Billy's Gourmet Hot Dogs
Regional-style dogs and sausages, still cooking past midnight on weekends
A hot dog counter on Larimer that plays the regional-styles game properly: a Chicago dog with sport peppers and celery salt, a Seattle dog with cream cheese, a Texas Tommy, a bacon-wrapped Tijuana dog. Beer and wine, a short happy hour, and a standing deal that takes half off the second dog or sausage. It runs to midnight Friday and Saturday, which is why the queue is often longer at one in the morning than at one in the afternoon. Fast and cheap before a game or after a show.
Why go. One of the few things near Coors Field still cooking at midnight on a Saturday.
The second dog is half price, so order two and skip the fries.
