Union Avenue Historic District: Where Pueblo’s Past Meets Its Riverside Future
Pueblo’s Union Avenue Historic District comes alive during the day. The red-brick storefronts, arched windows, and riverside walkways all tell the story of a city that’s proud of its past and still growing into something new. With its blend of local businesses, outdoor dining, and easy access to the Riverwalk, this downtown district is one of Pueblo’s most photogenic and inviting places to explore.
Brues Alehouse Brewing Co.
Housed in the city’s former police station, Brues Alehouse has become a landmark for its architecture and atmosphere. The building’s stone façade and shaded patio overlook the Riverwalk, where you’ll often see people relaxing or walking by.
Fuel & Iron Food Hall
Inside a historic warehouse, Fuel & Iron brings a mix of Pueblo’s favorite food vendors together under one roof. Even from the sidewalk, its tall windows and brick detail show how the old and new blend seamlessly along Union Avenue.
Solar Roast Coffee
Just up the street, Solar Roast Coffee adds a touch of energy and warmth, literally. The company’s solar-powered roasting process is unique to Pueblo, and its bright storefront has become a favorite morning stop for locals.
Union Avenue Storefronts
From colorful flags to outdoor tables and planters, the street itself is part of the experience. Each building carries its own history, whether it’s an early 1900s mercantile turned boutique or an office restored with original brickwork and iron trim.
The Pueblo Riverwalk
No trip through Union Avenue is complete without a walk along the Riverwalk. Bridges framed by flowers, calm water, and public art installations make it one of the most photographed spots in the city.
Daytime brings out the best of Union Avenue. The sunlight shows off the textures of the old buildings and the colors of fall trees along the riverbank. Cafés and patios fill with conversation, and each block feels like a small piece of Pueblo’s larger story, a community rooted in history and full of local pride.
