Located at the Red Rocks Exit on I-70 (Exit 259), Gateway Village is Golden’s connection to the mountains. The modern village of dining spots, a brewery and shops is just five minutes from downtown Golden and even closer to Red Rocks Amphitheatre, making Gateway Village the perfect place to dine, drink, shop or stay, either before or after a concert. With its easy access off I-70 and loads of free parking it’s also the perfect stop for food, drinks and fun after a day of mountain adventures.
