50 Best Wine Bars in Denver

“This is a contender for the best restaurant food I've ever eaten in my life. It's astonishing, delicious, magically flavorful. We tried 5 dishes and had a couple of drinks. I was perplexed at how good everything turned out. Just spectacular.

Impressive, and nearly perfect in every conceivable way. Kudos for achieving a level that is basically unreal..“

“If you are traveling in the Denver airport, stop by the Tapas Sky Bar and ask for Andrew! He gave me great recommendations, had such a great demeanor and was on top of every request (and there were a few, as a former bartender and server). His personable and fun attitude made all the difference when waiting for my flight. Thank you for all you do Andrew!!! Also, the bevies and food are top notch!!!“

“Great vibes. Loved the look“

“Our Mother’s Day event at Postino 9CO was incredible. Molly Jones offered incredible thoughtfulness, kindness and service as the person in charge. And, as usual the food and wine selection is simply incredible. We will be back“

“Great food. A must when your in Denver“

“Second time organizing a private dinner in their venue and I will definitely do the 3rd! The service, booking process, staff, everything was great. Our guests loved the ambiance and food. Definitely recommend for smaller groups, larger groups, or even for romantic dinners.“

“We had the wine flight tonight. The owner was extremely nice & we chatted for awhile. This is a very nice neighborhood wine bar.“

“Great little spot 12345“

“A nice date place. Cocktails were great, Belladonna's Kiss and Blushing Moon were particularly good. The only food was a charcuterie board, but a good selection on it. Great service, but the overly loud music was one beat the entire time there: bootsandpants and bootsandpants... you get the idea. Definitely make reservations!“

“We were in town for my Birthday, and booked a reservation based on a great recommendation. Everything about this dinner was nothing short of outstanding!! The food, the service, the drinks, the atmosphere made this night so perfect. Absolutely amazing!!!“

“Amazing food, service, and atmosphere 💕“

“A phenomenal experience through and through. From the sommelier, Andrew's, guidance on their impressive wine list to our waitress, Kate's, recommendations on the menu, the service was beyond top-notch. The atmosphere was cozy, warm, and the seats at the chef's counter kept us awe-inspired. Each and every dish we tasted was incredible; the balance of flavor, texture, and presentation left nothing to be desired. It was truly the perfect place to celebrate a special occasion, or simply revel in all that a dining experience can be.“

“Table 6 in Denver’s Alamo Placita neighborhood delivered an incredible dining experience with each dish showcasing farm‑to‑table freshness and creative flavors. From the tender broccolini and creamy carrot hummus to the perfectly seared grilled beef coulotte and rich duck confit, everything I ate was exceptional, and the chocolate beignets provided a decadent finish. The service was attentive and friendly without ever feeling rushed, making the evening both comfortable and relaxed. The atmosphere is chill and unpretentious, perfect for a laid‑back night out with friends. I’ll definitely be back soon!“

“We two had dinner (no wine) before flight. Less crowded than other nearby food sources, and exceeded expectations for airport food.
AMBIANCE: 3.5. More private than most airport restaurants.
SERVICE: 4.5. She was cheerful and prompt.
FOOD: 3.5
- Burrata Bowl Salad: 4.0.
- Tomato Mozzarella Pizza: 3.0“

“Service was phenomenal and drinks were fantastic! Charles took amazing care of us!“

“Wonderful local gem! Super happy they've brought back the extended HH from 4-5pm to 4-6pm. Much appreciated. I've frequented this place maybe a dozen times over the last 4 years. Their clam pizza is excellent! I was skeptical at first but it is a marriage made in heaven.“

“A wonderful place. The food is exceptionally delicious—not just tasty, but absolutely amazing. The staff is very polite, and the atmosphere is lovely.“

“my daughter took me here for my birthday lunch yesterday. The food was amazing. Thank you Ella for such wonderful service. The whole staff is great“

“My fiance and I came here for our Valentines date and were blown away. We are thinking of going to Spain for our honeymoon and wanted to try Spanish food before pulling the trigger. After trying 9th Door we are completely sold. The food just kept getting better and better with each dish. It was full of flavor and truly blew us away in every way. We want to make this our new special spot for date nights.“

“Had an amazing dinner and an amazing server Noah!!! 10/10 experience!! Every bite of food was amazing and everyone was excited to eat their leftovers!!“

