh, if you park there, and go to a movie, just validate your movie ticket inside the main doors of the theatre, and your parking is free — at least up to 2 hours or so. Anyway, we usually can find a parking space in the garage, which is nice. I know we don’t have to find parking on the street, at a meter, and I do appreciate that.
We like the Pavilions for numerous other reasons, but another big one, is that the Pavilions is located along the popular 16^th Street Mall. There is a free shuttle bus that runs up and down the mall, stopping at each corner on both sides of the street. We especially love walking around the mall during the holiday season, as it’s beautiful with the lights.
So, enough said. Please go check out the Denver Pavilions. It is a nice time well spent.

Denver Pavilions reminded me of the Hollywood and Highland Center in California. It’s a definite tourist trap and not worth the visit in my opinion.
If you’re looking for shopping, you’re better off at the Cherry Creek Mall or LoDo. And if it’s food you’re after, there are so many better places to dine at.
Don’t waste your time or money here. I was here for less than 10 minutes and paid seven bucks for parking!

I really don’t shop here, so I can’t comment much on the stores. I’m not really a Forever 21 or H&M or Hot Topic sort of person. I do enjoy the Barnes & Noble, though I don’t ever buy books there. The Starbucks inside is a good place to cool off with some ice tea, and there is a public bathroom which is quite necessary sometimes. Other than that, this place is pretty much a tourist trap. Hard Rock Café, Coyote Ugly, etc…
The best part about the Pavillions is the Regal movie theater. Thanks to the validation for free parking that lasts 4 hours, one can see a movie and wander downtown for a bit without having to find or pay for parking.
Speaking of Coyote Ugly… how does it stay in business? I come to the Pavillions often for a movie during friday/​saturday evenings, and Coyote Ugly is pretty much always empty. I understand why… I mean it’s a stupid gimmick that should have died out long ago… but the rent can’t be cheap for such an big place in such a prime location. It boggles the mind.

Not the best, probably one of those places that has the allure to those people that don’t live here. Has some more chain like shops if you like that kind of shopping. Also, houses a movie theater on the top floor which is great for a show after work if you work downtown.
I would say this is more like a tourist trap but I’ve ventured in a couple times.

The Pavilions always seems like a tourist trap to me and I think you could count the number of times I’ve been here in the 13 years I’ve lived here on 1 and a half hands. It’s an outside, sprawling mall that you have to cross the street to go to a few stores. The last time I was here was just to go to the Tobacco shop and even then coming down to the Pavilions made it unlikely I’ll be back. But it IS nice and cutesy for the tourists, so I can see the allure.

I think the pavilions thinks it’s more than it is. It’s a neat open air mall, but it’s a bit too hoity toity for my taste.
They do some cool stuff in the summer though with art festivals and such.
Best part, the Barnes & Noble.

Great parking, decent big-​name stores, some really cute shops, and a variety of food options. It’s fun, is safe, and boasts a great theater and bowling alley. Hooray for the Pavilions.

What kind of shopping mall — even an outdoor one — closes at 7pm on a weeknight?
My two stars are for the Yes Please More shop and Jerri’s Cigars. Great locally owned places with friendly, helpful staff in an otherwise boring sea of chain stores and restaurants in this particular part of downtown.

Boring!
