Denver Nightlife FAQs
What time do Denver bars and clubs close?
Most bars serve until 2:00 AM. A few venues host late-night events, but last call is usually before 2. Check the specific spot on weekends and during special events.
What are the best neighborhoods for a night out?
LoDo and Union Station for cocktail lounges and clubs. RiNo for trendy spots and live DJs. Cherry Creek for upscale vibes. South Broadway for casual bars and music.
Do Denver clubs have a dress code?
Most are smart casual. Sneakers are fine at many spots, but athletic wear or flip flops can get turned away. Upscale lounges may expect elevated attire on weekends.
Where can I find great rooftop bars with views?
Downtown and LoDo rooftops have the skyline. RiNo rooftops bring art district views. Summer and fall sunsets book up fast, so arrive early or snag a reservation if offered.
How expensive is a night out in Denver?
Cocktails run about $12–18, beers $6–9, covers $10–25 at busier clubs. Happy hours and weekday nights are the best value.
What is the vibe on weekdays vs. weekends?
Weekdays feel laid back, perfect for cocktail bars and speakeasies. Fridays and Saturdays get busy with DJs, dancing, and lines, especially after 10 PM.
Is it easy to get around at night?
Rideshare is your best bet. Downtown is walkable between LoDo and Union Station. Light rail runs late on weekends, but always check schedules before you go.
Any tips to avoid long lines and waits?
Arrive before 10 PM, join the list if available, and stick to one neighborhood. Rooftops fill first on warm nights, so start there, then move to lounges or clubs.
