Coolest Bars in Denver
Golden Triangle/Capitol Hill
- Hudson Hill
- Mizuna – French restaurant with a tasting menu. Their cheese plate is a must. Check out their Hoosier Mama cocktail. It’s topped with their made-in-house candied citrus and a rosemary wreath. During summer, Mizuna puts on a Grapes in the Garden event where, for $45, you can enjoy unlimited wine, bubbly, and popcorn! You also get three small bites and additional plates at a discount. We highly recommend the cheese plate with bread from LoDough Bakery!
- Salita – Probably my most FAVORITE bar in Denver. I love their Bend and Snap (peas) cocktail so much! And Jason and Santi introduced me to the Jagerita.
- Town Hall Collaborative
- Vesper Lounge
