Denver happy hour culture is intense in the best way. The city has enough working professionals, outdoor enthusiasts logging off early, and hospitality industry workers on off-days to sustain some of the most competitive drink deals in the Mountain West. From $5 craft cocktails at guard and grace to $3 pints at the Great Divide taproom, here's where your dollar stretches furthest between 3 and 6pm. Denver rooftop bars
Pro tip: Many Denver restaurants offer reverse happy hour from 9-11 PM with the same deals as afternoon hours. This is especially common in LoDo and RiNo — perfect for a late-night bite without late-night prices.
