Nothing says summer quite like patio sippin’. Here’s where you’ll find us ☀️😎🍹

Sitting on Linger’s rooftop patio under the iconic vintage neon “Olinger Mortuaries” sign, you’ll catch a bird’s eye view of what’s happening in the Highlands.

The large shady trees and soothing water feature here bring charm and privacy to this patio tucked away on Santa Fe Drive.

Packed with dense foliage and an exposed, earthy floor, this patio takes you right out of the city and transports you seemingly into the middle of the Rocky Mountain wilderness, complete with fire pits and tree stump seating.

A full bar, comfy seating, and refreshing greenery can all be found on this covered rooftop overlooking Larimer Square — perfect for people-watching and margarita-sippin’.

The roomy rooftop patio here is great, but the real draw is the open-air bleacher-style seating offering a picture perfect view of the Denver city skyline.

Well-loved for its lack of fuss and fancy, this Denver dining staple extends its laid back vibes to a private little patio, perfect for nabbing some fresh air under a shady umbrella.

If you really want sky-high views, hit the rooftop bar and restaurant at the top of the eight-story Source Hotel in RiNo.

Looking for a patio where you can still catch the game? This cozy English-inspired pub has you covered (literally) with its TV-lined patio.

☀️ Psst! There are SO many ways to make the most of a Mile High summer — this is just the start! In fact, I’m building a Denver Summer Bucket List to share soon. So slide into my DMs with your fave summertime activities 👇
