Hi Avon Traveler, So if the operative word is "quick" I would recommend going to Union Station which is fronted by Wynkoop Street. That block features short-term valet ($) and UBER parking but you then dont have to mess with finding a meter. Wynkoop Brewery is a landmark pub/eatery, there is also the Thirsty Lion (and several others) in the Union Station Terminal building as well. All within 1 block, very people-friendly and energetic atmosphere. Have fun!

I drove down there twice on a weekend (Rockies weren't home) and didn't have any problem finding a street parking spot. Only 2 hours though. There are parking garages throughout the area and with the free shuttle in the area, it won't be too awful. Good Luck

There are many hotels near LoDo (walking distance or short Uber/Cab ride)... not so many in LoDo itself! The most affordable decent hotels will run you US$150 per room per night! I recommend that you go on Trivago and search for Denver for the date you want and once you have the selection, go to the map where it will show you what is available near LoDo (area near Union Station and Coors Fields). Good luck!

There is a wonderful club in the basement of the Tall Tower on 16th. comedy, burlesque jazz or country music....depends on the night. Go into the Tower lobby to see what is on that week.

Sorry it took me a bit to reply but I do have to agree with Taylor B. They are great suggestions. Especially Jazz @ Jacks. And if your wanting to check out a place that will Serve great food and a Damn good drink. Accross the street from Jazz @ Jacks is the Paramount Cafe. I do agree with Taylor B's suggestions though. Enjoy!
