50 Best Bars in Denver

“Improper City is one of the few places that actually have a non alcoholic on tap along with local non alcoholic beers. Great place to enjoy the nice weather as one of best patios in Rino.“

“So pretentious, worth every cent. Thank you! 10/10 you people are geniuses and gifts. You people kept my glass full, cared more than I expected. Dime a dozen speakeasies often dot the landscape but few reach the heights that are present here. Will be thinking about that pan sauce from the Steak Daisy and the carrot forward cocktails on offer. Just unbelievable.“

“This is by far my favorite place to go with my gal pals or bring out of town visitors. James the bartender always provides extraordinary customer service and delicious cocktails. The views are great. The vibes are on point. And even though seating can be hard to find, standing is so worth it to experience this rooftop.“

“A queue was already forming before it opened and we can see why. Food flavors pop and crackle! We had twice cooked pork, fried rice with duck, crab noodles (don’t miss this!!), sweet and sour beef….but the absolute star of the night was the pea shoots. Could have had 3 serves of that. The food tends to be spicy so beware but it’s worth sweating through it“

“I’m a big fan of neighborhood bars, and this one is definitely a keeper! The atmosphere is great, and the drinks are all so unique. It’s a small spot, but it feels super cozy. And the Italian sub hot dog… it’s absolutely delicious.“

“Fantastic drinks that change seasonally, friendly and attentive staff. Great place!“

“This historic original Coors tap house is one of the greatest bars and restaurants in Denver, tucked away in the very hip Highlands neighborhood. The amazing bartenders and staff offer great service that perfectly complements the delicious and tasty food. The menu is absolutely mouth-watering, from the house-made pork rinds and tavern tots to the delicious pastrami. My personal favorite, though, has to be the green chili stew.“

“Ally was my bartender and she was funny as heck. Great attitude and personality. Great conversation. I recommend this place if you have a delay or layover and just need a drink. I didn’t try the food so I couldn’t tell you but the drinks was excellent. Try the juicy oasis. Perfect“

“Our family, 8 people, attended a cocktail class lead by mixologist extraordinaire Kai and it was fabulous! He taught us two custom cocktail recipes that were delicious and fun to make. We had such a great time with Kai. This is a must see if you’re in the Denver area and enjoy craft cocktails.“

“Love this bar!!! It’s a complete local gem. Great vibe with some of the best drinks in the neighborhood.“

“Excellent wings and burger! We got the garlic Parmesan & buffalo, flavor was spot on. Service was good and quick. Will definitely be back.“

“Great place! Great people! Really enjoyed our time there.“

“My childhood bar. Had my first drink here when I was a kid.“

“The cocktail bar was dark and cozy“

“The music was perfect for the sunset happening. Cool deep house you may hear at Anjunadeep open air concerts. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Well priced diverse selection of wines by the glass and craft cocktails. Pair that with tasty snacks and a comfy environment and patio; what more could you ask from a perfect place to meet your friends? Conveniently located on Broadway just south of Evans check it out!!!“

“Ivy is the most amazing server ever ! She was prompt and great through our whole conversation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“A low key gem situated in the Santa Fe Art District. Atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Friends are included (Owners/operators Michael and Heather)!“

“Great food! Staff are very nice & attentive. Becca was our server & was awesome!! We will definitely come back!“

“The food was amazing. Wine list was great. Very small, intimate setting for maybe 20 guests. The chef does everything, from greeting you when you walk in, taking your order, cooking your food, delivering your food and drinks and clearing the table. Only downside is after 12 years he is closing to pursue another opportunity at a different kitchen.“

“if you love vinyl and a cool unique vibe, this is the place. always a wonderful, eclectic musical discovery experience“

“My wife and I had an absolute blast last night. The golf simulator was a lot of fun with a ton of options for play. The pool was free and the drinks were great.“

“Great atmosphere and drinks!“

“I would move to Denver just for this place alone!! Love love love!!“

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

“Always evident the staff and owners take pride in this great neighborhood dive. Feels authentically Colfax while giving Philly fans a sweet hub. (go birds!!) They feature a lot of awesome live music, super fun theme nights (I think bingo is on Wednesdays right now), and a big karaoke turnout on Tuesdays and Fridays. And the new Halloween decorations are SICK!!!🤘🏻I routinely hang out on Mondays—my favorite bartender, Cal, always has killer drink specials all day!!“

“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.“

“When I have friends stopping through town on the way to the slopes or even a convention, I usually take them to Avanti. They’re gonna see the mountains, usually have a day or two planned to explore them. I think it’s nice to showcase our city skyline and the view of downtown from the spacious upstairs bar and patio. The city lights just glistening at night from that vantage point… The food court features local eateries and usually covers every flavor for a lunch or dinner palette. The vine list is refreshing... parking does stink on weekends because the area is so popular. It's got a lot of screens to watch games or open seating to catch up with friends.“

“Cajicun burger......fan freaking tastic!“

“A friend who frequently travels to Denver raved about this restaurant, so I was eager to experience it for myself. Upon arrival for brunch, My other friend and I received a warm welcome and prompt seating. Our waitress Erika and her assistant were exceptionally kind and attentive. The food was a true culinary delight . I can’t recommend Rioja enough!“

