  6. Rank 6. Populus Denver

    A 2024 Denver hotel modeled on native aspen trees channels nature through recycled materials, local art, and elevator birdsong into something both earnest and genuinely comfortable. The sustainability feels less like marketing than architectural fact—a place where environmental ambition and creature comfort actually align.

    Dazzle has been Denver's destination for world-class jazz for over fifteen years, hosting everyone from Esperanza Spalding to Bill Frisell in a room with pristine acoustics and not a bad sightline. The bar is equally serious about its martinis and a roster that runs from bar burgers to a renowned four-cheese mac, making it easy to linger through a set.

    A 1933 tavern on Larimer Street that's managed to stay scrappy and unpretentious despite the neighborhood's relentless polish, Herb's pours stiff drinks at sensible prices and books live bands most nights. It's the kind of place where you might catch a cover band, nurse a bourbon, and briefly forget you're in Denver.

    An Art Deco bar just off Larimer Street where you can nurse a proper cocktail while live jazz plays from the stage, all without breaking the bank or dressing up more than you feel like. It's the kind of place that makes an anniversary feel ceremonial but works just as well for a Thursday night when you want to feel a little more sophisticated than usual.

  30. Rank 30. Ophelia's Electric Soapbox

    A sunken stage and dance floor anchor this deliberately outlandish bar in a historic Ballpark building that's been everything from a bordello to a peep show, now wrapped in '70s excess and vintage art. The small-plates menu matches the theatricality with bison burgers, Belgian mussels in saison curry, and Scandinavian duck meatballs—proof the kitchen takes itself as seriously as the room's electric, over-the-top vibe.

    Mercury Cafe is a four-decade-old institution that feels less like a restaurant-bar-venue and more like a community living room, serving vegetarian-leaning comfort food while hosting tango parties, poetry slams, and classical concerts in three ornate rooms. Whether you're there for a gin cocktail, a dance lesson, or simply to witness Denver's most reliably weird cultural programming, everyone finds their people here.
