Best damn patios out there
Summer is all about drinking beer on patios
May 9, 2008
The Foundry Billiards Club
1109 Walnut St., Boulder303-447-1803
Boulder is known for having amazing views of the Flatirons and....hot girls. The Foundry is known for their amazing patio that comes equipped with tables, a bar, and lots of people. Anytime of the day in the summer, you can go up, soak up some rays and have a ball.
Lodo's Bar and Grill
1946 Market St., Denver303-293-8555
It is amazing how many people they can squeeze onto the rooftop patio at Lodo's Bar and Grill. During the summer, they're known to get rowdy up there, that is for sure. They even hold the best swimsuit competition up there! Definitely a blast to grab some cocktails and party the night away on.
The Tavern Downtown
1949 Market St., Denver303-299-0100
A three-deck rooftop patio, thunder bowling, pool tables and plasmas! This place gets packed during summer days.... and nights. Across the street from Lodo's Bar and Grill, the two patios compete with each other. If you're on one, you look at the people on the patio across the street and think, "Our patio is cooler." This is what drinking and partying in Colorado is all about; the patios.
Charlie Brown's Bar & Grill
980 Grant St., Denver303-860-1655
The days of the crooner are over. No one sings like Sinatra anymore, or knows how to make a fedora look cool. That's what makes Charlie Brown's so wonderful. That, and their patio. During the crappy colder months they cover the puppy up, but once our good friend Mr. Sun pops up, they uncover it for all to enjoy. After all, the patio needs to see some Vitamin D action too.
Caldonia's Highway Tavern and Roadside BBQ
2252 S Parker Road, Denver303-752-3829
The neighborhood smokehouse and bar with bikinis and beer to boot. Their patio is the lesser known in the world of patios. With an outdoor bar who can complain? Fine, maybe your fair-skinned friend (lobster back) hates it.
Club Vinyl
1082 Broadway , Denver303-860-8469
Club Vinyl is a massive club consisting of four floors, including a rooftop patio that packs in the club crowd on the weekends. Since it's night, you don't need to worry about grabbing the ol' SPF 50 before partying on this ultra fabulous patio.
Lazy Dog Sports Bar & Grill
1346 Pearl St., Boulder303-440-3355
People will drink on any patio they're handed. But when you have a super nice patio, with comfy chairs, heat lamps, TVs and a nice bar, you get a party. The Lazy Dog is the patio we just described.
The West End Tavern
926 Pearl St., Boulder303-444-3535
Besides the big damn brick wall blocking a lot of the view, The West End still reigns as having one of the best patios in Boulder. On some nights, they screen movies on that big damn brick wall, too. So at least they turn a crappy thing into something positive.
Canopy Grill
2770 Arapahoe Rd. Ste. 116, Lafayette303-666-1130
Come on Lafayette needs some love too. After all, it is Boulder's friends of the east. The patio wraps around this fine Caribbean restaurant and has been known to book a couple bands to play out there on some nights. Not to mention, their mojitos are some of the best you've ever had. Mojitos and a wrap-around patio? See it's not too shabby after all. Haven't we learned not to be so judgemental.
Blue Moon Brewing Company at The Sandlot
So it's located within the gates of Coors Field. Who can deny the power of Blue Moon and America's favorite pastime of baseball? Newly remodeled, this beer garden is one that will get your patio undies in a bunch that's for sure.
Falling Rock Tap House
1919 Blake St., Denver303-293 -8338
This patio has a lot going for it. Loads of beer running through the walls of the building, close to Coors Field and somehow always seems to be facing the sun just when you need it, this patio definitely makes our list of best drinking patios.