“This place is awesome! Check it out!“

“Warm nicely finished woodwork provides a welcoming historic atmosphere. Our experience was 100% on their patio which is a leftover COVID make-shift tent with zero ambiance however well protected from the weather elements in the unlikely event there’s a bad weather in a place with 300+ days of sunshine. Burgers and sandwiches are tops with your own table try of condiments provided. Drink selection is extensive and mixed well along with a wide variety of good beer choices. Service was great though we were pushed to leave far too quickly without even a mention of dessert even though they were well aware that was our visit purpose nor a apology they had no dessert or cup of coffee. Atmosphere inside historic and warm, outside no more than a camping tent. Food - Excellent sandwiches and burgers. Service- Good though pushed to leave very quickly. Price - Average.“

“Great authentic Irish pub with reasonable prices and a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Maggie behind the bar was incredible and really helped to make my stay in Denver as positive as possible, even providing some local suggestions for dinner nearby (unfortunately they don't have a kitchen). I would highly recommend this place for solo travellers looking to feel welcomed like a local.“

“Very Cool bar and good people“

“Happy hour makes their specialty cocktails fairly cheap for a craft cocktail bar!! Fantastic hand crafted cocktails with friendly bartenders, happy hour is a must here! Freshly squeezed juice and cool vibes!“

“Yup. Friendly and envititing“

“Great community-focused space for all types of events.“

“We were out of towners looking for a karaoke spot and found this gem! Great host, great singers, perfect sized crowd, and good food as well.“

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

“Dew Drop Inn is a fantastic grownup neighbourhood bar spot with delicious drinks and a brilliant happy hour.

The food selection is very nice and the service is even better. You truly feel like you belong when you come to Dew Drop Inn. Our server Emily was lovely, attentative and a had a genuine rapport with a lot of the customers that came in.

There is a nice indoor area with a cozy, dim and historic vibe to it. The outside patio is a lovely place to sit as well.

We were not able to try the mussels this time, but I have heard that they are amazing! We will be back!“

“This was my first visit to Denver Colorado, and a friend, recommended this hotel. Ever since I walked through the doors, I have had nothing but top notch service and respect. The front desk manager Lauren B. has impeccable customer service. And I don't know how I got so lucky, she upgraded me to a Pent House Suite. The room is absolutely gorgeous with breathtaking views of the stadium and skyline.
Definitely recommend staying at The Rally Hotel!! You will be treated like royalty!!“

“My husband and I were looking for a night cap and found this hidden Gem! The host Lily was super sweet and our bartenders were super cool too. The drinks were good and the music matched our tastes. We will definitely hit this place up again for a night on the town.😉“

“The Black Box is a great venue. The sound system is top tier. The venue books a wide variety of bass artists, all genres, from large to smaller acts. Tickets are affordable and the staff is always polite and helpful.“

“To have a place to go within walking distance from my house is great! It’s dog friendly and the owners even kept a few items from the previous market! Will definitely be back and hope that they try and get some outdoor space and turn the volume up on the music! 🍻💙“

“The ambiance & cocktail selection is worth a stop in. If you're in the area looking for an oasis away from the hustle and bustle make this a go to. Our bartender Sam was incredible. Stopped in for a drink after work out of curiosity and Sam's excellent mixology & hospitality made my day.“

“Amazing cocktail experience! Fun cool local spot. Smoky drink had a great presentation - came in a little lantern!“

“I ordered 3 dinners to go. I had no clue 10% was charged for gratuity! Or should say price for the Styrofoam. Food was great! Bartender, wasn't behind the bar had to wait over 10-15 min to get my meals. Wait staff kept saying she'll be right out.... 23$ a meal was almost 100$ with gratuity! Makes no sense! Check your receipts is all I have to say!“

“What a phenomenal experience my husband and I had tonight! First off I should say we have never experienced a dining experience like this before and we were not sure what to expect, but we were blown away from start to finish! As we first walked into the restaurant we were greeted with a huge smile and warm welcoming from the host Lana, who kindly sat us at our table. Immediately as we were sat we were greeted by Adam the bartender with a glass of champagne! I mentioned I was pregnant and couldn’t not drink and he immediately apologized and offered me a sparkling nonalcoholic champagne. My husband also ordered a cocktail and Adam was very thoughtful and made me a mocktail (actually 2 different ones) both were absolutely delicious. After we were settled in that’s where the fun began. The Head chef Michael came to the table and introduced himself and explained the menu along with asking us if we had any dietary restrictions, or didn’t like anything specifically. We ended up going with the Chefs tasting menu to get the full experience. Each course was brought out by the Head chef or a staff member and was explained to us in detail of how he came about the dish itself along with how it was made and the ingredients. From the mini plates to the main course to the mini dessert to the main dessert everything was made with passion and love for food! My husband and myself are both very blown away from this whole experience and very grateful for the way the staff and the entire team worked together to make this an unforgettable experience that will never be forgotten!“
