Fizz’s Top 5 Denver Patios for sunshine, snacks and people-watching

Mar 26, 2026, 9:23 AM

(This list deserves and honorable mention…School Yard Beer Garden in the Golden Triangle. Trust me)

  1. Linger (LoHi)
    Rooftop patio, killer views, and a menu that makes you order “one more thing” every single time.

  2. Avanti F&B (LoHi)
    Basically patio paradise: tons of seating, skyline views, and you can grab food from multiple spots depending on your mood.

  3. Recess Beer Garden (LoHi/Sunnyside-ish)
    Big, laid-back outdoor space that feels like a backyard party—great for groups and day-drinking that turns into dinner.

  4. El Five (LoHi)
    If you want “date night patio” with Denver views, this is it—go around sunset and pretend you planned it that way. Don’t skip the paella….

  5. Los Chingones (RiNo)
    Solid rooftop energy in RiNo, great margarita situation, and prime location for turning “one patio stop” into an all-night adventure.
