The Tivoli Brewery is a historic landmark[2] in the Auraria Neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. It is the former home of the Tivoli Brewing Company, which took its name from the town of Tivoli in central Italy. The Tivoli Brewery building was built in 1866 with a mansard roof. It was converted into a shopping center before being renovated in 1980 by architectural firm HOK.

Today, the building is home to the Tivoli Student Union of the Auraria Campus, serving as a student center for the Metropolitan State College of Denver, the University of Colorado Denver, and the Community College of Denver. While it is now used as meeting rooms and student group offices, many of the historic features still remain, including the copper brewing kettles and a barrel lift that is visible from two levels.
