54thirty Rooftop: Denver's Top Lounge & Cocktail Bar with Spectacular Views

My review is with a grain of salt because I came here specifically to watch the Christmas drone show (as the drone show listed this rooftop as a suggested spot to watch them, so it was probably busier than usual). Parking around here is tricky but I think most people would know that going in. Finally found a spot and realized I forgot my wallet (with my ID) at home, but thankfully nobody carded me during the evening. Reminder to set up your CO license app on your phone for situations like this! When we got there, we found out they charged $25 in advance before going to the rooftop (like a ticket) but it counted as a voucher for anything you bought upstairs so it wasn't a true "cover charge." Upstairs was definitely packed and our friend thankfully got one of the last couch spots. The covered/enclosed area was definitely warmer than the exposed ones, though there are some firepits around. They also had blankets everywhere which were a terrific idea and helped keep us much warmer than without them. Service was a little slow but I can't blame them due to how busy it was. I got a hibiscus cocktail which was good and not too sweet. My friend and husband both got hot drinks (they had a cider, and something else which came with alcohol). Both smelled delicious. The drone show itself was cool but I was disappointed (not the bar's fault) that the show was so low. I was hoping it would be kind of.....up in the air. So when the show started, you HAD to stand up and walk near the end of the bar to see the show (and try to see around the 6'4 guy who decided he was gonna stand right in front of everyone). Anyway, drinks and snacks were a little on the pricy side here but I'd say it kind of goes hand-in-hand with a nicer hotel rooftop bar. Eventually some people left and we got to sit near a firepit instead which was a bit nicer than prior.

Cool rooftop bar with very cozy fireplaces and blankets. Amazing view and delicious food service is fast !

Wow! This place has great food. I wasn't expecting a bar to have such delicious food, we had the tacos, lamb dish and crème brûlée. I know....what a combination haha. But I was impressed. The drinks and the music were good as well.

When people come from out of town to visit me I usually take them here for a drink. The views are spectacular (mountains etc) Sure drinks are pricey...but aint everything nowadays. I really like the apps and am happy they dont serve huge plates here. Must tries are: Avocado Hummus, Elote Corn Dip, and Braised Short Rib Tacos. Highly recommend

Great spot for sunsets and grabbing a drink. Plenty of options on the menu. Small area so the seating gets taken up quickly. Would recommend getting there early for a sunset. Beautiful View and reasonable pricing.

Drinks were all delicious! My friends and I tried the froze, cherry limeade, and cold brew martinis. We enjoyed them all. A bit on the pricier side but usual I feel like for nice mixed cocktails these days. Appetizers were tasty but nothing extraordinary. View was nice as the sun set. Quick and attentive service. Seating is first come, first serve and once it got closer to sunset, it did start to get crowded and there were a lot of people standing around.

Vibes? Immaculate! The views are amazing Service? Great when it isn't busy. It can be hard to get your order in sometimes. Drinks? Yes. They have a lot to choose from and I was a huge fan of the All Day Froze! It was a refreshing treat to beat the sunshine!

Hoppin! Great spot to drink, dance, and look at the beautiful city. Ambiance is loud and makes a person want to dance. They make a good Bloody Mary. Very busy. For most of our visit there was a live DJ. They have an appetizers and a full bar. The space was comfortable and we had a terrific time. Pricey- so bring ya wallet. Parking is in a parking building or on the street in downtown Denver. Bathrooms were clean and staff is friendly. The crowd is young. We will be back.

Great ambiance here and fabulous views. Can get a little windy being outside on a roof but views are worth it. The drinks here are a little pricey but you are essentially paying for the view. The drinks themselves were pretty good. They only offer apps, not entrees here. All of the apps we got were great! Some of the spicy dishes were a lot spicier than I was anticipating. I've been here multiple times and will keep coming back for the amazing views. It can get crowded here but seating is first come first serve so you can always stand somewhere until a seat opens up and grab it.
