50 Best Beer Bars near Edgewater

“Joyride is great, has a ton of TVs (which isn’t common at breweries) and an amazing selection of different beers. Their hazy’s and west coast IPAs are super tasty (and strong to boot). Add the rooftop with great views and this place is tough to beat locally in Denver“

“Loved the live music by Michael Strappelli and bingo night! Staff is extremely friendly and very family friendly atmosphere.“

“This is not a bar — it’s a living artifact. A sacred ruin. A cash-only cathedral of cheap beer and brutal honesty parked right on the edge of Sloan’s Lake, Denver’s glimmering puddle of cosmic reflection. The Lakeview Lounge doesn’t care about your apps, your IPA flights, or your precious little debit card. Bring cash, order your drink, and stay out of the way.

I asked for a Coors Light — and bless them, they poured it into a glass. Not a mason jar. Not a frosty mug. A glass. Clear, cold, straight from the tap. It hit exactly as advertised: like a liquid apology from the state of Colorado itself. Not fancy. Not ironic. Just beer the way it was meant to be — fast, cold, and consumed within earshot of a pool cue smacking chalk-dusted vengeance into a corner pocket.

The pool table in back? A survivor. Sloped. Slightly angry. You don’t line up shots so much as negotiate them. The regulars know the lean, the light, the curse words that help. Play at your own risk.

And then there’s that patio — a stone slab of outlaw luxury with a direct line of sight to modern America in four acts: bar, busy street, walking trail, lake. You sip your drink with traffic howling ten feet from your skull, joggers panting past in the distance with Bluetooth ears and haunted eyes, and beyond them all, the lake — shimmering like a lie you almost believed. There’s peace out there, if you squint past the madness.

Five stars. No flair, no plastic in your wallet. Just glass-poured salvation, a battered pool table, and the best damn view in the city. The Lakeview Lounge isn’t for everyone — just the lucky few who know exactly where to sit and what to order.“

“Fantastic bartenders atmosphere a little bit loud for carrying on a conversation but all the drinks looked amazing and you can bring the food in from the food area and enjoy yourself while you’re having whatever cocktails air conditioning isn’t too bad. I would like to see it a little bit colder butit’s a very open area so I think that’s why it’s a little bit warmer than I think it should be for as hot as it is but definitely it must come and check it out.“

“Had a lovely date night here. We both agreed that it was in the top 5 meals of our lives! Unbelievable experience, amazing food, unique cocktails, and great service! Can't wait to go back. Please order the Tostada de Toro (I'll be dreaming about it for the next few weeks.)“

“Fun atmosphere with plenty of big screens to watch sports. The food is excellent and the beer is even better!“

“Best burger I've had in a long while. Customer service rocked it out of the park!! I would even walk across Denver for those fries. Thanks Hopdoddy!!“

“Out of the way location with plenty of comfortable seating, I just wish their coffee was hotter.“

“Last night we went here and it was awesome! We opted to do the equivalent of the chef‘s table, and let them decide what to bring, and when. It was absolutely amazing and delicious! Definitely creative. The drinks were phenomenal as well. Our favorites were the Hamachi, the off the menu salmon, tartare, the mushroom Ramen soup and the foie gras. ❤️“

“We realized when we got there they were closing soon but host was super nice and welcoming and bar tender reassured us it was no big deal. Pizza was DELICIOUS, absolutely recommend this place. Good food with the nicest friendliest people that work there !!!!“

“Fantastic, cozy outdoor space. Small indoor seating area with board games. Variety of beverages & snacks and very friendly staff.“

“Pizza, Wings, Subs and now, Wraps! Great afternoon for Lunch on the patio!“

“Great food and atmosphere“

“The bartender is great! Very friendly environment.“

“Just went for some coffee this morning and I’m beyond impressed. Between great coffee and great customer service, this place is 5 stars ALL DAY.“

“This place rocks!! Belgian beer isn’t for everyone…. But people- wake up!! This is the best beer in Denver. Everything on the menu is soo good and the beer is strong. Usually you need some crazy IPA to have a 7% beer, but look no further- most of the beers here are 7-10% and you wouldn’t have any idea! Belgian beer is so smooth and unique, you won’t find anything like this in Denver. The staff are lovely too! Go grab a pint here, you wont be bummed.“

“We were treated like friends that have known each other for 20 years!“

“stopped in last night - out of town visitors, and we had some good beer. Our bartender, Tim, was very knowledgeable and helpful.“

“Great atmosphere and music, excellent service, and fabulous owners“

“Very Cool bar and good people“

“Yummy!! This place was fun and amazing!“

“Really love this place and the beer and the owners but they need to get rid of the dirtbag rude bartender. Not sure his name but he opens up for you; brown hair and plays nothing but jazz. I am absolutely positive you will double your business getting rid of him.“

“Our favorite matcha in Denver!“

“Favorite Restaurant to come back for sure. Exceptional service, the food was excellent, balanced flavors, cozy/modern ambience. Iza was very attentive and very friendly, we probably talked too much abt our life & our older kids. But, she made us feel at home. Meeting the owner was such a delight. Great place for dinner or just for a cafezinho with some delicious desserts. Trust me, you will enjoy it.“

“Great service! The staff were so friendly and their beer is excellent!! I’d highly recommend this place to anyone!“

“I love this location! It’s right on the way home from work for me. I also love the smell of beer being brewed!!!! The staff is super friendly, the food trucks are super tasty! The beer is excellent. The taproom is very white and tidy. Very clean look! The view of the park across the street is very beautiful at dusk.“

“great sours. worth the visit“

“The perfect place to pregame before you party. This was our second time going to Casa Bonita and each time we went to Westfax since we were early. The quality of the brews is resplendent and the variety is all encompassing. They were even courageously kid friendly at 2-3pm.

