What time do most LoDo happy hours start and end?

The majority run Monday through Friday from 4:00 or 4:30 PM to 6:00 or 6:30 PM. Some places like Terminal Bar start as early as 3:00 PM. Almost none run on weekends — Saturday and Sunday are brunch territory in LoDo.

Are LoDo happy hours bar-only or can I get a table?

Most upscale spots like Guard and Grace restrict happy hour to bar and lounge seating only. Rooftop bars (Departure, EDGE, SkyBar) usually extend deals to all rooftop seats. Hooch and Terminal Bar apply happy hour pricing regardless of where you sit.

What should I expect to spend at a LoDo happy hour?

Budget $25-$40 per person for two drinks and a shared appetizer. Cocktails during happy hour run $9-$12 (normally $14-$18). Beer sits around $5-$7. Food discounts vary — Guard and Grace's half-price oysters are the best food deal downtown.

Is there parking near LoDo happy hour spots?

Street meters are free after 6 PM and on weekends, but you'll rarely find a spot at 4:30 PM on a weekday. The parking garages at Union Station and along Wazee Street run $8-$15 for evening rates. Better bet: take the light rail to Union Station and walk. Most spots listed here are within a 10-minute walk of the station.
