Why locals love it: Tucked in Old Firehouse Alley behind Illegal Pete's; you walk past the door unless someone tells you the alley holds a brewery.

Postcard Pan Pizza bakes Detroit-inspired pans only four evenings a week from 133 Remington Street, the address it shares with Equinox Brewing in Old Town.
Why locals goNo standalone storefront and a Thursday-to-Sunday evening schedule keep it a word-of-mouth find inside a taproom.
TipHours are short, Thursday to Sunday evenings only, and the crispy-edged pans routinely sell through, so go early.
Choice City has cooked American comfort food next door to the historic Armstrong Hotel since 2004, a locals' room that visitors routinely walk past.
Why locals goA corner room beside the Armstrong Hotel, it reads as hotel dining from the street and gets skipped for it.
TipIt sits at Olive and College beside the Armstrong Hotel, so it works equally for a sit-down dinner or a pre-show plate; note the Tuesday closure.
Hello Brew Co pours Czech-style lagers and hazy IPAs from a 1904 bungalow on Linden Street in Fort Collins' River District, a 2022 arrival on the scene.
Why locals goA brewery inside a 1904 bungalow with no phone and a tiny board of Czech lagers; blink on Linden Street and you miss the porch.
TipThe bungalow is tiny and the patio does the heavy lifting; no phone, so check the site for tap updates before you set out.
Cafe Richesse roasts farm-direct Brazilian crops in a Fort Collins unit off East Lincoln Avenue, selling by the bag on weekday roastery hours.
Why locals goA farm-direct Brazilian roastery trading from an industrial unit on short weekday hours; wholesale is the main trade.
TipThis is a roastery door, not a cafe: weekday hours only, and the beans come from the family's own low-impact Brazilian farms.
The OBC Wine Project is Odell Brewing's urban winery on Lincoln Avenue in Fort Collins, its 2023 Colorado Red a Governor's Cup winner on tap.
Why locals goA working winery hidden behind a brewery patio; most visitors stop at the beer and never find the fermenters next door.
TipIt shares a patio with the Odell taproom, so a flight of Colorado wine and a 90 Shilling can happen in one sitting.
Waltzing Kangaroo hides an authentic Australian pie shop in Campus West, hand-making steak, curry, chicken and lamb pies in five-inch pastry shells.
Why locals goAn Australian pie counter in a student-strip block on West Elizabeth; drivers pass it daily without registering it exists.
TipEvery pie is also sold frozen to take home; the lamb and rosemary is the sleeper order.
