The sunset views. The creative cocktails. And the city skyline at night. This is why Denver's rooftop bars are the place to be when the weather warms.

If you go: We have four soaring spots for you to visit.

Kisbee on the Roof (Jacquard Hotel, Cherry Creek)

The vibe: Think elevated nightlife that matches the luxury hotel's sophistication. Enjoy live DJ sets Fridays and Saturdays and a pool where you can reserve cabanas.

Rook (Catbird Hotel, RiNo)

The vibe: The former Red Barber space is transformed into a social clubhouse that blends "curated chaos with irreverent energy." Try daily riddles to unlock drink specials, join 9-ball pool parties and play popular games like Scrabble or Gin Rummy to keep the mood playful.

Hey Kiddo (Tennyson Street)

The vibe: Hey Kiddo, OK Yeah and The Rooftop are three distinct spaces at the same restaurant. The latter offers snacks and cocktails to get you started. Walk-in only, no reservations.

Spritz (Sheraton Denver Downtown hotel)

The vibe: Cabanas and a pool bar make this a great place to cool off in downtown. Open to guests and the public through ResortPass.