Unless you are a sober sally this is the place to ride out reservations and a destination unto itself for the craft beer connoisseur.“

“I wandered in expecting a great local coffee experience. I left having experienced great coffee but even more connected with their purpose and community. Dirt Coffee Bar delivers something mere coffee shops cannot match.“

“So fun! Great venue for a date, party, or solo! Jenn and team are amazing!“

“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! 🍻💙“

“Good beer & awesome service .... THATS WHATS UP!“

“A great gathering place with a nice selection of drinks! Laid back atmosphere and courteous staff!“

“Good atmosphere and beer!“

“I just love this place. Staff are amazing and work their butts off. Wish there were misters out back.“

“This was my first time to Rare Bird sine they open the rooftop pizza kitchen and it was amazing! We went for one of their Bird Dog nights and enjoyed pizza and drinks on the roof. I got the mushroom pizza and it was Devine! I’m vegan and by leaving off the cheese I got a delicious vegan dinner full of flavorful veggies. I highly recommend!“

“Ummm, this was some of the most lovely surprises I’ve had in a while. We were just strolling by when we heard the most glorious voice (turned out to be the owner) bellowing out the open windows letting us know they had brunch cocktails to go. So, while waiting for our table next door we popped inside for a quick drink. Well, we were there a total of maybe 9 mins, but in those 9 minutes we lived a FULL life.

I had one of the best bloody Mary’s I’ve had in ages (dill-forward in the BEST way 🤤), blew bubbles (🤷‍♂️), voted for which of three non-profits I wanted to receive their quarterly donation (😍), and drank a mimosa from a champagne bong (👯🎉).

Fun was had. Drinks were delicious. Cackles were cackled. This was one of those magical moments with friends that are impossible to curate...you just have to put yourself out there and hope you stumble upon a gem like this.

10/10. HARD Do Recommend.“

“We live over a hour away, but when we do come to town, we love to stop by this location or the one off of colfax with our kiddos. Every time we go, it’s always a great time and amazing food! Today our waiter just made our whole day! We all ordered the Nashville chicken tenders with their waffle fries, except my daughter, she wanted cheese pizza. My daughter had just finished her pizza and as she was finishing up our waiter brought her out another slice on the house. Such an amazing gesture, such a kind heartfelt act. Thank you guys for always making our time here amazing!“

“Best hotel I ever stayed in. No lying. Went during Halloween and paid $258 per night. A bit pricey but the location and amenities made up for it.

Upon check in they give you a free draft beer/rosé.
The hotel is baseball theme and has a bunch of food spots surrounding it. Hot tub has a nice view. And they served free ice cream at 4 pm with a musician playing music. Definitely will visit again if I am ever in town“

“Amazing service by not only the floor staff, but as well from management! Colorado Campfire, feels like the type of bar where everyone knows you name. You feel invited and welcome. Eva is a excellent mixologist. Johnny was extremely helpful when deciding what food to order and Reese handled a 10 person table with ease.

10 out of 5 Stars

I've found my watering hole.“

“I love this place to get homework done!“

“GREAT pizza, wonderful service. Love Walters.“

“Great folks and great craft beers there!“

“Perfect Denver patio with great beer.“

“It is a very suitable plaza for the needs of the people and has a new restaurant called Sabor a Taste of México with authentic Mexican food and seafood and the sushi is delicious fresh, the people are very friendly and the atmosphere was fantastic 100% for this place“

“An absolute delight! The patio is a great hang, the stout was fabulous:)“

“🎉Happy Cinco de Mayo 🇲🇽🇲🇽😋😋“

“Out of the Barrel Taproom keeps me coming back for all the right reasons—great beer, tasty food, and an awesome staff. 🍻 Salina is an absolute gem and makes every visit better. Their Wednesday special is unbeatable, the kind of deal you plan your week around. Whether you’re in the mood for pizza or a sandwich, you can’t go wrong—everything hits the spot. It’s the perfect combo of chill vibes, good people, and flavors that never miss. Definitely a go-to hangout I’ll always recommend!“

“Deliciosa comida! Exelente servicio , la gente muy atenta. La comida Fresca! 😋“

“The service was great. Shaina was knowledgeable and had suggestions and accommodations for those with nut allergies, lactose intolerance, and vegetarians all of which were in our party.
The horchata was a 11/10!! it was not like Horchata I’ve ever had. It was made with coconut milk or cream and toasted coconut on top. The second one we got had rum in it and we should not have done that. It’s way better without the rum.
Papaya/mango app 8/10
Burrata & corn with plantain chips 10/10
Coconut rice 7/10
Tomato & avocado salad-6/10. The tomatoes themselves were perfectly ripe and delicious. The avocado purée was lacking
Papas(loaded fingerlings)-7.5/10
We were cruising along great, and then the entrées came. Four of us ordered the picanha with the chimichurri sauce. And all four of us were highly disappointed. I would give it a 3/10. The french fries that came with it 9/10. Garlic aioli-6/10 tasted too much like mayonnaise
The chimichurri sauce 7.5/10
The picanha 1/10. It was so grisly and hard to cut and hard too chew, that after sawing off three bites I was too frustrated and disappointed to eat anymore. For $50, this should have been at least a 7/10.
I would go back for the horchata and apps and shareable, but not for the entrees.“
