46 Best Bars in Denver

“Very cool spot, fun atmosphere, great service, great cocktail and wine list. Service from Abby was top notch and she had some great recommendations for other fun spots for us to try on our visit to Denver. Really the only issue is that we could order everything on the menu! We will be back for sure.“

“We make a point to book a reservation at Williams & Graham whenever we are in the area! From the great atmosphere to the eclectic array of crafted cocktails, it never disappoints, but is also full of surprises. I had their Gumbo & it was a huge bowl of mouthwatering goodness! A must try if you are a gumbo lover! 😋“

There's lots of different restaurants so you can choose what you're feeling like and we extremely recommend going here.“

“Love Broadway Market! Our go-to spot to bring our out of town family and friends. Great environment with a great selection of beer, wine and cocktails. The food concepts are all amazing and really diverse, so there is truly something for everyone. Plus, their service is extremely clean and professional during COVID. Highly recommend checking this place out, or at the least getting food to go.“

“Jason & the Dive Inn crew did a fantastic job hosting our 30th birthday party!! Jason reserved us the perfect space (about 40 ppl) with signs and all. Every worker was so friendly and diligent! We had the best night. THANK YOU for supporting us in DIVING INTO OUR 30’s! 😎“

“$11 for a craft beer and a mixed drink? Yes thanks. They also give out free shots but they seem a lot like Tampico.

I'm a huge fan of old school dive bar atmosphere and this is everything I could dream of. Back to the jukebox now...“

“"I wish I could I could stay here, but I cant" - my five year old. I love the brootle poodle 💜“

“I had the pleasure to eat at this fine establishment over the weekend with some great people! Let’s just say Sushi Den do not disappoint for my fist experience and will definitely be back. Everything was awesome from the cocktails to the Nigiri and high end Whisky!“

“Great service, and the most comfortable chairs in the airport are available here. Bartender recommended a whiskey Id never tried before and it might be my new favorite. I also tried the BBQ spot next to them and it was great with good sauces.“

“It's our favorite bar in Denver. I grew up here, but only visit from time to time now. PonPon is hands down Denver's coolest bar, and it's not simply surface: yes, the atmosphere is exceedingly cool, but it's also extremely playful, and if you feel intimidated by the atmosphere, the incredibly warm bar staff will help you feel at ease. This is truly a sophisticated spot posing as a dive bar - you can get a glass of Txlakolina as readily as you might get a $4 Gennessee, or the best Japanese whisky cocktail as easily as a Mexican Coke or a glass of Four Roses from the 1970s salvaged from an estate sale. There's something here for everyone, from the eclectic decor to the art gallery in back. This is a must visit spot if you like cozy watering holes with kick-a music and awesome service.“

“Cool DJ, huge patio, billiards next door.“

“Good music cool comfortable space 🤙“

“My wife and I have been here three times before and it has become our favorite restaurant in the entire Denver area. We’re going again tonight for our 32nd anniversary and we can’t wait!

The food is unfailingly amazing. The blend of modern French with North African and Middle Eastern flavors blow my mind every time because Jon’s execution is so good. We moved from the NYC area to Colorado a few years ago and agree that Bistro Barbes is the only thing we’ve found that matches the quality of our favorites in NYC (including several places with Michelin Stars).“

“My favorite restaurant in all of Denver. Best ambiance, best food, best wine, best service. Love everything about it!“

“Fantastic food and atmosphere!!!“

“I just had the butternut squash ravioli and it was amazing!! I might come back tomorrow and have it all over again 🤩“

“Katie. Cameron. Goldy. Made our experience and anniversary awesome. We knew no one in Denver and they chatted with us when it was hectic but still took care of customers. The concept of the bar is awesome and I know it will thrive for many years to come. We will be back your friends from Mississippi!“

“The hospitality at this location is unmatched from the employees all the way to the owner!
the atmosphere & decor is a vibe!
I can’t wait to come back to Denver and visit this location not to mention the drinks and the prices are amazing!“

“Great atmosphere and amazing view of the city. Cocktails are on point and the food was delectable. 10/10 would both recommend and will definitely return the next time I’m in Denver.“

“In a sea of overly pretentious bars in Lower Downtown (LoDo) Denver that try to be something they aren’t or will never become, Ice House stands relatively alone as knowing and being what it is… A Neighborhood Bar… with great prices, food and the most welcoming atmosphere in the area.

The service is great, with most of the staff being long tenured and further cultivating the notion of a neighborhood bar, where you’re met with not only a friendly face, but also a friend. Nick, Victoria , Adam, Martin, Erin, Kevin and Ashley, plus so many others are what truly make this place special and remaining the place for those that truly appreciate the fact that there is a “ Cheer’s” bar at sheer doorsteps from both Union Station and Coor’s Feild.

The food is great… the pizza is top notch and formally staid bar food is made a bit more interesting with the unique options - like cream cheese on a BBQ pizza - that work exceptionally.

The patio is amazing and the interior, while bemoaning “neighborhood bar” is not only inviting, with a huge circular bar that invites interaction and conversation, is exactly what it needs to be… open, spacious, and fun (pool table, Golden Tee and other social gaming devices). It shouldn’t be anything else!!!

If you’re looking for a fun, chill place that has great staff, great food and where you may just find yourself looking for a “home base” with interesting people, and and even more exceptional staff, you’d be hard pressed to find anything better than the Ice House Tavern.“

“American Bonded is so much fun. Really hip, multicultural atmosphere, too. We love when they have Slay & Stinson and other cool bands playing on the open air roof. The stars and city view totally rock.“

“Carolina is the best! Very detailed, beautiful work. She took her time with my Microblading and made sure I loved the look every step of the way!“

“Great pizza and wings. Fun for the kids and always wonderful service!“

“This was a surprise and delight - very cool atmosphere- fabulous drinks, great service/food and amazing views“

“I’m not sure how many times I’ve given 5 stars, but this restaurant deserves every one of them. The food was incredible! We tried a variety of dishes, including tamal de pato, ceviche, albóndigas, fish, chocolate ice cream, and more. Everything was outstanding, from the authentic flavors to the delicious sauces, moles, salsas, and fresh corn tortillas. I highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy exceptional ethnic food—or if you’re open to expanding your palate!“

“Dazzle is a community hub! We are proud to be a community partner and grateful for their contribution to Denver Sister Cities International and the many non-profits they support.The new venue is inspiring and we look forward to years to come of keeping the music scene in Denver thriving!“

“One of my favorite spots in Denver. Lovely vibes always, friendly staff, great food, and decent variety without a very extensive menu. There’s something for most everyone, with great NA bevs and very well done vegan/vegetarian options and substitutions. It’s a go-to for me when showing more local digs to around out-of-town visitors. Hidden gem for weekend brunch, too!“

“This isn’t your normal airport fare! The food was delicious!“