“If you want a predictably fabulous meal with impeccable service- why go anywhere else? The staff is phenomenal, especially Ilan, who we've now had so many times that he knows what we like to drink and our favorite meals. While Capital Grille may be a chain restaurant, the people there make it feel uniquely welcoming and special. It's our go-to spot when we want to know we will leave happy no matter what.“

“Leven’s is incredible. The food is homemade. The flavors big and bold and delicious. And the service is the best I’ve had in years. Makes me wish I lived closer. It’s that good.“

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

“This is my favorite restaurant! The food has a sensuous and complex flavor profile while also being rustic Italian. You will not find a better pomodoro sauce anywhere unless your grandma is from Italy and has a long held family recipe. The pasta is hand made and has a perfect texture and amazing flavor with the sauce. The house made buratta is the freshest, creamiest and thickest you’ll enjoy outside of select NYC restaurants that are famous for making their own mozzarella, ricotta or buratta. And the staff treat their guests like they’ve invited you into their own home. Jessica was amazing! All together, going to Luca’s is like getting the perfect big warm hug.“

“We started coming here about a year ago for their awesome lunch sashimi specials and somehow it quickly turned into an almost-weekly tradition. Whether it’s a quick workday lunch or a full-on family feast, this place never misses.
The fish is always served at exactly the right temperature, which is surprisingly rare and makes such a difference. The spicy edamame is truly one of a kind and a must-order every time.
David takes incredible care of us on every visit, and our kids beg to come along because they feel like total VIPs. Warm, consistent service and truly excellent sushi. We’re so lucky to have this place in our neighborhood!“

“Ollie and Park's is a wonderful addition to the 17th Street neighborhood. The food is consistently well prepared and the staff at the highest level of customer service. So happy they are here!!“

“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.😉“

“Such a cute place with great food and wine! Made for a fun date night“

“What an outstanding experience it is for the tasting menu, we devoured every succulent mouthful! Incredible flavors, we loved every course, we enjoyed so many creative cocktails, and mocktails, hot toddies, a gastronomic feast for your taste buds! Of course the service was just as outstanding! The dessert was orgasmically good! As a lifelong white wine drinker, I enjoyed the best glass of white wine ever thank you, Sam, for introducing a new variety grape I just love“

“BoomBots Pasta is dangerous because you go in thinking, “I’ll just grab a quick bowl of pasta,” and then suddenly you’re sitting there wondering if ordering a second one would be socially acceptable. (Spoiler alert, I did and took it home)

Second, the place has personality. Not the sterile “fast casual” kind where everything looks like it was designed by a committee of beige paint swatches. BoomBots feels alive. Like if a really cool robot and a passionate pasta chef teamed up and said, “Let’s feed Denver properly.” The Dirty Martini Bucatini was incredible. Salty, briny, garlicky, and perfectly cooked. It sounds a little chaotic on paper but it absolutely works. And the Big Ass Mozz Stick is exactly what the name promises. Giant mozzarella sticks that pull apart with that dramatic cheese stretch everyone hopes for but rarely gets. It’s basically mozzarella engineering. The sauce is delicious too. Everything was great, the vibe is fun, and I’m already planning my return purely for pasta and questionable levels of melted cheese.

Five stars.“

“I’ve worked in the service industry my entire life and I get goosebumps thinking about the food at Sap Sua. It’s the place I come to when I want to specifically remember a meal with my partner, friends or family because I can taste the love in the food and feel the love at the table.

The service is always joyous and convenient and I’m always excited to dry a different cocktail whenever I come. I have heard rumors that the management and chefs treat the staff well, but the sincere attitude of the entire establishment would be proof of that enough. Any neighborhood in the world would and should be proud to have a place like Sap Sua nearby (even though they are dodger and laker fans).“

“Great atmosphere and drinks!“

“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!!!“

“Equal parts hip and cozy with welcoming lighting, old movies playing on the TV in the corner of the bar and always tasteful music playing which makes this a great place to meet up with friends for great cocktails and conversation. There's an outdoor patio that is lovely on warm days tucked away just enough that the traffic doesn't bother, but still feels urban. Happy hour has incredible prices on food and inventive, local cocktails. Every one of the mussel recipes is great and I love their shoestring fries plain, or dressed up in the many options they offer. The eggplant puree is a great accompaniment to any visit. I can't say enough how thoughtfully this place was put together. I also have to mention that as someone who enjoys meeting up with friends, but also likes to go to places to read alone, Dew Drop is perfect for either of these. Very grateful to have this place in the neighborhood!“

