I live south of Denver here. I do not know of any meet up groups, but maybe can offer a couple notes on living spots.

I live in the suburbs and am far from the pub crawl scene, but I quizzed a couple young coworkers who hang out downtown and such.

Living in the DU area might make your commute a bit long, your better bet might be closer to downtown. Both for the scene and the drive.

Couple areas around downtown that are nice are the Highlands area north of the city (newer, lots of lofts), and Capitol Hill (older area). I would say rent for a single bedroom around the downtown area is probably going to run you about 800-1000 a month. You might be able to get a bit further outside of downtown, or go for a studio and get that down. One person mentioned Uptown Square near downtown (apartment complex I believe), as being a very young social crowd, but sounded like it could be a serious party scene though.

One area that is great for location between downtown and your work, is a newer development called Stapleton, BUT, I would say that tends to be more a 'couples' crowd. Its nice if you want something quieter but new, but again, more the newly married versus the singles crowd.

Best of luck on your move!!!
