Psst… 10 Denver Patios to Visit Summer 2022

Welcome to our patio party!

With summer just around the corner, we came up with 10 of the best patios in Denver to help you celebrate the season. So relax and unwind… you’re on patio time.

1. PERDIDA

Kicking off our list is a Denver Ear favorite, Perdida Kitchen

Aside from amazing food and drinks, their patio is one of the vibiest we’ve visited in Denver. Perdida is serving up a slice of the Baja coast in the middle of Wash Park, complete with a VW bus. Perfect for those summer date nights, girl’s nights, or just cause; this is one patio you can’t miss.

Psst… be sure to learn more about our visit

2. THE WOODS

Would you look at that – The Woods Restaurant and Rooftop is up next.

This amazing patio/rooftop, at The Source Hotel, is one of our favorite places to get our chill on. With incredible views, food, drinks and more it’s easy to see what makes The Woods such a great place to take in all Denver has to offer.

3. MIMOSAS

You had us at Mimosas

Up next is one of our favorite brunch spots with a phenomenal patio, Mimosas. Located in Five Points – their covered patio is the perfect place to spend a Sunday Funday while enjoying some homemade brunch favorites and next-level mimosas.

4. IMPROPER CITY

@Improper City

While our next pick needs no introduction, Improper City has plenty of patio to keep you cool all summer long. This dog friendly patio is serving up boozy slushies, food trucks galore, weekend DJ sets, and plenty of summer fun you won’t want to miss. 

Psst… be sure to keep an eye out for their Sunday pop-up events.

5. ACOVA

While our next pick might be best known for their phenomenal food, their patio is one of our favorite (not-so) hidden gems in Denver.

We’re of course talking about Acova, located in LoHi. Whether you’re stopping by for brunch, lunch, happy hour, dinner and everything in-between, Acova’s patio has got you covered (literally).

Psst… be sure to ask about their slushies.

6. BLUE MOON RINO

Patio weather + Blue Moon… say less!

We’re of course talking about Blue Moon Brewery, located in RiNo. With an impressive patio space (complete with a fire pit), your favorite brews, and plenty of good eats – it’s easy to see why this is a must this summer.

 If that’s not enough to get you in the door… did we mention they have Little Man Ice Cream “on tap”?

7. CART DRIVER

@Cart Driver

Are you as obsessed with Cart Driver as we are?

Aside from their seriously stacked menu – their patio is one of the best places to enjoy dining al fresco this summer. Whether you’re in the mood from some phenomenal pizza, a cocktail for a cause, or just looking to relax; Cart Driver is one to add to the list.

8. HUDSON HILL

Coffee and cocktails… these are a few of our favorite things.

Aside from the obvious, Hudson Hill is one of our favorite spots in Cap Hill to sip the day away. Their quaint patio is a perfect spot to keep cool on a hot summer day or keep it casual on a warm summer night – all while you enjoy your choice of expertly crafted coffee, cocktails, beer, wine, and spirits.

9. ACE EAT SERVE

Do we have any ping-pong fans?

We’re of course talking about Ace Eat Serve. From live music sessions, endless ping-pong rounds, phenomenal food and more; the patio at Ace Eat Serve is the place to be this summer. If you need us, we’ll be working on our serves.

10. FORGET ME NOT

Last but certainly not least is the unforgettable Forget Me Not.

A must for all the cocktail lovers out there, Forget Me Not’s patio is the perfect place to keep cool this summer. With great views from the heart of Cherry Creek and unique cocktails, reservations go quickly so be sure to book yours while you can!
