The best places to grab a drink in Denver

Updated May 23, 2023
Mile High City’s bar scene is enjoyable any time of year, thanks to the numerous craft breweries, distilleries, and urban wineries that fill this grand mountain town.
Greek bottles and Mediterranean-inspired small plates await at a cozy wine spot in Cherry Creek. A distinctly Polynesian vibe distinguishes a playful tiki bar in Baker. One of the city’s longest-running taverns serves a show-stopping martini—and red wine by the goblet—at a storied hotel downtown.
From luxe cocktail dens to classic watering holes to wine bars that come with a crash course on grapes, Denver has a place for every type of reveling. Read on for a guide to the city’s 9 best bars to visit now.