“We had a fantastic experience at Venice! We’ve lived in Denver for 20 years and we never knew this place existed. Great atmosphere and the food was amazing, so authentic! We went with our 3 kids (13, 10 and 10), they ordered off the kids menu and loved the fettuccini Alfredo. The service was excellent, and our server, Gillian was on point. I can’t say enough good things about him. We will most definitely be back. I would recommend this place to anyone. This place is really nice and intimate feeling. Great for a date night or a family dinner, so long you have well behaved kids who love good food.“

“Great joint on Tennyson... Will definitely be back!!!“

“Server was friendly and attentive (without hovering), food was delicious and the wines were good. By far my favorite wine from the flights we tried was the Viognier, which isn’t usually a go-to for me. And the baked cambozola was amazing! They were also clearly observing good current phase of pandemic practices, with staff all masked and tables well spaced out. A sign out front demanded patrons put on masks before entering. Made me comfortable, even though it was one of my first experiences returning to indoor dining.“

“My book club went in during valentines wknd and I’m sure our server was disappointed we decided to order ala carte rather than their $$ tasting menu but she was very gracious and gave us great service nonetheless. We ordered a wide variety of things and while I didn’t try everything - the katsu was a hit, the mushrooms and calamari were also good…the hummus plate on the other hand was a slap in the face. It was maybe a tablespoon of hummus with a few scraps of bread. On the topic of cheap toast - the GF focaccia was literally just toast. Not sure why you would force focaccia to be GF and then do such a bad job of it. For a higher end restaurant, they either need to remove that item or do it justice. Drinks were great & they seemed to have a good wine selection.“

“A great addition to an area in desperate need of good food. We commented on the ambience immediately after walking in, and the whole place has a consistent vibe with a lot of attention to detail. The veggie fajitas were great and the mushrooms in them were incredible. The grilled fish taco was also very good. We will definitely be back.“

“Great new place!! Super location knowledgeable staff. Cozy and urban.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brooklyn’s Finest Pizza — The Name Says It All! I don’t usually write long reviews, but when a business truly goes above and beyond, they deserve to be recognized — and Brooklyn’s Finest Pizza absolutely does. I ordered two pizzas recently, and one came out a little different from what I had requested. Totally understandable — mistakes happen! But the way this team handled the situation completely blew me away. From the moment I arrived, the manager personally came out to meet me and immediately apologized, even though I told him there was no need to. It was such a small mix-up, but they treated it as an opportunity to make things right and to make sure my experience was nothing short of perfect. You can really tell that everyone at Brooklyn’s Finest Pizza takes pride in what they do. The entire staff is upbeat, kind, and genuinely happy to be there. There’s a contagious positivity in that place — every single person is friendly, professional, and welcoming. It’s rare to find a restaurant that not only makes great food but also makes you feel good being there. Now, let’s talk about the food — because it’s on a whole other level. The pizza alone is hands down the best in Colorado — perfect crust, flavorful sauce, melty cheese, and fresh toppings that taste like they were just picked. But the Italian food? Oh my goodness. It’s absolutely amazing. From the pinwheels to the chicken parm, the Stromboli, spaghetti, and meatballs — every dish is phenomenal. You can taste the care and authenticity in every bite. It’s real, homemade-style Italian comfort food done to perfection. A big shoutout to Carlo, the owner, for building such an incredible team and for training his staff to not just serve food, but to serve an experience. It’s clear that he takes pride in what he’s created — a restaurant where the quality of the food and the quality of the service are equally top-tier. Brooklyn’s Finest Pizza has earned a lifelong customer in me. Between the unbeatable food, the friendly staff, and the exceptional service, this place sets the standard for what every local restaurant should strive to be. If you haven’t tried them yet, do yourself a favor — order a pizza (or two!) and some of their Italian dishes. You’ll see exactly why this place truly lives up to its name. Thanks to the Denver location on Lowell across from Regis.“

“I love hello darling. While their coffee and aesthetic are both amazing, the service is phenomenal. Madeline immediately gives you a warm welcome and treats the interaction as so much more than just a transaction. She’s an absolute rockstar“

“🎉Happy Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽🇲🇽😋😋“

“Great atmosphere and food“

“My favorite coffee shop in Denver. Can't wait to go back!“
